A recent call on &#8220;<a href="https://x.com/DaveRamsey/status/1943683001142890906">The Ramsey Show</a>&#8221; featured a young woman who shared that she&#8217;s facing pressure not to buy a home, simply because she's single.
Kate, a marketing professional in her early 20s from Michigan, called in to ask Dave Ramsey for advice. Despite earning more than $150,000 a year and having $125,000 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-buy-a-home-in-5-years">saved for a down payment</a> on her first home, she said people around her are discouraging her from buying.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pressure From Community Over Gender Roles</h2>
&#8220;A lot of people around me are pressuring me to not buy a home,&#8221; Kate said. She explained that the pressure comes from what she described as Christian beliefs that &#8220;girls shouldn't buy a home and men should be providers.&#8221;
Don't Miss:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"> How do you compare</a>?</li>
<li>$100k+ in investable assets? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/wiseradvisor-retirement-planning">Match with a fiduciary advisor for free to learn how you can maximize your retirement and save on taxes</a> – no cost, no obligation.</li>
</ul>
Ramsey did not hold back.
&#8220;Leave the cult,&#8221; he said flatly. &#8220;That is not a Christian belief, darling. That&#8217;s a cult belief.&#8221;
Co-host John Delony added, &#8220;Leave whatever madness and misrepresentation of Christian beliefs and ethics and right and wrong immediately.&#8221;
The veteran personal finance host emphasized that true Christian faith does not align with what Kate is being told.
&#8220;You make the rest of us that love Jesus look like we're morons because you're a moron when you do stuff like this,&#8221; Ramsey said. &#8220;That's just nuts.&#8221;
Trending: Named a TIME Best Invention and Backed by 5,000+ Users, Kara's Air-to-Water Pod Cuts Plastic and Costs — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/americans-spend-1000-per-year-on-plastic-water-bottles-kara-pod-gives-you-clean-drinking-water-by-pulling-moisture-from-the-air">And You Can Invest At Just $6.37/Share</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bad Theology And Insecurity</h2>
Ramsey became visibly frustrated with the idea that someone so financially capable would be discouraged based on outdated and toxic views.
&#8220;I hate bad doctrine and bad theology and how it affects people when they get in toxic situations. I'm sorry, darling, your mother and father have misled you.&#8221;
Delony added that beliefs like this often come from men who feel threatened.
&#8220;You know who says this crap? Men who are afraid of losing control of amazing women like this. So they take their insecurity and fear and try to duct tape Jesus on the top of it to keep their crumbling kingdoms from coming out from under them.&#8221;&nbsp;

&#8220;They&#8217;re not as smart and ambitious, and they don&#8217;t have as much get up and go,&#8221; Ramsey interjected.
Their advice to Kate was simple: buy the house and keep being exceptional.
"I would advise my daughter to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/what-to-look-for-when-buying-a-house">buy a house</a> with the $125,000 she has saved as a down payment," Delony said. Ramsey added, "And keep being the studette that you are and hope that some guy is lucky enough to even catch your eye."
He closed with encouragement: &#8220;Kate, you&#8217;re an absolutely incredible human being. Go shine, girl.&#8221;

This Is What Whales Are Betting On AeroVironment

Docusign's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DOCU#NYSE">DOCU</a>) short percent of float has fallen 8.32% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 8.04 million shares sold short, which is 5.18% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.62 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Docusign Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1752512427_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Docusign has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Docusign's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Docusign's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.34%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Peering Into Docusign's Recent Short Interest

Looking into the current session, Arbor Realty Trust Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABR#NYSE">ABR</a>) shares are trading at $11.33, after a 0.71% increase. Moreover, over the past month, the stock went up by 10.91%, but in the past year, decreased by 18.05%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is undervalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1752512423_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>How Does Arbor Realty Trust P/E Compare to Other Companies?</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Arbor Realty Trust has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 18.05 of the Mortgage Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) 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/2025/1752512423_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing Packaging Corp of America's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Packaging Corp of America's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.75%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

President Trump Says Federal Reserve Should Lower Interest Rates To Less Than 1%

Plug Power Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLUG#NASDAQ">PLUG</a>) shares are down over 7% on Monday, after a multi-day rally fueled by a major hydrogen supply deal and supportive federal policy developments. Despite today&#8217;s drop, the stock remains up 8% over the past five sessions.
The pullback comes after a sharp rally sparked by Plug Power&#8217;s <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/small-cap/25/07/46318132/plug-power-extends-key-hydrogen-partnership-powering-future-growth-through-2030" rel="noreferrer noopener">announcement</a> of a renewed and expanded long-term hydrogen supply agreement with a major U.S.-based industrial gas partner.
The deal extends their strategic partnership through 2030, secures lower-cost liquid hydrogen, and is designed to enhance distribution efficiency and cash flow as Plug scales its hydrogen infrastructure.

