Democratic lawmakers, led by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), are scrutinizing the lobbying efforts of two energy companies aimed at securing a $1.1 billion tax loophole in the reconciliation mega-bill.
What Happened: On Thursday, Warren, along with Senators Sheldon Whitehouse, Ron Wyden, and Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), sent letters to ConocoPhillips (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>) and Ovintiv seeking clarification on their role in the proposed tax change, reported The Guardian. The letter, addressed to ConocoPhillips CEO Ryan Lance and Ovintiv CEO Brendan McCracken, questions the amount spent on lobbying and potential tax reductions if the provision is finalized.
Warren criticized the proposal, stating, &#8220;It's&nbsp;an insult to working people&nbsp;to give oil companies a&nbsp;massive tax handout while slashing&nbsp;healthcare and raising energy prices&nbsp;for millions of families.&#8221;&nbsp;
Senate Republicans have proposed an exemption to President Biden's 2022 corporate tax law that would allow fossil fuel companies to deduct drilling costs, potentially eliminating their tax liability. The move, backed by major industry players like ConocoPhillips and Ovintiv, targets the 15% minimum tax on billion-dollar corporations under the Inflation Reduction Act.
The proposed tax break is viewed as especially troubling, given that other measures in the draft reconciliation bill could result in higher utility bills and job losses.
Meanwhile, Schumer said, "Republicans would rather kill over 800,000 good-paying jobs and send energy costs skyrocketing than stand up to their big oil billionaire buddies.&#8221;

Why It Matters: The senators&#8217; letters come amid a larger debate on the proposed tax breaks and their potential impact. Earlier this week, Warren criticized a provision in President Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Big Beautiful Bill&#8221; that offers&nbsp;Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46087132/elizabeth-warren-says-the-tax-break-for-mark-zuckerbergs-meta-is-so-bountiful-under-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-that-35-copay-from-each-american-wont-still">massive tax break</a>, saying the benefits far outweigh what ordinary Americans could ever contribute.
Furthermore, Senate Minority Leader&nbsp;Chuck Schumer&nbsp;has been vocal in his opposition to the GOP&#8217;s budget reconciliation bill, dubbed the &#8220;One Big, Beautiful Bill,&#8221; for its extensive cutbacks on welfare, alongside tax breaks for the wealthy. Schumer has called the bill&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/06/46132709/chuck-schumer-slams-gops-big-beautiful-bill-as-flawed-it-guts-healthcare-kills-jobs-to-fund-tax-breaks-for-billionaires">&#8220;flawed&#8221; and &#8220;irredeemable&#8221;</a>, stating that it will kick millions off healthcare and kill good-paying energy jobs while taking food away from children.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump has been pushing the Senate to pass his &#8216;Big, Beautiful Bill&#8217; bill before the July 4 deadline.
On a year to date basis, shares of ConocoPhillips tumbled 9.18%, as per <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Shares of&nbsp;Bakkt Holdings Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BKKT#NYSE">BKKT</a>)&nbsp;rose in Thursday&#8217;s trading after the cryptocurrency custody company announced plans to raise as much as $1 billion, with proceeds potentially getting allocated to buy Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>).
What Happened: The possible shelf offering might include sales of Bakkt&#8217;s&nbsp;Class A common stock, preferred&nbsp;stock, warrants, and debt securities, according to an SEC filing. The funds are expected to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, with a portion potentially allocated to Bitcoin.
Bakkt announced an updated investment policy earlier this month to&nbsp;use the excess capital at its disposal to buy Bitcoin and&nbsp;other digital assets. However, the&nbsp;firm has not yet made&nbsp;any crypto purchases as yet, according to&nbsp;the SEC filing.
As of this writing, the BKKT stock lags in terms of Momentum and Value.

