Purple Innovation Inc

Kevin O&#8217;Leary, the famous investor from &#8220;Shark Tank,&#8221; has shared a smart method to break the addictive cycle of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/06/45737262/kevin-oleary-loves-credit-card-companies-because-americans-cant-stop-paying-crazy-23-interest-mr-won">credit card spending</a>, urging people to look closely at the long-term financial cost of their impulsive purchases.
What Happened: In his book, "Cold Hard Truth on Men, Women and Money," which was originally published in 2012, O&#8217;Leary spoke about how many people are trapped in a &#8220;credit card trance,&#8221; spending money they don't have, <a href="https://www.thestreet.com/personal-finance/shark-tanks-kevin-oleary-has-big-money-warning-for-all-americans">reported</a> The Street.
According to O&#8217;Leary, when people buy items on credit, they often fail to consider the true cost of those purchases, particularly the interest paid over time.
He encouraged readers to ask themselves before each purchase: &#8220;Will the interest I pay on this item outlive my interest in this item?&#8221; If the answer is yes, O&#8217;Leary advised against making the purchase.

The investor also warned that using credit cards for emotional relief, or &#8220;retail therapy,&#8221; is a dangerous habit. "I love money because, employed properly, it's a source of creative energy," he wrote in his book. "Stuff, on the other hand, merely uses up energy by killing money."
Why It&#8217;s Important: O'Leary has often described consumer debt as "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43424608/21-interest-rates-youve-got-to-be-kidding-me-kevin-oleary-slams-credit-card-debt-as-the-real-silent-killer-in-america">the silent killer</a>." Back in February, he told Graham Stephan on his podcast that he avoids debt entirely, paying for everything with cash.
He's not alone in warning about the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/05/39092288/if-you-use-your-credit-card-you-do-not-want-to-be-rich-warns-mark-cuban-on-the-dave-ramsey-show">dangers of credit cards</a>. Mark Cuban, another billionaire from Shark Tank, earlier told Dave Ramsey on The Ramsey Show that using credit cards is a barrier to building wealth. &#8220;If you use your credit cards, you do not want to be rich.&#8221;
Earlier this year, in March, Synchrony Financial (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SYF#NYSE">SYF</a>), the biggest private-label credit card issuer in the U.S., said that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/25/03/44482518/major-credit-card-provider-warns-us-consumers-are-spending-less">persistent inflation is pushing consumers</a> to cut back on spending.

Kevin O'Leary Has A Trick To Break The Credit Card Trance: Here's What He Wants You To Look Closely At

Elon Musk&#8216;s Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) failed to dismiss a lawsuit over a fatal car crash involving its Model S. The judge&#8217;s decision paves the way for a potential trial.
What Happened: A federal judge in Miami, Beth Bloom, ruled that the estate of Naibel Benavides Leon and her former boyfriend, Dillon Angulo, can proceed with their claims against Tesla for design defects and failure to warn, according to a report by Reuters on Friday.
The lawsuit is related to an April 2019 incident where a Tesla Model S, equipped with Autopilot, crashed into the victims&#8217; parked Chevrolet Tahoe in Key Largo, Florida.

The judge&#8217;s decision also allows the plaintiffs to seek punitive damages. The trial is scheduled for July 14.
Why It Matters: Tesla, based in Austin, Texas, has long been under scrutiny for the safety of its self-driving technology. The company has repeatedly emphasized that its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/02/25681053/tesla-sued-over-alleged-suspension-failure-in-fatal-florida-crash-that-killed-2-last-year">autopilot features</a> are meant for &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44458804/elon-musk-10-years-ago-called-autonomous-driving-a-solved-problem-said-we-will-be-there-in-a-few-years">fully attentive</a>&#8221; drivers and do not make its vehicles autonomous.
Earlier this month, Tesla faced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46041090/tesla-faces-safety-questions-from-regulators-ahead-of-robotaxi-launch-in-austin">safety questions from regulators</a> as it prepared to launch its Robotaxi service in Austin, Texas. The regulators were particularly concerned about the performance of Tesla&#8217;s self-driving technology in challenging weather conditions.
In a separate incident, a wrongful death lawsuit was filed against Tesla in New Jersey over a 2024 crash involving a Model S that claimed three lives. The lawsuit alleges that the crash was due to the car&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46068107/elon-musks-tesla-faces-wrongful-death-lawsuit-over-model-s-crash-which-claimed-3-lives-plaintiffs-call-cars-design-defective-and-unreasonably-dangerous">defective and unreasonably dangerous design</a>.&#8221;
Price in Action: Tesla closed at $323.63, down 0.66% for the day. A slight dip of 0.28% was seen in after-hours trading, amounting to $322.71, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Elon Musk's Tesla Loses Bid To Dismiss Fatal Crash Lawsuit, Trial Set for July

Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) founder Jeff Bezos and journalist Lauren Sánchez <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46087635/bernie-sanders-slams-jeff-bezos-lavish-wedding-plans-demands-end-to-oligarchy-amazon-founder-pays-1-1-tax-takes-500-million-yacht-to-venice-while-kids-go-hungry">tied the kno</a>t on Friday in a luxurious wedding that cost an estimated $50 million.
The three-day celebration took place in Venice, drawing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/25/06/46136092/jeff-bezos-lauren-sanchez-wedding-draws-star-studded-guest-list-to-venice-here-are-the-celebs-who-showed-up-so-far">numerous A-list celebrities</a> and spotlighting extravagant details like foam parties, custom-designed goodie bags and high-end fashion.
Foam Party On Bezos' $500 Million Yacht
The festivities began with an unconventional foam party on Bezos' $500 million super yacht. The yacht was anchored near Croatia's Unije Island, where the couple celebrated Sánchez's son Evan Whitesell's 19th birthday, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/jun/27/jeff-in-venice-seven-takeaways-from-the-bezos-sanchez-wedding">reported</a> The Guardian.

A Charitable Wedding Invitation
For a couple with a fortune worth billions, Bezos and Sánchez asked guests for something a little unusual: no gifts. Instead, they encouraged guests to make donations on their behalf to charitable causes, including Venice International University and lagoon restoration efforts, the report said.
Exclusive Goodie Bags For Guests
Each guest was given a specially curated goodie bag, which included sweet treats from a renowned Venetian pastry shop, Rosa Salva and colorful Murano glassware from Laguna~B.
Thunderstorms And Public Protests
The celebrations weren't without their hiccups. On Thursday night, a freak thunderstorm disrupted one of the welcoming events at the Madonna dell'Orto cloisters, soaking guests and cutting the event short.
Additionally, public <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/entertainment/25/06/46062022/protests-rock-jeff-bezos-gondola-want-to-rent-venice-for-a-wedding-pay-more-tax">protests against the couple's lavish wedding</a> took place, with activists voicing opposition to the extravagant celebration, the report added.
Fashion Choices And Iconic Looks
Sánchez was seen arriving at the ceremony dressed in what appeared to be an Audrey Hepburn-inspired look, with a headscarf and sunglasses.
As per the report, speculations were that she would wear a Dolce &amp; Gabbana dress, as she has been a long-time fan of the Italian brand.
Art And Culture For The Elite
For some of the guests, including Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) co-founder Bill Gates, the celebration also included a cultural experience. Gates, with an art collection valued at $127 million, visited the Gallerie dell&#8217;Accademia, home to works like Titian's Pietà, during some downtime before the ceremony, the report said.

Jeff Bezos, Lauren Sanchez Get Married In A $50 Million Wedding In Venice: From Foam Party On His $500 Million Yatch To Goodie Bags, Here's What We Know

Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) CEO&nbsp;Jim Farley voiced skepticism about&nbsp;Tesla Inc.'s&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) autonomous driving strategy, underscoring the necessity of consumer trust and prudence.
What Happened: During the Aspen Ideas Festival, Farley emphasized the potential of laser sensor systems, such as those employed by 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>)&nbsp;Waymo, according <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/06/27/ford-ceo-jim-farley-waymo-self-driving-lidar-more-sense-than-tesla-aspen-ideas/">to</a>&nbsp;Fortune.
In a conversation with Walter Isaacson, Farley compared the systems of Waymo and Tesla, expressing a preference for Waymo&#8217;s approach.
"When you have a brand like Ford, when there's a new technology, you have to be really careful," he said.
Farley highlighted the critical role of LiDAR, a technology used by companies like Waymo in self-driving vehicles. Farley stated, "We&nbsp;really believe that LiDAR is&nbsp;mission critical."
He acknowledged the advancements of both companies but emphasized Ford&#8217;s belief in the importance of LiDAR, noting its capability to detect obstacles that cameras might overlook.
"We decided, as a company, that a cooler problem than full autonomy in an urban setting was high speed, eyes off. Push a button and read a book in your car," Farley said.
Tesla, which employs a camera-only strategy for autonomous driving, recently introduced a robotaxi service in Austin.
This approach has faced scrutiny within the industry, although&nbsp;Elon Musk&nbsp;argues it is cost-effective. Meanwhile, Ford plans to collaborate with self-driving software firms as technology progresses, focusing on its &#8220;BlueCruise&#8221; Level 2 system.

