The company raised full-year fiscal 2026 revenue guidance to $41-$41.3 billion versus analyst estimates of $40.83 billion.

Elon Musk says today's artificial-intelligence gold rush has inflated startup prices to &#8220;eye-watering&#8221; heights, creating &#8220;a herd of unicorns&#8221; whose valuations often eclipse their track records.
What Happened: "The minimum impulse bid for an AI startup is like $1 billion … There are so many frickin-unicorns," the billionaire told Y Combinator's AI Startup School, adding that companies "less than a year old" routinely fetch multibillion-dollar tags.
Musk contrasted the frenzy with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45985302/elon-musk-shares-best-advice-with-ai-engineers-do-this">his own experience</a> selling Zip2 for $300 million in 1999: "That was a lot at the time." Now, he said, venture investors throw ten-figure sums at fledgling firms on the mere promise of generative AI.

Market data backs him up. Research site Thunderbit counts more than 370 AI unicorns worth a combined $1 trillion, a 74 percent jump in one year. Crunchbase, on the other hand, shows early-stage startups reaching unicorn status at triple the pre-pandemic pace.

The boom has minted micro-teams with macro price tags, as chronicled in a recent Business Insider report, which profiled a dozen AI firms valued above $1 billion despite having fewer than 50 employees. Investors justify the premiums by pointing to breakout successes such as Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Alphabet Inc. (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>)-backed Anthropic, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44099466/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-nosedive-as-trumps-tariff-moves-wipe-out-crypto-reserve-fueled-gains-analyst-says-breaking-through-this-barrier-will-help-btc-touch-new-highs">now worth $61.5 billion</a> after a year of product launches and Musk's own xAI, which is already valued at $80 billion, according to Reuters.
Why It Matters: Skeptics warn the stampede could end badly. IPO analysts at PitchBook say unicorn ranks keep swelling even as public-market debuts languish. Meanwhile, Foundation Capital research shows unicorn creation up 14-fold in a decade, fueled largely by cheap money and AI hype.
Musk&#8217;s comments arrive weeks after Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei predicted at the company's Code with Claude summit that a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45602384/jeff-bezos-backed-anthropics-ceo-says-the-first-billion-dollar-company-staffed-by-one-person-will-appear-next-year-hallucinations-unlikely-to-delay-lean-startups">single-employee startup</a> will reach a $1 billion valuation by 2026. His forecast excited founders who hope large-language-model agents can replace entire departments.

The bill now heads to the House for further debate before it reaches Trump's desk for approval.

Senate Passes GENIUS Act—Coinbase's Brian Armstrong Calls It 'Big Milestone,' Scott Bessent Says Passage Could Drive Stablecoins Into A $3.7 Trillion Market

Elon Musk&#8216;s X Corp filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday against New York state, challenging the constitutionality of legislation requiring social media platforms to disclose content moderation practices for hate speech and extremism.
What Happened: The lawsuit targets the Stop Hiding Hate Act, which X claims violates First Amendment protections by forcing disclosure of &#8220;highly sensitive and controversial speech&#8221; policies, reported Reuters. The Manhattan federal court filing argues the law subjects platforms to potential lawsuits and fines up to $15,000 per violation daily.
&#8220;Deciding what content is acceptable on social media platforms engenders considerable debate among reasonable people about where to draw the correct proverbial line,&#8221; X stated in court documents. &#8220;This is not a role that the government may play.&#8221;
The law, authored by state Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal and Assemblymember Grace Lee with Anti-Defamation League support, was signed by Governor Kathy Hochul in December. It requires platforms to report progress on eliminating hate speech, disinformation, harassment, and foreign political interference, according to the report.

Why It Matters: X&#8217;s legal challenge follows similar <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/04/38477389/elon-musk-take-fight-for-free-speech-abroad-feuds-with-australia-and-brazil-over-content-restric">content moderation disputes globally</a>. The platform faces ongoing tensions with Brazil over account restrictions and recently settled with California over nearly identical disclosure requirements in February.
Musk, who acquired <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/09/40781224/elon-musk-to-be-summoned-by-uk-parliament-over-role-of-social-media-platform-x">Twitter for $44 billion in October 2022</a> and rebranded it as X, eliminated many content moderation policies while positioning himself as a &#8220;free speech absolutist.&#8221; Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) stock has faced pressure repeatedly in the past amid concerns over Musk&#8217;s X-related activities.
The complaint references legislative sponsors&#8217; criticism of X&#8217;s &#8220;disturbing record&#8221; on content moderation that &#8220;threatens the foundations of our democracy.&#8221; 
X based its constitutional challenge on a 2023 federal appeals court <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40722358/elon-musks-x-triumphs-in-appeal-over-california-law-on-content-moderation-policies-congrats-for-defe">decision that partially blocked California&#8217;s similar law</a> over free speech concerns. The legislators expressed confidence that their law would withstand judicial scrutiny, stating Musk&#8217;s resistance demonstrates the legislation&#8217;s necessity.

