Even though Kanye West and Kim Kardashian's relationship is a thing of the past, West&#8217;s investments in stocks for his ex-wife continue to thrive, significantly boosting her financial portfolio.
What Happened: Despite their high-profile divorce, West&#8217;s financial decisions continue to influence Kardashian&#8217;s wealth. According <a href="https://www.forbes.com/profile/kim-kardashian/">to</a> Forbes, her net worth currently stands at $1.7 billion.
Kanye made strategic stock investments on Kardashian's behalf before their separation, many of which have seen impressive returns.&nbsp;
In 2017, Kardashian revealed that her husband, West, gave her an extraordinary Christmas gift: stock worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in major companies like Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>), Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Adidas (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADDYY#OTC">ADDYY</a>).

If an investor had mirrored West's gift to Kardashian by investing $1,000 in each of these companies, here's how that portfolio would have performed:

Kanye West Once Gifted Kim Kardashian Stocks In Apple, Netflix, Amazon And Disney — And His Financial Foresight Continues To Benefit Her Wealth

FBI Director Kash Patel has refuted claims about the existence of videos from &#8220;Epstein Island.&#8221; This statement was made during an interview on &#8220;The Joe Rogan Experience,&#8221; contradicting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45828121/elon-musks-bombshell-about-donald-trump-in-epstein-docs-heres-the-truth-behind-the-claim">assertions made by Attorney General Pam Bondi.</a>
What Happened: Patel dismissed conspiracy theories regarding Epstein Island videos during his conversation with Rogan. 
Jeffrey Epstein&#8216;s private island has been the center of numerous allegations, where the late financier was accused of trafficking and assaulting women and underage girls. Bondi, on the other hand, has consistently claimed the existence of such videos.
Addressing Rogan&#8217;s inquiries about potential Epstein footage, Patel <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/4rOoJ6Egrf8K2IrywzwOMk">said</a>, "We're gonna give you everything we can, and people have to remember, we're not gonna re-victimize women. We're not going to put that shit back out there. It's not happening, because then he wins. Not doing it. You want to hate me for it, fine."&nbsp;
Patel confirmed that his team has reviewed all available material and is now deciding on the best way to release it. However, he warned that the footage may not live up to the expectations of conspiracy theorists.

When asked about the possibility of the videos being destroyed, Patel responded, &#8220;Remember, what we have pursuant&nbsp;to lawful search warrants and&nbsp;authorities from the case&#8230;&nbsp;that's what we had. If&nbsp;other people have other stuff,&nbsp;then they want to give&nbsp;it to us, bring it.&#8221;
This statement starkly contradicts Bondi&#8217;s previous claims of &#8220;tens of thousands of videos&#8221; of Epstein, some of which she described as &#8220;child porn&#8221;.
Why It Matters: This development adds a new twist to the ongoing Epstein case. The contrasting statements from Patel and Bondi raise questions about the evidence in the case and its potential impact on the ongoing investigations. 
The truth behind these videos, or lack thereof, could significantly influence public opinion and the course of the case.

FBI's Kash Patel Denies Existence of Epstein Island Videos: 'We're Gonna Give You Everything We Can, We're Not Gonna Re-Victimize Women'

Jonathan Mann, a non-fungible token (NFT) artist, has spun his taxing experience with cryptocurrency into a song. This follows a $3 million loss he suffered due to a market crash.
What Happened:&nbsp;Mann, who is recognized for his &#8220;Song A Day&#8221; project, recently released a track that narrates his financial misfortune. In a post on X, Mann shared that he made a whopping $3 million by selling his entire song catalog as NFTs. However, he lost it all during the collapse of the Terra ecosystem.
According to his post, on Jan. 1, 2022, Mann embarked on his crypto journey, selling 3,700 songs at $800 each. This earned him approximately $3 million in Ether (ETH). However, the value of ETH plummeted, leaving Mann and his wife uncertain about the right time to sell or the amount to sell. Adding&nbsp;to their woes, the US&nbsp;Internal Revenue Service (IRS) came&nbsp;knocking.
<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">6000 days. 6000 songs. A story that almost broke me: The $3 million I made and lost. My $1.1 million tax bill. The Autoglyph that saved me This is SONG A DAY #6000 &#x1f329;&#xFE0F;CRYPTO TAX NIGHTMARE&#x1f329;&#xFE0F; The journey continues below&#x1f447; <a href="https://t.co/ufUKNPiMIH">pic.twitter.com/ufUKNPiMIH</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Mann clarified that the earnings from his NFT sales are taxed as income, based on the ETH value at the time of receipt. This holds true even if the crypto asset&#8217;s value crashes later.