Why It Matters: Ford&#8217;s decision to prioritize LiDAR technology over Tesla&#8217;s camera-only approach highlights a significant divergence in strategies within the autonomous vehicle industry. Tesla&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45966726/tesla-vehicle-production-cost-1-7-that-of-waymo-elon-musks-ev-giant-closer-to-full-autonomy-than-competition-report">production costs</a> for vehicles are reportedly just &#8220;1/7&#8221; of Waymo&#8217;s, and this cost efficiency allows Tesla to deploy more vehicles on the road, potentially accelerating its path to full autonomy.
Furthermore, Tesla&#8217;s robotaxi service, which recently launched in Austin, is considered to have a major advantage <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46133153/tesla-robotaxi-has-a-major-advantage-over-rivals-waymo-and-zoox-says-gary-black-could-be-very-significant">over competitors</a> like Waymo and Zoox. Gary Black of The Future Fund LLC highlighted that every Tesla robotaxi is factory-ready, giving it a significant edge in the market.
Despite the differing approaches, Tesla&#8217;s safety record is noteworthy. Social Capital CEO Chamath Palihapitiya <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45966113/tesla-crashes-significantly-lower-than-national-average-chamath-palihapitiya-weighs-in-on-why-its-the-ideal-choice-for-teenage-drivers">pointed out</a> that Tesla&#8217;s crash rates are significantly lower than the national average, making it an ideal choice for teenage drivers.

Ford CEO Jim Farley Believes Waymo's Approach Makes More Sense Than Elon Musk-led Tesla's: 'When You Have A Brand Like Ford... You Have To Be Really Careful'

The U.S. Senate has rejected a Democratic-led proposal to limit President Donald Trump&#8216;s authority to use military force against Iran.
What Happened: The Senate, led by Republicans, voted 53-47 against a resolution that would have required Congressional approval for any further military actions against Iran, according to a Reuters report.
The vote, which took place on Friday, was largely divided along party lines, with only one Democrat, Pennsylvania&#8217;s Sen John Fetterman (D-Pa.), voting against the resolution. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) voted in favor of the resolution, aligning with the Democrats.
Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), the resolution&#8217;s chief sponsor, has been advocating for years to restore Congress&#8217;s authority to declare war, which has been assumed by both Republican and Democratic presidents. Emphasizing on power granted by the Constitution to Congress, not the president, the sole authority to declare war, 
Kaine in his speech said, &#8220;If you think the president should have to come to Congress, whether you are for or against a war in Iran, you&#8217;ll support Senate Joint Resolution 59, you&#8217;ll support the Constitution that has stood the test of time,&#8221;

Trump&#8217;s administration has faced criticism from lawmakers for the recent U.S. strikes on Iran and the uncertainty surrounding Iran&#8217;s highly enriched uranium stockpiles. Despite this, the Senate&#8217;s Republican majority argued that the strikes were within the President&#8217;s rights as Commander-in-Chief and did not signify the beginning of prolonged hostilities.
Why It Matters: The Senate&#8217;s decision to uphold Trump&#8217;s war powers comes in the wake of heightened tensions between the U.S. and Iran.
The U.S. military executed precision strikes on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46043305/donald-trump-announces-spectacular-military-success-as-us-strikes-key-iranian-nuclear-sites">three key Iranian nuclear facilities</a>, including Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan, which President Trump hailed as a &#8216;spectacular military success.&#8217;
Trump has also announced the possibility of further strikes if Iran resumes enriching uranium to concerning levels. Despite these developments, Trump declared a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46072859/trump-says-israel-is-not-going-to-attack-iran-after-ceasefire-violation-turn-around-and-head-home">asserting that Israel would not attack Iran</a>.
Trump&#8217;s administration then announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46107752/trump-announces-iran-nuclear-talks-following-us-strikes-that-severely-damaged-iranian-nuclear-program">nuclear talks with Iran</a> following the U.S. strikes, which were said to have severely damaged Iran&#8217;s nuclear capabilities. These developments sparked debate and concern, with Trump&#8217;s approval ratings <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46129934/trump-approval-ratings-drop-after-attack-on-iran-tie-for-worst-since-second-term-started">experiencing a significant drop</a> in the lead-up and aftermath of the strikes.

