Economist Nouriel Roubini, one of Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) fiercest critics, attempted an April Fools&#8217; Day joke pretending to be Satoshi Nakamoto, but artificial intelligence bot Grok saw through the ruse.&nbsp;
What happened: In an X post on Tuesday, Roubini shared an article titled, "Nouriel Roubini Comes Out as Satoshi Nakamoto, Signs with Private Key."
The report claimed Roubini presented "indisputable evidence" to prove that he was the anonymous creator of the world's first blockchain.

</figure>
The economist known for his bearish predictions before the 2008 financial crisis wanted to "save the world" and created a digital currency with the help of a team of coders, the report mentioned..
"I came up with the idea, I came up with everything, and I mined the early blocks," he was quoted as saying. Roubini even claimed that he mined an early block believed to have been mined by Satoshi with his private key.

Polymarket Bettors Think It&#8217;s Unlikely</a>
To check the veracity of the claims, an X user, Ankit Madhwani, asked AI chatbot Grok for assistance, which led to the discovery of the prank.
"No, it&#8217;s likely an April Fools&#8217; prank. No evidence supports Nouriel Roubini as Satoshi Nakamoto—his Bitcoin criticism contradicts it. The April 1, 2021 article seems satirical, with no blockchain proof of a private key signature. This recurs as a crypto joke, especially on April Fools' Day," Grok replied.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

The article&#8217;s claims were already suspicious when Roubini purportedly disclosed his private keys, which is a strict no-no for cryptocurrency holders.
Why It Matters: Roubini has been a <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/11/roubini-bitcoin-is-mother-of-all-scams.html">staunch Bitcoin critic</a>, deeming it the "mother of all scams" and blockchain the most hyped technology ever.

'Dr. Doom' Nouriel Roubini Says He Is Satoshi Nakamoto, But Elon Musk's Grok Isn't Having It

The White House is set to hold a meeting on Wednesday with key officials to discuss the future of TikTok, as the app faces an April 5 deadline to secure a non-Chinese buyer or <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39150865/tiktok-parent-bytedance-appoints-former-warner-bros-lawyer-as-general-counsel-amid-ongoing-legal-bat">face a potential U.S. ban</a>.
What Happened: President Donald Trump is scheduled to consider a final proposal related to TikTok during a meeting at the Oval Office.
Vice President JD Vance, commerce secretary Howard Lutnick, national security adviser Mike Waltz, and director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard are expected to participate, reported Reuters, citing a White House official.

Trump's administration has made it clear that the deadline for the sale is final.
Why It Matters: Private equity firm Blackstone Inc. (NSYE: BX), along with other American investors such as Susquehanna International Group and General Atlantic, is reportedly <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/03/44563161/trump-says-tiktok-has-a-lot-of-potential-buyers-deal-to-come-before-saturday-deadline">discussing a bid</a>.
U.S. venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, led by co-founder Marc Andreessen, is also in talks to invest in TikTok's U.S. business.

Other possible buyers include a consortium led by Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>), TikTok's U.S. data partner, as well as Project Liberty, a group spearheaded by Frank McCourt that features Kevin O&#8217;Leary and Reddit Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RDDT#NYSE">RDDT</a>) co-founder Alexis Ohanian.
In February, TikTok returned to the Apple and Google app stores after <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43724471/tiktok-returns-to-apple-and-google-app-stores-after-a-month-long-hiatus">a month-long hiatus</a>. The app was temporarily removed in January due to a new national security law.
Trump has previously said that he might offer <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44506732/donald-trump-says-he-may-cut-tariffs-on-china-to-seal-tiktok-deal-bytedance-has-until-april-5-to-sell-or-face-us-ban">tariff relief to China</a> to facilitate the sale as the deadline approaches for ByteDance to divest TikTok&#8217;s U.S. operations.

