Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) has filed a lawsuit against YouTuber Jon Prosser and collaborator Michael Ramacciotti, alleging they misappropriated trade secrets tied <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45941076/apples-wwdc-2025-unveiling-ios-26-liquid-glass-interface-and-carplay-enhancements">to the unreleased</a> iOS 26 by secretly accessing a confidential development iPhone.
What Happened: According to Apple's complaint, filed this week and published on Scribd, the leak stemmed from an internal iPhone used by Apple employee Ethan Lipnik, who is now terminated, <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2025/07/17/apple-sues-jon-prosser-ios-26-leaks/">reported</a> MacRumors.
The tech giant alleges Ramacciotti, a friend of Lipnik's, gained unauthorized access to the prototype device using Lipnik's passcode and timed the entry for when Lipnik would be away.
Apple claims Ramacciotti then made a FaceTime call to Prosser, during which he displayed the unreleased iOS 26 interface, including its redesigned Camera and Messages apps, as well as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45852236/steve-jobs-would-have-fired-everyone-apples-liquid-glass-in-ios-26-gets-roasted-online-dan-ives-calls-wwdc-2025-a-yawner">the new "Liquid Glass" UI</a>.

Prosser allegedly screen-recorded the call and later used the footage to create "re-created renderings" showcased in several YouTube videos.
Prosser's January, March and April videos featured elements later seen in Apple's WWDC unveiling, prompting Apple to act. The company says the development iPhone contained further confidential features that haven't yet been disclosed, and it's unclear how much of this data is now in the pair's possession.
Prosser responded to the allegations on X, formerly Twitter, saying he was "unaware of the situation playing out" and looks forward to discussing it with Apple.

Why It's Important: Earlier this year, Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) issued a strong internal warning against employee leaks after CEO Mark Zuckerberg's comments from an all-hands <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/01/43375144/meta-vows-to-fire-leakers-after-mark-zuckerbergs-private-comments-made-public-ceo-says-it-sks">meeting were leaked</a>.
In a memo, Chief Information Security Officer Guy Rosen stressed that leaks hurt morale and productivity and warned of possible terminations. Zuckerberg, frustrated by repeated leaks, said they undermine the company&#8217;s openness.
Price Action: Apple shares have fallen 13.87% year-to-date and are down 6.32% over the past 12 months.

According to Benzinga&#8217;s Edge Stock Rankings, AAPL maintains steady upward momentum in the short and medium term but shows a downward trend over the long term.

Insights From Analysts:
A key takeaway for investors, according to Scott Wren, Senior Global Market Strategist at Wells Fargo Investment Institute, is the certainty of rising tariffs on numerous U.S. trading partners in the near and intermediate terms. While the recent &#8220;One Big Beautiful Bill Act&#8221; momentarily sidelined trade concerns, tariffs are firmly back on the policy agenda.
As the second-quarter earnings season unfolds, corporate profitability will be under intense scrutiny. Wells Fargo anticipates a mid-single-digit earnings growth rate for the second quarter, a slowdown from the previous quarter, reflecting both a slightly softer economy and the emerging tariff headwinds.
While some companies have benefited from &#8220;buying ahead&#8221; to mitigate tariff impacts, others are now feeling the pressure on their bottom lines.
Wren highlights that S&amp;P 500 companies have generally enjoyed robust operating profit margins, around 14-15% since late 2021, exceeding the long-term average. This provides some capacity to absorb tariff costs. However, investors will be keenly focused on how much of these additional expenses will be passed on to consumers and the ultimate impact on earnings.
Wells Fargo continues to favor Information Technology and Communication Services for their expected strong earnings. They also see improved comparisons later this year and into 2026 for Energy, Utilities, and Financials.
For now, the firm suggests trimming overvalued sectors like Industrials, Consumer Discretionary, and U.S. Small Cap Equities, anticipating better buying opportunities towards the end of the year and into 2026.
Meanwhile, Ryan Detrick from Carson Research highlighted that the S&amp;P 500 made its ninth all-time high on Thursday.
&#8220;Since 1957 (when it became 500 stocks) today was ATH number 1,250,&#8221; he added.

