SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci stated on Thursday that President Donald Trump&#8216;s political influence has begun to decline, coinciding with a $152 billion market capitalization loss for Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) amid an escalating public feud between Trump and CEO Elon Musk.
What Happened: &#8220;People aren&#8217;t realizing yet but today is the day that trump as a political asset has started decaying. Mark the day,&#8221; Scaramucci wrote on X, adding &#8220;Elon is right about Trump.&#8221; 
The Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) advocate&#8217;s comments came as Tesla suffered its second-largest percentage drop in over a year, falling 14.3% to $284.70.

The unprecedented market rout followed Trump&#8217;s public criticism of Musk over the SpaceX CEO&#8217;s opposition to Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Big Beautiful Bill&#8221; spending legislation. Tesla&#8217;s decline marked the company&#8217;s largest single-day market cap loss in history, pushing it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45805173/musk-vs-trump-tesla-suffers-record-152b-one-day-crash-as-ceo-warns-tariffs-will-cause-a-recession">out of the $1 trillion valuation club</a>.
Musk had labeled the spending bill &#8220;a disgusting abomination&#8221; on social media, warning that Trump&#8217;s proposed tariffs &#8220;will cause a recession in the second half&#8221; of 2025. The Tesla CEO criticized Congress for &#8220;spending America into bankruptcy&#8221; while questioning the bill&#8217;s fiscal impact on national debt.

Why It Matters: Trump responded aggressively on Truth Social, stating he &#8220;asked Musk to leave the White House as he was wearing thin.&#8221; The president suggested terminating <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45805173/musk-vs-trump-tesla-suffers-record-152b-one-day-crash-as-ceo-warns-tariffs-will-cause-a-recession">government subsidies and contracts</a> with Musk&#8217;s companies, which the Washington Post analysis estimates have received at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45807020/chuck-schumer-wants-siri-to-play-bad-blood-as-elon-musk-donald-trump-feud-each-other-mike-johnson-sings-a-hawkish-tune">least $38 billion in public funding</a>.
The feud escalated when Musk referenced Trump&#8217;s alleged connection to the Jeffrey Epstein files and proposed creating a third political party representing &#8220;the 80% in the middle.&#8221; 
The fallout <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45807020/chuck-schumer-wants-siri-to-play-bad-blood-as-elon-musk-donald-trump-feud-each-other-mike-johnson-sings-a-hawkish-tune">reverberated through Congress</a>, with Sen.&nbsp;Chuck Schumer&nbsp;(D-N.Y.) posting &#8220;Siri, play &#8216;Bad Blood'&#8221; on X.

Anthony Scaramucci Says Trump As A 'Political Asset Has Started Decaying' Amid Feud With Elon Musk And Tesla's Billion Dollar Wipeout: 'Mark The Day'

On Thursday, Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) cut jobs in its books division, including roles at Goodreads and Kindle.
What Happened: The company said that fewer than 100 employees were impacted by the layoffs, reported Reuters.
An Amazon spokesperson explained, "As part of our ongoing work to make our teams and programs operate more efficiently, and to better align with our business roadmap, we've made the difficult decision to eliminate a small number of roles within the Books organization."
Amazon has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/01/43352019/amazon-cuts-more-jobs-in-cost-saving-push-report">implementing job cuts gradually</a>, with recent reductions affecting its devices and services division, the Wondery podcast unit and employees in its stores and communications teams.

The e-commerce giant also added approximately 4,000 jobs in the first quarter of this year compared to the fourth quarter of last year, the report noted, citing a disclosure made last month.
Why It's Important: Last month, sportswear giant Nike Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45512822/nike-announces-layoffs-in-tech-division-shifts-focus-to-third-party-vendors">announced plans to cut jobs</a> within its technology division, choosing instead to outsource portions of the work to third-party vendors.
On Monday, more than 300 Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) employees were reportedly informed that their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45738506/microsoft-fires-hundreds-more-workers-amid-ai-fueled-growth-calls-it-positioning-the-company-for-success">positions had been eliminated</a>, adding to the approximately 6,000 job cuts the company announced last month.
Price Action: Amazon shares climbed 0.32% during Thursday&#8217;s regular trading session and saw a further gain of 0.048% in after-hours trading, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
Benzinga&#8217;s Edge Stock Rankings indicate that Amazon maintains a positive price trend across short, medium and long-term periods. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">You can view more in-depth metrics here</a>.

Amazon Cuts Jobs In Kindle, Goodreads Divisions, Terms It A 'Difficult Decision'

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is putting fresh heat on Nike Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>), one of the world's most recognisable brands, this time shedding light on the conditions faced by its workers, deep inside its globalised supply chains.
What Happened: On Thursday, Sanders trained his guns at sportswear giant, criticising its labor practices abroad, and going as far as to call it &#8220;corporate greed at its worst.&#8221;
In a post on X, the independent senator from Vermont said he met a worker at one of Nike&#8217;s factories, named Dinar, who sews 222 labels per hour onto Nike products and is paid just $202 a month.
Sanders argues that this was despite the company making $23 billion last year, and its founder amassing a fortune worth over $35 billion, and yet &#8220;Nike pays just dollars a day to the workers who make its products.&#8221;

