Billionaire investor Mark Cuban took another shot at Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick in his latest post. Over the weekend, Cuban took to <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/mcuban.bsky.social/post/3lovvp2fzcc2j">Bluesky</a> to mock Lutnick, writing, "I wonder which Time Share company Howard Lutnick is going to get a job in sales at."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Lutnick&#8217;s Controversial Tenure</h2>
Cuban&#8217;s jab comes on the heels of a series of critical comments he&#8217;s made about Lutnick's tenure as commerce secretary. In March, for instance, Cuban questioned Lutnick&#8217;s effectiveness, <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/mcuban.bsky.social/post/3lkxkj5mhnc2o">asking</a>, "Has Howard Lutnick done anything of value as Commerce Secretary?" The remark was a response to Lutnick&#8217;s recent controversial interviews and public comments.

</ul>
One of the key points of contention is Lutnick&#8217;s approach to tariffs and trade. In a March <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3ljpthdit7k24">CNBC</a> interview, Lutnick defended the Trump administration's tariff strategy, emphasizing its potential to boost U.S. manufacturing. Cuban shot back on <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:y5xyloyy7s4a2bwfeimj7r3b/post/3ljqszshvvc2k">Bluesky</a>, saying, "Someone needs to explain to our Sec of Commerce how capitalism works." He added, "America has a global trade surplus on services. Services have the highest margins and profits of our exports. That is where capital and expertise are focused."
Cuban's critiques highlight a fundamental disagreement over the direction of U.S. trade policy. Lutnick has been a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump&#8217;s tariffs, arguing that they are necessary to address the $1.2 trillion U.S. trade deficit. He defended this approach in a Sunday <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lx5YKNttzU">CNN</a> interview, describing the deficit as unsustainable and claiming that tariffs will help create balanced trade. "The president wants balanced and fair trade, and tariffs are the tool to create balanced and fair trade," Lutnick said.

Cuban has consistently resisted this, arguing that the U.S. should concentrate more on its robust services industry, which he claims is more lucrative and a better long-term investment for economic expansion. He also criticized Lutnick&#8217;s recent comments about Social Security, where Lutnick suggested that people who complain about missed checks might be fraudsters, sparking significant backlash.
"My mother-in-law, who&#8217;s 94, she wouldn&#8217;t call and complain. She just wouldn&#8217;t," Lutnick said on the "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=182ckTL2KBA">All-In Podcast</a>" in March. "A fraudster always makes the loudest noise, screaming, yelling and complaining."
The latest trade developments also add context to Cuban&#8217;s criticism. This week, the U.S. and China agreed to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45342343/us-stock-futures-rise-as-us-china-agree-to-90-day-tariff-pause-wider-earnings-growth-should-drive-more-balanced-market-performance-says-expert">90-day tariff reduction pause</a>, with the U.S. lowering tariffs on Chinese goods from 145% to 30% and China cutting duties on U.S. products from 125% to 10%. The deal, which allows for ongoing economic discussions, underscores the ongoing challenges in balancing U.S. trade interests.
Cuban&#8217;s pointed comments suggest he remains skeptical of Lutnick's approach, framing it as disconnected from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44756759/new-research-shows-donald-trumps-25-tariffs-could-cost-auto-companies-108billion-report">economic realities</a> faced by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44347512/wait-tariffs-are-just-a-tax-on-us-employee-shocked-as-small-business-owner-cuts-his-hours-because-of-the-tariffs">most Americans</a>. His critiques echo broader concerns about the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45254241/recession-could-originate-at-the-port-of-los-angeles-warns-economist-calling-tariff-decision-a-misapplied-consumption-tax-on-households">potential economic fallout</a> from ongoing trade disputes and the effectiveness of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45338243/stephen-miller-says-history-will-record-trumps-tariffs-as-the-start-of-saving-the-west-from-chinas-economic-domination">tariffs as a long-term strategy</a>.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Chipotle Mexican Grill Stock In The Last 15 Years

Wall Street extended its rally on Tuesday as easing trade tensions between the U.S. and China and softer inflation data boosted investor confidence. In fact, the S&amp;P 500 reclaimed positive territory for 2025 and closed 0.7%<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45379707/sp-500-to-6500-goldman-sachs-trims-recession-odds-as-trump-backs-off-on-tariffs"> higher on the day.</a>&nbsp;
What To Know: The market is flashing another bullish signal that could indicate even more gains ahead, according to Ryan Detrick, chief market strategist for the Carson Group.&nbsp;
Detrick observed that on Tuesday, more than 60% of the components in the S&amp;P 500 are hitting new 20-day highs and pointed to a historically bullish year following this rare occurrence.

"This is quite rare and rather bullish. Strong performance across the board and higher a year later 18 out of 18 times," Detrick wrote<a href="https://x.com/RyanDetrick/status/1922361671332303080"> in a post</a> on X.&nbsp;