TikTok Clock Ticks Louder As Deadline Approaches, Trump To Consider Final Proposal As Private Equity Firms Bid For Platform

The National Labor Relations Board has frozen two cases against Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) days after President Donald Trump nominated Crystal Carey, an attorney representing the tech giant, as the agency&#8217;s general counsel.
What Happened: The NLRB filed multiple complaints against the iPhone maker last year, alleging interference with employee organizing efforts, but abruptly pulled back from two cases late last week, according to <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/ad7fcc22-343e-47e3-a6f3-58bfd4294c9d">documents</a> reviewed by the Financial Times.
Carey, a Morgan Lewis &amp; Bockius partner, is listed in agency records as an attorney defending Apple in both cases. Morgan Lewis specializes in representing management in labor disputes and has also represented Elon Musk&#8216;s SpaceX and Amazon in challenges against the agency.
The postponed cases involve Janneke Parrish and Cher Scarlett, two leading figures of the 2021 &#8216;AppleToo&#8217; movement, an employee backlash against Apple&#8217;s handling of wage discrimination and harassment claims. Both women filed complaints with the NLRB after leaving the company, claiming they were dismissed because of their labor organizing efforts.
NLRB did not immediately respond to&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

Why It Matters: This development comes as Apple faces challenges in China, where smartphone sales showed promising signs in February with foreign-branded phone <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/04/44588577/apple-stock-a-buy-on-revenue-durability-visibility-analyst-highlights-china-smartphone-sales-up-in-february">shipments up 9% year-over-year</a>, according to Goldman Sachs analyst Michael Ng, who maintains a Buy rating on Apple with a $294 price target.
The halting of these labor cases coincides with broader market uncertainty as investors await Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; tariff announcements. Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives has warned that potential Chinese retaliation to new tariffs could disrupt tech supply chains, particularly affecting companies like Apple that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44598088/trumps-liberation-day-creates-major-uncertainty-for-big-tech-analyst-dan-ives-says">rely heavily on Asian manufacturing</a>.
Apple has denied wrongdoing in the labor cases, stating it has &#8220;always respected our employees&#8217; rights to discuss their wages, hours and working conditions,&#8221; according to the report. 
Apple stock is in a negative short- and medium-term price trend, but the iPhone maker maintains strong momentum despite a weak valuation, according to Benzinga Edge Stock Ranking. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Sign up for in-depth insights</a>.

Apple Labor Cases Frozen By NLRB After Trump Nominates Company's Attorney As General Counsel: Report

A silly-sounding memecoin poking fun at President Donald Trump and tech mogul Elon Musk blasted off Tuesday, dwarfing gains in mainstream coins.
What happened: Elon Trump Fart (ETF500) surged 52% in the last 24 hours, reaching levels not seen in over five weeks.&nbsp;
The Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>)-based coin's trading volume surpassed $1 million after an 87% jump, while its market capitalization hit $8.75 million.
In comparison, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) mustered modest gains of 2.27% and 2.39%, respectively.&nbsp;

Polymarket Bettors Think It&#8217;s Unlikely</a>
The memecoin is a derivative project of the over $500 million-valued Fartcoin (FARTCOIN), which was also one of the day&#8217;s top gainers.
According to CoinGecko, ETF500 was created in response to an X post referencing a potential Fartcoin ETF by Douglas A. Boneparth, president at Bona Fide Wealth.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">A client just called and asked me if there's going to be a Fartcoin ETF this year. Have a great weekend.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
The coin soared to a high of $0.04341 after its launch in January but has since plummeted nearly 80%.&nbsp;
Price Action:&nbsp; At the time of writing, ETF500 was exchanging hands at $0.008577, up 52% in the last 24 hours, <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/elon-trump-fart">according </a>to CoinGecko. Year-to-date, the cryptocurrency has gained 20%.
Benzinga Note: Investing in meme coins and cryptocurrencies is highly speculative and involves significant risk. Meme coins often lack intrinsic value and are driven by market sentiment, social media trends, and speculative trading.

Fartcoin Offshoot Mocking Trump, Musk Shoots Up 52%—What In The World Is Going On?

Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) is reportedly gearing up to release an over $1,000 version of its smart glasses to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39449125/apple-glass-potential-competitor-to-ray-ban-meta-smart-glasses-may-take-longer-to-develop-report">further challenge</a> Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) AR ambitions.
What Happened: The new version of Meta's smart glasses will come with a built-in screen, hand-gesture controls, and a price tag ranging from $1,000 to $1,400, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-01/how-meta-s-upcoming-1000-smart-glasses-with-a-screen-will-work">reported</a> Bloomberg, citing sources familiar with the matter.
The device, code-named Hypernova, could feature a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42659936/meta-plans-display-equipped-ray-ban-glasses-by-2025-aiming-to-replace-smartphones">monocular display</a> in the lower-right quadrant of the right lens.
They are expected to offer an immersive AR experience that goes beyond the company's current Ray-Ban Meta Glasses, which start at $299. Last year, it was reported that&nbsp;Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses have become the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41458752/metas-smart-glasses-dominate-ray-ban-stores-ai-features-still-missing">best-selling item in 60%</a> of Ray-Ban stores across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA).

Why It Matters: Previously, it was reported that Apple might be considering a new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39747111/apples-vision-pro-struggles-to-find-its-killer-app-to-justify-3-500-price-tag-just-not-quite-hit-the">lightweight glasses design</a> following the lukewarm response to its first-generation mixed reality headset, Vision Pro.
Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) subsidiary Google is also reportedly in the final stages of negotiations to acquire AdHawk Microsystems Inc. as part of its <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44267530/while-apple-reportedly-mulls-over-ar-glasses-google-bets-big-on-eye-tracking-tech-with-115-million-adhawk-acquisition-report">renewed focus on headsets</a> and smart glasses.
Subscribe to the&nbsp;<a href="https://bztechtrends.beehiiv.com/subscribe" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter</a>&nbsp;to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
The steep price hike for Meta's new model Hypernova is primarily due to the screen, the report noted.
While giving his review of Vision Pro in February 2024, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted that Apple's headset <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/02/37116135/mark-zuckerberg-finally-tries-apples-vision-pro-and-says-metas-quest-3-is-the-better-produc">offers a higher screen resolution</a> than Quest. However, he also expressed surprise at the compromises made in device quality, comfort, and ergonomics to achieve it.
Price Action: Meta stock closed 1.67% higher at $586 on Tuesday. However, year-to-date, the company&#8217;s shares have dropped 2.21%, <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">according to Benzinga Pro</a>.

Analyst Notes: Popular blockchain analytics firm CryptoQuant drew attention to the sharp decline in selling pressure by the cohort holding Bitcoin for over a month but less than three months.
"These holders, who form an essential part of short-term investors, appear to show reduced activity in the market after taking profits from their short-term trades of 1-3 months," CryptoQuant said.&nbsp;

Deepwater Asset Management&#8216;s Gene Munster is bracing for disappointing Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) delivery numbers when the electric vehicle maker reports first-quarter figures on Wednesday, warning investors that the coming months could be even more challenging.
What Happened: &#8220;The March number is likely going to be ugly. The June will likely be worse. Then things begin to slowly improve,&#8221; Munster wrote Tuesday on X, signaling a dramatic reversal for a company that once projected 20-30% growth.
The Tesla bull anticipates first-quarter deliveries around 355,000 units, down approximately 8% year-over-year, significantly below analyst consensus estimates of 377,592. His projection aligns with prediction markets, where Kalshi traders give only a 56% probability of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/previews/25/04/44593138/tesla-q1-deliveries-preview-analysts-forecast-377k-but-kalshi-traders-predict-a-miss">Tesla exceeding 350,000 deliveries</a>.

&#8220;I feel 35% less wealthy over the past few months since the Tesla numbers started to come down,&#8221; Munster told CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Closing Bell,&#8221; characterizing 2025 as a &#8220;throwaway year&#8221; for the automaker.