Here, Sanders is referring to Nike&#8217;s billionaire founder, Phil Knight, with a net worth of $31.2 billion, according <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/profiles/philip-h-knight/">to</a> the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, however, the claims of how much the company &#8220;made&#8221; last year are wrong. In 2024, Nike <a href="https://investors.nike.com/investors/news-events-and-reports/investor-news/investor-news-details/2024/NIKE-Inc.-Reports-Fiscal-2024-Fourth-Quarter-and-Full-Year-Results/default.aspx">reported</a> $51.4 billion in revenue, with a profit of $5.7 billion, or $3.73 per share.
His post, nonetheless, echoes the growing concerns surrounding global supply chains and wage disparities at large multinational corporations. 
Sanders, a longtime critic of labor exploitation and income inequality, used the moment to spotlight the gulf between executive wealth and factory-level compensation.

Why It Matters: Two months ago, at the onset of President Donald Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; tariffs, Nike&#8217;s global supply chains were once again in the spotlight.
Economist Peter Schiff used the company as an example, saying that Nike would <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44640220/peter-schiff-says-nike-wont-build-factories-in-us-they-will-sell-to-countries-like-china-a-much-better-strategy-amid-trump-tariffs">not be building factories</a> in the U.S. to &#8220;manufacture its sneakers,&#8221; since the resulting costs would be &#8220;higher than the 40% tariffs,&#8221; clearly highlighting the importance of global supply chains and cheap labor for the company&#8217;s bottom line.
Nike&#8217;s shares are down 14.93% year-to-date, amid the tariffs and trade tensions, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44741043/nike-stock-tumbles-as-us-china-trade-war-intensifies-what-you-need-to-know">its key supply regions</a>, Vietnam, China, and Indonesia being subjected to reciprocal tariffs ranging from 32% to 46%, which have since been lowered, pending trade negotiations. 
Price Action: Nike shares were down 0.16% on Thursday, trading at $62.67, and are down 2.03% after hours.

According to Benzinga&#8217;s Edge Stock Rankings, shares of Nike score poorly across key ranking metrics, and the stock has an unfavorable price trend in the medium and long-terms, but fares well in the short term.

Bernie Sanders Slams Nike: Company Makes $23 Billion A Year, Workers Make $202 A Month—'Corporate Greed At Its Worst'

Stanford's "Terminator" AI fund manager beat most Wall Street pros and now threatens junior analysts' jobs, researchers say.
What Happened: The bot, built by Stanford Graduate School of Business professor Ed deHaan and Boston College colleagues, retro-tested more than 3,300 diversified mutual-fund portfolios from 1990 to 2020 and outperformed 93% of their human managers after adjusting each fund every quarter.
Researchers fed the algorithm only public data — financial statements, analyst forecasts and daily prices—mirroring what real managers saw in the pre-Internet era. Using what IBM <a href="https://www.ibm.com/think/topics/random-forest">defines</a> as a &#8220;random-forest&#8221; model, the AI repeatedly split the data into new patterns, swapped out risky positions and steered more cash into broad index funds, a move that boosted risk-adjusted returns across nearly every test case.
The bot never relied on "secret signals," deHaan <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/06/04/ai-modified-portfolios-crush-human-stock-pickers-ed-dehaan-stanford/">told</a> Fortune. Instead, it uncovered "information hiding in plain sight."
DeHaan warns that the real losers are entry-level number-crunchers. "Sitting around, crunching Excel spreadsheets is a job that will barely exist in five years," he said, arguing that automation can do a week's work in hours.

That said, it is worth adding that the study is a "thought experiment" and not live trading. The bot never faced rival algorithms or the compliance limits that constrain real funds. DeHaan says its edge would shrink once the technology spreads, echoing other research showing AI gains erode when everyone uses the same signals.
Why It Matters: The Stanford study suggests funds would have needed to quintuple fees to match the AI's performance, highlighting the pressure on managers to adopt smarter tools or vanish. Or as DeHaan puts it, the shake-out could create a market that favors the "clever human who thinks like a human and can ‘out-human' the AI.&#8221;
Goldman Sachs believes AI automation <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/opinion/25/04/44587953/will-ai-replace-us-or-redefine-us">could disrupt</a> up to 300 million jobs worldwide, a scenario that would land hardest on entry-level finance roles. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/fintech/25/02/43691876/ai-taking-stock-the-benefits-and-pitfalls-of-llms-and-their-future-applications-in-trading">Early adopters</a> contend the shift is already underway, with trading desks integrating specialist models for analysis, risk checks and execution, shaving days of work to mere minutes.
That backdrop is fueling a boom in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-robo-advisors">robo-advisors</a> and other low-cost digital platforms, while a separate report shows AI systems are already <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42465783/how-ai-is-changing-the-game-in-stock-market-analysis">parsing market data</a> with great speed and accuracy.

