Trump's Crypto Ventures, Draper And Cathie Wood's Bitcoin Predictions, MSTR Estimates, And More: This Week In Crypto

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk, publicly criticized President Donald Trump&#8216;s One Big Beautiful Bill, which advanced in the Senate Saturday night, calling it &#8220;utterly insane&#8221; and &#8220;destructive.&#8221;
What Happened: Musk&#8217;s criticism comes in the midst of an ongoing public disagreement with President Trump, who is a supporter of the bill. Musk&#8217;s criticism is aimed at the sections of the bill that propose tax hikes on a range of energy projects.
These include solar, battery, geothermal, wind, and nuclear energy projects. Tesla, the electric vehicle and clean energy company Musk heads, has significant interests in both battery energy storage systems and solar photovoltaics.
Musk took to X, his personal social media platform, to express his concerns about the bill. He stated that it &#8220;will destroy millions of jobs&nbsp;in America and cause immense&nbsp;strategic harm to our country!&#8221;. 
He also criticized the bill for its perceived bias towards &#8220;industries of the past&#8221;, which he believes will be detrimental to future industries.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">The latest Senate draft bill will destroy millions of jobs in America and cause immense strategic harm to our country!

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
The proposed legislation also includes&nbsp;a new subsidy for coal&nbsp;used in steel production. This public criticism from Musk has led to a strain in his relationship with President Trump. Following Musk&#8217;s comments, Tesla&#8217;s shares fell by 14% after the president threatened to review government contracts awarded to Musk&#8217;s companies.
Despite expressing regret over some of his posts, Musk continues to voice his opposition as the legislative debate over the bill approaches.
Why It Matters: Musk&#8217;s criticism of the Senate&#8217;s domestic policy package is significant given his position as the CEO of Tesla, a company heavily invested in renewable energy. The proposed tax increases on energy projects could potentially impact Tesla&#8217;s business operations and future growth.
The public feud with President Trump and the subsequent threat to reassess government contracts for Musk&#8217;s companies has already had a noticeable impact on Tesla&#8217;s share price. 
This ongoing situation highlights the potential risks and uncertainties faced by companies in the renewable energy sector.

Apple's F1 Surpasses Expectations, Chamath Palihapitiya's Criticism, AI For Chip Design, And Perplexity Acquisition In Consideration: This Week In Appleverse

The past week has been a rollercoaster ride for Wall Street, with unexpected turns in trade negotiations, surprising oil market reactions, and tech giants reaching new heights.
Here&#8217;s a quick recap of the top stories that kept the financial world buzzing over the weekend.
Trump&#8217;s Trade Turnaround
In a shocking move, President Donald Trump abruptly halted all trade negotiations with Canada, sending Wall Street into a frenzy. The President announced on Truth Social that Canada&#8217;s new Digital Services Tax on American tech companies was &#8220;a direct and blatant attack on our Country.&#8221; This sudden reversal sent investors scurrying from risk assets, dampening the earlier optimism.

Oil Market Defies Expectations
Contrary to predictions, oil markets crashed by over 7% to $68 a barrel, even as Iran launched missiles at U.S. military installations in Qatar. Instead of triggering a surge in crude prices, the attack seemed to confirm market expectations of a controlled response rather than the onset of a full-blown war.

Recession Risks Rise
The Conference Board Leading Economic Index fell 0.1% month-over-month in May, marking its sixth consecutive monthly decline. This signals an increasing risk of recession for the U.S. economy, with the index declining in 37 of the last 39 months, one of the worst streaks since 1960.

Dollar&#8217;s Worst Slide in Decades
The first five months of Donald Trump&#8217;s presidency have seen one of the steepest collapses in the U.S. dollar in over three decades. Economic contraction, surging deficits, and political friction with the Federal Reserve have all contributed to the greenback&#8217;s decline.

Nvidia&#8217;s Rise to the Top
Wall Street returned to record highs at the end of June, with both the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100 breaking above their February peaks. Amidst this, Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) became the most valuable company as investor sentiment turned positive and geopolitical and trade risks eased.