This Under-The-Radar Crypto Stock Lifted 3% On $1 Billion Fundraising That Could Go Into Buying Bitcoin

Mohamed El-Erian, a prominent economist and former CEO of PIMCO, has voiced significant concerns regarding the Federal Reserve, asserting that it is &#8220;getting harder to convince people that the Fed is apolitical.&#8221;
What Happened: In a recent <a href="https://substack.com/inbox/post/166923226">Substack</a> post, El-Erian identifies three distinct political narratives that he believes threaten the central bank&#8217;s &#8220;institutional integrity and operational credibility.&#8221; 
The first narrative, according to El-Erian, involves speculation about President Donald Trump potentially appointing a &#8220;de facto shadow chair&#8221; to undermine the authority of current Fed Chair Jerome Powell. This suggests a direct challenge to the established leadership structure within the institution.
Secondly, El-Erian points to recent comments from two Republican-leaning Fed Governors who are reportedly &#8220;pushing for the July FOMC meeting to be &#8216;live,&#8217; implying a possible rate cut.&#8221; This public pressure from within the Fed itself could be perceived as politically motivated, impacting the perception of independent decision-making.
The third narrative posits that Chair Powell might be attempting to &#8220;obfuscate significant policy mistakes during his tenure,&#8221; meaning he was trying to hide, obscure, or make less clear the errors or misjudgments that he may have made.
El-Erian cites examples such as the &#8220;2021 surge in the inflation rate (which remains above target four years later) and the major 2023 bank supervision lapses.&#8221;
According to this view, Powell&#8217;s efforts to &#8220;cement his legacy as a defender of Fed independence&#8221; might ironically lead to policies that are &#8220;too tight for too long.&#8221;

Why It Matters: El-Erian warns that &#8220;the longer these narratives persist, the greater the threats to an institution&#8221; that is not only grappling with complex policy choices but also in the process of revising its &#8220;monetary policy framework,&#8221; which &#8220;proved problematic shortly after its release in August 2020.&#8221;
His analysis underscores a growing challenge to the Fed&#8217;s crucial role in maintaining economic stability amidst increasing political scrutiny.
During his testimony to Congress, Federal Reserve Chair Powell signaled slower growth and hotter inflation after the central bank left interest rates unchanged.
President Trump, who has been pushing the Fed to cut rates, said that he could announce Powell&#8217;s successor by September, whose term ends later in May 2026, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/economy/central-banking/trump-next-federal-reserve-chair-powell-d3edcb9c?mod=hp_lead_pos1">reported</a> the Wall Street Journal.

Mohamed El-Erian Flags Political Narratives Affecting Federal Reserve's 'Institutional Integrity And Operational Credibility'

Elon Musk says humanity can dodge a "population collapse" only if today's parents aim higher than two kids.
What Happened: The billionaire told his 221 million followers on X that "people who have kids do need to have 3 kids to make up for those who have 0 or 1," or birth-rate math will "collapse" society.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">People who have kids do need to have 3 kids to make up for those who have 0 or 1 kid or population will collapse <a href="https://t.co/Gx1N4sW59E">https://t.co/Gx1N4sW59E</a>
&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1938254253027717270?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 26, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Musk fired off the post after entrepreneur Mario Nawfal shared Fortune data showing scientists now peg the replacement rate at 2.7 children per woman, up from the long-accepted 2.1. By contrast, the United States sits at 1.66, and rich nations such as Italy (1.29) and Japan (1.30) are even lower.
The Tesla CEO has pounded this drum for years, warning that shrinking families <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40744772/elon-musk-sounds-the-alarm-after-eu-birth-rates-hit-record-low-population-collapse-is-a-certainty">threaten economic growth</a>, innovation and even survival. Last fall, he told followers that Europe's plunging fertility made a "population collapse … a certainty." In March, he even confessed to declining birth rates as the one thought that "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44550912/elon-musk-reveals-the-one-thought-that-keeps-him-awake-at-night">keeps him awake at night</a>."