Senate Defends Trump's War Powers, Rejects Push For Congressional Approval For Further Action Against Iran

President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;hinted at the possibility of adjusting the early July deadline for reinstating significant U.S. tariffs on various countries.
What Happened: On Friday, Trump suggested that the July 9 deadline for a U.S.-EU trade deal might not be set in stone.
"We&nbsp;can do whatever we want,"&nbsp;he told reporters at the White House, according <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/27/trump-tariff-trade-deadline-july.html">to</a> a CNBC report.
"We could extend it. We could make it shorter."
This statement also addressed the July 8 deadline, which marks the end of&nbsp;a three-month pause on his&nbsp;"Liberation Day" tariffs.
The pause temporarily reduced tariffs to 10%, but they could revert to higher rates unless Trump&#8217;s executive order from April 9 is amended.
During the 90-day pause, the White House aimed to negotiate individual trade agreements, but&nbsp;with less than two weeks&nbsp;left, only limited&nbsp;agreements with China and the&nbsp;United Kingdom have been finalized.
Trump mentioned deals with "probably four or five different&nbsp;countries," yet emphasized the extensive list of countries still targeted by tariffs.
Despite a federal trade court ruling against the tariffs in May,&nbsp;a federal appeals court has&nbsp;temporarily halted that decision.&nbsp;White House press secretary Karoline&nbsp;Leavitt hinted at the possibility of extending the July deadlines, but emphasized that the decision rests with the President.

Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s recent remarks come on the heels of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46150909/trump-canada-tariffs-dollar-deal">dramatic shift</a> in trade negotiations with Canada. On the same day, Trump halted all trade talks with Canada, citing their new Digital Services Tax on American technology companies as a &#8220;direct and blatant attack&#8221; on the U.S.
Meanwhile, the U.S. and China have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46133537/howard-lutnick-confirms-us-china-trade-agreement-reaffirms-white-houses-progress-to-close-deals-with-10-other-trading-partners">finalized</a> a trade agreement, building on discussions held in Geneva last month. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick confirmed the deal, noting plans to secure agreements with ten other major trading partners.
Trump's tariff preference is not new. In a 1988 interview on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Trump voiced his frustration with U.S. allies, asserting that they should &#8220;pay their fair share&#8221; in trade relations with the United States. He specifically pointed to Japan and Kuwait as examples of nations benefiting at the expense of the U.S.

Trump Says July Tariff Deadline Not Set In Stone: 'We Can Do Whatever We Want'

Tesla Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has reached a significant milestone in autonomous driving technology. The company successfully completed its&nbsp;first fully autonomous delivery of&nbsp;a Model Y.
What Happened: Tesla CEO&nbsp;Elon Musk&nbsp;announced on Saturday that the EV giant achieved a milestone by completing the&nbsp;first fully autonomous delivery of&nbsp;a Model Y.
"The first fully autonomous delivery of a Tesla Model Y from factory to a customer home across town, including highways, was just completed a day ahead of schedule!!" Musk said in a post on the social media platform X.

Musk credited the achievement to the efforts of the&nbsp;Tesla AI&nbsp;teams, responsible for both software and AI chip design.
He added that during the journey, there were no individuals inside the vehicle, nor were there any remote operators controlling it. Musk emphasized that this is, to the best of their knowledge, the first instance of a fully autonomous drive on public highways without any human presence or remote operation.