Detrick posted a chart from Carson Investment Research, which shows the last time more than 60% of S&amp;P 500 components reached a new 20-day high was on Dec. 1, 2023. Twelve months later, the S&amp;P 500 was 31.7% higher. 
The same chart indicates that this signal has flashed 18 times since 1982, and each time the S&amp;P 500 was higher 12 months later with an average gain of 18.6%.&nbsp;
What Drove The Action: First Solar Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NASDAQ">FSLR</a>) soared almost 23% and was the biggest gainer in the S&amp;P 500 on Tuesday, on favorable U.S.<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/25/05/45381191/first-solar-eyes-best-2-day-rally-since-2013-after-gop-tax-plan-spares-key-clean-energy-credits"> policy developments</a> for domestic solar manufacturers.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) says American workers are frustrated and they have a good reason to be.&nbsp;
In a recent <a href="https://x.com/BernieSanders/status/1919106487508414676">post on X</a>, Sanders pointed out that despite decades of rising worker productivity, inflation-adjusted wages are lower today than they were 52 years ago. At the same time, he noted a massive transfer of wealth from the bottom 90% to the top 1%, calling the situation unacceptable. "The status quo is NOT working. We need real change," he wrote.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Growing Gap Between Productivity and Pay</h2>
The Economic Policy Institute backs up Sanders&#8217; claims. According to a recent EPI <a href="https://www.epi.org/productivity-pay-gap/">report</a>, U.S. productivity has surged by 86.5% from 1979 to 2024, while hourly pay for typical workers only grew by 31.7% over the same period. That means productivity has grown nearly three times faster than wages, creating a wide gap between the value workers produce and what they take home.
The EPI argues this gap is not an accident but a result of policy decisions that reduced worker bargaining power, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/42918620/unions-should-brace-for-competition-what-trumps-labor-revolution-means-for-workers">weakened unions</a>, and shifted more wealth to capital owners. The report points out that this shift has resulted in slower economic growth overall, with typical workers missing out on the benefits of rising productivity.
"The growing wedge between productivity and typical workers' pay is income going everywhere but the paychecks of the bottom 80% of workers," the EPI said. "If it didn't end up in paychecks of typical workers, where did all the income growth implied by the rising productivity line go? Two places, basically. It went into the salaries of highly paid corporate and professional employees. And it went into higher profits (returns to shareholders and other wealth owners)."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Longer Hours, Shorter Lives</h2>
Sanders has also recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44302734/bernie-sanders-says-stress-kills-as-he-highlights-a-7-year-life-expectancy-gap-between-the-working-class-and-the-wealthy">raised concerns about the health impact</a> of economic stress. In a recent <a href="https://www.sanders.senate.gov/wp-content/uploads/3.7.2025-Life-Expectancy-Working-Class-Report_final.pdf">report</a> from the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, he highlighted a growing life expectancy gap between the wealthy and the working class. The report found that Americans in the wealthiest 1% of counties live an average of 84.3 years, while those in the bottom 50% of counties live only 77.4 years.
One stark example from the report shows that Loudoun County, Virginia, one of the wealthiest counties in the U.S., has a life expectancy of 84 years, while McDowell County, West Virginia, one of the poorest, has a life expectancy of just 69 years—a 15-year difference despite being only about 350 miles apart.
"Stress kills," Sanders said, adding that these disparities are unacceptable in a wealthy country like the U.S. "The massive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43351521/2025-is-the-year-the-wealth-disparity-gets-much-worse-viral-finance-influencer-explains-the-trump-economic-effect">income and wealth inequality</a> that exists in America today is not just an economic issue, it is literally a matter of life and death."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Closing the Gap</h2>
To address these issues, Sanders has proposed a series of policy changes aimed at boosting workers&#8217; pay and improving their quality of life. These include <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/04/45028145/joe-rogan-agrees-with-bernie-sanders-saying-hes-right-that-you-should-be-scared-of-oligarchs-they-shouldnt-be-running-the-government">raising the minimum wage to at least $17 an hour</a>, implementing Medicare for All, expanding Social Security, providing paid family leave, and making education more affordable.
Sanders argues that these steps are essential if the U.S. is to close the growing gap between the rich and the working class and ensure that all Americans can share in the nation&#8217;s prosperity.

What Happened: A first season of "Beast Games" set several records, including 44 Guinness World Records, and had a massive $10 million payout to the winner from 1,000 contestants, but also created a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/02/43903423/mrbeast-calls-his-amazon-deal-for-beast-games-a-financial-mistake-this-is-the-price-you-have-to-pay">financial loss for MrBeast.</a>
The content creator, also known as Jimmy Donaldson, announced on social media that "Beast Games" has been renewed for two more seasons with Prime Video.
"Y'all are not ready for the big stuff we have planned," MrBeast <a href="https://x.com/MrBeast/status/1922068781058109819">said </a>in the post.

A user asked MrBeast how he can make the show "go bigger" without the fear of going bankrupt, while asking about his loss on the first season.
"Going bigger is my specialty, that's the least of my concerns haha. Yeah, ideally don't lose 8 figures though," MrBeast replied.
The first season was the most-watched unscripted series on Prime Video, according to a <a href="https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/mrbeast-beast-games-renewed-two-seasons-prime-video-1236392387/">report </a>from Variety. The series had 50 million viewers in the first 25 days after its Dec. 19 premiere.
MrBeast has 32.5 million followers on X and 394 million subscribers on YouTube, ranking as the top followed account on the video platform.
The popularity of the content creator helped boost viewership for Prime Video and could do the same for two more seasons.

What's Next: Based on the "Beast Games" <a href="https://www.beastgames.com/">website</a>, it looks like season 2 is still casting.

Contestants must also be free of any obligations including personal, family or work during the designated time period of filming for the show. Another interesting casting nugget is that any current candidates for public office or people intending to run for public office within one year as of July 1, 2026, can not participate in the show.
To get cast on the second season of "Beast Games," contestants need to submit their information along with a one-minute video about themselves that includes answers to some of the following questions:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>"What was your favorite challenge from BEAST GAMES Season 1, and why?</li>
<li>"Who was your favorite contestant from Season 1, and what made them stand out to you?</li>
<li>"What makes you an unforgettable competitor?"</li>
<li>"What would you do with $5,000,000?"</li>
</ul>
Contestants on "Beast Games" are tested with challenges that are physical, mental and social and are also offered bribes to leave the game along the way.
