A professor from the Wharton Business School has suggested that tariffs implemented by President Donald Trump are likely to continue despite political opposition.
What Happened: Professor Joao Gomes of the Wharton Business School, in a <a href="https://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/podcast/wharton-business-daily-podcast/the-trade-war-playbook-tariffs-uncertainty-and-u-s-economic-policy/">podcast, </a>The Trade War Playbook: Tariffs, Uncertainty, and U.S. Economic Policy, stated that both Democrats and Republicans are likely to support tariffs due to their potential to generate revenue.
&#8220;I&nbsp;think the end game is&nbsp;some tariffs are here to&nbsp;stay,&#8221; Gomes said, adding that they are &#8220;addictive for every country in&nbsp;the world.&#8221; He further suggested that the nature and extent of these tariffs are uncertain but they are &#8220;definitely not a thing of&nbsp;the past.&#8221;
"The truth is governments need revenues and once you see the amount of revenue the tariffs bring, I think Democrats will be addicted to them as Republicans—or are as likely to be,"&nbsp;explained Professor Gomes.
While the British government has secured a &#8216;first mover&#8217;&nbsp;deal with the Trump administration, Gomes stated that the number of such deals to be made remains uncertain.

Why It Matters: Analysts are now exploring the potential for targeted tariffs on particular industries or products. In a recent note, UBS Group AG indicated that such measures could be implemented as soon as this summer, following trade investigations into key sectors such as pharmaceuticals, critical minerals, lumber, copper, and semiconductors.
Trump&#8217;s steep tariffs on countries have received widespread criticism from Democrats and major economists. On Monday,  JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) CEO Jamie Dimon cautioned the market <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/05/45508514/jpmorgan-ceo-jamie-dimon-warns-huge-deficits-complacent-central-banks-could-lead-to-stagflation">about </a>displaying an &#8220;extraordinary amount of complacency&#8221; amid the risks posed by tariffs, record U.S. deficits and geopolitical tensions.
However, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent dismissed concerns over the inflationary impact of tariffs on companies such as Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>). Meanwhile, former PIMCO CEO and current Allianz's chief economic adviser, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45491438/mohamed-el-erian-says-era-of-us-exceptionalism-is-paused-but-not-over-yet-too-early-to-say-if-the-damage-inflicted-is-irreversible">Mohamed El-Erian</a>, has suggested that the era of U.S. exceptionalism is on pause due to tariff wars and economic uncertainty, but it&#8217;s not over. He believes it&#8217;s too early to say if the damage inflicted is irreversible.

Artificial intelligence may not steal your paycheck, but it will raid your job description, warns Chris Hyams, the CEO of popular job-search platform Indeed.
What Happened: &#8220;The good news is that there's not a single job anywhere that AI can perform all of the skills required for that job,&#8221; Hyams <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/05/19/indeed-ceo-chris-hyams-ai-job-openai/">told</a> Fortune's Workplace Innovation Summit. &#8220;It doesn't mean it won't replace workers, but AI can't completely replace a job.&#8221;
Hyams' team found that "for about two-thirds of all jobs, 50% or more of those skills are things that today's generative AI can do reasonably well, or very well." The study, which dissected roughly two million postings skill by skill, highlights his blunt takeaway that "pretty much every job is going to change if it's not changing already."
The upheaval could come fast. Hyams predicted that "over the next three years" a handful of occupations will experience "30 years of change," forcing workers and hirers alike to "adapt very, very quickly." Indeed is already leaning in with Pathfinder, an AI "talent agent" slated for 2025 that matches candidates to openings even when résumés miss obvious keywords.