Trump's Canada Trade Flip, Oil Market Shock And Nvidia's Rise To The Top: This Week In Economy

The past week has been a whirlwind of political and economic developments. President Donald Trump&#8217;s approval ratings took a hit following an attack on Iran, while he hinted at potential changes to the July tariff deadline. The Supreme Court handed Trump a significant victory, limiting judges&#8217; power to block presidential directives. Meanwhile, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer criticized the GOP&#8217;s budget reconciliation bill, and Trump&#8217;s defense budget signaled a strategic shift towards advanced missile systems and unmanned warfare capabilities.

Trump Hints at Flexibility on July Tariff Deadline

Trump's Approval Ratings, Tariff Deadlines, Schumer's Criticism, And Defense Budget Shifts: This Week In Politics

Mark Cuban may have a net worth north of $5 billion, but when it came time to split the check with his dad, the math didn't matter.
In a 2019 appearance on "<a href="https://youtu.be/t3DQciFECoY?si=vRlE43Fabbb6sMoI">The Dan Patrick Show,</a>" Cuban shared that his father, Norton Cuban, "did upholstery on cars and I don't think he ever made more than $40,000 in a year." Still, that never stopped him from grabbing the dinner bill—even after his son became one of the richest entrepreneurs in America.
"He was dad," Cuban said plainly. "If we went out to dinner, he was pulling out the credit card no matter what. The minute I said, ‘Dad,' he just looked at me with a death stare like, ‘Don't even think that you're going to pay for dinner.'"

</ul>
And he meant it.
The billionaire investor admitted it felt "weird" out-earning his father by tens of millions, but the old-school respect never faded. Norton wasn't interested in who had more zeros in their bank account—he was interested in being dad.
Cuban's respect for his father runs deep. At 14, he spent time working with Norton in auto upholstery—not to learn the craft, but to learn that punching a clock for someone else meant giving up your time. "His time was never his own," Cuban recalled in a <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/02/28/mark-cuban-built-his-career-using-advice-his-dad-gave-him-at-age-14.html">CNBC interview</a>. "He wanted me to create my own path."
So Cuban did. And when he eventually pulled in $100,000 in a single year, he shared the milestone with his dad, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/46042314/when-mark-cuban-hit-100000-he-told-his-dad-whod-never-earned-even-half-that-he-just-started-crying">who immediately started crying</a>.
Trending: This Jeff Bezos-backed startup will allow you to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bezos-landlord-100-dollars"> become a landlord in just 10 minutes, with minimum investments as low as $100</a>.
Still, Cuban said the best thing he ever bought his dad wasn't a fancy car or house—it was a trip. That's what stuck.
"My dad is 87. He's going strong, he's a machine," Cuban told the <a href="https://youtu.be/TE4JsAahB2w?si=XKhNcRag7BQzuwCy">crowd at SXSW in 2014</a>. Then he shared Norton's favorite piece of advice:
"Today's the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/45775192/mark-cuban-wanted-to-get-rich-enough-to-retire-by-35-not-to-quit-working-but-for-freedom-today-is-the-youngest-youll-ever-be-live-like-it">youngest you're ever going to be</a>. You've got to live like it. You've got to live young every day."
Norton Cuban passed away in 2018 at 92, but clearly, his lessons didn't go anywhere.
Billionaire or not, Mark Cuban's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45553078/mark-cuban-says-you-dont-need-to-have-life-figured-out-by-22-he-got-fired-slept-on-the-floor-partied-like-a-rockstar-and-still-became-rich">still trying to live young</a>, and maybe—just maybe—pick up the check once in a while. Though if his dad were around, that stare might still shut it down.