Why It Matters: This achievement follows a series of advancements in Tesla&#8217;s autonomous driving technology. Earlier this year, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42894743/tesla-ceo-elon-musk-says-fsd-will-be-safer-than-human-drivers-in-q2-2025">Musk revealed</a> that Tesla&#8217;s Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology would surpass human driving safety by the second quarter of 2025. He predicted that FSD would eventually become ten times safer than human drivers, reducing the likelihood of accidents significantly.
In January, Tesla <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43295163/elon-musk-says-unsupervised-full-self-driving-begins-as-tesla-can-now-drive-itself-from-factory-to-loading-docks">announced</a> a breakthrough, stating that its vehicles could autonomously navigate from the factory to loading docks without human intervention, which was the precursor to the current achievement.
Earlier this month, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46048103/teslas-robotaxi-rollout-sparks-expansion-buzz-elon-musks-company-says-fsd-can-be-deployed-anywhere-after-austin-launch">Tesla launched</a> its Robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, with a limited number of Model Y Robotaxis. This rollout signifies Tesla&#8217;s commitment to expanding its autonomous capabilities and deploying self-driving technology wherever approved.
Meanwhile, Wedbush analyst Dan Ives <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/46034667/teslas-ai-future-is-worth-1-trillion-says-dan-ives-golden-era-of-autonomous-begins-with-robotaxi-launch">valued</a> Tesla&#8217;s AI and autonomous driving technology at $1 trillion, highlighting the transformative potential of the company&#8217;s innovations.

Elon Musk Reacts After Tesla Completes Autonomous Delivery Of Model Y: From Factory To Customer Home Across Town, Through Highways

The Donald Trump administration is preparing a set of executive actions to bolster the U.S. artificial intelligence (AI) sector, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45805623/palantir-ceo-warns-us-china-ai-race-will-have-one-winner-urges-west-to-keep-up">aiming to outpace China</a> in the global AI race.
What Happened: The administration's proposed actions aim to ease power grid constraints and expedite data center construction, both crucial to supporting AI development, reported Reuters, citing sources familiar with the matter.
The initiatives include facilitating power-generating projects&#8217; connections to the grid and offering federal land for data center construction.
The moves are intended to address the growing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46117348/meta-secures-more-clean-energy-for-power-hungry-ai-and-data-center-growth">electricity demand driven by AI</a>, which is projected to increase U.S. power demand five times faster than anticipated by 2029.

Power demand from AI data centers could surge over 30-fold by 2035, the report noted, citing Deloitte.
The White House is also set to release an AI action plan, with a nationwide &#8220;AI Action Day&#8221; slated for July 23 to highlight the report's recommendations.
Why It&#8217;s Important: The surging demand for AI is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45816468/ai-data-centers-are-eating-electricity-and-these-3-energy-stocks-could-be-the-biggest-winners-says-analyst">transforming the energy landscape</a>, fueling growth for independent power producers (IPPs) like Constellation Energy Corp.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NRG#NYSE">NRG</a>).
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) expects electricity use in the country to keep rising through 2025 and 2026, reaching new record levels, mainly due to increased demand from commercial and industrial users like data centers.
ICF International predicts that U.S. electricity needs could jump by 25% by 2030 and soar by 78% by 2050.

Trump's AI Power Play—Executive Orders Aim To Outpace China, Rewire US Grid In Fight For Tech Supremacy: Report

Jim Cramer&nbsp;expressed concerns on Monday about&nbsp;Palantir Technologies Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) experiencing a significant stock decline, questioning if it was a result of the Russell index rebalance.
What Happened: Palantir's stock price plunged by over 10% on Friday, amid easing tensions in the Middle East and a possible pullback after a recent bull run in the stock.
Despite this drop, Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings show Palantir's shares rank in the 98th and 97% percentiles on Momentum and Growth, respectively. Click&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>&nbsp;for deeper insights into the stock.

CNBC's "Mad Money" host Cramer wondered if the fall in Palantir stock could be due to a rebalance by FTSE Russell in its U.S. indices.

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

Cramer&#8217;s post comes after he recently praised Palantir, suggesting it has the potential to be valued at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46134364/palantir-is-a-200-stock-masquerading-as-144-says-jim-cramer-highlights-new-nuclear-operating-system-microsoft-endorsement">$200 per share</a>, despite its current trading levels.

Why It Matters: The stock market often reacts to index rebalances, which can cause volatility. Cramer&#8217;s comments come at a time when Palantir&#8217;s stock has been performing well, hitting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/46098312/palantir-stock-hits-all-time-high-whats-going-on">new all-time highs</a> and rising over 500% in the past year.
Despite the recent drop, the stock remains up approximately 93% year-to-date.
Moreover, Palantir&#8217;s innovative approach, particularly its Forward Deployed Engineer model, has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/46109638/microsoft-ceo-satya-nadella-praises-palantirs-fde-model-as-fantastic-insiders-say-its-not-consulting-it-builds-the-product-customers-need">received praise</a> from industry leaders like&nbsp;Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft. Nadella described the model as &#8220;fantastic,&#8221; emphasizing its unique role in product development rather than traditional consulting.