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) will shut down production at the Texas Gigafactory, which manufactures the Cybertruck and the Model Y, over the Independence Day weekend.
What Happened: The planned shutdown would begin on June 30, which was decided after a meeting with workers at the factory. All production activities would begin the following week, Business Insider reported <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-model-y-cybertruck-production-pause-july-4-2025-6">on</a> Tuesday.
The report suggests that the halt would help Tesla carry out some maintenance work on its production line. This is the third such halt of production lines in the past year at Elon Musk's EV giant.
The company has told the employees that they can use their paid time off or come in for voluntary training and cleaning during the production shutdown, the report said.
Why It Matters: News of the production shutdown comes as Tesla is gearing up to roll out the Robotaxi in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45942936/elon-musks-cybercab-ambitions-just-got-a-boost-as-nhtsa-eases-regulations-for-autonomous-vehicles">Austin on June 22</a>, with CEO Elon Musk saying that Tesla vehicles would drive right up to customers' houses starting June 28.
Tesla is a key player in the U.S. autonomous driving sector, as the company, with recent data suggesting that the company'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">cost for the robotaxi</a> is 1/7 that of Robotaxi rival Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) Waymo.
However, despite developments in the self-driving taxi sector as well as autonomous driving as a whole, Tesla is still dealing with<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45969242/elon-musk-has-a-new-problem-byd-beats-tesla-in-global-ev-sales-amid-europe-expansion"> falling sales figures </a>throughout the globe.

Tesla Will Shut Down Production At The Texas Gigafactory Over The 4th Of July Weekend

Steve Jobs earned a reputation for merciless standards, yet sometimes his demand for perfection came wrapped in jaw-dropping generosity.
What Happened: Ron Givens, Apple's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) director of quality from 1981 to 1986, recalled the day a secretary shuffled in late. Jobs stormed over to ask why, and she admitted her car had died that morning.
"That afternoon, he walks into her office, tosses a set of keys to a brand-new Jaguar and says, ‘Here, don't be late anymore,'" Givens told WRAL in an <a href="https://www.wral.com/story/10230791/">interview</a> back in 2011. A Jaguar XJ cost roughly $35,000 in 1981, about $123,000 in today's dollars when adjusted for inflation, making the spur-of-the-moment gift an extraordinary employee perk.
The story illustrates the paradox of Apple's co-founder, who was a boss employees feared, yet one who could motivate "out of your socks," as Givens put it. Jobs, then 26, lived and breathed the company, prowling hallways to grill engineers on pixel placement one minute and springing surprises the next.

Givens, two decades older, said he often thought Jobs's ideas were "stupid" until their brilliance clicked later. Back in 2011, he said he still kept a $1,000 Steuben-glass apple Jobs had handed him unannounced.
Why It Matters: Steve Jobs ran Apple with icy precision, insisting on "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/05/45190886/steve-jobs-warned-the-difference-between-good-and-great-software-engineers-is-50to1-admitted-firing-non-performers-was-very-painful-yet-necessary">only A players</a>" and admitting that firing weaker talent, though "very painful," was necessary to maintain high standards. His late-night demands could left teams exhausted, and Pixar's Pete Docter later said Jobs's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45943213/steve-jobs-shared-this-work-habit-with-elon-musk-and-jeff-bezos-says-pixar-exec-but-vows-never-to-repeat-it">3 am phone calls</a> were a work trait he would "never repeat."
Elon Musk openly praises that edge, agreeing with Jobs that a CEO's chief duty is "recruiting exceptional talent" rather than hand-holding staff, and he echoes Jobs's view that "the greatest people are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/42253830/elon-musk-agrees-with-steve-jobs-on-the-most-important-job-of-a-ceo-heres-what-the-legendary-apple-co-founder-had-to-say">self-managing</a>."
Not every leader wants the full Jobs playbook. Bill Gates once called comparing Musk to the "genius" Jobs a "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44780772/bill-gates-said-its-a-gross-oversimplification-to-compare-elon-musk-to-genius-steve-jobs-you-wouldnt-walk-into-a-room-and-confu">gross oversimplification</a>," warning that charisma can mask managerial chaos.