Consequently, despite the decrease in their $3 million worth of ETH, their tax bill remained unchanged.

<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">The story behind this song ended in March 2024, when I sold my Autoglyph and used the $1.1 million proceeds to pay my tax bill.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
In an attempt to&nbsp;avoid selling their crypto at&nbsp;a loss, Mann&nbsp;took out a loan through&nbsp;the Aave lending protocol,&nbsp;using some of the ETH&nbsp;as collateral. However, the market crash triggered a series&nbsp;of liquidations across the ecosystem,&nbsp;which included Mann&#8217;s loan, erasing 300 ETH.
After months of collaboration with his accountant, Mann found out that they owed $1,095,171.79 in taxes. To pay off the IRS bill, Mann sold a rare Autoglyph NFT for $1.1 million. Despite this financial blow, Mann continues his daily songwriting and selling them as NFTs.
Why It Matters:&nbsp;Mann&#8217;s experience underscores the volatility of the crypto market and the potential tax implications of trading in digital assets. 
It also highlights the risks associated with crypto-backed loans, particularly during market downturns. 
Despite his financial setback, Mann&#8217;s continued commitment to his craft and the NFT space demonstrates the resilience and adaptability of artists in the face of adversity.

If <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/retirement-planning-guide">your retirement account</a> took a small hit this past quarter, you're not alone — but you may not need to worry. Market ups and downs have led to a dip in retirement balances for many Americans, but overall savings habits remain strong.
Fidelity's latest quarterly retirement <a href="https://www.fidelity.com/about-fidelity/Q1-2025-retirement-analysis">report</a> — based on data from over 50 million retirement accounts — shows that average balances in 401(k), IRA, and 403(b) accounts declined slightly in Q1 2025. For example, the average 401(k) balance dropped to around $122,000, down from about $127,000 at the end of last year. The same trend showed up in IRAs and 403(b)s as well. The cause? Mostly short-term market volatility.
The encouraging news is that people are still saving at solid rates. In fact, the average <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/average-401k-balance-by-age">401(k) savings rate</a> hit a new high of 14.3%, and 403(b) savers held steady at 11.8%. That tells us that, despite the market noise, most people are staying focused on their long-term goals and continuing to contribute to their retirement plans.
This kind of consistency matters. Retirement planning is a long game, and these dips are a normal part of the process. Even with this quarter's decline, account balances remain significantly higher than they were five years ago — a reminder that riding out the market's ups and downs can pay off over time.
So what's the takeaway? Yes, balances were down a bit this quarter, but the fundamentals are strong. Savers are still putting money away, and they're doing so at record levels. If you're sticking to your plan, making regular contributions, and staying invested, you're likely in good shape.
In short, the market may wobble — but retirement savers aren't panicking. They're playing the long game, and that's often the smartest move.

Retirement Savers Aren't Backing Down Despite Market Swings

In the latest development in their public feud, Elon Musk has taken down a series of social media posts that were critical of President Donald Trump.
What Happened: On Saturday, Musk deleted several posts from his social media account, which boasts a following of 200 million users. These posts, which ignited a public feud with Trump on Thursday, included allegations of Trump&#8217;s involvement in the Epstein files and calls for his impeachment.
One of the now-erased posts read, &#8220;@realDonaldTrump&nbsp;is in the Epstein files.&nbsp;That is the real reason&nbsp;they have not been made&nbsp;public. Have a nice day,&nbsp;DJT!&#8221; A link to this post now leads to a non-existent page.
While Musk has not provided a reason for the deletions, he did mention that he would &#8220;apologize profusely as soon as&nbsp;there is a full dump&nbsp;of the Epstein files.&#8221;
Despite the removal of several posts, a post criticizing Trump&#8217;s tariffs remained visible on Musk&#8217;s timeline on Saturday afternoon. Musk predicted, &#8220;The&nbsp;Trump tariffs will cause a&nbsp;recession in the second half&nbsp;of this year.&#8221;

The deletions occurred as Trump warned Musk of &#8220;very serious consequences&#8221; if he supports Democrats in the upcoming midterms, as&nbsp;reported by NBC News on&nbsp;Saturday. 
Trump also ruled out the possibility of repairing his relationship with Musk.
Why It Matters: The public feud and subsequent social media scrubbing by Musk adds another layer to the complex relationship between the Tesla CEO and the President. 
This incident may have implications for Tesla&#8217;s relationship with the government and its policies, especially considering Musk&#8217;s outspoken criticism of Trump&#8217;s tariffs. 
The situation also raises questions about the role and influence of high-profile CEOs in political discourse.