US Stocks Likely To Open Higher After Scaling Record Close: American Express, 3M, Charles Schwab Earnings In Focus

BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BCLI#NASDAQ">BCLI</a>) shares crashed 42.74% to $0.67 in after-hours trading on Friday after the company announced its voluntary delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BCLI">how BCLI stock is trading here</a>.
What Happened: The biotechnology firm received formal notification from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC that its common stock will be suspended from trading at market open on Friday. 
The delisting stems from non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires maintaining minimum shareholder equity.
BrainStorm&#8217;s stock has declined 45.33% year-to-date, closing Thursday at $1.17 before the after-hours selloff. The company has secured approval to trade on the OTCQB Venture Market under the same BCLI ticker symbol, effective Friday.
&#8220;While this delisting from Nasdaq is a challenging outcome, we want to assure our shareholders and the patient community that it does not alter our core mission,&#8221; said CEO Chaim Lebovits in a statement. The company emphasized its continued focus on developing NurOwn, its lead investigational therapy for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

CEO of BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics, Chaim Lebovits, on the company&#8217;s delisting stated, &#8220;While this delisting from NASDAQ is a challenging outcome, we want to assure our shareholders and the patient community that it does not alter our core mission or our unwavering commitment to advancing NurOwn for ALS patients.&#8221;
Why It Matters: BrainStorm develops autologous adult stem cell therapies for neurodegenerative diseases. Its proprietary NurOwn platform uses mesenchymal stem cells to produce neurotrophic factor-secreting cells designed to treat ALS patients. The therapy has received Orphan Drug designation from both the FDA and European Medicines Agency.
The company completed a Phase 3 ALS trial and plans to launch a Phase 3b trial under a Special Protocol Assessment agreement with the FDA. BrainStorm also conducted a Phase 2 trial for progressive multiple sclerosis, supported by a National MS Society grant.
The delisting does not impact business operations or research programs, according to the company. 
Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings indicate BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics has a positive short-term price trend. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-4/#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Track the performance of other players</a> in this segment.

BP plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BP#NYSE">BP</a>) announced Friday that it will <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bp.com/en/global/corporate/news-and-insights/press-releases/bp-agrees-to-sell-us-onshore-wind-business-to-ls-power.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">sell its entire U.S. onshore wind energy portfolio</a> to LS Power, a New York-based energy infrastructure firm. This move is part of a broader strategy to streamline operations and prioritize targeted low-carbon investments.
The deal covers 10 wind farms across seven states with a total capacity of 1.3 gigawatts. This move is part of BP&#8217;s $20 billion divestment plan, which aims to refocus capital allocation.
William Lin, executive vice president for gas and low carbon energy at BP, said the assets and workforce were strong, but the company concluded that &#8220;we are no longer the best owners to take it forward.&#8221; He expressed confidence in LS Power&#8217;s ability to scale the wind business while supporting bp&#8217;s transitioning staff.

LS Power plans to integrate the wind projects into its clean energy portfolio, which already spans 21GW of power generation and extensive transmission infrastructure. Paul Segal, CEO of LS Power, described the acquisition as a strategic expansion to meet rising energy demand through well-contracted renewable assets.
The sale is expected to close by year-end, pending regulatory approvals. So far in 2025, BP has completed or signed $1.5 billion in divestments and aims to hit $3–4 billion by year-end, with further updates due in its second-quarter earnings report.
This decision follows BP&#8217;s recent warning about a potential earnings dip tied to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46365707/bp-braces-for-profit-hit-as-oil-prices-decline" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">sliding oil prices</a>, highlighting the company&#8217;s pivot toward more resilient and efficient operations.
Investors may also consider the iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ICLN#NASDAQ">ICLN</a>) and the First Trust Global Wind Energy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FAN#NYSE">FAN</a>) for broader exposure.
Price Action: At the last check on Friday, BP shares were trading higher by 0.31% to $32.19 premarket.