OpenAI Chief People Officer Julia Villagra echoed the call for flexibility, urging companies to "start changing the way we talk about job replacement" and embrace "a reimagination of jobs" rather than doom-scrolling automation headlines.
What Happened: A McKinsey study, which dates back to 2023, predicts that AI&#8217;s onset will necessitate around <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/08/33591072/12-million-us-workers-may-need-to-switch-jobs-by-2030-due-to-ai-study">12 million job switches</a> and potentially automate 30% of the hours worked in the U.S. economy by 2030. Economists, meanwhile expect AI to jostle as many as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/opinion/25/04/44587953/will-ai-replace-us-or-redefine-us?">300 million full-time roles</a>, yet most see a shuffle of tasks rather than wholesale layoffs.
Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) CEO Satya Nadella argues that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44066026/satya-nadella-says-ai-agents-will-replace-knowledge-work-but-theres-one-role-humans-will-always-need-to-play">AI will overhaul</a> "knowledge work," not eliminate "knowledge workers," by offloading drudgery so humans can focus on higher-level tasks, echoing past shifts like fax giving way to email. His outlook is supported by Microsoft data showing 75% of global knowledge workers already use AI (nearly half adopted it within six months) and by real-world moves such as JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) deploying AI to automate client briefings and legal paperwork.

Recent ethics filings indicate that Frank Bisignano, confirmed as head of the Social Security Administration (SSA), has been granted a major tax deferral on hundreds of millions in stock holdings.
What Happened: Bisignano, ex-CEO of Fiserv and among Wall Street's most highly paid executives, is divesting almost $484 million in company stock as per conflict-of-interest regulations.
Owing to a provision in federal tax law, he can indefinitely postpone payments in capital gains taxes on those sales by reinvesting the proceeds in other assets.
The deferral also entails an extra 150,000 shares worth $25 million held by his wife and in family trusts. The Office of Government Ethics granted approval for the move this week, according <a href="https://www.levernews.com/trumps-social-security-chief-just-scored-a-mammoth-tax-break/">to</a> The Lever.

Why It Matters: More than 70 million Americans depend on SSA programs for retirement and disability benefits, but the department is under pressure due to budget reductions and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45281537/gop-warns-trump-appointed-social-security-chief-frank-bisignano-against-further-staff-cuts-citing-risks-to-services-as-baby-boomers-age">staff cuts</a>.  Bisignano, who called himself <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45338754/trumps-new-social-security-commissioner-says-hes-fundamentally-a-doge-person-what-that-could-mean-for-your-benefits">"fundamentally a DOGE person,"</a> has generated concern among Social Security advocates and Democratic lawmakers.
The tax break he received, which is part of a loophole installed in the 1990s, has earlier been granted to other high-level appointees like billionaire banker Howard Lutnick and former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson.
Bisignano's tax break comes as the GOP's reconciliation <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45482256/gop-tax-bill-breaks-trumps-social-security-tax-pledge-still-hits-25-million-seniors-while-elon-musks">bill falls short of President Donald Trump's promise</a> to eliminate taxes on Social Security, with 25 million seniors still likely to be taxed on their benefits.

Trump's SSA Head Frank Bisignano Granted Tax Break On $484M Stock Sale As He Takes Over Struggling Agency Facing Cuts And Scrutiny

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has expressed her disapproval of the Republicans&#8217; late-night voting strategy on President Trump&#8217;s controversial legislation, dubbed the &#8216;Big, Beautiful Bill&#8217;.
What Happened: On Monday, Warren took to X to voice her concerns about the Republicans&#8217; voting schedule for the contentious bill. She criticized the party for advancing the bill late at night, with the next vote slated for 1 AM on Wednesday. &#8220;Republicans are scheduling votes in the DEAD OF NIGHT on Trump&#8217;s &#8220;big, beautiful bill.&#8221; They advanced their bill last night at 10:30 PM. The next vote is scheduled for 1 AM on Wednesday. Why hide?&#8221; she posted.

Why It Matters:&nbsp;The House Budget Committee advanced President Donald Trump&#8216;s &#8220;One Big Beautiful Bill Act&#8221; late Sunday night after earlier opposition from GOP hard-liners stalled it on Friday. The vote passed 17-16 along party lines, with four Republicans — Reps. Chip Roy (R-Texas) Andrew Clyde (R-GA), Josh Brecheen and Ralph Norman &nbsp;(R-S.C.)&nbsp; — switching from &#8220;no&#8221; to voting &#8220;present.&#8221;

The &#8216;Big, Beautiful Bill&#8217; has been a subject of intense debate.

