Short seller Jim Chanos expressed disbelief Thursday following news that former Nikola Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKLA#NASDAQ">NKLA</a>) founder Trevor Milton had received a full and unconditional pardon from former President Donald Trump. "Please tell me this is a hoax," Chanos wrote on X, reacting to the decision.
What Happened: Milton, once a prominent figure in the electric vehicle industry, was convicted of fraud in 2022 for misleading investors about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/12/36289800/nikola-founder-trevor-milton-sentenced-to-4-years-in-prison-for-fraud">Nikola's technology and capabilities</a>. 
Federal prosecutors determined that he knowingly misrepresented the company's production capabilities, including falsely claiming that Nikola&#8217;s semi-truck was fully operational when, in reality, promotional videos had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/20/09/17452010/short-seller-compares-nikola-to-theranos-intricate-fraud-built-on-dozens-of-lies">staged the vehicle rolling downhill</a>. In 2023, Milton was sentenced to four years in prison by U.S. District Judge Edgar Ramos.

Why It Matters: Trump's pardon of Milton comes amid his broader pledge to address what he calls the &#8220;political weaponization&#8221; of the justice system. &#8220;This pardon is not just about me—it&#8217;s about every American who has been railroaded by the government,&#8221; Milton said in a statement.
Milton had long maintained his innocence, arguing that the case against him was flawed. His legal troubles began in 2020 when short-seller Hindenburg Research released a damning report accusing Nikola of deception. The report wiped billions from Nikola's market value and led to Milton's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43018900/from-adani-to-nikola-how-hindenburg-research-reshaped-short-selling-before-its-final-bow">resignation as executive chairman</a>. 
With the pardon restoring his rights, Milton announced plans to release a documentary addressing his legal battle.

Trump Pardons Nikola Founder Trevor Milton, Short Seller Jim Chanos Reacts: 'Please Tell Me This Is A Hoax'

On Wednesday, Chamath Palihapitiya, a well-known investor and former Facebook executive, shared a bleak outlook for the role of engineers in the near future. 
What Happened: The venture capitalist stated, &#8220;Unfortunate but accurate in response to a post on X, which stated, &#8216;I No longer think you should learn to code.&#8221; The engineer's role will be supervisory, at best, within 18 months. Building tools for them will be roadkill for the model makers product roadmap.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

In the same thread, Palihapitiya advised parents to encourage their children to focus on fields like philosophy, psychology, history, physics, and English writing, hinting at the changing landscape of valuable skills due to AI&#8217;s rise.

An X user noted that &#8220;coherently explaining&#8221; business rules poses the most significant challenge in software design, a point with which Palihapitiya wholeheartedly agreed.

Moreover, his prediction aligns with sentiments from other tech leaders, including Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, who recently suggested that AI could soon <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/01/43196923/ai-can-write-the-code-zuckerberg-says-metas-midlevel-engineers-earning-six-figures-may-soon-be-replaced">replace midlevel software engineers</a>.
AI prompt engineers, who train chatbots like ChatGPT, are in high demand, with salaries <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/05/32323519/you-dont-need-coding-experience-or-a-tech-background-to-land-this-ai-job-paying-well-over-6-figures">reaching up to $335,000</a>. The role does not require a tech background, but strong logical thinking and basic computer skills are beneficial. As AI adoption accelerates, companies are prioritizing skills over experience in hiring, according to a previous report.

At a 2008 discussion with Dr. George Athanassakos and <a href="https://www.ivey.uwo.ca/media/2809438/buffett-2008.pdf">students at the Ivey Business School</a> at the University of Western Ontario, Buffett gave a room full of future MBAs a reality check wrapped in charm—and accidentally delivered a masterclass in what actually matters.
A student asked "How can you make money without investing a lot of money? Is it hard to raise money?" Buffet said, "Yes, well I didn't raise money." He then continued, "I bought my first stock when I was 11. I bought three shares of Citi Service Preferred. I spent five years saving 120 bucks. I saved money from when I was six until I was 11 and by that time I had enough money to buy three shares of a stock."

</ul>
No family fund. No private equity backer. Just five years of hustling as a kid.
By the time he was 20, he'd scraped together $9,800—without any fixed strategy. "I wasn't anchored in any philosophy," he admitted.&nbsp;
Then came Geico—the company that would change everything. "The first stock I bought where I invested heavily (I had invested three quarters of my net worth) is a stock now called Geico. I got very excited about that company. I just kept looking and I didn't worry. I was always having fun—even now. You can have fun working with small sums or big sums—I like playing the game."
That phrase—playing the game—is key. Buffett didn't start investing to be rich. He did it because he loved it.
"I didn't have to get rich in order to have a better life or for my <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44482365/warren-buffetts-son-wasnt-raised-like-a-billionaires-kid-he-mowed-lawns-and-cleaned-gutters-because-there-are-jerks-with-money-and-jerks-without">kids to have a better life</a>," he said.