What Happened: "I think there's a chance it's going to be Anduril," Luckey <a href="https://x.com/reindsummit/status/1945886411099402508">said</a> at the Reindustrialize Summit this week, noting talks with chipmakers, assemblers and other suppliers.
Luckey, who addressed the Detroit conference via telepresence robot, cautioned that the effort would hinge on outside partners. "Some things Anduril has to do; other things we'd rather have other people do." He ruled out building the firm's own humanoid robot, saying collaboration delivers tools faster.
Luckey mentioned that Anduril has held conversations with &#8220;everyone you would need to have to do that,&#8221; including people &#8220;on the chip side, on the assembly side, on the manufacturing side.&#8221;
U.S.‑built PCs are not novel. Dell once ran assembly lines in Miami, Nashville and Winston‑Salem, North Carolina, but closed the latter in 2009 as production moved abroad, reports Reuters.

Why It Matters: Anduril, founded in 2017, has grown around autonomous drones, underwater vehicles and its AI‑driven Lattice battlefield software. The company recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/market-summary/25/06/45810158/anduril-raises-2-5-billion-at-30-5-billion-valuation-doubling-in-a-year-as-defense-contracts-grow">raised $2.5 billion</a> at a $30.5 billion valuation and is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/ipos/25/06/45877601/anduril-ceo-palmer-luckey-confirms-ipo-plans-to-compete-for-trillion-dollar-defense-contracts-we-are-definitely-going-to-be-a-publicly-traded">eyeing an IPO</a> to chase "trillion‑dollar" Pentagon work.
Contracts are piling up. The Marine Corps awarded Anduril a 10‑year deal worth up to $642 million for counter‑drone systems in March this year, <a href="https://www.defenseone.com/business/2025/03/anduril-wins-642m-marines-counter-drone-tech-contract/403635/">says</a> Defense One, while the Pentagon last fall signed a $250 million order for the firm's reusable Roadrunner interceptor. The Army has also tapped Anduril to supply small uncrewed aircraft systems to brigade units.
On the tech front, Anduril is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/05/45687185/mark-zuckerbergs-meta-reunites-with-palmer-luckey-to-equip-us-soldiers-with-eagleeye-an-ai-powered-combat-headset-that-can-detect-drones">partnering with Meta</a> to build extended‑reality combat headsets that plug into Lattice and has linked with Germany's Rheinmetall to co‑develop autonomous air systems for Europe.
Whether Anduril ultimately stamps "Made in America" on a desktop or laptop remains uncertain. Luckey joked that the machine's working codename is "pro‑American and a gambling reference," adding that it will only ship if domestic partners can beat overseas rivals on cost and security.

Palmer Luckey Says 'There's A Chance' Anduril Launches American-Made Computers Soon, Rules Out Chance Of A Humanoid Robot

Elon Musk-led artificial intelligence company, xAI, unveiled new technology that will help the company "sustainably" cool its Memphis data center.
What Happened: Taking to social media platform X on Thursday, the company announced it was constructing "the world's largest ceramic membrane bioreactor (MBR) to sustainably supply 13 million gallons per day of cooling water to our Colossus Supercomputer."
A Membrane Bioreactor is a combination of technologies used in wastewater treatment by microfiltration or ultrafiltration with a biological wastewater treatment process in which biological organisms or enzymes are used to filter the water.
xAI says the cooling apparatus will use untreated wastewater from a nearby wastewater treatment plant to cool the Colossus Supercomputer facility.

Elon Musk's xAI Unveils 'Sustainable' Way To Cool Memphis Data Center Amid Criticism From Environmental Rights Groups

Amid the raging controversy over the Jeffrey Epstein client list, cryptocurrency bettors increased their odds that the Trump administration would release undisclosed files related to the convicted sex offender by the end of the month.
What happened: The Polymarket odds for the betting contract titled "Will Trump release more Epstein files before August?" <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/will-trump-release-more-epstein-files-before-august?tid=1752821078320">jumped </a>11 percentage points to 22% in the last 24 hours.&nbsp;
Furthermore, the odds of the files being disclosed by the end of August climbed by 7 percentage points to 48%, while the odds of them being released before year-end rose 15 percentage points to 65%.
Bookmakers have wagered more than $156,000 on the July 31 bet. This market will resolve to &#8220;Yes&#8221; if the government publicly releases any files pertaining to the illegal activities of Epstein.
Polymarket, based on Polygon (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">POL</a>), allows users to buy "Yes" and "No" shares using USDC (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>) stablecoin. The shares representing the correct outcome are paid out $1 USDC each upon resolution.
Note that Polymarket is currently unavailable to U.S. residents due to regulatory restrictions.