Stanford's 'Terminator' AI Just Beat 93% Of Human Fund Managers Using Just Public Data, Professor Warns These Entry-Level Number Crunchers Risk Extinction

Billionaires Elon Musk and Mark Cuban may not always see eye to eye, but the &#8220;Shark&#8221; responded to a suggestion by the Tesla CEO about forming a new political party in the United States.
What Happened: On Thursday, Musk asked his 220 million X followers, "Is it time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle?"
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

Cuban answered the poll with three check-mark emojis, signaling support despite months of jousting with Musk over diversity initiatives and President Donald Trump.
Cuban, the former "Shark Tank" investor, campaigned for Democratic nominee Kamala Harris in 2024 for her pro-business stance while flirting with third-party ideas of his own. In an interview with Bloomberg Original back in March 2024, Cuban said &#8220;never say never&#8221; to a future in politics, although he added he&#8217;d likely be &#8220;too old&#8221; for the work it involves.
The Cost Plus Drugs founder has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40416064/mark-cuban-says-he-would-have-used-a-magic-wand-to-get-rid-of-both-gop-and-democratic-party-consider">long blasted</a> America&#8217;s two parties and once publicly <a href="https://x.com/mcuban/status/1327010064922763264">posted</a> saying, &#8220;The political duopoly is at the heart of why we are partisan.&#8221;

Mark Cuban did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comments.
Why It Matters: Musk and Trump are embroiled in an escalated public feud, which has caused Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) to record its second-largest single-day <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45805173/musk-vs-trump-tesla-suffers-record-152b-one-day-crash-as-ceo-warns-tariffs-will-cause-a-recession">stock price plunge</a> over the past year. The Tesla CEO fired the first shot by branding President Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" a &#8220;massive, outrageous… <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45757029/elon-musk-slams-congressional-spending-bill-as-a-disgusting-abomination">disgusting abomination</a>,&#8221; warning it would explode the deficit and eventually &#8220;cause a recession&#8221;.
Economist Peter Schiff and other fiscal hawks quickly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45762787/peter-schiff-backs-musks-furious-attack-on-trumps-disgusting-budget-bill-slams-gop-hypocrisy-so-glad-hopefully-elon-can-persuade-trump-to-veto-it">echoed Musk's critique</a>, applauding the Tesla chief for calling out what they saw as Republican hypocrisy. The barrage marked a sharp break from the pair's once-cordial alliance and set the stage for an unusually <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45800612/trump-says-musk-has-trump-derangement-syndrome-as-battle-over-bill-heats-up-had-a-great-relationship-dont-know-if-we-will-anymore">personal clash</a> played out in real time on X.
Trump hit back by accusing Musk of suffering "Trump Derangement Syndrome" and claiming the billionaire only soured when the bill trimmed EV incentives—remarks he delivered while lamenting their "great" friendship might be over. Musk argued that Congress passed the 1,100-page package in the dead of night before anyone, including him, could read it, and he urged lawmakers to strip its "mountain of disgusting pork."

Mark Cuban Check Marks Elon Musk's Idea Of A New Political Party That Represents 'The Middle'

Despite the escalating public feud between Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk and President Donald Trump, analyst Dan Ives remains <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45789663/tesla-stock-tumbles-nearly-3-in-pre-market-as-elon-musk-continues-intense-attack-on-trumps-big-beautiful-bill">optimistic about the EV giant's future</a> but warns the conflict could disrupt the regulatory framework.
What Happened: The bitter dispute between Musk and Trump erupted after the tech mogul <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45805173/musk-vs-trump-tesla-suffers-record-152b-one-day-crash-as-ceo-warns-tariffs-will-cause-a-recession">criticized the president&#8217;s tax bill</a>, particularly the cuts to electric vehicle (EV) and solar tax credits.

Trump retaliated by threatening to cut Musk's government subsidies and contracts, which sent Tesla's stock plummeting by 14.26% on Thursday.
In a post on X, Musk called the president's remarks about the EV mandate "an obvious lie."&nbsp;

Despite the tensions, Ives stated, "This feud does not change our bullish view of Tesla and the autonomous view but clearly does put a fly in the ointment of the Trump regulatory framework going forward."
He called the situation a "Twilight Zone moment" in the relationship between Musk and Trump, noting, "it's not good for either side."

The three latest updates came from Wedbush, Mizuho and Wedbush again, setting an average target of $413.33, suggesting a potential upside of 44.07%.

What Happened: The selloff coincided with an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45805173/musk-vs-trump-tesla-suffers-record-152b-one-day-crash-as-ceo-warns-tariffs-will-cause-a-recession">escalating public dispute</a> between President Donald Trump and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk that has rattled both traditional and digital asset markets. 
Tesla shares plunged 14.3% on Thursday as Trump threatened to terminate billions in government contracts and subsidies for Musk&#8217;s companies, including Tesla and SpaceX.
The feud began when Musk criticized Trump&#8217;s spending bill as a &#8220;massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional abomination&#8221; on social media. Musk departed his role as senior adviser at the Department of Government Efficiency just days before the public confrontation escalated.

Massive liquidations swept crypto markets as 226,781 traders were liquidated in the past 24 hours, totaling $979.88 million in forced position closures. The liquidation wave suggests that overleveraged positions were squeezed as volatility spiked.
The CMC Crypto Fear and Greed Index registered 46, indicating neutral sentiment, down from 55 yesterday and 61 last week when markets showed greed. 
Traditional markets showed mixed signals ahead of the May jobs report on Friday. U.S. stock futures stabilized on Thursday with S&amp;P 500 Index Futures at 5,954.25, up 0.14%, Dow Jones Industrial Average Index Futures at 42,464.00, gaining 0.22%, and Nasdaq-100 Futures at 21,581.00, down 0.0058%.