Elon Musk Scrubs His Social Media of Trump-Related Posts Amid Public Feud

The escalating public feud between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump has prompted a response from billionaire investor Mark Cuban.
What Happened: Cuban&#8217;s comment came during a brief exchange with TheStreet Roundtable on Friday. When asked about the Musk-Trump spat, Cuban simply <a href="https://roundtable.rtb.io/">replied</a>, &#8220;All I'll say is that I bought a bunch of popcorn.&#8221;
The feud between Musk and Trump intensified this week after Musk publicly criticized Trump&#8217;s administration over the &#8220;One Big Beautiful Bill.&#8221;
In response,&nbsp;Trump threatened to terminate billions&nbsp;in government contracts with Musk&#8217;s companies, including&nbsp;SpaceX&nbsp;and&nbsp;Tesla Inc.
Musk further escalated the situation with a shocking social media post claiming that&nbsp;Trump is in the Epstein&nbsp;files. 
This revelation&nbsp;sent shockwaves across social media&nbsp;and markets, causing Tesla shares to drop by 14% and&nbsp;DJT, the stock tied to&nbsp;Trump&#8217;s media company, to fall over 8%. Bitcoin also saw a near 4% slip.

Despite the significant influence&nbsp;both Trump and Musk have&nbsp;in the crypto and tech&nbsp;markets, this public fallout&nbsp;has caught even their closest&nbsp;allies by surprise.
Why It Matters: The feud between these two influential figures has the potential to impact not only their personal reputations but also the companies they represent. Musk&#8217;s Tesla and SpaceX, as well as Trump&#8217;s media company, are all at risk of financial repercussions due to this public spat. 
The significant drop in Tesla&#8217;s shares and DJT stock following Musk&#8217;s controversial social media post is a clear indication of the potential damage such public feuds can cause. 
Furthermore, the ripple effect on Bitcoin&#8217;s value shows that the influence of these two figures extends beyond their respective companies and into the broader market. 
As the feud continues to unfold, investors and market watchers will be keeping a close eye on the potential fallout.

Applied Digital And Riot Platforms Are Among Top 10 Mid-Cap Gainers Last Week (Jun 2-Jun 6): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

After a tragic loss and a long legal battle, a woman named Ashley called into &#8220;<a href="https://x.com/DaveRamsey/status/1930294900915937679">The Ramsey Show</a>&#8221; to ask what to do about a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/45783524/im-afraid-how-my-wife-will-react-if-i-tell-her-were-secretly-wealthy-says-a-dave-ramsey-caller-the-response-thats-pretty-whacked">major disagreement</a> with her long-time partner.&nbsp;
Two years ago, Ashley lost her baby due to what she said was &#8220;malpractice, mal negligence,&#8221; and after legal fees, she&#8217;s now receiving a little over half a million dollars from the $850,000 settlement.