And by the time he came back to Omaha in 1956, he had about $175,000 saved. "At that time I thought it was enough to live the rest of my life."
But money wasn't the only challenge—his age was. "My seven investors were not happy. They would not trust the gut instinct of someone as young as I. What does a 21-year-old know about managing money?"
To ease their nerves, Buffett took an unusual route: he ran their money like it was his—and didn't tell them what they owned. "I said to these seven people we would form a partnership and the money would flow in the exact same way except they wouldn't know what they owned. I would treat the money as if it were my own. I wouldn't get paid unless they did well."
Within a few years, he had 11 partnerships—all run out of his bedroom. No master plan. No business school blueprint. Just Buffett doing what made sense, day by day.
Then he dropped one of the most Buffett things ever said: "If you think about it you are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42558080/warren-buffett-says-the-poorest-2-of-earners-live-better-than-john-d-rockefeller-richest-man-in-the-world-people-have-more-money-now">living better than John D. Rockefeller</a>. If you want to watch the Super Bowl you just turn on the TV and watch it. If he wanted to see the World Series it would take him a long time to get there, and he would not have air conditioning and that type of thing."

It wasn't about excess. It was about perspective.
"The problem is not getting rich, but finding a game you enjoy and living a normal life."
And in a moment that caught the room off guard, Buffett shifted from financial advice to life advice.
"The most <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44182984/warren-buffett-spent-71-years-of-his-life-married-and-says-the-secret-to-a-long-lasting-marriage-is-finding-someone-with-low-expectations">important thing is finding the right spouse</a>," he said. "If you make the wrong decision on that you will regret it, there is a lot of pain involved, but if you have the right spouse it is just wonderful."
But he didn't stop there. "The most important decision that you will make is that. If you make that one decision right I will guarantee you a good result in life."
Today, everyone's looking for a shortcut—venture capital, overnight IPOs, a viral crypto play. But Buffett's story reminds us that long-term wealth is built on patience, obsession, and consistency—not starting capital. He didn't raise money. He raised standards.
And in a world obsessed with external success, he doubled down on internal wins: a good spouse, a job you love, and the joy of staying in the game—not just cashing out.
Turns out the most valuable thing Buffett ever picked wasn't a stock. It was his life strategy.

Snap Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNAP#NYSE">SNAP</a>) CEO Evan Spiegel says the perfect Snapchat employee will have three key attributes. They would be smart, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44132618/meta-tiktok-and-snapchat-push-back-against-youtubes-exemption-from-australias-social-media-ban-for-children-under-16">creative and kind. </a>
What To Know: Spiegel was featured on the "Diary of a CEO" podcast on Monday and talked about the importance of hiring, the corporate culture of Snapchat and the qualities he looks for in a potential employee. 
Podcast host Steven Bartlett asked Spiegel if selective hiring is an important part of building a business.&nbsp;
"I think it's everything," Spiegel replied. "It's basically impossible to do anything interesting without a team."

The three most important qualities Spiegel looks for in a new hire are that the person is creative, smart and kind. "Ten years ago people were not talking about kindness at work. I mean, people would be like, "Sorry, what?" he said. 
Kindness is telling someone that they have food stuck in their teeth so that they can remove it, Spiegel explained. Niceness, on the other hand, would be ignoring the stuck food because it is uncomfortable to talk about.&nbsp;
Kindness, Spiegel said, was pointing out something that a co-worker is not doing or not seeing and then helping them to improve in that area.&nbsp;
The Snapchat CEO explained that for others to feel safe and comfortable with their creativity and ideas, the work environment would need to be supportive and kind. 
He mused that people who are smart and creative also tend, on average, to be kind. 
"There's no such thing as a brilliant jerk. If you&#8217;re really brilliant, how could you possibly be a jerk?" he said.

Snap CEO Says A 'Perfect' Snapchat Employee Has These 3 Qualities

Mark Cuban didn't grow up with a trust fund or an Ivy League name to flash around boardrooms. He was the Pittsburgh kid selling <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44067809/mark-cuban-shares-two-things-hed-do-at-12-to-succeed-and-they-work-for-everyone">garbage bags at 12</a> just to buy sneakers. By his 20s, he was living in Dallas, driving a beat-up Fiat with a hole in the floor, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/42193386/mark-cuban-shared-600-a-month-dallas-apartment-with-5-guys-and-slept-on-the-living-room-floor-i-had-nothing-so-i-had-nothing-to-lose">sleeping on the floor of a crowded apartment</a>, and wearing "2-for-$99 polyester suits." Not exactly the "fancy" setup you'd expect from a future billionaire.