Why It Matters: The fluctuations come after Trump threatened to sue the Wall Street Journal over a <a href="https://www.wsj.com/">report</a> alleging that he sent a lewd birthday letter to Epstein in 2003, three years before the latter was arrested for prostitution-related offenses.
Trump called the report &#8220;fake&#8221; on his Truth Social platform and added that those were not his words.

Trump also asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to release some files from Epstein&#8217;s criminal case related to his grand jury testimony.

Jeffrey Epstein Row: Polymarket Bettors See Higher Odds Of Trump Administration Releasing Undisclosed Documents This Month

A group of U.S. solar panel manufacturers has called on the Commerce Department&nbsp;to impose tariffs on imports&nbsp;from Indonesia, India, and Laos. The manufacturers allege that these countries are saturating the market with low-cost goods.
What Happened: The group, known as the Alliance for American Solar Manufacturing and Trade, which includes First Solar (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NASDAQ">FSLR</a>), Qcells, the solar division of Hanwha from Korea, Talon PV and Mission Solar, accuses these countries of selling solar cells below production cost in the U.S. market.
The petition also alleges that Chinese-owned firms have relocated production to Indonesia and Laos to evade U.S. tariffs and accuses Indian manufacturers of similar practices.
Check out the current price of&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.com/quote/FSLR" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">FSLR stock here</a>.
The group has previously succeeded in securing tariffs on imports from Southeast Asia, including Malaysia, Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand. The petition claims that imports from the three nations under scrutiny increased from $289 million in 2022 to $1.6 billion last year.
&#8220;We&nbsp;have always said, vigorous enforcement&nbsp;of our trade laws is&nbsp;critical to the success of&nbsp;this industry," said&nbsp;Tim Brightbill, lead attorney for&nbsp;the petitioners.

Why It Matters: U.S. solar manufacturing capacity has expanded notably since the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act introduced tax credits to encourage reduced dependence on Chinese-made products. However, the current production levels still fall short of meeting the overall demand of the U.S. solar market. 
Earlier in July, President Donald Trump&#8216;s &#8216;One Big Beautiful Bill&#8217; was&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/07/46300815/solar-stocks-get-a-reprieve-as-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-lands-softer-than-feared">expected to impact</a>&nbsp;the renewable energy sector. However, the impact on key players was predicted to be less severe than initially feared.
Notably, Chinese solar companies are facing growing challenges in the U.S. due to rising anti-China sentiment and stricter regulations. Before that, in May, the security of U.S. solar companies was&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45429266/solar-security-alert-communication-devices-discovered-in-chinese-inverters-heres-the-stocks-that-could-be-affected">brought into focus</a>&nbsp;as Chinese polysilicon communication devices were found in critical renewable energy infrastructure, sparking national security concerns.
A newly signed tax and spending bill under President Trump further tightens restrictions on Chinese involvement in the American energy sector, alongside a Section 232 investigation into Chinese polysilicon.
Despite these challenges, the U.S. solar industry has continued to grow, with the Commerce Department&nbsp;<a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/us-solar-panel-makers-seek-tariffs-imports-indonesia-india-laos-2025-07-17/">expected to decide</a>&nbsp;on&nbsp;whether to initiate an investigation&nbsp;into imposing tariffs within 20 days.

First Solar, Other US Solar Firms Urge Trump Administration To Impose Tariffs On Solar Cell Imports From Indonesia, India, Laos

Deutsche Bank has significantly raised its stock price target for MP Materials Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MP#NYSE">MP</a>) following a strategic investment from the Defense Department and a substantial contract with Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>).
What Happened: Deutsche Bank has more than tripled its stock price target for MP Materials, a rare-earth miner. The company&#8217;s shares are now projected to rise to $67, a substantial increase from the previous target of $20. This new target suggests an 11.18% upside from the closing price of $60.26 per share on Thursday, as <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/17/mp-materials-defense-department-pentagon-apple-rare-earth-critical-mineral.html">reported</a> by CNBC.
The Pentagon&#8217;s strategic investment in MP Materials and Apple&#8217;s $500 million deal to purchase rare earth magnets from the company have significantly reduced the company&#8217;s operational risks, according to Deutsche Bank analyst&nbsp;Corinne Blanchard.
Blanchard stated, &#8220;The&nbsp;stock has now priced in&nbsp;the catalyst, and other potential&nbsp;catalysts are on the medium-term,&#8221; as she maintained the hold rating on MP.

