Economist Peter Schiff is once again calling out President Donald Trump&#8217;s logic on trade and tariffs, arguing that the economic logic behind this stance does not hold up.
What Happened: On Saturday, Schiff posted on X in response to Trump&#8217;s warning to Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) not to increase prices due to the tariffs imposed by his administration.
Trump suggested that companies like Walmart should absorb the cost increases rather than pass them on to consumers. Schiff pushed back, saying, &#8220;Trump said Walmart should eat the tariffs. He might as well tell Walmart to eat its rent, wages, insurance, utilities, and all of its other costs too.&#8221;

Schiff, a long-time critic of protectionist trade policies, argued that higher consumer prices aren't a side effect of tariffs but a necessary feature of how they work. &#8220;If the goal of tariffs is to reduce our trade deficit, the only way that will happen is if Walmart and other importers raise their prices,&#8221; he said.
He added, &#8220;It's higher prices that will cause consumers to buy fewer imports, thus reducing the size of our trade deficits.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Several other eminent intellectuals have echoed similar concerns in recent weeks. Economist Justin Wolfers recently called <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45091467/trump-can-either-have-his-cake-or-eat-it-economist-justin-wolfers-calls-out-presidents-fundamental-incoherence-on-trade-deals-and-tariffs">Trump's tariff stance</a> &#8220;fundamentally incoherent,&#8221; pointing to shifting goalposts and an apparent attempt to have it both ways on taxes and trade policy.
Schiff has been a vocal critic of the tariffs for months, having said recently that the tariffs put &#8220;American Last&#8221; for investors, while <a href="https://benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44781938/trump-tariffs-have-put-america-last-for-investors-peter-schiff-warns-of-a-financial-crisis-worse-than-2008">warning of a financial crisis</a> worse than 2008, if they remained. 
Last week, Schiff warned that the only way to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45404821/dollar-correction-imminent-sans-tariffs-to-reduce-the-us-trade-deficit-says-peter-schiff-minor-decline-would-make-trade-deficit-larger">cut the U.S. trade deficit</a> is via either a significant decline in the value of the dollar or high tariffs, both of which will result in high inflation. 
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent mentioned on Friday, during an interview with NBC's&nbsp;Meet the Press with Kristen Welker, that he had spoken to Walmart&#8217;s CEO, Carl McMillon, and said that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45484954/treasury-secretary-bessent-addresses-moodys-downgrade-and-tariff-impact-n-walmart">retailer will absorb</a> some of the impacts from the tariffs, as it had done in prior inflationary periods.
&#8220;Walmart is, in fact, going to, as you describe it, eat some of the tariffs just as they did in '18, '19 and '20,&#8221; Bessent said.
Price Action: Walmart&#8217;s shares were up 1.96% on Friday, at $98.24, they are currently down 1.07% after hours, following Trump&#8217;s post over the weekend.

According to Benzinga&#8217;s Edge Stock Rankings, Walmart scores in the 90th percentile on Momentum and 80% percentile on quality. It also has a favorable price trend in the short, medium, and long terms.