Mark Cuban Says His Dad Made $40K A Year But Still Paid For Dinner—Even After He Became A Billionaire: 'Don't Even Think That You're Going To Pay'

Investing is one of the common paths to long-term wealth, but it can feel complex if you are just getting started. Luckily, financial guru Vincent Chan recently revealed the simplest way to get started.
Not only is it easy to start investing based on Chan's advice, but <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@vincentchanco/video/7519112459018325281?lang=en">his strategy</a> has a proven track record of multiplying your money in the long run.
The Easiest Things To Invest In Are Low-Cost Index Funds&#8217; Chan explained in the video.
It sounds basic, but that doesn't make it a bad suggestion. Here's why index funds remain one of the most popular ways for people to invest.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Index Funds Are Easy For Beginners</h2>
Index funds offer investors exposure to a basket of companies. Some index funds contain a few dozen companies, while other index funds contain hundreds of publicly traded corporations. A couple of index funds even have well over 1,000 stocks, offering broad exposure to the market.
You don't have to get the most diversified index fund to get good results. Some funds with 100 stocks perform better than funds with 500 stocks. The main strength of index funds is that they enable automatic portfolio diversification and streamline investing.
You don't have to research a bunch of stocks, know what to look for in a good stock or follow the news every day. A portfolio manager can do all of those things for you as your money grows in an index fund.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Start With Your Tax-Advantaged Accounts</h2>
You can accumulate index funds in any investment account that lets you trade stocks. However, Chan suggests giving preference to tax-advantaged accounts like your 401(k), HSA, and Roth IRA when you make investments.
These accounts let you reduce your tax bill as you grow your investments. Traditional retirement accounts let you reduce your taxes right now, while you won't have to pay any taxes on withdrawals from your Roth IRA.&nbsp;
Trending: This Jeff Bezos-backed startup will allow you to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bezos-landlord-100-dollars"> become a landlord in just 10 minutes, with minimum investments as low as $100</a>.
Chan suggests investing any remaining money into a brokerage account once you have maxed out your tax-advantaged accounts. Investors should also monitor any changes the IRS makes to the maximum amount they can contribute to retirement accounts. You also get to make catch-up contributions to your retirement accounts the moment you turn 50.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What To Look For In An Index Fund</h2>
Chan recommends looking for index funds that have low expense ratios. This ratio reflects the cost of holding the fund and having an investment firm manage it on your behalf. Passively managed ETFs that mirror benchmarks like the S&amp;P 500 typically have low expense ratios. It's realistic to find passively managed ETFs that have expense ratios below 0.10%.&nbsp;
Investors can further explore index funds by analyzing their total returns. You can look at how much a fund has returned over the past five and ten years to gauge if it's consistent or volatile. It's also good to look at a fund's asset allocation to see if most of the stocks are in the tech sector or another industry.
Some investors also look at a fund's yield to see how much cash flow they will receive just by holding on to shares. While most investors shouldn't prioritize a fund based on its yield, receiving passive income from investments becomes more valuable as you get closer to retirement.

New To Investing? Vincent Chan Says Low-Cost Index Funds Are the Easiest Way to Get Started

Doctors used to be the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44481583/bill-gates-thinks-you-might-only-work-2-3-days-a-week-thanks-to-ai-but-also-says-legitimately-people-are-like-wow-this-is-a-bit-scary">gold standard of job security</a>. After all, you can't outsource a heart transplant to a chatbot… right?
But according to Elon Musk, even the most elite surgeons might want to start looking over their scrub-covered shoulders.
"Robots will surpass good human surgeons within a few years and the best human surgeons within ~5 years," he <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1916573094367625556">posted on X in April</a>.

