Ace investor and fund manager, Cathie Wood, is doubling down on Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>), reaffirming her confidence in the company's ability to lead the enterprise AI race, as shifting market dynamics disrupt established players in this space.
What Happened: On Saturday, the Ark Invest CEO quoted a post on X by Brett Winton, the firm's chief futurist, who simply wrote, "Excel. Will. Die." The post predicts the eventual downfall of Microsoft Corp.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) widely used spreadsheet software, which has been a mainstay in office environments for decades.

In response to the post, Wood questioned how Microsoft and its enterprise clients would navigate the &#8220;massive disruption,&#8221; before saying, &#8220;Palantir comes to mind.&#8221; 
According to Wood, Palantir CEO Alex Karp believes that the company will become the largest pure-play enterprise AI software company in the world, &#8220;I believe him,&#8221; she says.

Why It Matters: Palantir is now Ark Invest's <a href="https://cathiesark.com/ark-funds-combined/complete-holdings">second-largest holding</a> after Tesla, with a stake valued at $640 million, representing about 7% of its total assets under management across its family of funds.
Microsoft has made significant headway in enterprise AI, with the segment already sporting a <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43327008/microsofts-13-billion-run-rate-and-openai-azure-deal-spark-surge-in-enterprise-demand-for-ai-solutions-just-first-tranche-of-future-growth-potential">$13 billion annual run rate</a>, a figure that is nearly 5 times Palantir&#8217;s annual revenue in 2024. However, the latter is gaining ground rather quickly and is already pulling ahead in sectors such as defense. 
While Microsoft continues to pursue cloud dominance, <a href="https://benzinga.com/trading-ideas/technicals/25/04/44947382/palantir-rolls-out-tanks-microsoft-builds-clouds-whos-winning-ais-next-frontier">Palantir is inking partnerships</a> with major defense contractors and is in the process of building a futuristic AI-powered tank.

President Donald Trump vowed Sunday to "bring Columbus Day back from the ashes." 
What Happened: Trump pledged on Truth Social to restore the federal holiday "under the same rules, dates, and locations" it held for decades. 
"The Democrats did everything possible to destroy Christopher Columbus, his reputation, and all of the Italians that love him so much," he wrote, adding that statues toppled during racial-justice protests would see a "major comeback."
Trump's declaration reignites a long-running culture clash over the second Monday in October. In 2021, former President Joe Biden became the first sitting president to <a href="https://bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2021/10/08/a-proclamation-indigenous-peoples-day-2021/">issue a proclamation</a> recognizing Indigenous Peoples Day, noting the "resilience and strength" of Native communities and the "systematic" federal policies that once sought to erase them. Many cities and states have since replaced or paired Columbus Day with observances honoring Indigenous history.

During his first term, Trump routinely praised Columbus as a symbol of exploration, saying in a <a href="https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/presidential-actions/presidential-proclamation-columbus-day-2018/">2018 proclamation</a> that the navigator's voyage "formed the initial bond between Europe and the Americas, and changed the world forever." He never referenced Indigenous Peoples Day.
Why It Matters: Trump's promise to elevate Columbus Day fits in with his broader campaign against what he calls "woke" initiatives, from scrapping federal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44344917/trumps-ban-on-dei-programs-allowed-for-now-by-appeals-court">diversity-equity programs</a> to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44804541/trump-administration-halts-2-2-billion-in-harvard-grants-after-university-says-dont-dictate-what-we-can-teach-or-who-we-admit">threatening to pull funds</a> from universities that adopt policies he opposes. The former president has repeatedly criticized teaching U.S. history through themes of oppression and race, casting his holiday push as another salvo in that culture war.
Ironically, Columbus Day itself was conceived as a tribute to diversity, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-columbus-indigenous-peoples-day-biden-ee34f1873a9af8ea85ac732b9edf82fc">according</a> to the Associated Press. Lawmakers embraced the explorer in the late 19th century to court Italian-American voters as immigration from Italy surged. Columbus never reached the future United States, but his Genoese roots offered a convenient symbol for newcomers seeking acceptance — and for politicians eager to win their support.

Last Tuesday, Elon Musk revealed that he is shifting focus from the Department of Government Efficiency to Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>). The announcement sent the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45029648/tesla-stock-skyrockets-20-following-elon-musks-return-and-shift-from-doge">automaker's stock soaring</a> nearly 24% in the past five days. Now, Donald Trump's AI and crypto czar, David Sacks, has offered insight into Musk's management strategy.
What Happened: During <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44937440/tesla-q1-misses-estimates-as-tariff-pressures-weigh-on-outlook-lower-cost-evs-still-on-track">Tesla's first-quarter earnings</a> call, Musk said that he would significantly reduce his time commitment to DOGE, dedicating only one to two days per week moving forward.
Over the weekend, in an episode of the All-in Podcast, Sacks explained that Musk isn't entirely stepping away from DOGE but rather streamlining his efforts to better balance his many responsibilities.
&#8220;I saw this before when I was part of the Twitter transition,&#8221; Sacks explained, adding that for the first three months, Musk dedicated intense bursts of time to get the right people in place and then shifted to a maintenance mode.
&#8220;He&#8217;s going to stay involved, but as an SGE [Special Government Employee], he&#8217;s limited to 130 days a year anyway, and so it makes sense for him to kind of now ration his days a little more closely,&#8221; referring to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44557947/doge-blowback-aside-elon-musk-considers-tesla-a-solid-opportunity">Tesla CEO&#8217;s role at DOGE</a>.