&#8220;This contract is a win for Plug, our customers, our suppliers, and our margin profile,&#8221; said CEO Andy Marsh. &#8220;Reliable supply and cost efficiency are critical as we grow our applications business.&#8221;
President Donald Trump&#8217;s recent signing of the &#8220;One Big Beautiful Bill&#8221; supported the broader rally, which extended the 45V clean hydrogen tax credit deadline by two years to December 31, 2027. The policy move eases pressure on Plug&#8217;s financing timeline for new projects, including its long-delayed hydrogen plant in Texas.
Despite that optimism, Plug shares are under pressure Thursday following a July 9 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46344306/whats-going-on-with-plug-power-stock-13?utm_source=chatgpt.com" rel="noreferrer noopener">prospectus</a> filing that registered up to 31.5 million shares for resale by Yorkville, a selling stockholder.
While Plug won&#8217;t receive proceeds from those sales, it could benefit from any cash exercise of associated warrants, a structure that sparked fresh dilution concerns among investors.
Plug Power has a 52‑week high of $3.34 and a 52‑week low of $0.69, reflecting a dramatic 79% drop from peak to trough. The stock has since rebounded significantly from those lows, and as of the latest data, it&#8217;s approximately 43% above its 50‑day simple moving average, though still trading about 9% below its 200‑day average.
Price Action: PLUG shares are trading lower by 7.41% to $1.500 at Monday&#8217;s last check.

Plug Power's Hot Streak Stalls As Wall Street Frets Over Warrant Surprise

Shares of Palantir Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) are trading higher Monday, continuing a recent surge despite a lack of company-specific news for the session. The data analytics firm has seen its stock gain momentum following a series of positive developments and a bullish analyst outlook from last week. Here&#8217;s what investors <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PLTR/news">need to know</a>.
What To Know: Last week, Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/07/46353542/palantir-next-oracle-trump-backed-ai-surge">reiterated</a> his Outperform rating on Palantir, raising his price target to a Street-high of $160. 
Ives <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46349530/palantir-stock-is-trending-thursday-whats-going-on">cited</a> the company&#8217;s strong position to secure significant government contracts, particularly in the AI space, highlighting the potential for growth under the current administration&#8217;s initiatives. A recent NATO contract further solidifies Palantir&#8217;s expanding footprint in the international defense sector.
The company&#8217;s Artificial Intelligence Platform is seen as a major growth driver, with its U.S. commercial revenue jumping 71% year-over-year in the first quarter. Palantir is also expanding its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46317315/this-palantir-partnership-uses-ai-and-satellites-to-predict-weather-like-never-before-heres-what-it-means">strategic partnerships</a>, recently announcing a collaboration with weather intelligence firm Tomorrow.io to integrate real-time atmospheric data into its platforms. 
This string of positive news over the trailing week continues to fuel investor confidence in Palantor&#8217;s long-term growth trajectory in both government and commercial markets, pushing the stock upward even on a slow news day for the company.
Analyst Ratings: Recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PLTR/analyst-ratings">analyst updates</a> on Palantir show a trend of increasing price targets, even as overall ratings remain mixed. On June 12, Loop Capital reiterated its &#8220;Buy&#8221; rating, boosting its price target significantly from $130 to $155. The day prior, Mizuho, while maintaining its &#8220;Underperform&#8221; rating, also raised its price target from $94 to $116. 
This follows a series of upward revisions in May from firms like Citigroup, which maintained a &#8220;Neutral&#8221; rating but lifted its target to $115. The consistent price target hikes across the board, from bullish to bearish analysts, suggest a broad reassessment of the company&#8217;s valuation in light of its recent performance and future prospects.
Price Action: According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, PLTR shares are trading higher by 3.46% to $147.03 Monday afternoon. The stock has a 52-week high of $148.22 and a 52-week low of $21.23.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy PLTR Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Palantir Technologies&#8217; case, it is in the Information Technology sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.

Palantir Stock Is Gaining Again On Monday: What's Going On?