Why It Matters: Despite the near-term pessimism, Munster maintains his long-term optimism, citing Tesla&#8217;s &#8220;physical AI&#8221; competitive advantage through initiatives like Optimus robots and robotaxis. &#8220;Ultimately, I think investors are going to get behind that,&#8221; he said, noting Tesla&#8217;s $37 billion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43321103/tesla-q4-earnings-highlights-revenue-miss-eps-miss-ev-updates-automaker-says-2025-will-be-a-seminal-year">cash position provides ample runway</a>.
The anticipated delivery decline comes amid concerns about CEO Elon Musk&#8216;s increasing political involvement affecting brand perception. A recent Benzinga poll revealed 53% of respondents would &#8220;never own a Tesla,&#8221; highlighting potential demand challenges as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/previews/25/04/44593138/tesla-q1-deliveries-preview-analysts-forecast-377k-but-kalshi-traders-predict-a-miss">company looks toward recovery later this year</a>.
Price Action: Tesla Inc. closed at $268.46 on Tuesday, up 3.59% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock dipped 0.14% to $268.08. Year to date, Tesla&#8217;s stock has declined by 29.22%.
Tesla stock has shown strong momentum compared to rivals Nio Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>) and Lucid Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LCID#NASDAQ">LCID</a>). However, it lags behind Rivian Automotive Inc.

Sun Communities' dividend yield is 2.93%. It paid $3.82 per share in dividends during the last 12 months.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Latest On Sun Communities</h2>
On Feb. 26, the company announced its Q4 2024 earnings, posting FFO of $1.41, missing the consensus estimate of $1.42, while revenues of $745.90 million came in above the consensus of $722.18 million, as reported by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43991984/sun-communities-q4-2024-ffo-1-41-misses-1-42-estimate-sales-745-90m-beat-722-18m-estimate">Benzinga</a>.
The company provided its full-year 2025 guidance, expecting core FFO per share in the range of $4.81 to $5.05.
Check out this <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/analyst-ratings/25/03/44236474/what-4-analyst-ratings-have-to-say-about-sun-communities">article by Benzinga</a> for four analysts' insights on Sun Communities.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Can You Earn $100 Per Month As A Sun Communities Investor?</h2>
If you want to make $100 per month — $1,200 annually — from Sun Communities dividends, your investment value needs to be approximately $40,956, which is around 314 shares at $130.25 each.&nbsp;
Understanding the dividend yield calculations: When making an estimate, you need two key variables — the desired annual income ($1,200) and the dividend yield (2.93% in this case). So, $1,200 / 0.0293 = $40,956 to generate an income of $100 per month.
You can calculate the dividend yield by dividing the annual dividend payments by the current price of the stock.
The dividend yield can change over time. This is the outcome of fluctuating stock prices and dividend payments on a rolling basis.
See Also: This platform is reshaping how you invest in private companies — <a href="https://benzingapartners.go2cloud.org/aff_c?offer_id=561&amp;aff_id=1">and you can be a part of it for $0.18 per share</a>.
For instance, assume a stock that pays $2 as an annual dividend is priced at $50. Its dividend yield would be $2/$50 = 4%. If the stock price rises to $60, the dividend yield drops to 3.33% ($2/$60). A drop in stock price to $40 will have an inverse effect and increase the dividend yield to 5% ($2/$40).
In summary, income-focused investors may find Sun Communities stock an attractive option for making a steady income of $100 per month by owning 314 shares of stock. There may be more upside to come as investors benefit from the company's consistent dividend hikes. Sun Communities has raised its dividend consecutively for the last eight years.&nbsp;

Here's How You Can Earn $100 In Passive Income By Investing In Sun Communities Stock

On Tuesday, former Vice President Kamala Harris expressed her admiration for Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) following his extensive speech in the Senate. Harris highlighted Booker&#8217;s dedication to amplifying the voices of Americans affected by the current administration&#8217;s policies. She emphasized the importance of leadership that uplifts others rather than oppressing them.
What Happened: In a post, Harris stated, &#8220;The true measure of a leader is not based on who you beat down but on who you lift up.&#8221; She acknowledged Booker&#8217;s efforts, saying, &#8220;For over 24 hours, my friend @CoryBooker stood on the floor of the Senate and lifted up the voices of the American people harmed by the current administration.&#8221;
Harris concluded her message by urging continued efforts to uphold American values, thanking Booker for his leadership. The tweet was posted on March 31, 2025, a Monday.