Elon Musk recently emphasized that Colossus 2 will be the first Gigawatt artificial intelligence training supercluster, highlighting xAI's growing infrastructure ambitions as he reshared a post detailing the deployment of 168 Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Megapacks to power the new data center.
What Happened: Musk reposted an update from Tesla Owners Silicon Valley on his X account, which noted that the Megapacks would provide enough energy to &#8220;run an entire neighborhood,&#8221; marking a significant step in fueling artificial general intelligence. 
The post described the collaboration between Tesla and xAI as "the future of power-hungry intelligence," underscoring the deepening synergy between Musk's ventures.
Colossus 2 is xAI&#8217;s next-generation AI supercomputer data center, designed to train large-scale models like Grok with over 1 million GPUs and powered by 168 Tesla Megapacks, delivering gigawatt-scale clean energy. 
Located in Memphis, the 1-million-square-foot facility includes advanced cooling systems and an $80 million water recycling plant, aiming for high-efficiency and sustainable AI computing. Built to rival OpenAI and Anthropic, Colossus 2 is central to Musk&#8217;s vision of achieving AGI and integrating AI across Tesla and X.

Why It Matters: The expansion comes amid controversy, with reports that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/45100013/elon-musks-xai-supercomputer-powering-grok-faces-human-rights-violation-allegations-in-memphis-over-pollution-from-unauthorized-gas-turbines?utm_source=chatgpt.com">xAI deployed methane gas turbines</a> without proper permits in a historically Black area already impacted by industrial pollution. State Representative Justin Pearson called attention to potential emissions, including &#8220;17.2 tons of formaldehyde&#8221; and &#8220;over 130 tons of nitrogen oxide.&#8221;
Colossus is a critical component of Musk&#8217;s AI strategy as he competes with industry leaders. In December, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45413741/elon-musk-wants-a-proper-value-for-xai-after-6-billion-raise-100000-gpus-and-a-quiet-100-million-deal-most-missed?utm_source=chatgpt.com">xAI raised $6 billion</a> to expand its supercomputer from 100,000 to over one million GPUs.

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.

The aggressive purchasing followed Moody&#8217;s decision Friday to strip the U.S. of its final AAA credit rating, citing persistent fiscal deficits and rising debt burdens. The downgrade aligns Moody&#8217;s with Fitch and S&amp;P, marking the first time all three major agencies have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45492889/americas-credit-strength-just-got-cut-again-should-you-panic">rated U.S. debt below the top tier</a>.
Tesla captured $675 million in retail inflows while Palantir drew $439 million, according to the data. Single stocks accounted for $2.5 billion of purchases, with exchange-traded funds comprising the remaining $1.5 billion.

Why It Matters: The buying emerged as markets reacted defensively to the U.S. credit downgrade, with the S&amp;P 500 futures falling 1% and the Nasdaq 100 contracts dropping 1.5% in Monday&#8217;s premarket. High-growth tech stocks were hit particularly hard, with PLTR down up to 4.4% and TSLA declining 3.9% during <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45492889/americas-credit-strength-just-got-cut-again-should-you-panic">the regular trading session on Monday</a>.
Despite market jitters, many analysts view the rating cut as having <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45492889/americas-credit-strength-just-got-cut-again-should-you-panic">a limited long-term impact</a>. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called Moody&#8217;s decision &#8220;a lagging indicator&#8221; on CNBC, noting the administration &#8220;inherited a 6.7% deficit-to-GDP ratio&#8221; and is &#8220;determined to bring spending down.&#8221;

Home Depot, Toll Brothers And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Tuesday

Gerber Kawasaki's CEO and Co-Founder Ross Gerber has criticized Tesla Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Full Self-Driving technology ahead of the company's Robotaxi debut in Austin next month.
What Happened: In a post on social media platform X, Gerber shared his issues with the FSD tech onboard his Cybertruck as the investor hit out at Elon Musk's EV giant on Monday. This comes in as Gerber-Kawasaki dumped over 26,000 Tesla shares (10% of the firm's stake) in Q1 2025, according <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-stock-price-outlook-crash-elon-musk-tsla-ross-gerber-2025-5">to</a> Business Insider on Monday.