The Israel Defense Forces launched coordinated strikes against Iranian nuclear and weapons facilities near Tehran using more than 50 fighter jets, escalating Middle East tensions that have already boosted defense sector equities and oil prices.
What Happened: The IDF confirmed Tuesday it targeted a uranium centrifuge production site in Tehran designed to expand Iran&#8217;s nuclear enrichment capabilities. 
Intelligence Directorate guidance enabled precision strikes on multiple weapons manufacturing facilities producing ground-to-ground and surface-to-air missile components.
&#8220;The Iranian regime enriches uranium intended for nuclear weapons development,&#8221; the IDF stated, emphasizing that civilian nuclear programs don&#8217;t require such enrichment levels. 
The operation specifically targeted raw materials and assembly components for missiles Iran has launched toward Israel.

Israel Says It Struck Iranian Centrifuge Site, Missile Factories Near Tehran With Over 50 Jets To Disrupt Weapons Program

Anthony Scaramucci, founder and CEO of SkyBridge Capital, tapped into the ongoing debate about political integrity Tuesday by quoting former President Harry Truman.
What happened: In an X post, Scaramucci remembered words of the 33rd president of the U.S., which go like,
"I could never lend myself to any transaction, however respectable, that would commercialize on the prestige and dignity of the office of the presidency. Show me a man that gets rich by being a politician, and I&#8217;ll show you a crook."

Soon, X users converged on the post, making comparisons to rich politicians, including President Donald Trump, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/22/05/27403957/who-are-the-9-richest-presidents-of-all-time">who is the wealthiest U.S. president ever</a>, and Nancy Pelosi.

소니 그룹(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SONY#NYSE">SONY</a>)와 아폴로 글로벌 매니지먼트(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APO#NYSE">APO</a>)는 파라마운트 글로벌(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARA#NASDAQ">PARA</a>)의 재무 기록에 접근하기 위해 파라마운트 글로벌과 논의 중인 것으로 알려졌으며, 이는 잠재적으로 260억 달러 규모의 인수로 이어질 수 있다.
사건의 전말 (What Happened): 파라마운트 글로벌은 현재 이 미국 미디어 기업 인수에 관심이 있는 소니와 아폴로와 재무 정보를 공유하기 위해 협상 중이라고 로이터통신이 이 문제에 정통한 소식통들을 인용해 보도했다.
이 기밀 논의는 민감한 상업 데이터의 교환을 허용하는 비공개 계약 조건을 마무리하는 것을 목표로 한다.
이 회사의 옵션 평가를 담당하는 파라마운트 특별 위원회는 최근 스카이댄스 미디어(Skydance Media)의 독점 기간 만료를 허용했다. 이로 인해 소니와 아폴로가 잠재적으로 260억 달러의 제안을 확고히 하고 스카이댄스 미디어의 경쟁 입찰에 도전할 수 있는 문이 열렸다.
그러나 이 소식통들은 진행 중인 논의가 거래를 보장하지는 않는다고 경고했다. 이 보도에 따르면 실제로 파라마운트의 특별위원회 대변인은 이에 대해 언급을 하지 않았다.
투자자는 WBI BullBear Quality 3000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBIL#NYSE">WBIL</a>)과 BlackRock Large Cap Core ETF(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLCR#NASDAQ">BLCR</a>)를 통해 소니에 노출될 수 있다.
이 사건의 중요성 (Why It Matters): 파라마운트의 재정에 소니와 아폴로가 관심을 갖고 있다는 소식은 인수를 처리할 소니의 재정 능력에 대한 우려가 있는 가운데 나온 것이다. 화요일 보고서에 따르면 이 제안된 거래는 소니의 현재 보유 현금을 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/05/38670043/sonys-bold-26b-paramount-bid-raises-eyebrows-can-they-finance-it">초과</a>하여 주가가 크게 하락했다고 한다.
이러한 우려에도 불구하고 시장 분석가들은 보다 명확한 자금 조달 계획이 거래의 잠재적 이익에 초점을 맞출 수 있다고 제안한다. 파라마운트, 소니, 아폴로 간의 진행 중인 논의 소식은 인수 자금 조달을 위한 소니의 전략에 대한 추가 통찰력을 제공할 수 있다.
5월 3일 보도된 바와 같이, 파라마운트의 주가는 소니와 아폴로의 입찰 발표 이후 급등했다. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/05/38620198/paramount-shares-jump-on-sony-apollo-bid-all-eyes-turn-to-shari-redstone-who-will-decide-me">스카이댄스 미디어</a>의 독점 기간 만료도 파라마운트의 미래를 둘러싼 추측을 가중시켰다.