Why It Matters: Demographers say the concern is real. CDC figures show America's fertility rate hit another record low in 2024. Globally, average fertility has fallen from about 5.3 births per woman in 1963 to under 2.5 today, according to Our World in Data. Italy's national statistics office <a href="https://www.istat.it/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/DEMOGRAPHIC-INDICATORS_YEAR-2024.pdf">reports</a> parts of Sardinia are already below one child per woman. Japan's 2024 handbook <a href="https://www.stat.go.jp/english/data/handbook/pdf/2024all.pdf">puts</a> its rate near 1.3, despite decades of pronatalist subsidies.
Economists at the International Monetary Fund <a href="https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/fandd/issues/2025/06/the-debate-over-falling-fertility-david-bloom">warn</a> that fewer babies can mean labor shortages, higher pension costs and slower growth unless countries boost productivity or immigration.
Musk, a father of 14, backs incentives for bigger families in aging nations such as Japan, South Korea and much of Europe. "The birth rate is very low in almost every country. And unless that changes, civilization will disappear," he said in March.

Elon Musk Says People 'Need To Have' 3 Kids To Avoid Population Collapse, Says This Is To Make Up For People Who Have One Or None

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed further improvement in the overall market sentiment, while the index remained in the &#8220;Greed&#8221; zone on Thursday.
U.S. stocks settled higher on Thursday, with the Dow Jones index gaining more than 400 points during the session.
Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBA#NASDAQ">WBA</a>) on Thursday reported better-than-expected earnings for the third quarter. Worthington Steel, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WS#NYSE">WS</a>) shares jumped more than 20% on Thursday as the company reported stronger-than-expected financial results for the fourth quarter.
On the economic front, the first-quarter GDP was revised downward to -0.5% from the previous -0.2% figure, primarily due to a widening goods trade deficit linked to weaker exports. Yet, other data released Thursday painted a more positive picture.
Factory orders in May soared by 16.4% month-over-month to $343.6 billion, marking the biggest increase since July 2014. That followed a revised 6.6% drop in April and smashed market expectations of an 8.5% gain. Weekly jobless claims fell by 10,000 to 236,000 in the week ending June 21, while economists had forecast no change — another sign of labor market resilience.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a positive note, with communication services, consumer discretionary and energy stocks recording the biggest gains on Thursday. However, real estate and consumer staples stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session lower.
The Dow Jones closed higher by around 404 points to 43,386.84 on Thursday. The S&amp;P 500 rose 0.80% to 6,141.02, while the Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.97% to 20,167.91 during Thursday's session.
Investors are awaiting earnings results from Apogee Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APOG#NASDAQ">APOG</a>) and Cineverse Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNVS#NASDAQ">CNVS</a>) today.
What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
At a current reading of 63, the index remained in the &#8220;Greed&#8221; zone on Thursday, versus a prior reading of 58.2.
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