"Using FSD 13.2.9 on my cybertruck yesterday. Freeway traffic. Changing lanes for no reason and then not changing into the right lane to turn till too late?" Gerber said in the post.
He also criticized the technology's mapping issues and said that 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>) Google "is better."
Elsewhere, Gerber has pointed out three issues with the company, including declining sales, FSD woes, as well as competition from the likes of Waymo, the Business Insider report suggests.
He also expressed doubts about Musk's promises to the investors about robotaxis at the earnings call. "In fact, what I think is that this could be an extremely difficult time for them if they don&#8217;t pull off or at least convince people that they have a real robotaxi business on the way," He said.
Gerber also called Tesla's share overvalued. "I&#8217;ve thought it&#8217;s been overvalued for a while, and I certainly don&#8217;t care if it gets more overvalued. We own a lot of it and I can sell more," he said.
Why It Matters: Gerber's comments come in as Tesla is gearing up for its Robotaxi launch, which Musk says will see over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44943387/elon-musk-shares-fsd-update-at-tesla-earnings-call-10-to-20-model-ys-will-offer-paid-robotaxi-rides-in-june">10 to 20 Model Ys </a>functioning as Robotaxis on the first day.
Gerber isn't the only analyst who has doubts over the Robotaxi. Future Fund LLC's Managing Director, Gary Black, also expressed concerns over the company's plans and questioned whether <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45488706/gary-black-thinks-expectations-for-teslas-robotaxi-launch-are-too-high-currently-teslas-autonomy-cant">expectations were "too high"</a> for the launch.
Interestingly, Uber Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NASDAQ">UBER</a>) CEO Dara Khosrowshahi has said <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45467794/uber-ceo-dara-khosrowshahi-says-he-isnt-worried-about-teslas-robotaxis-transportation-is-a-trillion-plus-dollar-industry">he isn't concerned</a> about Tesla's robotaxi launch, as the ride-sharing company continues to expand its footprint in the AV sector with strategic partnerships.
Price Action: TSLA Stock gained 0.41% in After-Market trading, currently valued at $343.50, according to<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard"> Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Ross Gerber Slams Tesla's FSD Technology Ahead Of Robotaxi Launch, Maintains Bearish Views On Elon Musk's EV Giant After Dumping 10% Stake in Q1

Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) confirmed Monday that the&nbsp;Department of Justice&nbsp;has launched an investigation into the recent cybersecurity breach at&nbsp;the cryptocurrency exchange.
What Happened: Coinbase&#8217;s Chief Legal Officer, Paul Grewal, acknowledged the DOJ&#8217;s involvement in the case via an X post.

&#8220;Uh, we told the authorities about the incident. We are not the subject of the investigation into the incident. Just sayin'— if facts matter,&#8221; Grewal said, emphasizing that the DOJ was not probing Coinbase but the criminal actors behind the breach. 
The DOJ didn&#8217;t immediately return Benzinga&#8217;s request to confirm this development.

The cryptocurrency behemoth disclosed last week that it had received an email from an unidentified threat actor&nbsp;claiming to have information about&nbsp;certain customer accounts and internal documents. 
The attackers managed to steal&nbsp;some data, including names, addresses, and emails. However, they failed to gain&nbsp;access to login credentials or&nbsp;passwords. The company anticipated the cyberattack to cost between $180 million and $400 million.
Coinbase has refused to pay ransom, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45441997/coinbase-hit-by-data-breach-refuses-to-pay-20m-ransom">instead placing a $20 million bounty</a> for information leading to the attackers.
Price Action:&nbsp; Shares of Coinbase were up 0.29% in after-hours trading after closing 0.95% lower at $263.94 during Monday&#8217;s regular trading session, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