Circle, Lululemon, Palantir, Broadcom, Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today (CORRECTED)

This has been a bruising week for Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk, both on the personal and professional fronts, as the public spat with President Donald Trump takes a toll on the company&#8217;s stock, alongside the billionaire entrepreneur&#8217;s personal fortune.
What Happened: On Thursday, Tesla shares dropped 14.26%, wiping out $152 billion in market capitalization, marking its biggest single-day decline. This comes as the short, tumultuous friendship between Musk and Trump comes to an abrupt end, just six short months into the new administration.
Musk&#8217;s personal fortune fell in tandem, with the Bloomberg Billionaires Index reporting a $33.9 billion decline in his net worth, to $335 billion.
However, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO still remains the richest man in the world, with Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), ranking a distant second, with a net worth of $241 billion. Yet, Musk&#8217;s fortune has been subject to volatility this past year.

The billionaire entrepreneur&#8217;s net worth, largely anchored by his 20.3% stake i<a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1318605/000110465925042659/tm252787d2_10ka.htm">n</a> the world&#8217;s largest EV maker, followed by 42% and 33% in the privately-held SpaceX and xAI Holdings, respectively, has declined by $97.9 billion, or 22.6% year-to-date, largely the result of Musk&#8217;s growing political activism.
This rout on Thursday is the result of Musk&#8217;s criticism of Trump&#8217;s &#8220;One Big, Beautiful Bill,&#8221; with a series of posts on X. One such post <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45757029/elon-musk-slams-congressional-spending-bill-as-a-disgusting-abomination">early this week</a> called it &#8220;a disgusting abomination.&#8221;

Trump has since responded to Musk&#8217;s verbal volleys, defending the GOP&#8217;s budget reconciliation bill, while saying that Musk should have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45805173/musk-vs-trump-tesla-suffers-record-152b-one-day-crash-as-ceo-warns-tariffs-will-cause-a-recession">voiced his opinions months ago</a>. 
&#8220;I don&#8217;t mind Elon turning against me, but he should have done so months ago,&#8221; Trump said. 
Why It Matters: Several prominent experts have backed Musk over his criticism of the &#8220;Big, Beautiful Bill,&#8221; echoing similar concerns. 
Leading economist and author of the Black Swan, Nassim Taleb has stated that whatever people think of Musk, they <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45795080/whatever-you-think-of-elon-musk-you-must-support-his-fight-against-the-big-beautiful-bill-says-black-swan-author-nassim-taleb">should support his stance</a> on the sweeping tax and spending bill, while stating that &#8220;The Trump budget is a lunacy, it will bankrupt America,&#8221; in a post on X.
Another economist and vocal Trump critic, Peter Schiff, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45762787/peter-schiff-backs-musks-furious-attack-on-trumps-disgusting-budget-bill-slams-gop-hypocrisy-so-glad-hopefully-elon-can-persuade-trump-to-veto-it">praised Musk&#8217;s resolve</a>, saying that &#8220;I&#8217;m so glad Elon is willing to call out the hypocrisy in the Republican party. He is a man of principle.&#8221;
Price Action: Tesla shares, as discussed above, were down 14.26% on Thursday, trading at $284.70, but are up 0.80% after hours.

Elon Musk Loses $34 Billion As Tesla Sheds $153 Billion Amid Feud With Trump—Here's How The Billionaire's Fortune Has Fared So Far In 2025

When one mother turned to Reddit to ask how to explain budget cuts to her children, she touched a nerve. Her <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/budget/comments/1l0xig9/how_to_explain_cutting_expenditures_to_kids/">post</a>, shared in r/budget, quickly drew support from parents who had been there and knew the emotional balancing act of telling kids, &#8220;We can&#8217;t afford that right now,&#8221; without sparking panic.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Framing Reality Without Fear</h2>
The original poster, a mother of two—ages 7 and 13—explained, &#8220;We need to make some big changes in our non-essential spending and get very serious about paying off credit card debt.&#8221; She emphasized the challenge of talking to her kids about the changes, particularly her 13-year-old daughter who has &#8220;a lot of anxiety and is already concerned that we're &#8216;poor.&#8217; We are not.&#8221;

