A Closer Look at Carvana's Options Market Dynamics

On Nov. 26, Maye Musk, mother of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/01/43101102/elon-musk-the-richest-man-in-the-world-is-estimated-to-earn-over-23-million-every-single-hour-of-the-day-heres-how-hes-spending-it">tech mogul Elon Musk</a>, appeared on Fox Business's Varney &amp; Co. with host Stuart Varney. The conversation covered everything from her son's growing influence in government to his personal relationship with Donald Trump. But as much as the interview touched on politics and business, what stood out most was Maye's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/42771425/elon-musks-mom-says-struggling-parents-can-skip-the-movies-or-dining-out-just-spend-time-with-the-most-wonderful-gifts-you-can-ever-have">heartfelt pride in her son</a>.
When Varney asked about the dynamic between Elon and Trump, Maye kept it simple and genuine: "They just seem to be having fun. A lot of fun. It's nice for both of them to have fun," she said with a warm smile. Although she's seen them together, she noted, "Of course, I've seen them together, but very shortly. I live in New York, and they're in Mar-a-Lago or at a SpaceX launch."

</ul>
While Elon's business ventures often dominate headlines, Maye highlighted how much her son respects Trump and feels optimistic about the country's future. "He really respects him a lot and is really happy that there's a future for America now," she shared.
The conversation shifted to government spending, a topic Elon is reportedly passionate about. When asked if he's excited about reducing federal expenses, Maye answered, yes, adding "because it's going to be very easy." She pointed to Elon's swift actions after acquiring Twitter in 2022, where he made immediate changes, including significant layoffs, as an example of his no-nonsense approach.
Maye also gave her thoughts on government inefficiencies, recalling meetings she'd attended where the first issue discussed was getting federal employees back to work. She emphasized that buildings are sitting empty, which taxpayers ultimately pay for—a situation she doesn't find fair. "Get to work. And most won't want to come back to work," she remarked. She also questioned the productivity of certain government roles, adding, "If you haven't done something in the past week, why are you there?"

But the interview wasn't all business. When Varney asked, "Do people like your son?" Maye couldn't help but laugh, replying enthusiastically, "Yes! Oh yes!" Her pride was unmistakable. Varney followed up, noting, "He walks around as the wealthiest man in the world bar none. Do they like him, really?"
That's when Maye made one of her most striking comments: "I don't like the word wealthy or billionaire or things like that because I think it's degrading. I think he's the genius of the world, and people are loving him for that." She added, "When they see me, they go crazy because I'm his mother," but clarified that admiration for Elon isn't just about his success. "They respect him, and I'm very proud of him."

If They Could Show A Plan For Ending World Hunger He'd Donate $6 Billion – ‘I Will Sell Tesla Stock Right Now And Do It'</a>
This isn't the first time Maye has gushed about her son's brilliance. In a 2021 interview on CBS This Morning, she fondly recalled realizing Elon was special when <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/41773588/elon-musks-mom-knew-he-was-a-genius-by-3-years-old-but-worried-hed-end-up-in-a-basement-now-hes-">he was just 3 years old</a>. "I knew he was a genius," she said.

Whether discussing his business moves, political ties, or personal quirks, one thing is clear: to Maye, he's not just the world's richest man—he's her brilliant son.

After the overwhelming success of its Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/25/01/43249653/nasdaqs-bitcoin-etf-shift-could-strengthen-blackrocks-market-position">exchange-traded fund</a> in the United States, BlackRock (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NASDAQ">BLK</a>) is reportedly preparing to launch a similar product for European investors.
What Happened: Quoting an unspecified source, a Bloomberg report <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-02-05/blackrock-said-to-list-bitcoin-exchange-traded-product-in-europe">stated</a> the investment vehicle, likely structured as an exchange-traded product (ETP), will be based in Switzerland, known for its financial regulations.
The new investment can be marketed as soon as this month. A company spokesperson declined to make an official statement on the new product.
BlackRock has approximately $4.4 trillion over a huge variety of financial products and has been at the forefront of bringing blockchain to traditional businesses.
Many other European products have been released, and BlackRock will join in with its plan for a product to be based outside of North America.
Larry Fink, Chief Executive Officer of BlackRock, has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43150952/blackrock-ceo-larry-fink-says-bitcoin-could-rise-to-700000-on-fiat-fears-if-youre-frightened-of-the-debasement">long spoken out on the importance of cryptocurrency</a> as a way to hedge against a potential drop in the economy.