Why It Matters: The rare earth minerals industry has been under the spotlight due to the U.S. government&#8217;s efforts to reduce its reliance on Chinese supply. This has led to a surge in the stock prices of companies in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46429330/why-usa-rare-earth-usar-stock-is-skyrocketing-today">domestic critical minerals sector</a>, such as&nbsp;USA Rare Earth Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USAR#NASDAQ">USAR</a>)
Despite the challenges, experts believe that the U.S. has&nbsp;multiple options to establish a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45005825/us-has-tons-of-solutions-to-secure-rare-earth-production-if-china-halts-exports-experts-say-but-warn-of-significant-challenges">domestic supply chain</a> for rare earths&nbsp;within the next five years to replace China&#8217;s global monopoly. This includes substitutes for the seven restricted rare earths and the majority of the 17 rare earth elements and 50 critical minerals being present in the U.S.
As the U.S. faces a critical vulnerability in its supply chain concerning <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46214341/china-showed-its-death-grip-on-rare-earths-during-trump-tariff-war-but-craig-shapiro-says-this-2-billion-plan-will-secure-us-supply-heres-how">rare earth supply</a>, economist&nbsp;Craig Shapiro&nbsp;asserts that this situation is fixable, and at a surprisingly manageable cost. This is evident in the recent developments at MP Materials, which have positioned the company as a strategic asset for the U.S.
Price Action: Apple closed Thursday at $210.02, slipping 0.06%, and edged up 0.10% in after-hours trading. MP Materials finished the day at $60.26, rising 2.92%, with an additional 0.56% gain after hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Apple's $500 Million Rare Earth Deal With MP Materials Pushes Deutsche Bank To Triple Price Target — Analyst Says Catalyst 'Priced In'

Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>) Labs, has hailed the passage of the GENIUS Act as a &#8220;transformational legislation&#8221; that marks a historic turning point for the U.S. financial sector, drawing parallels to the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010.
What Happened: In a post on X, Garlinghouse celebrated the bill's 308-122 House approval, noting it ends a 15-year gap since the last major financial regulation, positioning the U.S. as a leader in innovative financial technology, particularly stablecoins.
The Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins or GENIUS Act, set for signing by President Donald Trump on Friday afternoon at the White House, establishes a regulatory framework for stablecoins—cryptocurrencies pegged to assets like the U.S. dollar.
Garlinghouse, whose company's XRP Ledger underpins the XRP cryptocurrency, recently hit a new all-time high of $$3.84, sees this as a boon for Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin.
He thanked bipartisan leaders, including Rep. French Hill and Speaker Johnson, for their support, reflecting the bill's unexpected cross-party backing.
Garlinghouse's comparison to Dodd-Frank, enacted post-2008 financial crisis, underscores the GENIUS Act's significance.
While Dodd-Frank aimed to stabilize traditional finance, the new legislation targets the crypto boom, with the stablecoin market projected to reach $1.6-$3.7 trillion by 2030, <a href="https://commonwealthchamber.com/citi-eyes-stablecoin-launch-as-it-predicts-3-7t-market-by-2030/#:~:text=The%20bank's%20research%20arm%2C%20Citi,are%20exploring%20crypto%20custody%20solutions.">per</a> Citigroup.

Why It Matters: Apart from Garlinghouse, SEC Chair Paul Atkins also deemed the passage of the GENIUS Act, also known as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46484988/us-house-passes-crucial-crypto-bills-from-sec-chair-paul-atkins-to-coinbase-ceo-brian-armstrong-heres-how-everyone-reacted">stablecoin bill</a>, a &#8220;historic milestone&#8221; for crypto entrepreneurs and market participants. 
Brian Armstrong, CEO of America's largest cryptocurrency exchange, Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>), described the development as "huge" and stated that the industry is "incredibly close to having a clear regulatory framework."