A young plumber named Camron called into &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQQp_RhArtQ">The Ramsey Show</a>&#8221; with a tough question: Would it make him a bad husband to move away from his wife so he could start a business in his hometown?
He&#8217;s burned out in Portland, Oregon, and wants to return to Carson City, Nevada, where he already has his plumbing license, an LLC, and a network of contacts. His wife, however, is in graduate school to become a physician assistant and has about 18 months left, most of it clinical rotations that could send her across the country.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">&#8220;She&#8217;s Not A Huge Fan Of The Idea&#8221;</h2>
Camron admitted his wife isn&#8217;t on board with the plan. &#8220;She&#8217;s not a huge fan of the idea,&#8221; he said. That alone was enough for co-host Ken Coleman to shut it down.
&#8220;You called, I&#8217;m going to shoot you really straight. That&#8217;s what you want, correct?&#8221; Coleman asked. &#8220;I think this is a horrible idea.&#8221;
Coleman gave three reasons. First, the relationship is key, and his wife is clearly not comfortable with the idea. Second, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45965931/geoffrey-hinton-says-be-a-plumber-if-you-want-to-have-a-safe-job-godfather-of-ai-says-everyone-doing-mundane-intellectual-labor-will-be-replaced">plumbers are in high demand</a> everywhere, so he could easily start a business where he lives now. And third, her future location is unknown, meaning he could set up in Carson City only for her to get a job somewhere far away.
&#8220;Starting the business somewhere else in your hometown to escape some difficult people is not the right solution,&#8221; Coleman said. &#8220;I just don&#8217;t think you&#8217;ve thought it through because I think there&#8217;s a lot of emotion there.&#8221;
He also emphasized that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38397890/how-i-escaped-the-corporate-rat-race-and-saved-myself-from-burnout-using-these-10-easy-stress-buster">burnout</a>, while real, shouldn&#8217;t drive a major life decision that could strain a marriage. Instead, Coleman suggested that Camron use his existing skills to build something locally, where he could stay close to his wife and still pursue self-employment.
Trending: This Jeff Bezos-backed startup will allow you to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bezos-landlord-100-dollars"> become a landlord in just 10 minutes, with minimum investments as low as $100</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">&#8220;Suck It Up&#8221;</h2>
Then Camron mentioned something that made both hosts react even more strongly.
&#8220;How long have you guys been married?&#8221; co-host Rachel Cruze asked.
&#8220;Friday will be our one-year anniversary,&#8221; Camron replied.
&#8220;Oh dude, oh no. Don&#8217;t do this,&#8221; Cruze said. &#8220;This is an absolute nuclear no way.&#8221;
&#8220;Suck it up,&#8221; Coleman added.
Cruze explained that marriage, especially in its early years, requires unity and shared decisions. She pointed out that once his wife is finished with school, they can decide together where to live, and he can still <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/07/39635675/mark-cuban-reminds-entrepreneurs-its-not-about-your-dream-because-the-market-doesnt-care">pursue his business dreams</a>. &#8220;Someone in the medical field and a plumber? Y&#8217;all are going to make a lot of money,&#8221; Cruze said.
She encouraged Camron to consider this short period as a foundation-building time. Instead of focusing on what he's missing in Portland, he could prepare for the future by gaining experience, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44066359/someone-asked-for-small-money-saving-habits-that-made-a-big-difference-and-the-responses-poured-">saving money</a>, and building stability as a couple.
Their bottom line of the call is to stay put, stick together, and start the business later, together.

Plumber Wants To Leave Portland, Oregon And His Wife Behind To Start A Business. He Asks 'The Ramsey Show,' Would That Make Me A Bad Husband?

The U.S. and China have finalized a trade understanding, building on an agreement reached last month in Geneva. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick confirmed the deal, which was signed two days ago, noting that the White House has immediate plans to secure agreements with ten other major trading partners.
What Happened: The accord with China codifies terms established during recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/macro-notification/25/06/45876366/howard-lutnick-says-us-and-china-reached-a-framework-to-implement-geneva-consensus-following-trump-xi-call-csi-300-index-gains">trade discussions</a> between Beijing and Washington. 
A key component of this agreement is China&#8217;s commitment to supply rare earths, critical materials used in a wide array of products, from wind turbines to jet engines.
&#8220;They're going to deliver rare earths to us,&#8221; Lutnick <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-26/us-china-have-finalized-tariff-understanding-lutnick-says?srnd=homepage-asia">told</a> Bloomberg News in an interview, adding that once the deliveries commence, &#8220;we'll take down our countermeasures.&#8221; 
However, the Chinese Foreign Ministry in Beijing did not immediately respond to Benzinga&#8217;s inquiries.
This China agreement marks a significant milestone, especially after both nations previously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45715447/xi-jinpings-china-dismisses-trumps-groundless-accusations-on-geneva-trade-deal-breach-vows-strong-retaliation">accused each other of violating</a> earlier &#8220;handshake accords.&#8221; Yet, its success hinges on future actions, particularly China&#8217;s export of rare earth materials.