Palantir Stock Price Falls Over 10%: Jim Cramer Wonders If It Was A Casualty Of Russell Rebalance Days After Calling It A $200 Stock

Dave Ramsey, founder and CEO of Ramsey Solutions and a well-known radio host, has offered some tough advice to pet owners who are facing financial difficulties in keeping their pets alive.
What Happened: Ramsey recently addressed a difficult question from a listener who was struggling with the financial burden of their pet&#8217;s medical bills, according to a report <a href="https://www.thestreet.com/personal-finance/dave-ramsey-has-blunt-words-on-spending-money-to-keep-a-dog-alive">by</a> The Street.
The listener, identified as Jeff, disclosed that he and his wife have an annual household income of $127,000. They were faced with expensive veterinary bills for their elderly dog, prompting them to question how much they should be willing to spend to keep their pet alive.
Ramsey, a self-proclaimed dog lover, acknowledged the emotional difficulty of the situation. He stated, &#8220;That being said, this little animal that I love like crazy is still … a dog,&#8221;
Ramsey said that his children and grandchildren would take priority over his pets when it comes to spending money to keep them alive, cautioning against the risk of the pet&#8217;s well-being being overshadowed by the owner&#8217;s emotions.
He advised that if the pet&#8217;s condition can be improved with a reasonable amount of money, it may be worth it. However, he strongly advised against going into debt or causing financial strain to keep a pet alive.

Why It Matters: Ramsey&#8217;s advice on this issue is consistent with his overall approach to personal finance. He has previously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45496493/dave-ramsey-shares-four-money-lessons-every-child-should-learn-money-comes-from-work-not-from-other-people">offered guidance</a> to high-earning individuals who struggle with financial discipline, emphasizing the importance of living within one&#8217;s means.
His recent advice also aligns with his previous comments about the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/45753871/man-calls-dave-ramsey-for-guidance-because-he-has-no-savings-despite-earning-200k-annually">financial responsibility </a>of pet ownership.

I truly prefer this dog to most people, I really do.&#8221;
However, he made it clear that his love for his pet does not justify going into debt to cover expensive medical procedures.

Dave Ramsey Has Blunt Advice On How Much To Spend To Keep A Pet Dog Alive: 'I've Seen People Spend Tens Of Thousands Of Dollars…'

The Supreme Court has altered how birthright citizenship policies can be challenged in court. The ruling, authored by conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett, limits the judiciary&#8217;s power to issue nationwide injunctions against presidential directives.
What Happened: The Supreme Court&#8217;s 6-3 decision, announced on Friday, impacts the enforcement of birthright citizenship policies. The ruling restricts judges&#8217; ability to block President Donald Trump&#8217;s policies across the nation, although it does not immediately enforce his directive on birthright citizenship, according to a Reuters report.
Trump welcomed the ruling, asserting it enables his administration to advance policies like the birthright citizenship executive order, which he claims were unjustly obstructed. The decision requires lower courts to reevaluate the extent of their injunctions.
&#8220;This morning, the Supreme Court has delivered a monumental victory for the Constitution,&#8221; President Trump said <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114756147615303122">in</a> a post on Truth Social, adding that this is a &#8220;big day.&#8221;

The ruling did not address the legality of Trump&#8217;s policy, which seeks to deny citizenship to children born in the U.S. without at least one American citizen or lawful permanent resident parent. The policy can take effect 30 days after the ruling.
Liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor criticized the decision, labeling it a &#8220;travesty for the rule of law&#8221; and highlighting the potential unconstitutionality of Trump&#8217;s order. The case underscores the ongoing debate over the judiciary&#8217;s authority to issue universal injunctions against presidential policies.
Why It Matters: The Supreme Court&#8217;s decision follows a series of legal challenges against Trump&#8217;s birthright citizenship policy. In February 2025, U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/02/43512657/trump-rejected-federal-judge-says-executive-order-against-birthright-citizenship-will-cause-irreparable-harm">issued an injunction</a>, citing potential irreparable harm.
Earlier, in January 2025, Judge John Coughenour in Seattle temporarily<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43181433/trumps-birthright-citizenship-order-halted-by-judge-blatantly-unconstitutional"> blocked the order</a>, deeming it &#8220;blatantly unconstitutional.&#8221;
Trump, who pledged in a 2023 campaign video his<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/05/32640194/trump-calls-for-abolition-of-birthright-citizenship-once-again-will-issue-executive-order-on-day-1-i"> intent to abolish birthright citizenship</a> if re-elected in 2024, as highlighted in a campaign video.