Living in an affluent community makes the gap more visible. &#8220;She can <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45482749/vincent-chan-shares-tricks-people-use-to-appear-richer-than-their-friends-youre-not-behind">see the difference</a> among her friends,&#8221; the mother added, noting they have a lower household income compared to their neighbors.
Commenters shared a wealth of ideas grounded in honesty, age-appropriate financial literacy, and a focus on building security, not fear.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Be Honest, But Calm</h2>
Many commenters stressed the importance of explaining the situation without transferring stress. &#8220;Kids blow things way out of proportion and usually blame themselves for everything that goes wrong,&#8221; one person wrote. &#8220;Sitting them down and explaining things on their level is super helpful and might even alleviate some anxiety.&#8221;
Another parent shared, &#8220;We told our son that we can&#8217;t buy frivolous stuff because we have debt to pay off. It used to be hard to say no, but now he says no for us.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Turn It Into A Teachable Moment</h2>
Several Redditors recommended giving children some control in the process. &#8220;Instead of saying, we are cutting these out, tell them we have $X to spend and ask them where should it be spent?&#8221; one commenter advised. Another suggested using real money: &#8220;Breaking costs down on paper compared to our income really helped.&#8221;
Multiple people highlighted the value of free entertainment. &#8220;We have library cards now!&#8221; one commenter offered, noting many libraries offer movies, TV shows and audiobooks. Others suggested family picnics, hikes, and game nights to replace more costly outings.
One dad described how they handled the conversation with their own children: &#8220;We just let them know that while we might spend less on fun items, we were committed to ensuring they did have some fun excursions&#8230; The cost of that though, was our food choices might be limited (cutting back on extravagant items at the grocery store) and maybe we could turn that into a positive by finding recipes for snacks they can help prep in advance.&#8221;

As for the original poster, she thanked everyone in an edit, writing, &#8220;I really appreciate it, and hope this thread is also helpful to other families in the same position.&#8221;

A Mother Asks, 'How Do You Explain Cutting Back To Kids?' Her Teenage Daughter Is Already Anxious And Afraid They're 'Poor'

"The 10X Rule" author Grant Cardone has helped many people start successful businesses and build wealth with real estate. He's started several companies, but he wasn't born into wealth. Although he hasn&#8217;t been shy about showing off his wealth for several years, he is a rags-to-riches story, and he just shared a <a href="https://x.com/GrantCardone/status/1928522076320575511">big secret to building massive wealth</a>.
"Plan for 10 times greater income, profits, and net worth than you need," Cardone explained.
You can apply this advice to any area of your life, whether it's your career, finances, relationships, or another category. Here's how you can use Cardone's lesson to build wealth.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Set Higher Goals</h2>
No matter how ambitious you are, you might not be setting high enough goals. It's why Cardone advocates for 10X goals instead of 10% goals. Cardone will encourage someone who's earning $100,000 per year to figure out how they can earn $1 million per year instead of aspiring to earn $110,000 per year.
Ambitious goals offer more motivation. People work harder if the reward is justified, while a small 10% salary increase may not prompt the same level of effort and focus. Setting higher goals also ties into building a nest egg that is 10X higher than what you think you need. If you think a $2 million nest egg is enough, aim for a $20 million nest egg. That's Cardone's mentality.
Even if you don't end up with a $20 million nest egg, setting that as a target can help you exceed a $2 million nest egg. Setting ambitious goals will also make you think more carefully about how you spend your time and who you choose to spend time with.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">It's Free To Raise Your Goals</h2>
Cardone points out in his X post that you don't have to spend any money to set higher goals. You just have to change some numbers in your goal, such as your annual income or nest egg. You can also adjust how long it will take for you to achieve your goals.
Raising your goals will invite you to take more action toward your goals. This outcome is more valuable than most books or coaching calls, and you can apply it to any area of your life.
However, you should only raise goals that you can control, such as your annual income and how much you contribute to your portfolio. If you have a $1 million portfolio and want it to become a $5 million portfolio in three years, that goal can lead to high-risk investments that produce significant losses.
Instead of setting a goal like having a $1 million portfolio turn into a $5 million portfolio within a few years, focus on contributing a set amount of dollars each month. The idea is that achieving your portfolio contribution goal should help you reach your end goal, but you shouldn't chase speculative investments if you fall behind your net worth goal.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Work Harder Than The Rest</h2>
If you want to accomplish big goals, you have to work harder than the people around you. You may have to start working in the morning and stop working at night. It's even easier to embrace this lifestyle if you are a young professional who doesn't have a family yet.&nbsp;
It's important to remember that Cardone doesn't pursue money at the cost of everything else. He spends time with his family, exercises, and aims for a fulfilling life in multiple areas. Doom scrolling, putting off important goals, and spending time with the wrong people won't help you reach your long-term goals sooner.
People who work harder than the rest are usually rewarded, but not right away. It can take several months or years before all of your goals materialize.&nbsp;

What To Know: The shift became evident this week when leading discount retailers released better-than-expected earnings reports and sales growth across income levels.&nbsp;
DLTR: Dollar Tree reported a robust first quarter, with same-store net sales up 5.4%, fueled by a 2.5% increase in traffic and a 2.8% rise in average ticket size. CEO Mike Creedon said Dollar Tree's low prices are resonating with all income levels and the company saw significant growth among customers earning over $100,000 annually.&nbsp;

&#8220;History has shown that we have the resilience to emerge stronger from periods of economic uncertainty and in today&#8217;s rapidly evolving environment, we see a meaningful opportunity to further elevate the value, convenience and discovery that our customers depend on Dollar Tree to provide," Creedon said. 
DG: Dollar General<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/45775655/dollar-general-posts-convincing-q1-earning-beat-the-year-is-off-to-a-solid-start-could-mitigate-most-potential-tariff-headwinds"> posted record quarterly </a>net sales, which rose 5.3% to $10.4 billion and same-store sales were up 2.4% in the first quarter. 
CEO Todd Vasos said on the company's earnings call that the core customer remains "financially constrained," but the chain is increasingly attracting wealthier households seeking value.