Agilysys Gears Up For Q4 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

Arthur Hayes, Chief Investment Officer of&nbsp;Maelstrom&nbsp;and co-founder of&nbsp;BitMEX, anticipated Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) to approach $200,000 in its upcoming bull run, fueled by increased fiat liquidity, according to a Sunday report.
What Happened: During an <a href="https://fortune.com/crypto/2025/05/18/arthur-hayes-on-bitcoins-route-to-200000-holding-gold-and-why-hated-ethereum-is-due-for-a-comeback/">interview </a>with Forbes, Hayes expressed confidence about Bitcoin&#8217;s continued dominance, which would eventually spark an altcoin season. He estimates Bitcoin to go close to $200,000 and eventually hit $250,000 by year-end. 
Hayes linked this potential surge to the government&#8217;s need to borrow more funds, which would increase liquidity in the market.
&#8220;I believe that the U.S. government has to borrow more money than what we think, and therefore, [Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent] will have to issue more debt,&#8221; Hayes said. &#8220;That means that there's more dollars floating around in the world because the US government is spending more money on stuff.&#8221;
It&#8217;s worth highlighting that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45484954/treasury-secretary-bessent-addresses-moodys-downgrade-and-tariff-impact-n-walmart">Moody&#8217;s downgraded the U.S. long-term credit rating</a> last week, raising fears about government debt and inflation. 
See Also:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44621245/gold-backed-cryptos-match-yellow-metals-highs-following-trumps-liberation-day-shock"> </a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45427302/anthony-scaramucci-forecasts-bitcoin-will-be-deemed-asset-class-akin-to-gold-when-it-reaches-500000">Anthony Scaramucci Says Once Bitcoin Hits $500,000 It Will Be Considered An Asset Class Just Like Gold</a>
Hayes predicted that Bitcoin&#8217;s move to the $150,000-200,000, which he thought would happen early third quarter, could spur an altcoin rally.
He also discussed Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), stating that despite its current &#8220;hated&#8221; image <a href="http://benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44432826/why-ethereum-is-lagging-bitcoin-analysts-cite-inflationary-problems-dencun-upgrade-blowback-and-solanas-meme-coins">due to months of underperformance</a>, it could surprise the market with a comeback.
Why It Matters: Hayes&#8217; predictions come at a time when <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45486095/bitcoin-breaks-107000-ethereum-dips-dogecoin-rallies-as-greed-sentiment-takes-over-analyst-predicts-great-6-8-week-period">Bitcoin has broken the $107,000 mark</a>, the highest in nearly four months. This rally was accompanied by a nearly 50% increase in trading volumes, indicating a strong investor sentiment. 
Hayes, one of the most vocal Bitcoin advocates, had predicted Bitcoin <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45433455/arthur-hayes-predicts-bitcoin-to-hit-1-million-by-2028">to hit $1 million by 2028</a> by the end of President Donald Trump&#8217;s tenure. He attributed this to the repatriation of foreign capital and the devaluation of U.S. Treasury bonds, driven by structural imbalances in the U.S. trade and capital accounts.
Price Action:&nbsp; At the time of writing, BTC was exchanging hands at $102,936.32, down 0.66% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Chinese smartphone giant Xiaomi Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XIACY#OTC">XIACY</a>) plans to invest at least 50 billion yuan ($6.93 billion) in chip design over a minimum 10-year period starting from 2021, founder Lei Jun announced Monday on Chinese social media platform Weibo.
What Happened: The Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) rival has already invested 13.5 billion yuan to develop its advanced mobile chip XringO1, according to Lei, Reuters reported. The company&#8217;s chip design division now employs more than 2,500 people, underscoring Xiaomi&#8217;s commitment to semiconductor self-sufficiency.
This significant investment comes amid escalating U.S. semiconductor sanctions against Chinese tech companies. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. recently disclosed in its 2024 annual report that ensuring complete compliance with U.S. chip technology <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44895326/taiwan-semiconductor-confronts-challenges-of-us-chips-sanction-on-china">embargoes has become increasingly challenging</a>.

Why It Matters: TSM, which produces chips for Qualcomm Inc. and MediaTek that are used in Xiaomi devices, noted that business partners have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44895326/taiwan-semiconductor-confronts-challenges-of-us-chips-sanction-on-china">increasingly violated semiconductor sanctions</a> to access advanced technology.
Xiaomi currently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44796659/apple-tops-global-smartphone-sales-with-19-share-boosted-by-iphone-16e-emerging-market-growth">holds third place in global smartphone market share</a>, according to recent Counterpoint Research data, behind Apple and Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. 
Price Action: Xiaomi Corp&#8217;s stock was trading at 51.50 HKD ($6.58) on the Hong Kong Exchange as of 11:59 a.m. Monday, marking a 0.98% gain for the day. Year to date, the stock has surged 51.47%.