Booker made history Tuesday by delivering the longest speech in Senate history, speaking for over 24 hours in protest of President Donald Trump's administration, <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/01/cory-booker-record-breaking-senate-speech-00265142">reported</a> Politico. The New Jersey Democrat began his speech Monday evening, vowing to disrupt Senate proceedings &#8220;as long as I am physically able.&#8221; By Tuesday night, he had surpassed the previous record set by segregationist Sen. Strom Thurmond (R-S.C.) in 1957. Reflecting on the contrast, Booker remarked, "Maybe my ego got caught up that maybe, just maybe, I could break this record of the man who tried to stop the rights upon which I stand."
Booker's speech, bolstered by support from fellow Democrats, touched on a range of issues, including Medicaid cuts, tariffs, and Trump&#8217;s foreign policy stance on NATO and Russia. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) praised him for his &#8220;strength, fortitude, and clarity,&#8221; while Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) highlighted the stark difference between Booker's speech and Thurmond's filibuster against civil rights.

Why It Matters: Harris&#8217;s comments come at a time when political tensions are high, with JD Vance, the current Vice President, facing <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44450678/jd-vances-poll-numbers-at-all-time-low-for-a-new-vp-breaking-kamala-harris-record">historically low approval</a> ratings. According to a recent Benzinga report, Vance&#8217;s ratings are lower than any previous vice president, including Harris herself.
Harris&#8217;s call for unity and resilience echoes her previous statements, such as those made during her concession speech at Howard University. In that speech, she urged her supporters to remain hopeful and committed to democratic values, even in the face of electoral defeat. This message of perseverance is consistent with her praise for Booker&#8217;s recent actions in the Senate.
Harris&#8217;s post comes amid ongoing political discourse surrounding the administration&#8217;s policies, as seen in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44591525/wall-street-inches-up-ahead-of-tariff-day-whats-driving-markets-tuesday">anticipation of new tariff plans</a> that could impact the economy. Wall Street is closely monitoring these developments, which could have significant implications for American businesses and consumers.

NBA great and businessman Magic Johnson believes wealth grows when entrepreneurs invest in their communities, rather than focusing solely on personal gain. In an <a href="https://www.latimes.com/style/la-mag-nov302008-magicjohnson-story.html">interview with the Los Angeles Times</a> in November 2008, he emphasized how creating jobs and opportunities in underserved areas fuels long-term success.

Here's How Much $1000 Invested In Illumina 20 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

Two prominent political figures have joined decentralized social media platform Bluesky, moves that coincided with helping to promote the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/03/44555540/elon-musk-sparks-legal-showdown-with-1-million-voter-payouts-in-wisconsin-defying-court-battle">Wisconsin Supreme Court election</a> that has been of interest to Elon Musk.
What Happened: Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and former President Barack Obama are the latest political figures to join Bluesky, a social media platform that has gained followers since <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42867967/elon-musks-x-rival-bluesky-is-being-valued-at-700-million-after-explosive-growth-post-trumps-victory-report">the 2024 election.</a>
Clinton used her first post to discuss the Wisconsin Supreme Court election.
"Hi BlueSky. It's Hillary. I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought," Clinton <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/hillaryclinton.bsky.social/post/3lloznbrxks2f">posted</a>.
This high-stakes race for an open seat on Wisconsin's Supreme Court has captured national attention as a battleground for President Donald Trump's agenda. Billionaire Elon Musk and his allies are pouring record sums into supporting Brad Schimel, a Waukesha County judge and former Wisconsin attorney general. Schimel is up against Susan Crawford, a Dane County judge backed by Democrats. With the majority control of the court hanging in the balance, the outcome could shape key rulings on abortion rights and redistricting in this pivotal swing state, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/elections/results/2025/04/01/wisconsin-supreme-court/">stated</a> the Washington Post.
Clinton's post about the race came after Obama recently joined the social media platform, where his first post was to celebrate the anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.
"Figured I'd hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. With everything going on right now — it's easy to feel like regular folks can't make a difference — but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress," Obama <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/barackobama.bsky.social/post/3ll2cs2g4tk27">posted</a>.
Obama also posted about the Wisconsin election after his first post.
Musk has spent more than $20 million on the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, according to a TechCrunch <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/03/31/hillary-clinton-joins-bluesky/">report</a>.
Bluesky has around 33 million users, according to the report.