Ripple CEO Hails GENIUS Act As 'Transformational Legislation,' Compares It To Dodd-Frank Act: 'This Moment Is A Historic One'

Elon Musk's Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has announced a set of new offers on various vehicles in its lineup as the EV giant grapples with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/07/46475391/tesla-cybertruck-bet-not-paying-off-ford-gm-outsell-ev-giant">lackluster sales figures</a> in the U.S.

Besides this, the company is also offering other incentives for customers on vehicles like the Model 3, Model Y and the Cybertruck, according to a post shared by influencer Sawyer Merritt on Thursday.
Incentives for the Cybertruck include a free 20" wheel upgrade, only applicable on lease purchases of the EV pickup truck. Tesla is offering a free upgrade on the Model Y's eligible new inventory, as well as 3.49% APR and lease starting from $349/month.

The sedan also gets " 0% APR for up to 60 months is available with the purchase of FSD (Supervised); 2.49% APR without the purchase of FSD (Supervised)," the post suggests.

Why It Matters: The news comes as the EV incentives, like the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46289556/trumps-tax-bill-axes-the-7500-ev-credit-heres-how-you-can-still-claim-it">$7,500 federal credit</a> on electric vehicles, were axed by the Trump administration as the Big Beautiful Bill was signed into law.
However, Tesla sales <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46436501/ev-prices-drop-2-8-in-june-as-incentives-surge-amid-tumbling-tesla-sales">are still down in the U.S.</a> as the company experienced a 6% YoY decline in domestic sales, but remained the segment leader with a 44% market share.
The U.S. decline comes after the automaker released data showcasing a <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46239998/dan-ives-hails-teslas-better-than-expected-q2-deliveries-says-fireworks-come-early-for-elon-musk-led-ev-giant">better-than-expected performance</a> in Q2 2025, as Tesla achieved 384,212 deliveries, largely driven by the Model Y and the Model 3.
The company also recently entered the Indian market with the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/07/46360439/elon-musk-led-teslas-india-entry-kicks-off-with-first-showroom-in-mumbai-launch-set-for-july-15">Model Y being sold in India</a> for $70,000 in the base-spec Rear-Wheel Drive trim from the company's maiden outlet in Mumbai.

As Trump Axes EV Incentives, Elon Musk's Tesla Announces New Offers Amid Sluggish US Sales

The current artificial intelligence (AI) frenzy could potentially trigger a market crash more severe than the dot-com bubble burst of 1999, according to a leading economist.
What Happened: Torsten Sløk, Chief Economist at Apollo Global Management, voiced his concerns about the inflated valuation of AI technology in a recent research note, as reported by <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/07/17/ai-bubble-vs-dot-com-stocks-apollo-economist-torsten-slok/">Fortune</a>.
Sløk noted, &#8220;The difference between the IT bubble in the 1990s and the <a href="https://fortune.com/2024/12/02/ai-optimists-are-behaving-like-investors-who-got-burned-in-great-depression-and-dot-com-bubble-vanguard-chief-economist-warns-stock-markets/">AI bubble</a> today is that the top 10 companies in the S&amp;P 500 today are more overvalued than they were in the 1990s."
Heavy investment in AI has resulted in a disconnection between stock prices and earnings for companies such as Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>).
Sløk presented a chart comparing the 12-month forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios of the S&amp;P 500's top 10 companies with those of the rest of the index and the overall S&amp;P 500, indicating a bubble potentially even larger than during the dot-com era.
Despite the S&amp;P hitting new records and approaching its all-time high, Sløk contends that the rally is largely driven by gains in the top 10 stocks. He warns that investors are getting caught up in the hype and paying inflated prices as if these companies&#8217; promises are guaranteed, which could ultimately trigger a major market crash.
Sløk cautioned that the 1990s showed us not all promises can — or will — be fulfilled. He also noted that although many of these top companies are profitable, their fundamentals do not justify the multiples.