Supreme Court Hands Trump A 'Monumental Victory' As It Limits Judges' Power To Block President's Birthright Citizenship Order

Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) Original Films' "F1: The Movie," starring Brad Pitt, has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/45829682/pro-drivers-give-brad-pitts-f1-movie-the-thumbs-up-its-300-million-budget-makes-it-one-of-the-most-expensive-films-ever-made">exceeded expectations</a>, banking $10 million in previews and is on track for a $115 million global opening, while "M3GAN 2.0" is off to a slower start.
What Happened: Directed by Joseph Kosinski, the Formula One racing drama's preview earnings include $7 million from Thursday night shows and $3 million from sneak screenings, <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/brad-pitt-f1-fire-up-box-office-m3gan-2-1236301336/">reported</a> The Hollywood Reporter.
Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>) is distributing and promoting Apple's big summer movie, which is expected to open with at least $115 million worldwide thanks to IMAX and premium screen deals.
However, its production costs are high, exceeding $200 million before marketing expenses.

F1 is expected to easily outpace Blumhouse and Atomic Monster's "M3GAN 2.0," which brought in $1.5 million from Thursday night previews, the report said.
The Comcast Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>) subsidiary Universal Studios' sequel is projected to open domestically with around $20 million — about $10 million less than the first M3GAN's impressive $30.4 million debut in December 2023, which included $2.75 million in preview showings.
The original film went on to make $117.7 million in North America and $226.3 million worldwide, all on a modest $12 million production budget, not accounting for inflation.
Why It's Important: F1's preview earnings have already surpassed those of &#8220;Ford v Ferrari,&#8221; the biographical racing drama set at the iconic Le Mans endurance race.
That film, featuring Matt Damon and Christian Bale, brought in $2.1 million from previews before achieving a respectable three-day North American debut of $3 million.
"F1: The Movie" marks a pivotal moment for Apple as it tries to break into the competitive theatrical market, after previous <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/03/37558754/apples-1b-gamble-on-3-blockbusters-analyzing-box-office-results-streaming-impact-and-oscar-nominatio">box office disappointments</a> like "Killers of the Flower Moon" and "Napoleon."
Despite Apple's vast financial power — with a market value of $3 trillion and annual earnings close to $100 billion — its video arm, which covers Apple Original Films and Apple TV+, hasn't <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/06/46142591/apples-f1-movie-burns-300-million-still-waiting-on-a-profit">made money since it started</a> in 2017.
Apple TV+ has also found it challenging to capture a meaningful share of the market. Although it has around 45 million subscribers, it reportedly represents under 1% of overall U.S. streaming viewing and still loses over $1 billion each year.
Price Action: According to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>, Apple's stock has dropped 17.54% so far this year and is down 6.08% over the last 12 months.
Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings indicate that Apple's shares continue to show a declining trend over the short, medium and long term. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Additional performance insights can be found here</a>.

Cathie Wood's Ark Invest Continues To Offload Coinbase, Bets Big On SoFi Technologies

Snowcap Compute, a semiconductor startup developing superconducting AI chips, <a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250623688438/en/Snowcap-Compute-Launches-with-%2423-Million-Led-by-Playground-Global-to-Power-the-Next-Era-of-AI-and-Quantum-Compute">announced</a> a $23 million seed round on Monday. According to <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/snowcap-compute-raises-23-million-superconducting-ai-chips-2025-06-23/">Reuters</a>, the company is backed by Playground Global and led by former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger, who will also serve as board chair.
The funding round also included Cambium Capital and Vsquared Ventures.
The startup aims to create high-performance computing platforms that require significantly less power than current-generation chips. Snowcap said its superconducting architecture will deliver 25 times better performance per watt compared to existing AI systems.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Aiming for Radical Gains in AI and Quantum Computing</h2>
Snowcap Compute's superconducting chips are designed to operate with zero electrical resistance and require cryogenic cooling to function, according to Reuters. The company said the chips are being developed to reduce electricity consumption in artificial intelligence computing, a sector facing increasing energy demands.
Nvidia&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) upcoming Rubin Ultra server, expected in 2027, is projected to consume around 600 kilowatts of power—about two-thirds of the monthly electricity use of a typical U.S. household, Reuters reported.
Snowcap CEO Michael Lafferty, formerly with Cadence Design Systems (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CDNS#NASDAQ">CDNS</a>), told Reuters that the performance-to-power ratio of Snowcap's architecture justifies the energy spent on cooling. "We're pushing the performance level way up and pulling the power down at the same time," he said.
Snowcap plans to release a basic chip by the end of 2026. Full system deployments will follow at a later stage. The chips will be manufactured in a conventional factory using niobium titanium nitride sourced from Brazil and Canada, Reuters reported.