What is blockchain storage and why should cryptocurrency investors care? In layman's terms, it's a decentralized version of the traditional web's cloud services. Mostly used by developers rather than retail customers, the blockchain storage space is another segment of the Web3 investor universe that issues cryptocurrencies to investors who want to try their luck betting on the future of another digital assets growth story.
This month, Nubit (NB) raised $12 million with the bulk coming from Polychain Capital. Nubit builds decentralized cloud storage for blockchain AI models. They were the only notable storage investment from venture capital (VC) in the first quarter, but demand for decentralized storage infrastructure, especially in areas like AI, decentralized finance (DeFi), and data indexing is expected to grow by a compound annual growth rate of 22.4% over the next decade, <a href="https://www.gminsights.com/industry-analysis/decentralized-storage-market?utm">according</a> to business intelligence firm Growth Insights.
If Web3 is going to grow, blockchain storage is going to have to grow right along with it.
"Decentralized data storage serves the purpose of self-sovereign data owned by the users with strong availability, without relying on a single centralized entity," said Kenneth Shek, Project Lead of the newly launched Moca Network (MOCA).
Decentralized data storage ensures that data are available, interoperable, and verifiable by any apps, based on the users' own selective disclosure, with privacy further enhanced cryptographically making it very different from traditional clouds like AWS. Moca Chain's storage and privacy solution testnet is scheduled to launch only in the third quarter of this year. The token is currently only available for retail investors on the KuCoin (<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/KCS-USD">KCS</a>) exchange.
"We have already seen the largest funds in the world actively searching for and investing here," Shek said. "As large mass data starts to be commoditized, private and verifiable data will become increasingly valuable."&nbsp; As will the companies that can provide that service and the backbone to making those services available.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Blockchain Storage: Web3&#8217;s &#8220;Cloud&#8221;</h2>
Blockchain storage is a decentralized way to store digital data across a distributed network of computers (or "nodes"), rather than using centralized servers like those owned by Amazon (AWS), Google, or Microsoft.&nbsp;
Blockchain storage serves a similar purpose —letting users save, retrieve, and share files—but with some major differences. Traditional cloud providers control the servers, access, and policies of how to use them, while blockchain storage relies on smart contracts and token incentives to store and verify data across multiple independent nodes. This makes it more censorship-resistant, harder to tamper with, and aligned with crypto universes values decentralization. Because these systems are still being built out, they are usually slower than traditional cloud storage and primarily only for people developing programs on blockchains.
Even cryptocurrency accounts held by retail investors are not plugged into "Web3 cloud" systems. Some exchanges, like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GMX-USD">GMX</a>, use blockchain storage solutions for back end analytics not available to retail clients.
<img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcCfWoK8q1BcOJiqW1qLmczOkp05qqc--X4C2i6bBNYTmi5G2tM0ZlVhdhRpfbQXGD_fP1NxPsL9czirwWwPrOYkdh4YzkOi0cJWXJ5ImbVFBGATxz6pCmc2FELGhlor4NhDOAzaA?key=wk2HqGq_BSQZts0lwGAf-g" />