That might sound like a stretch — but Musk pointed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46012959/elon-musks-neuralink-implants-brain-chip-in-6th-patient-enables-paralyzed-man-to-move-cursor-play-game-with-his-mind">real-world experience at Neuralink</a>. "It was impossible for a human to achieve the required speed and precision," he said, referring to why his neurotechnology company had to rely on a robot to insert brain-computer electrodes.
Neuralink's surgical robot is designed to place ultra-thin threads into the brain, a job too delicate for even the steadiest hands. Musk wasn't just speculating — he was citing the kind of tech already in use.
And the broader field of robot-assisted surgery has been gaining momentum. Around the same time as Musk's post, Medtronic (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MDT#NYSE">MDT</a>) in April <a href="https://news.medtronic.com/2025-04-26-Medtronic-Expand-URO-U-S-clinical-trial-meets-safety-and-effectiveness-primary-endpoints-for-Hugo-TM-robotic-assisted-surgery-system">released results</a> from 137 live surgeries using its Hugo robotic system. The complication rate was just 3.7% for prostate procedures, with the system exceeding success benchmarks by a wide margin.
So what's the problem? According to actual surgeons: nuance, context — and a reality check.
One American neurosurgeon responded directly to Musk's claim on X, <a href="https://x.com/DrSAdusumilli/status/1916612237558419743">saying</a>:
"This is false. As a neurosurgeon, I promise you that no &#8220;robot&#8221; surgeon can EVER autonomously perform brain and spine surgery or likely any surgeries effectively, appropriately or safely. Too many variables require critical thinking."
Another <a href="https://x.com/dr_francisco79/status/1916600843987546183">surgeon chimed in writing</a>: "The problem is that the human body is not a machine and, in surgery in particular, the unexpected happens all the time."
He added, "At this point, the surgeon needs to use creativity to solve problems, and that is what separates the best from the average."
Another robotic surgeon, who claims to have&nbsp; performed more than 2,400 procedures, <a href="https://x.com/DrSAdusumilli/status/1916612237558419743">posted</a>:
"Misleading!! Robots are not actually doing the surgery; the surgeon is doing it with the console. They are great tools, but not surgeons."
Trending: This Jeff Bezos-backed startup will allow you to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bezos-landlord-100-dollars"> become a landlord in just 10 minutes, with minimum investments as low as $100</a>.
Leaders in outpatient surgery centers echoed those concerns to<a href="https://ascnews.com/2025/04/ai-surgery-debate-heats-up-after-elon-musks-robot-prediction/"> Ambulatory Surgery Center News</a>.
Wes Battiste, CEO of Destin Surgery Center, pushed back diplomatically:
"I admire Elon Musk as an exceptional entrepreneur and visionary. But I would beg to differ with him in regard to his recent post referencing AI replacing surgeons in the next five years."
Battiste emphasized that while AI excels at analyzing patterns, surgery involves subjective decisions and unpredictable anatomy — the kind that doesn't always match textbook diagrams.
"Medicine is called an art and not a science for a reason," he said.
Others, like Michael McClain of Left Coast Healthcare Advisors, warned of regulation lagging behind AI's capabilities:&nbsp;
"There is a ton of work to do in terms of safety, reliability, liability and governance before truly autonomous surgery is a remote possibility."
Robotic systems will absolutely keep playing a bigger role in operating rooms. But for now, most experts agree they're still just tools — not replacements.
Joan Dentler, founder of Avanza Healthcare Strategies, summed up what many doctors were thinking when she told ASCN:
"I'm not sure that the technology will fully replace human surgeons. Perhaps it will augment their abilities."
There are still a few years to go before we find out whether Musk's prediction is prophetic, premature, or just another bold headline. But either way, the conversation isn't just theoretical anymore. Robots are already in the operating room—and the question now is how much further they're allowed to go.

Highlights: In a fireside chat with Gary Tan at Y Combinator&#8217;s AI Startup School that was posted on YouTube on Wednesday, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said that<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46111393/ai-is-already-speeding-up-discoveries-in-chemistry-and-physics-but-satya-nadella-says-the-real-breakthrough-will-come-when-we-add-quantum-computing-to-the-mix"> it will be</a> a game-changer when quantum computing is integrated with AI.&nbsp;
&#8220;If you want to understand the language of nature, which is simulation, I think the best way to do it is through a quantum computer because, after all, physics and nature are quantum,&#8221; Nadella said.&nbsp;
&#8220;What we are seeing is pretty good advances in using basically HPC+AI as a way to accelerate advances in Chemistry, in Physics, in Material Science and so quantum would be the next step in it."
"But we're very excited about what AI+quantum and HPC in a loop can do,&#8221; he added.