"A lot of data centers today are just being limited by power availability," he told Reuters.

He called it his first public investment as general partner at Playground Global and said the company's technology could address compute bottlenecks and "push the boundaries of what is possible with silicon."

<h3>딜 관련 기타 뉴스</h3>
금요일, 도널드 트럼프 대통령은 취임 50일을 맞이했고 백악관은 "승리는 멈추지 않는다"고 선전했다.
그러나 한때 성장을 갈망했던 투자 은행과 기업들의 세계에서는 패배가 느껴진다.
오늘 발표된 피치북(PitchBook) 분석에 따르면, "전략적 M&amp;A는 극도로 느린 시작을 보였다.&#8221; 1월에는 10년 만에 가장 낮은 M&amp;A 거래량이 발생했고, 2월에도 그다지 밝지 않았다. 기업들은 반독점 규제, 가격 불일치, 시장 혼란에 휩싸여 있다고 덧붙였다.
트럼프 정부 하에서 M&amp;A가 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/11/41805370/jim-cramer-hopes-m-a-to-come-back-bigly-under-trump-administration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">대폭적으로 회복될 것으로 예상</a>되었지만, 11월 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/24/11/41952823/republicans-set-to-hold-slim-house-majority-what-it-means-for-energy-financial-defense-sectors" target="_blank" rel="noopener">공화당의 압승 이후</a> 예상되었던 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41979935/golden-years-for-ma-deals-ahead-under-trump-analysts-highlight-top-10-large-cap-candidates" target="_blank" rel="noopener">M&amp;A 붐에 대한 이야기</a>는 그저 이야기로 그쳤다.
마이크로소프트 NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>)는같은 최고의 기술 기업들은 거래를 하는 대신 손에 쥐고만 있다.
피치북은 워싱턴주 레드몬드에 본사를 둔 마이크로소프트가 지난 18개월 동안 아무것도 인수하지 않았다고 지적했다. 대부분의 다른 거대 기술 기업들도 인수 합병 테이블에 앉아 있지 않다. 대신, 인수합병 자금은 AI 인프라에 투자되고 있다.
그리고 시장 매도세가 나타났다. 금요일(14일) 바론즈는 11월을 "월스트리트가 희망으로 가득 찼던" 때로 <a href="https://www.barrons.com/articles/trump-mergers-tariffs-banks-c4fdc61d" target="_blank" rel="noopener">회상했다</a>. 당시 골드만삭스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>), JP모건 체이스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), 모건스탠리(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>)의 주가가 급등했다. 이는 트럼프의 두 번째 임기 동안 M&amp;A가 다시 활성화될 것이라는 것을 의미했다.
하지만 오늘로 시간을 돌려 보면, 골드만삭스의 수석 이코노미스트가 미국 경제 전체를 <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/goldman-sachs-chief-economist-just-160521522.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">하향 조정</a>했고, JP모건의 CEO인 제이미 다이먼이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/25/03/44290692/jamie-dimon-warns-of-economic-weakening-negative-consumer-sentiment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">다시 한번</a> 경종을 울리고 있으며, 모건스탠리는 3분기까지는 큰 움직임이 없을 것으로 <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/morgan-stanley-research-sees-slowdown-ma-activity-first-half-2025-amid-2025-03-13/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">예상</a>하고 있다.
그리고 금요일 초, 미시간대학의 최근 조사에 따르면 경제학자들이 "끔찍하다"와 "무섭다"와 같은 단어를 사용하여 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44337983/economists-react-to-march-consumer-confidence-plunge-this-is-a-horrific-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">수치를 설명</a>할 정도로 소비자 신뢰지수가 급격히 감소했다.