Top Bluesky Accounts: The addition of Obama and Clinton could give top-followed accounts on Bluesky a run for their money.
Obama is the second most-followed account on X, after previously holding the title of most-followed before he was overtaken <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/03/31466470/elon-musk-now-the-most-followed-person-on-twitter-too-late-to-say-sorry-thanks-obama">by Musk in 2023.</a>
The former president has 130.5 million followers on X, trailing Musk's 219.9 million to rank second.
On Bluesky, Obama has 338.2 thousand followers, a strong start since his recent join. Clinton has 202.5 thousand followers since joining the platform.
Here are the current top 10 most-followed accounts on <a href="https://vqv.app/">Bluesky</a>:
<ol>
<li>Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Ortez: 2.08 million</li>
<li>Mark Cuban: 1.46 million</li>
<li>George Takei: 1.25 million</li>
<li>Mark Hamill: 1.23 million</li>
<li>The Onion: 1.22 million</li>
<li>The New York Times: 1.13 million</li>
<li>Stephen King: 1.02 million</li>
<li>Rachel Maddow: 984,000</li>
<li>Meidas Touch: 960,000</li>
<li>Alt National Park Service: 844,000</li>
</ol>
Ocasio-Cortez remains the most-followed account. Back in December,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/12/42421291/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-aoc-hits-1-million-followers-with-top-bluesky-account-mark-cuban-gains-popularity-jack-dorsey-notably-absent"> Benzinga highlighted her lead</a> when she had 1.1 million followers. Cuban has jumped up to second place, after previously ranking outside the top three.
Many of the top followed accounts are Democrats or liberal voices, including some who have taken breaks or moved on from posting on X in the past. Musk&#8217;s ownership of X has prompted some to leave the platform or post less.
Obama currently ranks as the 82nd most followed Bluesky account, with Clinton ranking outside the top 500.
Over time, the two political figures are likely to gain large followings and move up the leaderboard.

$100 Invested In Old Republic Intl 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Shares of big tech companies, especially the Magnificent Seven, have dropped over the past six weeks as President Donald Trump's tariff agenda drove a wave of uncertainty through the market. 
Wedbush analyst Dan Ives pointed to two major concerns for tech investors ahead of Trump's "Liberation Day" tariff <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44575292/trump-to-target-dirty-15-countries-with-tariffs-which-countries-could-be-included">announcements expected Wednesday. </a>
Expert Ideas: Ives said the two biggest concerns for tech investors are a possible slowdown in AI spending amid the economic uncertainty and Beijing's potential retaliation to Trump's tariffs.&nbsp;
AI Spending Slowdown: Trump's tariff rollout threatens to inject caution into corporate spending, potentially delaying AI projects as businesses grapple with higher costs and economic uncertainty.

"In covering tech stocks and markets the last 25 years, we have seen some &#8216;fork in the road&#8217; political moments that have created major uncertainty for the markets&#8230;.and this Trump tariff announcement is up at the top of that list," Ives wrote. 
While AI adoption and investment remain robust, the near-term growth trajectory could stall if tariffs dampen demand and squeeze margins. 
The Wedbush analyst also noted tariffs are ultimately paid for by consumers and decreased consumer confidence and spending could weigh further on companies like Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>). 
China: Beijing's response to the tariffs is another wildcard for tech stocks, especially semiconductor supply chains which are "cemented" in Asia, Ives said.&nbsp;
Retaliatory measures could disrupt production of critical components of NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) chips and accelerate China's push for self-reliance.  
Relocating even a fraction of Asia's semiconductor infrastructure to the U.S. would take years and cost hundreds of billions, leaving tech exposed to prolonged volatility.&nbsp;
"It would take three-four years to move even 10% of the supply chain from Asia to the U.S. in our view and cost hundreds of billions along with major supply chain delays and challenges in between," Ives warned.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Lockheed Martin Stock In The Last 15 Years