</ul>
Ashley has been with her partner for a decade and they share three living children. Despite the length of the relationship and the family they've built, they're not married.&nbsp;
When asked why, Ashley admitted, &#8220;I&#8217;m not sure. That&#8217;s another problem that we&#8217;re having.&#8221; She said the reason they haven&#8217;t tied the knot is mostly on him: &#8220;He pretty much says like, we already are married, just not like in the books type of deal.&#8221;
That same partner now claims he deserves the majority of Ashley&#8217;s settlement money. His reasoning? &#8220;Because he provides daily,&#8221; Ashley explained, adding that he thinks that entitles him to a large portion of the money. But Ashley doesn't agree. She wants to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/long-term-investments-vs-short-term">invest the money long term</a> for her children and for retirement.
&#8220;I also suffered blood damages to my personal body during that time of losing the baby,&#8221; she added, making it clear the pain and trauma were hers to carry.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">&#8216;It&#8217;s Not His Money&#8217;</h2>
Dave Ramsey responded directly and firmly. &#8220;This argument and this confusion is brought on by the fact that you&#8217;re not married,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know how to coach you because I would never tell you to be where you are.&#8221;
Ramsey made it known that the money belongs to her. &#8220;I think it&#8217;s yours. I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s got his name on it.&#8221;
Co-host Rachel Cruze agreed, calling the partner's behavior unhealthy. &#8220;That was like another [problem] guilt tripping me into &#8216;give me this because I do this,&#8217; which really isn&#8217;t fair,&#8221; Ashley said. Cruze called it &#8220;a scorekeeping thing and very, very, very unhealthy.&#8221;
Ramsey put it plainly: &#8220;There is not a scenario where we&#8217;re not married and you get any of this.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Relationship May Not Be Healthy</h2>
Ashley admitted the relationship isn&#8217;t in a good place. Ramsey pointed out that the situation is revealing deeper problems. &#8220;You really need to look at this. It&#8217;s not working,&#8221; he told her.
Instead of sharing the money now, Ramsey encouraged Ashley to insist on counseling and have serious conversations about the future: &#8220;Sit down with a good marriage counselor and talk about how our relationship can be made better and how we get married. In the process of talking about that, honey, we&#8217;ll discuss when we&#8217;re married what we will do with our half million dollars.&#8221;

Cruze warned Ashley not to let marriage become a strategy for access to the money. &#8220;Make sure, though&#8230; that he doesn&#8217;t turn on some weird manipulative switch suddenly and be like, well, that&#8217;s my ticket into some of this money if I just marry her.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Legal Confusion Over Their Deceased Son&#8217;s Estate</h2>
Ashley said a lawyer told her partner he had some right to the money because part of it is being set aside in their deceased son's estate. Ramsey quickly clarified: &#8220;Your son&#8217;s estate has to be managed for the heirs of your son,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Which would be his siblings, not his father.&#8221;
In closing, Ramsey warned Ashley: &#8220;If you give him a big chunk of this money out of this, I predict this is going to go sideways for you,&#8221; to which she agreed.

After Losing Her Baby And Receiving A $850K Settlement, The Father Of Her Children—Who Refuses To Marry Her—Says He's Entitled To The Money

President Donald Trump has been&nbsp;reportedly referring to Elon Musk as a &#8220;big-time drug addict&#8221; in private conversations. This comes amidst an escalating fallout between the two high-profile figures.
What Happened: A recent&nbsp;report&nbsp;by The Washington Post reveals that Trump has been privately expressing his belief to allies that Musk is heavily involved with drugs. This follows a series of incidents that have led to the deterioration of their previously strong alliance.
The relationship between Trump and Musk is nearing collapse after Musk&#8217;s chosen leader for NASA, Jared Isaacman, made donations to the Democrats, which allegedly infuriated Trump.
The <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/06/07/trump-elon-musk-fight-behind-scenes/">outlet</a> also reported that Musk&#8217;s strained relations with Trump&#8217;s cabinet members and his alleged drug use have been sources of internal turmoil. Trump&#8217;s belief that Musk was using drugs triggered&nbsp;numerous private calls on the&nbsp;matter.
Trump was reportedly disturbed by Musk&#8217;s criticisms of his budget bill and was taken aback when Musk&nbsp;echoed impeachment rhetoric about him&nbsp;on social media. 
In response, Trump has been reaching out to confidants and acquaintances to manage the high-profile split.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45828246/trump-warns-musk-against-aiding-democrats-hell-have-to-pay-serious-consequences-if-he-does-that">Trump Warns Musk Against Aiding Democrats: &#8216;He&#8217;ll Have To Pay Serious Consequences If He Does That&#8217;</a>
An individual&nbsp;with knowledge of the calls&nbsp;told the Post that Trump&nbsp;had referred to Musk as an &#8220;addict&#8221;. In at least one call, Trump labeled Musk as a &#8220;big-time drug addict&#8221;.
Despite the fallout, Trump has&nbsp;reportedly urged Vice President JD&nbsp;Vance and others not to&nbsp;escalate tensions with Musk. 
Trump has also privately considered investigating Musk&#8217;s government contracts after Musk alleged that&nbsp;Trump was the reason documents&nbsp;related to&nbsp;Jeffrey Epstein had not been&nbsp;released.
"President Trump and the entire Administration will continue the important mission of cutting waste, fraud, and abuse from our federal government on behalf of taxpayers, and the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill is critical to helping accomplish that mission," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt recently said in a statement.
Why It Matters: The escalating fallout between Trump and Musk, two influential figures, could have significant implications. 
Musk&#8217;s SpaceX has been a key player in the US space industry, and any investigation into Musk&#8217;s government contracts could potentially impact the company&#8217;s operations. 
Moreover, the strained relationship could also influence political dynamics given Musk&#8217;s influence and the upcoming elections.