The main market for blockchain storage solutions include:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>NFT marketplaces storing metadata and artwork off-chain</li>
<li>DeFi and DAO platforms needing tamper-proof archives</li>
<li>Web3 social platforms (such as Lens Protocol on Polygon) storing posts or identity data</li>
<li>Some cryptocurrency wallets will use blockchain storage to store history or AI-generated content.</li>
</ul>
Mainstream users don't typically interact with these systems directly, but may use blockchain storage unknowingly—such as when owning an NFT hosted on Arweave (<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AR-USD">AR</a>), a big blockchain data storage protocol.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Who Are the Biggest Players, and What&#8217;s Next?</h2>
Investors who like the blockchain storage story are likely owners of Arweave and Filecoin (<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/FIL-USD">FIL</a>). But there are others, including indirect investments in start ups that offer solutions the blockchain storage protocols need.
Space and Time (SXT) is one of them. They currently offer investors 7.9% yield for staking. Coinbase, Kraken and Binance, among others, offer this token on their exchange.
"We are primarily a compute network rather than a storage network, even though we store data in a decentralized manner," said Scott Dykstra, Co-Founder of Space and Time. The California-based company works with Microsoft Azure and Azure OpenAI Service in the traditional internet markets and with Chainlink (<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LINK-USD">LINK</a>) and Polygon Lab (<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MATIC-USD">MATIC</a>) in the blockchain space. Unlike predecessors who focused mainly on storage and struggled to integrate compute power, Space and Time has focused on verifiable compute, with storage being a necessary component to their business.
"Verifiable compute" is when a platform performs a computation on a blockchain —such as a basic structured query language (SQL queries) request that tells a database what data you want – they can cryptographically prove the result is correct without needing the user to trust the server that ran the calculation.
"Decentralized storage is important, but the real power behind them lies in running zero knowledge-proven computations over that data in order to deliver trustless, real-time insights to smart contracts," Dykstra said.
Like the traditional cloud, decentralized storage keeps the data safe and readily accessible. But that's not enough on its own. In blockchain ecosystems (like decentralized finance services and blockchain gaming), users need real-time decisions, including basic things like who won the game; or did this crypto wallet really make that trade; or what is the moving average of token trades in the last hour?
If a user can run computations on that stored data, and use zero-knowledge proofs to guarantee the result is correct, the user has now enabled trustless automation like using a credit card or a PIN-accessed ATM machine, which is what smart contracts need to actually act on.
Dykstra said investors should also look at Hyperliquid (HYPE) and ZKsync (ZK) as a potential blockchain storage play. ZK is offered on Coinbase and Kraken and Hyperliquid is mostly held by investors on the Hyperliquid exchange.
"I think Hyperliquid's building a great exchange, and ZKsync has arguably built some of the best rollup tech in the space," Dykstra said.&nbsp;
Storage platforms are increasingly being used in AI, data indexing, decentralized publishing, and blockchain scalability (e.g., data availability layers). The future likely holds more crossover with enterprise tech, particularly as token-based incentives prove more efficient for long-term or trustless storage.
Despite the VC deals mentioned earlier, the market for blockchain<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/45184025/crypto-venture-funding-surges-to-4-9b-in-q1-2025-highest-since-2022"> remains challenging</a> as VC firms seem more focused on AI, and not necessarily blockchain-related AI.
Excluding a large <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44281794/binance-secures-2-billion-investment-from-abu-dhabi-mgx">Binance funding round this year</a>, the first quarter crypto funding total ended up between $1.8–2 billion, a decline from Q1 2024. Deal count was less than half of that same quarter last year.
"We were fortunate to raise capital at a favorable time in early 2022," Dykstra said. "Getting Microsoft's venture fund backing us through the bear market gave a huge boost to our momentum."

$1000 Invested In This Stock 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Pony AI Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PONY#NASDAQ">PONY</a>) has emerged largely unscathed from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/short-sellers">a bear fight</a>. 
What To Know: Short Seller Grizzly Research issued a bearish report on Chinese autonomous vehicle company Pony.ai on Friday, raising concerns about the company&#8217;s technology.
Following a series of on-the-ground tests of the company&#8217;s self-driving vehicles, Grizzly alleged that Pony has &#8220;very little to offer&#8221; and is more of a &#8220;smoke and mirrors show.&#8221;
&#8220;Allegedly, PONY not only falsified data for its AV software, but management was also aware of the issues and was actively covering them up,&#8221; the short seller wrote in a research report. 
Benzinga has reached out to Pony.ai for comment on the report.
The firm highlighted comments from an apparent company employee suggesting that the company has used deceptive advertising to ride the autonomous vehicle hype. 
Grizzly said it determined from its own testing that Pony has fewer pick-up spots, longer waiting times and a worse customer experience than competitors in the space. The short seller said it confirmed the issues through expert interviews. 
Grizzly also raised concerns about the company&#8217;s financial standing and expressed concerns related to the company&#8217;s alleged dependency on the Chinese government. While capital needs are intensifying, the company&#8217;s financials are worsening, the short seller said. 
Pony made its public debut on the Nasdaq last year, raising $260 million in its IPO. Ahead of its IPO the company showed encouraging trends for revenue and profitability, but Grizzly said revenue growth has slowed and net losses are accelerating. 
Grizzly is also concerned about Pony&#8217;s valuation. The company had a market cap of approximately $4.54 billion as of Friday's close, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
The short seller believes the company&#8217;s valuation has benefited from &#8220;hype&#8221; in the robotaxi space. There is also excitement surrounding a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/46129177/pony-ai-stock-pops-on-report-uber-is-in-talks-with-travis-kalanick-to-invest-in-potential-deal">potential deal</a> with former Uber CEO Travis Kalanick that was reported in June. Grizzly believes a potential acquisition of the company&#8217;s U.S. operations is unlikely due to a lack of meaningful operations and the company&#8217;s aforementioned worsening financial standing. 
&#8220;We think that PONY finds itself fundamentally in a difficult position with worsening financials, growing cash needs, and fierce competition that seems way ahead. PONY's close ties to the Chinese government make any kind of acquisition very difficult from the investor's perspective,&#8221; the short seller said.
Pony announced last week that its seventh-generation robotaxi recently entered mass production for multiple models and began road testing. The company is targeting an expansion of its fleet to 1,000 vehicles by the end of 2025.
PONY Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/PONY" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pony.ai shares</a> are up approximately 135% over the past three months. The stock is trading essentially flat since the short report was published at the end of last week. Pony shares were trading higher early in Monday&#8217;s session, but were down 0.55% at $12.70 at the time of publication, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Pony AI Shrugs Off 'Worst Of The Robotaxi Hype' Short Seller Allegation