Why It Matters: Sløk is not the only prominent figure to have raised concerns about the AI bubble. Earlier this year,&nbsp;Alibaba&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) Chairman&nbsp;Joe Tsai&nbsp;warned about a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44469333/alibabas-tsai-sounds-alarm-on-signs-of-ai-bubble-people-are-building-data-centers-on-speculation">potential bubble</a> in the AI data center construction sector. He cautioned that the rapid expansion of data centers could surpass the early demand for AI services.
In a similar vein, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella compared the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43838071/microsoft-ceo-satya-nadella-warns-of-dot-com-like-ai-bubble-pushes-for-measuring-ai-impact-with-gdp-growth-self-claiming-agi-milestone-is-just-nonsensical-benchmark-hacking">current AI frenzy </a>to the dot-com bubble and pushed for measuring AI&#8217;s impact with GDP growth. Billionaire investor Ray Dalio also raised alarms over the soaring valuations of U.S. AI stocks, warning of a potential bubble fueled by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43259076/billionaire-investor-ray-dalio-sounds-alarm-on-potential-ai-stock-bubble-akin-to-dotcom-crash-very-similar-to-where-we-were-between-1998-or-1999">high prices</a> and interest rate risks.
Despite these warnings, the AI sector continues to attract significant attention. Tech analyst&nbsp;Dan Ives&nbsp;recently&nbsp;listed his top five picks for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46463595/dan-ives-picks-5-stocks-for-2nd-half-of-2025-nvidia-palantir-microsoft-and-more-golden-age-of-tech-is-here-with-ai-revolution">second half </a>of 2025, reiterating that the &#8220;golden age of tech&#8221; was here with the AI revolution at the forefront.
On a year-to-date basis, First Trust Nasdaq AI and Robotics ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROBT#NASDAQ">ROBT</a>), Invesco AI and Next Gen Software ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IGPT#NYSE">IGPT</a>) and Global X Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BOTZ#NASDAQ">BOTZ</a>) surged 9.72%, 9.48% and 2.75%, respectively.

'Overvalued' AI Stocks Like Nvidia, Microsoft May Trigger Market Crash Worse Than The Dot-Com Bubble, Economist Warns

The Donald Trump administration is reportedly preparing a sweeping executive order aimed at curbing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37763969/elon-musk-says-woke-ai-like-google-gemini-can-be-deadly-it-will-do-whatever-it-can-potentially-even">perceived liberal bias</a> in artificial intelligence models used by government contractors.
What Happened: The White House plans to require AI companies receiving federal contracts to ensure their models are politically neutral, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/white-house-prepares-executive-order-targeting-woke-ai-e68e8e24?mod=tech_lead_pos2">reported</a> the Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter.
The upcoming executive order is part of a broader agenda led by Trump's top tech advisers, David Sacks and Sriram Krishnan, both of whom have raised concerns about "woke" outputs from popular AI systems.
The order targets what administration officials view as left-leaning bias in AI-generated content, including controversial depictions of historical figures and politically charged responses to prompts.

For instance, Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google Gemini model previously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37256429/gemini-ai-takes-a-timeout-google-halts-image-generation-after-historical-figure-controversy">came under fire</a> for generating racially diverse images of Nazis and depicting George Washington as Black.
The executive order would apply to any AI firm seeking federal contracts, potentially forcing major tech players to adjust how they train and fine-tune large language models.
Political neutrality could become a requirement for AI used in federal agencies, marking a significant regulatory shift, the report said.
This order is expected to be part of a broader AI initiative from the Trump administration, which includes promoting U.S. chip exports, streamlining data center permitting and expanding energy production to support AI infrastructure.
Why It's Important: With major firms like Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Google, Anthropic and Elon Musk's xAI vying for government AI contracts, the executive order could have a profound impact on how models are developed and deployed.
While it may appeal to conservative <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46162898/elon-musk-stopped-believing-in-mars-dream-as-a-political-project-in-2024-says-peter-theil-amid-woke-ai-and-socialist-government-fears">critics of &#8220;woke AI,&#8221;</a> it's likely to raise alarms across Silicon Valley, where developers warn that political constraints could hamper innovation.
Earlier this year, companies like Coca-Cola Co. and PepsiCo Inc., both significant government contractors, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43737860/coca-cola-pepsico-adjust-dei-policies-following-trump-executive-order-report">adjusted their diversity, equity, and inclusion</a> strategies in response to an executive order issued by Trump.
Last month, a federal judge ruled that the Trump administration's decision to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/06/45990612/trump-administration-illegally-slashed-over-1-billion-in-nih-grants-mostly-linked-to-dei-federal-judge-rules-report">revoke over $1 billion</a> in NIH research grants—mainly affecting diversity-focused studies—was unlawful.