Trump Allegedly Calling People To Claim Elon Musk Has Serious Drug Problem: 'Big-Time Drug Addict'

The past week has been a rollercoaster ride in the world of tech and finance. From billionaire investor Chamath Palihapitiya making bold predictions of autonomous vehicles to the escalating feud between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump, there&#8217;s a lot to unpack.
Let&#8217;s dive into the top stories of the week.
Palihapitiya&#8217;s Bold Predictions
Billionaire investor Chamath Palihapitiya made some bold predictions about autonomous vehicles. He believes that Tesla&#8217;s Robotaxi and Alphabet&#8217;s Waymo will dominate the autonomous vehicle market, potentially sidelining ride-hailing giants Uber and Lyft. Palihapitiya argues that consumer preference for driverless rides stems from privacy concerns rather than just cost considerations.

Musk Vs Trump: Tesla&#8217;s Record Crash
Tesla suffered a record $152 billion market cap loss this week, following an escalated feud between CEO Elon Musk and President Donald Trump. The company&#8217;s stock traded down 14.3% to $284.70 on Thursday, marking the company&#8217;s second-biggest percentage loss in more than a year and the biggest market cap loss in company history.

Musk Dismisses SpaceX Valuation
Elon Musk has dismissed a report that valued SpaceX at $480 billion, calling it "too high" for where the company is at present. In a separate post, the billionaire said that the company will reach an important revenue milestone in 2026.

Peter Thiel&#8217;s Flying Car Dream Nears Reality
Venture capitalist Joe Lonsdale is sounding the alarm on Chinese competition in the flying car sector while showcasing American innovation through Joby Aviation.

Boeing&#8217;s Starliner Flight Delayed To 2026
Boeing&#8217;s Starliner spacecraft, which was expected to make its next mission to the International Space Station (ISS) by the end of this year, has been delayed until 2026. The Starliner is seen as a potential alternative to SpaceX&#8217;s Dragon spacecraft. NASA, however, is still deciding whether the upcoming flight will carry astronauts or only cargo.

Microsoft And Openai's Free AI Video Generator, Amazon's Agentic AI Group, And More: This Week In AI

Moonhub<a href="https://www.moonhub.ai/moonhub-team-joins-salesforce"> announced</a> Monday that it has bewen acquired by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45737436/why-salesforce-is-paying-8-billion-for-the-plumbing-of-ai">Salesforce</a> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>), marking a new chapter for the AI-powered recruiting startup founded by former Meta (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) engineer Nancy Xu.
The move comes on the heels of Salesforce's recent $8 billion acquisition of Informatica and signals a clear acceleration of its AI-first product strategy,<a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/tech/artificial-intelligence/salesforce-acquires-ai-recruiting-startup-moonhub-weeks-after-informatica-deal/articleshow/121590582.cms"> The Economic Times</a> reports.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Moonhub Built a Holistic, Bias-Conscious Approach to AI Hiring</h2>
Founded in 2022 and backed by Khosla Ventures, TIME Ventures, Day One Ventures, AIX Ventures, GV, and Salesforce, Moonhub is known for launching the world's first AI Recruiter, and developed tools to automate hiring processes while minimizing bias. According to The Economic Times, rather than relying on outdated keyword-based filters, the company's AI platform scanned public data sources such as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/40061358/satya-nadella-says-microsofts-copilot-drives-40-of-githubs-revenue-growth-we-are-also-enabling-anyon">GitHub</a>, LinkedIn, and personal websites to build rich, multi-dimensional candidate profiles.