Why It Matters: Lutnick also informed Bloomberg Television that President Donald Trump is prepared to finalize a series of trade deals within the next two weeks, aligning with the president's July 9 deadline to reinstate higher tariffs that were paused in April.
&#8220;We're going to do top 10 deals, put them in the right category, and then these other countries will fit behind,&#8221; Lutnick stated.
While he didn&#8217;t specify which nations would be part of this initial wave, Trump had previously indicated nearing an agreement with India.
The President has also stated he might send &#8220;letters&#8221; dictating trade terms if agreements aren&#8217;t reached in time, with countries being sorted into &#8220;proper buckets&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45603240/trump-agrees-to-extend-50-tariffs-on-europe-until-july-9-it-was-my-privilege-to-do-so">by July 9</a>. 
Price Action: The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, ended higher on Thursday.

Howard Lutnick Confirms US-China Trade Agreement, Reaffirms White House's Progress To Close Deals With 10 Other Trading Partners

U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are reportedly working on a plan to end the ongoing war in Gaza and expand the Abraham Accords, with new countries joining the peace agreement.
What Happened: The plan, as reported by Israel Hayom, would require Israel to commit to supporting a future Palestinian state. This proposal was discussed during a phone call between Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday, <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/netanyahu-trump-said-working-on-plan-to-end-gaza-war-and-expand-abraham-accords/">stated </a>The Times Of Israel. 
The leaders have reportedly agreed to bring the Gaza war to an end within a two-week timeline, which would require Israel to cease its military operations and Hamas to release the remaining 50 hostages. Following this, the leadership of the Palestinian group would be exiled, and the governance of the war-ravaged region would be jointly undertaken by four Arab nations, including the UAE and Egypt.
The plan also includes provisions for the rehabilitation of the Gaza Strip, absorption of Gazans wishing to emigrate by several undisclosed countries and Israel&#8217;s backing for a future two-state solution contingent on reforms by the Palestinian Authority. In exchange, Washington would acknowledge Israeli sovereignty over certain areas of the West Bank.
Once the war ends and Israel reaffirms its commitment to a two-state solution, Saudi Arabia and Syria are expected to establish diplomatic ties with Israel under the Abraham Accords, with other Arab and Muslim countries likely to follow.

Why It Matters: This development comes amid other significant events in the region. Trump recently urged Israel to cancel or pardon <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46108200/trump-calls-for-canceling-netanyahus-witch-hunt-corruption-trial-calls-it-a-travesty-of-justice">Netanyahu&#8217;s corruption</a> trial, calling it a &#8220;witch hunt.&#8221; This public support from Trump could have implications for the Israeli political landscape.
Meanwhile, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46068097/elizabeth-warren-presses-marco-rubio-over-potential-500-million-usaid-diversion-to-controversial-gaza-foundation-report">raised concerns</a> about a proposal to redirect $500 million from USAID to the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a controversial organization. This proposal, if implemented, could have a significant impact on the humanitarian situation in Gaza.

Trump And Israel's Netanyahu Working On Plan To End Gaza War, Expand Abraham Accords: Report

President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariffs on Chinese imports have increased Nike Inc.&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) costs by $1 billion. As part of their mitigation strategy, the athletic giant plans to start implementing price hikes in the fall of 2025.
Check out the current price of <a href="https://benzinga.com/quote/nke">NKE stock here</a>.
What Happened: The Beaverton-based company disclosed the substantial tariff impact during its fourth-quarter earnings call on Thursday, outlining a four-pronged approach to offset costs while maintaining brand positioning. 
Chief Financial Officer Matt Friend confirmed the company will implement a &#8220;surgical price increase&#8221; in the United States with phased rollouts starting in fall 2025.
The tariff headwinds are expected to pressure gross margins by approximately 75 basis points for fiscal 2026, with a greater impact in the first half.
Nike&#8217;s comprehensive mitigation strategy includes optimizing sourcing mix, partnering with suppliers and retail partners, implementing selective price increases, and evaluating corporate cost reductions. The company expects to fully offset the billion-dollar impact over time as these actions are implemented and annualized.