Five Below also raised its fiscal earnings and revenue outlooks, indicating it sees the positive trends continuing throughout the year.&nbsp;
Why It Matters: Data from <a href="http://placer.ai">Placer.ai</a> confirms that dollar and discount stores are outperforming other retail sectors in 2025, with foot traffic up 3% year-over-year. Loyalty is also on the rise, as more shoppers visit these stores three or more times per month.&nbsp;
The trend shows inflation and economic uncertainty are pushing mainstream America to prioritize affordability and maximize their purchasing power to the benefit of dollar stores.&nbsp;

On Thursday, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45800612/trump-says-musk-has-trump-derangement-syndrome-as-battle-over-bill-heats-up-had-a-great-relationship-dont-know-if-we-will-anymore">public fallout between</a> Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk and Donald Trump escalated and sparked a wave of reactions from political leaders, including Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and other leaders, as the once-close relationship between the two men unravels.
What Happened: The rift between Musk and Trump reached a boiling point this week, following Musk's vocal criticisms of Trump's legislative agenda.
The tech mogul <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45784755/elon-musk-who-called-trumps-one-big-beautiful-bill-a-disgusting-abomination-responds-to-coinbase-ceos-warning-that-bitcoin-could-replace-dollar">publicly rejected Trump's</a> "One Big Beautiful Bill" and criticized it for exacerbating the deficit. He even suggested that it could trigger a recession.
In response, Trump said, "I don't mind Elon turning against me, but he should have done so months ago."
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/05215110/Screenshot-2025-06-06-at-7.21.05%E2%80%AFAM-1024x478.png" alt="" class="wp-image-940541" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Source: Truth Social</figcaption></figure>
Schumer took to X, formerly Twitter, and posted, "Siri, play ‘Bad Blood,'" in what appeared to be a pointed remark. In a separate post, he shared a tweet by Elon Musk, accompanied only by a popcorn emoji, signaling keen interest in the unfolding drama.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

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

Johnson also took to X, the social media site owned by Musk. Responding to Musk's post asking, "Where is the Mike Johnson of 2023!?"—alongside an old tweet of Johnson decrying the national debt.

In response, Johnson wrote, "The Mike Johnson of 2023 is the SAME Mike Johnson who has always been a lifelong fiscal hawk." He defended the proposed bill, stating that it includes the "largest mandatory spending cut to the federal government in history."

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Speaking <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-president-administration-news-06-05-25">to</a> CNN, Johnson called Musk's public attacks on Trump "not helpful," noting, "Elon is a friend&#8230; This isn't personal. Policy differences should not be personal."
However, after leaving the House floor, Johnson acknowledged the obvious: "It clearly is personal" between Musk and Trump.
Rep. Troy Nehls (R-Texas) called on Musk to halt his attacks on Trump, saying, "This tit-for-tat … isn't helping." While acknowledging Musk's talents, Nehls criticized his remarks as "irresponsible" and warned, "You've lost your mind," the report noted.
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), who voted against Trump's domestic policy bill, cautioned that the legislation is already "on life support" and could be jeopardized further in the Senate.
Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) suggested the clash was inevitable, adding, "At some point it falls on deaf ears… people are tired of hearing it."
Trying to defuse tensions, Rep. Warren Davidson (R-Ohio) said he's invited Trump, Musk, Speaker Johnson, Vice President JD Vance, and Massie to a private dinner to "mend fences," but declined to say who has responded, the report added.
Why It's Important: Shares of Tesla plunged 14.26% on Thursday to close at $284.70. In the after-hours trading, the shares gained 0.77%, according to data from <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>.
However, the sharp decline during the regular hours <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45805173/musk-vs-trump-tesla-suffers-record-152b-one-day-crash-as-ceo-warns-tariffs-will-cause-a-recession">wiped out $152 billion in value</a>. The EV giant currently has a market cap of $1.06 trillion, making it the ninth most valuable company in the world.
This happened after Trump took to Truth Social and suggested that a quick way to trim federal spending would be to eliminate Musk's government subsidies and contracts, totaling &#8220;Billions and Billions of Dollars,&#8221; he wrote.
"I was always surprised that Biden didn't do it," he added.

Musk's ventures, including Tesla and SpaceX, heavily rely on government support, ranging from regulatory credits in the automotive sector to lucrative space and defense contracts. A Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/06/05/trump-musk-fight/">analysis</a> estimates his companies have received at least $38 billion in public funding.