</ul>
The system was designed to detect meaningful patterns, like promotion frequency, project types, and skill progression, which are often overlooked by traditional recruiting tools. One of Moonhub's core principles was avoiding filters based on race, gender, or disability. Instead, it worked closely with clients to reshape how job descriptions were written and how talent was sourced, The Economic Times reports.
Nancy Xu frequently emphasized the importance of a &#8220;human-in-the-loop&#8221; approach, where final hiring decisions stayed in human hands, The Economic Times says. According to Xu, AI should not replace people in recruitment but support them in making more informed, fair decisions.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Moonhub Joins Salesforce Amid AI Investment Surge</h2>
Moonhub's integration into Salesforce follows a string of AI-focused acquisitions. In addition to the Informatica purchase, Salesforce recently<a href="https://www.salesforceben.com/salesforce-acquires-ai-company-convergence-ai-to-advance-agentforce/"> announced</a> it would acquire Converge.ai, an automation startup, as part of its broader AI strategy. These moves are meant to fuel the Salesforce's Agentforce platform, an initiative focused on developing autonomous AI agents to streamline enterprise operations in areas like sales, customer service, and now hiring.

Moonhub said that joining Salesforce will allow its team to scale its original mission within a much larger ecosystem. Xu in a statement described Salesforce as a values-aligned company with deep investment in trust and impactful AI advancement, both key to the responsible deployment of AI.
While Moonhub is officially winding down as a standalone entity, its core team will now contribute directly to Salesforce's product development in AI-driven recruitment and talent acquisition. According to Salesforce&#8217;s <a href="https://www.salesforceben.com/salesforce-picks-up-talent-from-closing-ai-startup-moonhub/">announcement</a> on Tuesday, their work is expected to be integrated into new iterations of Agentforce tools and services.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Strategic Talent, Legacy Investors, And A Strong Signal</h2>
Moonhub raised $14.4 million in venture funding and attracted top-tier investors across Silicon Valley, The Economic Times reports. According to Salesforce, the company is competing head-to-head with tech giants like Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Alphabet's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>, GOOGL)) Google, and OpenAI in the race to dominate enterprise AI.
The integration of Moonhub's team reflects a growing trend among major players: securing specialized talent through strategic acquisitions. As the demand for enterprise-ready AI accelerates, the battle to attract top minds is becoming just as critical as the technology itself.

Walmart, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) the world's largest retailer, faces challenges in maintaining its signature low prices after President Donald Trump's administration imposed steep tariffs on Chinese imports. Walmart employees and shoppers now report price hikes hitting the shelves <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/retail-sales/25/06/45712543/us-tariff-impact-prices-surge-at-walmart-and-target-employees-say-some-jumps-top-38">and their wallets</a>.
What To Know:&nbsp;Walmart employees have been sharing images on Reddit that depict a sharp rise in prices, with some items seeing a surge of up to 45%.&nbsp;
For example, a Jurassic World T. Rex toy at Walmart saw its price increase nearly 38% from $39.92 in late April to $55 in late May.. The price of a Baby Born doll shot up from $34.97 in March to $49.97 in May, an approximate increase of 43%.

Roughly 60% of Walmart's merchandise is sourced from China, including essentials like electronics, clothing and household goods, which leaves the retail giant vulnerable to shifts in trade policy.&nbsp;
Walmart CEO Doug McMillon warned on the company's most recent earnings call that the retailer would be forced to raise prices on some items as a direct result of ongoing tariffs, but that the company would work to keep grocery prices low.
What Else: Walmart said it will continue to communicate the impact of tariffs transparently and consistently with its investors, employees and consumers during its annual shareholders' meeting last week.&nbsp;
"We don't aim to be a political figure. We are providing facts as they come," Dan Bartlett, executive vice president of corporate affairs, told reporters.&nbsp;
The retail giant said it expects price increases to become more apparent as the year progressesif the current tariffs remain in place.&nbsp;

Walmart Shoppers See Sharp Price Hikes as Tariffs Hit Shelves

The past week was a whirlwind of economic news. From President Donald Trump&#8217;s aggressive trade deal deadline to Mark Cuban&#8217;s insights on inflation, the stories were as varied as they were impactful. Let&#8217;s dive into the details.
Trump&#8217;s Trade Deadline
President&nbsp;Donald Trump pushed for countries to submit their best trade negotiation, as his administration raced against a July 8 deadline. The U.S. is seeking proposals on tariff and quota offers for U.S. industrial and agricultural products, plans to remedy non-tariff barriers, digital trade and economic security commitments, and country-specific commitments.

Mark Cuban On Inflation
Billionaire investor&nbsp;Mark Cuban&nbsp;shared his thoughts on why inflation hasn&#8217;t surged as much as economists predicted in response to Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; tariffs. According to Cuban, businesses are using their cash reserves or taking on debt to stockpile inventory in anticipation of potential tariff hikes.