<li>This startup is on the brink of a huge disruption to a $654 billion industry – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/venhub-adv">invest in it for under $10 before it's too late</a>.</li>
</ul>
But according to a <a href="https://firesidechat.com/chrisvoss-celebrityguest">Fireside Chat</a> with author Chris Voss in 2023, that humble start came with something else: insecurity.
"I didn't have anything fancy about me… it was kind of like impostor syndrome—that I had to push hard to prove that I knew my stuff," Cuban said.
That pressure to prove himself? It backfired. "Early on in my career, I wanted to prove how smart I was and so I did a lot more talking than listening," he admitted. His need to sound like the smartest guy in the room sometimes led to what he now calls being "too cocky."
Trending: Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-intel">invest pre-IPO from $0.55 per share now</a>.
The consequences weren't just awkward meetings. Cuban shared that his cockiness carried into deals—like the time he sued DirecTV in 2007 over a dispute with his network HDNet. "I was arrogant, and I didn't respect them as much as I should've," he said. The legal battle? "It cost me more money than the deal was worth."
Cuban's career eventually skyrocketed—he sold MicroSolutions for $6 million and later Broadcast.com to Yahoo! for $5.7 billion—but the early lessons stuck. These days, he plays it differently.
"One of the best negotiation strategies is to just be quiet and listen," he told Voss. And more importantly? "If I had to do it again, I think I would have been a little bit more confident and not as concerned that people weren't taking me seriously."
See Also: This platform is reshaping how you invest in private companies —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/kingscrowd-adv"> and you can be a part of it for $0.18 per share</a>
Now, he leans into preparation instead of posturing. "I'd have more confidence in my preparation than I did then," he said.
Bottom line: Cuban didn't have the pedigree, the suit, or the car—but what he lacked in polish, he made up for in hustle. And if he could give his 20-something self advice? Stop trying to impress people. Just do the work.
Now? He's worth billions…and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43873235/not-a-lot-of-people-are-going-to-stand-up-to-him-i-dont-care-says-billionaire-mark-cuban-on-why-hes-not-afraid-to-call-out-elon-musk">still doesn't care if you think he's fancy</a>.

Beyond The Numbers: 12 Analysts Discuss Procter & Gamble Stock

In the current session, the stock is trading at $3828.11, after a 3.98% increase. Over the past month, AutoZone Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZO#NYSE">AZO</a>) stock increased by 11.13%, and in the past year, by 20.81%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1743112843_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Evaluating AutoZone P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
AutoZone has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 25.36 of the Specialty Retail industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1743112843_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

COKE

Here's How Much $100 Invested In Coca-Cola Consolidated 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

Billionaire Elon Musk broke down the positives and negatives from the growth of robots <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">and artificial intelligence</a> in a new interview, including a fearful projection of the potential of robots taking over the world in an interview with Sen. Ted Cruz.
Growth of AI, Robots: Musk had plenty of answers for the curious Cruz about what the next five and 10 years look like for artificial intelligence, robots, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/self-driving-vehicles-0">self-driving vehicles</a> and China.
"In 10 years, AI could probably do anything better than the human can cognitively," Musk <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDREZmpkIz8">said</a>.
Musk predicts that "AI will be smarter than the smartest human."
The billionaire told Cruz there will be billions of humanoid robots in the next 10 years, including the Optimus bot.
Musk brushed off the notion the Optimus bot <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/10/41314770/elon-musk-tesla-accused-of-stealing-ideas-from-i-robot-movie-for-cybercab-robovan-can-i-hav?itm_source=parsely-api">looks like the robots</a> in "I, Robot" and told Cruz that a lot of the parts of the Tesla bot will be cosmetic and can be switched out to look like something else.
"It's not meant to look like any prior robot." &nbsp;
Musk also predicts that all cars will be self-driving in the future, saying that in five years, around 50% of all miles driven will be autonomous and in 10 years, around 90% of all miles driven will be autonomous.

</ul>
Risks and Concerns: Cruz highlighted there are concerns about lost jobs due to artificial intelligence. Musk has acknowledged over the years that AI could take jobs, but also make life easier for people.
"Goods and services will become close to free," Musk said.
Musk said that the billions of robots will be able to make people anything and provide any service for a "next to nothing" cost.
"It's not that people will have a lower standard of living, they'll have actually a much higher standard of living."
Cruz asked Musk about the notion of Skynet from "Terminator" becoming a reality and robots taking over the world.
Musk said this scenario is maybe 10% to 20% likely over the next five to 10 years. While this may sound negative, Musk said people should look at it as the glass being 80% to 90% full with the possibility of "extreme prosperity for all."
Musk also cautioned that America is likely to win the AI battle, but it's important to have control of the AI chips, which are currently made in Taiwan.
The billionaire said if China invades Taiwan, the world could be cut off from advanced chips.
"I think it's essential for national security."