Rocket Lab USA Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RKLB#NASDAQ">RKLB</a>) shares are bouncing around Wednesday. The company announced a new multi-launch contract <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/b43479652/rocket-lab-signs-multi-launch-contract-with-iqps-for-four-electron-missions">for Electron missions</a>.
What Happened: Rocket Lab signed a multi-launch deal with Earth imaging company Institute for Q-shu Pioneers of Space (IQPS). The agreement includes three dedicated missions for launch in 2025 and one launch scheduled for 2026. 
Each mission will carry a satellite for the company&#8217;s planned constellation of 36 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites, which are capable of collecting data through clouds and at night with high resolution. All IQPS satellites will use a Rocket Lab Motorized Lightband as its separation system&nbsp;for deployment to space.
&#8220;A constellation&#8217;s success relies on spacecraft being deployed to precise orbits on tailored timelines to maximize the data collection or service provision the customer needs for their end users. This is the unique and reliable service that dedicated launch on Electron delivers,&#8221; said Peter Beck, founder and CEO of Rocket Lab.
Rocket Lab launched 16 missions in 2024, up from 10 missions launched in 2023. The company's medium lift rocket Neutron is expected to make its first flight sometime in mid-2025. Rocket Lab announced last quarter that it signed a launch service agreement for multiple Neutron launches with a confidential commercial satellite constellation operator.
Rocket Lab has scheduled its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">fourth-quarter financial results</a> for Feb. 27. Analysts expect the company to report a loss of 10 cents per share and revenue of $130.57 million, according to estimates from <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Uber Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) shares are stuck in reverse on Wednesday after the company reported weaker-than-expected earnings and warned that a strong dollar could impact bookings <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43495476/uber-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-growth-in-rides-delivery-and-autonomous-tech-ceo-calls-it-strongest-quarter">in the first quarter</a>.
What Happened: Uber reported fourth-quarter revenue of $12 billion, beating estimates of $11.77 billion, but adjusted earnings per share of 23 cents fell short of estimates of 50 cents, per Reuters.
CEO Dara Khosrowshahi called it Uber&#8217;s &#8220;strongest quarter ever&#8221; as growth accelerated across monthly active platform consumers, trips and gross bookings.
&#8220;Our performance has been powered by rapid innovation and execution across multiple priorities, including the massive opportunity presented by autonomous vehicles. We enter 2025 with clear momentum and will continue to be relentless against our long-term strategy,&#8221; the Uber CEO said.
Looking ahead, Uber guided for first-quarter gross bookings of $42 billion to $43.5 billion, held in check by an estimated 5.5% headwind to year-over-year growth due to a strong dollar. Analysts were reportedly expecting first-quarter gross bookings around $43.5 billion. The company also guided for first-quarter adjusted EBITDA of $1.79 billion to $1.89 billion, which was slightly below analyst forecasts of $1.85 billion at the midpoint.

The company&#8217;s forward outlook appears to be overshadowing Uber&#8217;s strong growth in the quarter. Here&#8217;s a look at other key metrics in Uber&#8217;s fourth-quarter report. 
Total revenue was up 20% on a year-over-year basis, while combined mobility and delivery revenue grew 23% year-over-year. Income from operations totaled $770 million, up $118 million from the prior year&#8217;s quarter. 
Monthly active platform consumers totaled 171 million in the quarter, up 14% year-over-year. Trips grew 18% year-over-year to 3.1 billion and driver and courier earnings increased 16% year-over-year. 
Uber also announced an accelerated share repurchase program to repurchase $1.5 billion worth of its common stock as part of its previously announced $7 billion buyback. 
UBER Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/uber">Uber shares</a> were down 6.95% at $64.95 at the time of publication Wednesday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro.</a>