The tariff challenge comes as Nike reported mixed fourth-quarter results, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/06/46128469/nike-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-headwinds-expected-to-moderate-moving-forward-company">revenue of $11.1 billion beating estimates</a> of $10.72 billion despite a 12% year-over-year decline. Earnings per share of $0.14 exceeded forecasts of $0.12 by 16.67%.
Why It Matters: Nike&#8217;s sourcing strategy will significantly shift production allocation. Currently, China represents roughly 16% of footwear imports into the United States, but the company expects this to decline to high single digits by fiscal 2026.
Friend emphasized that &#8220;manufacturing capacity and capability in China remains important to our global source base&#8221; despite elevated tariffs.
CEO Elliott Hill acknowledged the challenging environment while expressing confidence in Nike&#8217;s turnaround strategy. The company is implementing its &#8220;Sport Offense&#8221; reorganization to drive growth through sport-specific innovation and marketing while cleaning up marketplace inventory.
Price Action: Nike shares rose 2.81% on Thursday to $62.54 and jumped another 10.73% in after-hours trading following its fourth-quarter earnings release.
While Nike ranks low on Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings overall, the stock is showing a favorable short-term price trend. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here for deeper insights into Nike and its competitors</a>.

Future Fund LLC's Gary Black thinks that Elon Musk's Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) holds a key advantage over Robotaxi rivals 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 and Amazon.com Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Zoox.
What Happened: "The one advantage that $TSLA bears don't fully appreciate is that every TSLA robotaxi produced rolls out of the TSLA factory robotaxi-ready," the investor said in a post on social media platform X on Thursday.
He then outlined how Tesla's production capabilities differ from Zoox, Waymo and other autonomous rivals, which, in most cases, modify the vehicle to make it ready for autonomy after the vehicle is produced.
In contrast to Musk's EV giant, which produces autonomy-ready vehicles straight off the lot. "That scale advantage could be very significant," Black said in the post.

Why It Matters: The investor's comments come as he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46088826/gary-black-calls-out-lack-of-constructive-feedback-on-teslas-robotaxi-launch">has raised questions</a> about the company's Robotaxi in the past on several occasions. Recently, Black said that investors need to stop focusing on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46110126/gary-black-weighs-in-on-tesla-vs-waymo-debate-says-investors-need-to-stop-focusing-on-efficacy">Robotaxi's efficacy</a> when compared to Waymo.
However, Tesla's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46066530/tesla-wants-to-keep-its-texas-self-driving-data-private-amid-austin-robotaxi-launch-report">Robotaxi launch in Austin</a> on Sunday invited a lot of praise from analysts and experts, with Wedbush Securities' Dan Ives calling it a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46049232/dan-ives-hails-very-impressive-robotaxi-ride-in-austin-predicts-55-upside-for-tesla-stock-as-golden-age-begins">"golden age"</a> for the company, while Piper Sandler analysts think the launch could lead to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46108079/tslas-robotaxi-could-disrupt-auto-industry-says-piper-sandler-contrasts-goldmans-cautious-view-tesla-will-likely-win">disruption in the auto industry</a>.
Despite the praise, there have been concerns about robotaxis, specifically, the FSD or Full Self-Driving tech that's at the helm of the Robotaxi business model.&nbsp;
Recently, the NHTSA said it was going to review incidents of possible <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46067027/tesla-robotaxi-faces-nhtsa-scrutiny-over-traffic-violations-during-austin-launch">traffic law violations</a> during the Robotaxi launch, including speeding and driving in the wrong lane.
This comes as Tesla is already facing a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46068107/elon-musks-tesla-faces-wrongful-death-lawsuit-over-model-s-crash-which-claimed-3-lives-plaintiffs-call-cars-design-defective-and-unreasonably-dangerous">wrongful death lawsuit</a> over a fatal Model S crash in New Jersey in 2024. The plaintiffs in the case called the vehicle's design "unreasonably dangerous and flawed."