Back in 2019, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44461713/elon-musk-said-youll-need-to-work-at-least-80-hours-a-week-to-make-an-impact-nobody-ever-changed?utm_campaign=partner_feed&amp;utm_source=aol&amp;utm_medium=partner_feed&amp;utm_content=site">Elon Musk was surprisingly upbeat</a> for a guy juggling rockets, cars, and a brain-chip startup. At a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/r-vbh3t7WVI?si=TEOP6EiMVCBcA3qg">Neuralink event at the California Academy of Sciences</a>, Musk made it clear—he wasn't buying into the whole "everything's terrible" narrative.
"Humanity can address a lot of the suffering that occurs in the world and make things a lot better," he said. "I think a lot of times people are quite sort of negative about the present and about the future, but really if you are a student of history, when else would you really want to be alive?"
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart &amp; Target – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">Many are rushing to grab 4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for just $0.26/share!</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-centennial">Jeff Bezos-Backed Arrived Homes Hits A Big Sale On Charlotte Property – Investors Earning A 34.7% Return</a></li>
</ul>
In Musk's eyes, now is actually the best time to be alive—yes, even with traffic, taxes, and inflation. "Those who think the past is better have not read enough history," he added.
Sure, the past had pyramids and the Renaissance, but it also had leech treatments and no Wi-Fi. Musk wasn't glamorizing a hyper-idealized future either—he was pointing out that progress is messy, but it's progress nonetheless.
Fast-forward to 2024, and Musk's optimism hasn't exactly dimmed—it just got a high-tech upgrade.
At the <a href="https://vivatechnology.com/media/press-releases/breaking-news-elon-musk-returns-to-vivatech-for-an-exclusive-q-and-a-session">VivaTech conference in Paris</a>, Musk dropped another headline-grabber: "In a benign scenario, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/05/39044740/probably-none-of-us-will-have-a-job-elon-musk-predicts-massive-job-losses-due-to-ai">probably none of us will have a job</a>." A little jarring, yes. But according to Musk, it's not all doom and robots. He sees a future where AI and automation handle most of the work, freeing humans to pursue hobbies and passions.
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
He wasn't suggesting mass layoffs or some grim, jobless wasteland. The point, he explained, is that <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/dont-think-were-going-choice-233043707.html">jobs might not be necessary in the way we know them</a>. With enough technological progress, "you can have a high-quality standard of living without needing to work."&nbsp;
In true Musk fashion, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44526637/elon-musk-says-ai-will-be-smarter-in-10-years-than-humans-who-will-have-a-much-higher-standard-of-living">he doubled down on hope</a>.
Earlier this month, during a <a href="https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1DXxyqnNoqbxM">company-wide Tesla meeting</a>, Musk thanked his team for being part of what he described as a handpicked group "destined to make history." He told employees across the globe: "What I'm here to tell you is that the future is incredibly bright and exciting, and we're going to do things that no one I think has even dreamed of."
Call it Musk's version of a halftime locker room speech—but for a team building the future. And with Tesla under scrutiny and investors wary of his side quests, the reassurance wasn't just motivational fluff. It was strategy.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/elon-musk-told-the-u-n-if-they-could-show-a-plan-for-ending-world-hunger-hed-donate-6-billion-i-will-sell-tesla-stock-right-now-and-do-it">Elon Musk Told The U.N. If They Could Show A Plan For Ending World Hunger He'd Donate $6 Billion – ‘I Will Sell Tesla Stock Right Now And Do It'</a>
Wedbush analyst and longtime Tesla bull Dan Ives described it as much-needed "hand holding" for investors during what he called a "dark brand crisis tornado." Translation: Musk knew things were looking shaky and did what he does best—throw big vision at big problems.
So, where does that leave us?
Somewhere between "the past wasn't that great" and "the future might not require a resume." Musk is betting on a world that doesn't just survive disruption—it thrives on it. And while he's known for outlandish timelines and bold predictions, the core message hasn't really changed since 2019: stop doomscrolling and zoom out.
Things aren't perfect, but they've never been perfect. And if you ask Musk, now's still the best time to be alive—even if the robots are coming.