Chuck Schumer Wants Siri To Play 'Bad Blood' As Elon Musk, Donald Trump Feud Each Other — Mike Johnson Sings A Hawkish Tune

Cathie Wood's Ark Invest made a blockbuster purchase of Circle Internet Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRCL#NYSE">CRCL</a>) shares on Thursday, marking a significant move in the evolving digital assets landscape. The bold acquisition came as Ark simultaneously reshuffled its cryptocurrency stock portfolio, reducing exposure to other industry names. This strategic pivot follows Circle's high-profile NYSE debut and may underscore Ark's conviction in the future of stablecoins.
The Circle Trade
On Thursday, Ark Invest purchased an eye-popping 4,486,560 shares of Circle, totaling approximately $373.42 million. The transactions were made through ARK Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#BATS">ARKK</a>), ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#BATS">ARKW</a>), and Ark Fintech Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKF#BATS">ARKF</a>). For the day, Circle shares closed at $83.23, rising a whopping 168.48%. The shares rose another 5.4% in the after-hours trading to $87.71.
This move comes on the heels of Circle's impressive NYSE debut, where the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45800399/circle-surges-to-69-in-nyse-debut-raising-1-1b-as-investors-bet-on-stablecoins-going-mainstream">raised $1.1 billion</a>, signaling strong investor confidence in the mainstream adoption of stablecoins. The acquisition by Cathie Wood's team could highlight Ark's bullish outlook on the stablecoin sector, as Circle positions itself at the forefront of digital payments and blockchain innovation. The timing of the trade, closely following Circle's successful listing and capital raise, suggests Ark is betting on the company's ability to capitalize on the growing demand for regulated, transparent stablecoin solutions. 
The Palantir Trade
Ark sold 76,654 shares worth about $9.2 million of Palantir through its ARKK and ARKW funds. On Thursday, Palantir shares dropped 7.8% to $119.91. In the after-hours trading, the shares registered a 1.4% rise. The move came as Palantir CEO Alex Karp <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45800099/palantir-ceo-alex-karp-refutes-ridiculous-surveillance-reports-says-company-is-winning">addressed surveillance concerns</a> and emphasized the company's momentum in securing new contracts.
The Coinbase Trade
Ark trimmed its position by 161,304 shares in ARKK, ARKW and ARKF, a transaction valued at roughly $39.4 million.On Thursday, Coinbase shares closed at $244.20. This comes after Coinbase <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45764843/coinbase-crushed-tesla-amazon-and-other-mag-7-peers-in-recent-rally-heres-what-drove-the-stunning-comeback">outperformed major tech peers</a> in a recent rally, fueled by renewed optimism in the crypto sector.
The Robinhood Trade
Ark sold 255,327 Robinhood shares through ARKK and ARKW, amounting to $18.51 million. Robinhood shares closed at $72.51 for the day. The trade followed a period of gains for Robinhood stock, as the platform continues to evolve its offerings and attract retail investors. Robinhood shares rose Thursday after the company reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45794817/robinhood-stock-is-rising-thursday-whats-going-on">record-high platform assets</a> and trading volumes for May, along with a 40% year-over-year increase in net deposits. The stock may also get a boost from a potential inclusion in the S&amp;P 500.

Cathie Wood Drops $373 Million On Circle's 168% Rally, Dumps Coinbase And Crypto Holdings — Is Ark Ditching Bitcoin for Stablecoins?

A recent episode of &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6398lZQHDk">The Ramsey Show</a>&#8221; took a sharp turn when a caller shared how his mother took out credit cards in his name after he and his brother bought her a home.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mom Living In A Home Her Sons Bought, Son Holding The Bag</h2>
The caller, 27, explained that after his divorce, he was emotionally vulnerable and agreed to co-sign loans so his mom could buy the home she was living in. He and his brother put the mortgage in their names because his mom had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-mortgage-lenders-for-poor-credit">poor credit</a>.
&#8220;She sucks blood off of her sons,&#8221; said Dave Ramsey after hearing the details. &#8220;She's a parasite. It's a horrible thing to say about your mother. I'm so sorry. Just an observation.&#8221;

</ul>
The caller added that his mom makes minimal income and hasn't disclosed how much she earns. Meanwhile, she continues to make minimum payments on roughly $20,000 in credit card debt, all taken out under her son&#8217;s name.
"She's paying the mortgage," the caller said, but added that he constantly worries she'll stop. "I'm just waiting for the day that I get a call that, ‘Hey, your payment's due.'"
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Selling The Home To Save The Marriage</h2>
Ramsey warned the caller that if he didn't take action quickly, this financial arrangement would result in deeper personal losses.
His advice? Sell the house. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-ways-to-pay-off-credit-card-debt">Pay off all the credit cards</a>. Then, give his mom half of whatever equity remains. &#8220;You can go set yourself up a life with that,&#8221; he suggested.

Ramsey even gave him the script for the difficult conversation: &#8220;Mom, I love you, and I&#8217;ve done more for you than I should have, and I put myself and my future family in jeopardy because of you, and you continue to misbehave with this. My bills are not being paid, you&#8217;re destroying my credit and my future. We&#8217;re selling the house. Little brother, if you don&#8217;t want to sell it, you can buy me out.&#8221;
Ramsey also made it clear that the brother, who co-owns the home, should either buy him out or step aside. &#8220;If he doesn&#8217;t want to sell the house, then it&#8217;s going to be a civil court action and the judge is going to demand that the partnership be dissolved by the selling of the house,&#8221; Ramsey said.
&#8220;We&#8217;re selling the house. I&#8217;m not asking—we&#8217;re telling you. This is what we&#8217;re doing,&#8221; Ramsey added.
&#8220;This is saving your marriage, by the way,&#8221; Ramsey&#8217;s co-host, Jade Warshaw, said. The caller had just gotten married a month earlier, and this situation could become a major wedge. &#8220;Your wife is not going to sit around and let your mom be the reason that she&#8217;s not in her new house,&#8221; Warshaw added.