Elon Musk&#8217;s AI startup, xAI, is growing into a multi-billion-dollar behemoth at an astonishing rate, with a bit of help from his other businesses. Last week, The Wall Street Journal reported that SpaceX, another company founded by Musk, had invested $2 billion in the AI firm. And now, Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) shareholders may be allowed to vote on whether the EV maker should also invest in xAI, based on Musk&#8217;s cryptic comments on X.
However, Tesla is already doing business with xAI. The carmaker sold nearly $200 million worth of its energy storage batteries to xAI last year and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46347324/musk-says-grok-coming-to-teslas-by-next-week-evs-getting-the-smartest-ai-in-the-world">recently began integrating Grok</a>, xAI's chatbot, into its vehicles.
For ETF investors, this growing entanglement could mean more than meets the eye.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tesla ETFs: Passive Exposure To An Active Gamble?</h2>
ETFs that have Tesla as one of their leading holdings, such as trending innovation and AI-related funds like ARK Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#BATS">ARKK</a>), Grayscale Bitcoin Adopters ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BCOR#NYSE">BCOR</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), may now be unintentionally exposed to Musk&#8217;s AI empire, even though xAI is a privately held firm. With an expense ratio of 0.20%, QQQ is the cheapest of the three, compared with BCOR&#8217;s 0.59% and ARKK&#8217;s 0.75%.
These ETFs seem to be turning into proxy plays on Musk&#8217;s AI goals. They didn&#8217;t enroll for that, but Tesla&#8217;s increasing connections with xAI, both financial and technological, are making that connection difficult to overlook.
As of July, Tesla represented 18% of BCOR&#8217;s portfolio, 9.7% of ARKK&#8217;s portfolio and 2.7% of QQQ&#8217;s holdings. While Tesla&#8217;s fundamental business continues to be EVs and energy storage, its evolving emphasis on AI, software and ecosystem plays means ETF investors may be owning more than merely a car company.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">xAI Equation: Big Valuation, Bigger Risks</h2>
Established in the first half of 2023, xAI has had its value swell from $18 billion to a reported $200 billion in less than 18 months, according to Bloomberg, which reported last week that the firm is eyeing a $10 billion investment at a $200 billion valuation. Yet it&#8217;s also reported to be spending $1 billion every month, per Bloomberg.
Even though there is no direct public market access to xAI, Tesla&#8217;s increasing synergy with the startup indirectly influences Tesla&#8217;s operating and financial results, and consequently, the ETFs that hold it.
There&#8217;s precedent for alarm. Tesla itself was once a capital-consuming company, but the introduction of the Model 3 and Model Y transformed it into a cash machine. However, with Tesla&#8217;s EV sales under siege and the company holding $37 billion in cash, a potential xAI investment could represent either a strategic shift or a perilous distraction.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Retail Investors: Along For The Ride?</h2>
Most investors who own Tesla do so through ETFs, believing they&#8217;re investing in clean energy or next-generation transportation. However, with Tesla now on the verge of becoming an AI hardware vendor and even a potential investor in xAI, the boundaries between Musk&#8217;s public and private pursuits are becoming increasingly blurred.
Musk has directly stated that he doesn&#8217;t favor a merger of Tesla and xAI. Yet, even without a merger, cross-company business and common strategic objectives are bringing the two entities closer together. For ETF shareholders, the risk is straightforward: they could be exposed to the upside or downside of xAI without having a direct stake in it.