Apple Rival Xiaomi To Invest Over $6.9 Billion In Chip Design Through 2031, Boosts Push For Semiconductor Independence Amid US Sanctions

Dairy Queen CEO Troy Bader says the job interview with Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) CEO Warren Buffett that landed him the top seat at the Blizzard maker felt less like a cross-examination and more like a seminar on curiosity.
What Happened: Warren Buffett "was just the opposite" of arrogant, Bader recalls in an <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/warren-buffett-dairy-queen-ceo-bader-job-interview-berkshire-passion-2025-5?utm_campaign=business-sf&amp;utm_source=linkedin&amp;utm_medium=social">interview</a> with Business Insider, grilling him for lessons Buffett could borrow.
"It was the fall of 2017, I'll never forget the day… I was very anxious going in," Bader said, wondering which "questions" Buffett might lob that he'd "never even thought about." "From Warren it was just the opposite," Bader added. Instead of chest-thumping, Buffett spent "the first 15 or 20 minutes" probing a niche Bader knew well for another deal.
"Warren is a constant learner. He wants to know what you know and what he can learn from you." Buffett drilled into Dairy Queen's future and Bader's love for it, &#8220;digging for something more, that energy, that passion, that connection to the business.&#8221;

Bader's first takeaway: "Anybody you meet, I don't care who they are — they know something you don't.&#8221; The second: even the &#8220;smartest person in the world&#8221; can be outperformed by &#8220;somebody who has that passion.&#8221;

Today, the chain licenses more than 7,700 restaurants across 20-plus countries. While Dairy Queen is barely a slice of Berkshire Hathaway, Bader said Buffett &#8220;is actually paying attention to every business… This is his life, this is who he is.&#8221;

Maye Musk, mother of Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk, revealed on Sunday a 1989 computer aptitude test showing her son&#8217;s exceptional engineering potential at age 17.
What Happened: &#8220;While sorting through photos, I came across computer aptitude test results of Elon Musk at 17. My genius boy. Proud mom,&#8221; the 77-year-old model and dietitian wrote on X.
The University of Pretoria document, dated May 17, 1989, shows Musk received A+ scores in both operating and programming on ISM tests, results that the tech mogul claimed were unprecedented.
&#8220;They said I scored the highest for engineering aptitude that they had ever seen,&#8221; Musk commented. &#8220;Or, in other words, not bad for a human, as a future AI might say.&#8221;
This revelation comes amid Musk&#8217;s continued focus on artificial intelligence through his companies, xAI and Tesla, which are developing AI technologies for various applications.

Why It Matters: The aptitude scores offer insight into Musk&#8217;s early technical abilities, long before founding companies like SpaceX and becoming CEO of Tesla. These early <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45336279/elon-musks-77-year-old-mom-says-i-have-to-sleep-in-the-garage-and-on-floor-blankets-when-visiting-her-son-richest-man-in-the-world-we-adapt">indicators of technical prowess</a> preceded his emergence as the world&#8217;s richest individual, currently worth over $381 billion according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
Despite her son&#8217;s immense wealth, Maye Musk recently revealed she sleeps in modest accommodations when visiting him. &#8220;You can&#8217;t have a fancy house near a rocket site,&#8221; she <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45336279/elon-musks-77-year-old-mom-says-i-have-to-sleep-in-the-garage-and-on-floor-blankets-when-visiting-her-son-richest-man-in-the-world-we-adapt">explained in a previous interview</a>, referencing his Texas SpaceX facility.
Maye has frequently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/07/39657381/elon-musks-mother-recounts-time-her-children-used-to-ask-for-food-she-couldnt-afford-after-">recounted the family&#8217;s humble beginnings</a> following her 1979 divorce, when financial constraints meant feeding her children bean stew rather than expensive cereals. &#8220;I remember Elon saying, &#8216;I always wanted Coco Pops, but we only got Raisin Bran,'&#8221; she told Fox News.