$1000 Invested In Tutor Perini 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

지난주, 메모리얼 데이로 단축된 월스트리트에서는 지정학적 긴장, 기업 실적  경제 데이터에 반응하여 롤러코스터 같은 움직임이 있었다. 변동성에도 불구하고 일부 ETF는 더 나은 성과를 보이며 투자자들에게 기회의 주머니를 제공했다.
또한 읽기: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/25/05/45679047/nvda-tsla-turbocharge-qqq-surge-toward-best-month-since-2023">NVDA, TSLA가 QQQ 급등을 촉진하며 2023년 이후 최고의 달을 향해 나아가다</a>
이번 주 좋은 성과를 보인 5개의 ETF
Direxion Daily Uranium Industry Bull 2X Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/URAA#NYSE">URAA</a>): 7.15% 상승
우라늄 가격이 상승세를 보였고, URAA는 우라늄 관련 주식에 2배 레버리지를 적용하여 그 모멘텀을 포착했다. 세계가 더 깨끗한 대안을 위해 원자력 에너지로 다시 돌아서는 가운데, 도널드 트럼프 대통령의 원자력 에너지 촉진으로 이 ETF는 수요와 지정학적 공급 우려에 대한 낙관으로 급등했다.
Direxion Daily MSCI South Korea Bull 3X Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KORU#NYSE">KORU</a>): 10% 상승
KORU는 한국 주식에 3배 노출되어 기술 반등과 지역 반도체 제조 능력에 대한 투자자들의 낙관으로 주도했다. 인공지능(AI)과 반도체 수출 심리는 긍정적이며 KORU의 주간 상승세에 기여했다.
VanEck Uranium and Nuclear ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NLR#NYSE">NLR</a>): 4% 상승
NLR은 원자력 에너지의 물결을 타고 있으며, URAA보다 더 다각화되고 낮은 변동성의 노출을 제공한다. 유럽과 아시아에서의 세계적인 원자력 르네상스는 우라늄 관련 인프라에 대한 투자자 수요를 촉진하고 있다.
YieldMax AI Option Income Strategy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AIYY#NYSE">AIYY</a>): 9.17% 상승
AIYY는 AI 붐을 타고 옵션 전략을 통해 AI 관련 주식에서 수익을 올리며 이익을 얻었다. 엔비디아(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)의 분기 실적이 AI 열풍을 재점화하자, 수익을 추구하는 투자자들은 스마트 기술에 대한 지능적인 내기에 이 ETF를 선택했다.
Sprott Junior Copper Miners ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COPJ#NASDAQ">COPJ</a>): 4.7% 상승
COPJ는 전 세계 공급이 안정되고 친환경 기술 및 전기차 인프라에 대한 수요가 증가함에 따라 상승한 구리 가격을 타고 있다. 일반적으로 변동성이 더 큰 주니어 구리 광산업체들은 금속의 장기 경로를 찾는 투자자들로부터 확고한 매수를 받았다.
시장 개요
월스트리트는 드라마가 가득한 한 주를 선사했으며, 시장은 낙관과 우려 사이를 오갔다. 화요일은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45627060/wall-street-rockets-as-bond-yields-drop-tesla-hits-3-month-highs-whats-driving-markets-tuesday">하락하는 채권 수익률이 광범위한 상승을 뒷받침하면서</a> 강력한 출발을 보였고, S&amp;P 500과 나스닥이 상승하며 테슬라(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)는 3개월 최고치로 급등했다.
그러나 수요일에는 투자자들이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45651401/wall-street-stalls-as-treasury-yields-climb-again-ahead-of-nvidia-earnings-fed-minutes-whats-driving-markets-wednesday">엔비디아의 실적 발표</a>와 연준 회의록 발표를 앞두고 긴장하며 모멘텀을 잃었다. 채권 수익률이 천천히 상승하며 분위기를 망쳤다.
목요일에는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45677482/stocks-edge-higher-nvidia-rallies-to-3-month-highs-bitcoin-dips-below-107000-whats-driving-markets-thursday">엔비디아가 견고한 실적을 발표하며</a> 기술 산업을 매료시켰고, 주가는 3개월 최고치로 상승하며 더 넓은 시장을 끌어올렸다. 이는 부분적으로 트럼프의 중국 수입에 대한 여러 관세를 일시적으로 차단하는 법원 결정에 의해 도움을 받았다.
모든 것이 순조로워 보일 때, 금요일에 먹구름이 드리웠다: 도널드 트럼프는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45701116/wall-street-slumps-as-trump-reignites-china-trade-tensions-nvidia-wipes-out-earnings-rally-whats-driving-markets-friday">중국과의 무역 긴장을 재점화하며 베이징이 관세 휴전을 위반했다고 비난</a>했다. 이는 투자자들을 스스로 놀라게 했고 엔비디아의 급등세를 지웠다. 비트코인은 $107,000 아래로 떨어지며 암호화폐 불안감을 더했다. 전반적으로 이번 주는 실적의 환희, 채권 시장의 불안 그리고 지정학적 데자뷰의 변동성 있는 칵테일이었다.