Elon Musk Says We're Living in the Best Time — And If You Disagree, You Probably Should Read a History Book: 'When Else Would You Want To Be Alive?'

Virtus Terranova U.S. Quality Momentum ETF

버투스 인베스트먼트 파트너스(Virtus Investment Partners)의 조 테라노바(Joe Terranova)는 팔란티어 테크놀로지스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>)가 현재 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/39693173/take-profits-on-top-ai-performers-citigroup-says-is-the-ai-sector-now-in-a-bubble">인공 지능(AI) 붐을</a> 주도할 수 있는 가장 좋은 방법 중 하나라고 믿고 있다.
주요 소식 (What To Know): 화요일 CNBC의 &#8220;패스트 머니 하프타임 리포트(Fast Money Halftime Report)&#8221;에서 테라노바는 팔란티어 주식이 저평가되어 있으며 이번 주 새로운 52주 최고치를 기록했음에도 불구하고 계속해서 관심을 끌지 못하고 있다고 말했다.
"내 생각에 팔란티어는 오늘날 시장에서 AI가 노출된 플레이 중 가장 크고 과소평가된 주식이다. 저는 개인적으로 그것을 소유하고 있다"고 테라노바가 말했다.
테라노바는 또한 자신의 모멘텀 펀드에 팔란티어 주식을 보유하고 있다. 이는 화요일 현재 약 1%의 비중으로 Virtus U.S. Quality Momentum ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JOET#NYSE">JOET</a>)에서 7번째로 큰 보유 종목이다. 이 펀드는 강력한 품질 펀더멘털과 긍정적인 기술 트렌드를 결합한 미국 상장 기업들에 대한 노출을 제공하는 것을 목표로 한다.
화요일 테라노바의 낙관적인 논평은 이 모멘텀 투자자가 지난주 팔란티어를 &#8220;AI 헤일로(후광)&#8221; 플레이로 강조한 이후에 나온 것이다.
팔란티어는 꽤 오랫동안 정부 계약에 상당한 노출을 해왔지만 비즈니스의 상업적 측면에서 성장이 실제로 시작되고 있다고 그는 말했다. 그는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/ai" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">AI</a>가 그러한 성장을 촉진하는 데 큰 역할을 하고 있다고 덧붙였다.
&#8220;[AI]가 구축되기 시작하면서 매출이 증가하고 있다. 이는 향후 분기에 더욱 구축될 것이다. 팔란티어는 실제로 어느 정도 마찰을 겪고 있는 소프트웨어 환경에서 강력한 모멘텀 이름이었다&#8221;고 지난주 이 프로그램에 출연하여 테라노바가 말했다.
테라노바는 혼자가 아니다. BofA 증권은 이달 초 미국 최고의 아이디어 상위 10개 목록에 팔란티어를 추가했다. AI 스토리가 하드웨어에서 소프트웨어로 전환되기 시작하면서 회사는 팔란티어 주가가 단기적으로 반등할 여지가 더 많다고 보고 있다.
이번 다가오는 실적 시즌은 연초부터 기술주 급등을 고려할 때 기대가 높을 것이기 때문에 더 넓은 시장의 궤적에서 큰 역할을 할 것이다.
팔란티어는 8월 초까지 실적을 보고할 예정이 없다. <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>의 추정에 따르면 분석가들은 이 회사가 6억 5,214만 달러의 매출과 주당 8센트의 이익을 보고할 것으로 기대하고 있다.
PLTR 주식 움직임: 올해 들어 팔란티어 주식은 대략 60% 상승했다. 벤징가 프로에 따르면 화요일 이 주식은 1.15% 하락한 27.39달러에 마감했다.