Why It's Important: Tesla&#8217;s first-quarter revenue reached $19.34 billion, a 9% drop from the same period last year. This figure fell short of Wall Street&#8217;s expectations, missing the $21.35 billion consensus estimate.
Following Musk's announcement about significantly reducing time at DOGE, Daniel Ives from Wedbush Securities responded positively and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44945402/wedbushs-dan-ives-raises-teslas-price-target-to-350-as-musk-promises-to-significantly-reduce-doge-time">raised Tesla's price target</a> to $350 per share.
However, not all analysts were optimistic about Tesla&#8217;s earnings. Ross Gerber expressed growing skepticism about Musk's ambitious projections. Gerber called it the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44941889/teslas-sweet-little-lies-hide-worst-performance-ever-elon-musks-robot-takeover-talk-is-just-a-smokescreen-says-ross-gerber">worst performance he has seen</a> in his 11 years of covering the company.
Price Action: Tesla&#8217;s shares have risen by 23.73% over the past five days. However, despite this gain, the stock is still down 24.87% year-to-date, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
According to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, Tesla currently holds a growth score of 45.57%. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it compares</a> to other companies in the sector.

Elon Musk says the surgical scalpel is about to lose its top billing to algorithms and actuators, predicting "robots will surpass good human surgeons within a few years and the best human surgeons within ~5 years."
What Happened: Replying to tech commentator Mario Nawfal's post on X touting robot-run operating rooms, Musk added that Neuralink "had to use a robot for the brain-computer electrode insertion, as it was impossible for a human to achieve the required speed and precision."

Neuralink's R1 machine places 64 hair-thin threads into the cortex in about 15 minutes, steering past blood vessels with micron-level accuracy, according to the company's hardware blog and earlier public demos.​ The robot is now part of the <a href="https://neuralink.com/blog/prime-study-progress-update/">PRIME human trial</a> testing the N1 wireless implant in patients with paralysis.​

Musk's timeline lands as autonomous systems notch real-world wins. Johns Hopkins' Smart Tissue Autonomous Robot recently stitched pig intestines with <a href="https://hub.jhu.edu/2022/01/26/star-robot-performs-intestinal-surgery/">leak-free precision</a> that matched or beat experienced surgeons.​ A January study cited by Reuters even found robots reduced complications in complex liver procedures versus open surgery.​
Even semi-autonomous platforms are surging: Intuitive Surgical says its surgeon-controlled da Vinci systems have logged nearly 17 million procedures worldwide.​ Peer-reviewed analyses report that algorithm-guided suturing and screw placement now outperform human averages for accuracy and consistency.​
Why It Matters: Musk isn&#8217;t the only one backing humanoid robots to replace skilled hospital doctors. Bill Gates, in a recent chat, mentioned that he foresees robots with dexterous &#8220;hands&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44857520/bill-gates-says-his-kids-and-grandkids-will-live-in-a-very-changed-world-as-ai-puts-an-end-to-shortage-of-teachers-and-doctors">making it routine</a> to staff hospitals, adding that he&#8217;s certain that his kids and grandkids will live in a &#8220;very changed world&#8221;.
Meanwhile, Musk also believes Neuralink will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/04/44892867/elon-musk-says-neuralink-will-help-blind-people-see-again-will-exceed-the-best-human-eyes">help restore vision</a> for the "completely blind," pointing to early milestones such as implant recipient Noland Arbaugh, who now <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44358022/paralyzed-man-moves-objects-with-his-mind-thanks-to-elon-musks-brain-chip">controls a computer cursor</a> with his thoughts.

Analyst Notes:&nbsp; Prominent cryptocurrency analyst Willy Woo noted on X that &#8220;BTC fundamentals have turned bullish,&#8221; providing a favorable environment to break all-time highs. Woo highlighted increasing capital flows into the network, with both total and speculative flows bottoming out. 
&#8220;All dips are for buying under the present regime,&#8221; Woo summarized, though cautioning that Bitcoin&#8217;s short-term movement may be limited due to overextension.

Meanwhile, analyst Michaël van de Poppe said that altcoins are turning bullish after &#8220;the longest bear market ever,&#8221; which lasted four years. 
Van de Poppe emphasized the correlation between Chinese Renminbi/U.S. Dollar movements and Ethereum&#8217;s performance against Bitcoin, suggesting that macroeconomic factors are more influential than traditional four-year crypto cycles.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Drop As Stock Futures Slide: Willy Woo Says 'All Dips Are For Buying' With BTC Eyeing 'All-Time Highs

Hedge fund manager Spencer Hakimian calls out the &#8220;stupidity&#8221; of the current trade and tariff war, while pushing back against the notion that the United States is losing out in global trade.
What Happened: Hakimian, the founder of New York-based hedge fund Tolou Capital Management, posted on X Sunday night, pointing out that S&amp;P 500 companies generate nearly $1.17 trillion in annual revenue from China. 
This is six times more than the value of goods and services these companies export from the U.S. to China, at $200 billion, according to data from FactSet, Macrobond, the Census Bureau, and Apollo&#8217;s Chief Economist.
&#8220;Nobody dominates and benefits more from global trade than the United States,&#8221; Hakiaman says, while highlighting the popularity of American brands and products in China, such as Apple Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) iPhone, coffee at Starbucks Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>), and burgers by McDonald&#8217;s Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>), among several others.

&#8220;Tearing the current system down voluntarily would be the biggest unforced error in economic history,&#8221; he says, adding that there is &#8220;no precedent for this level of stupidity.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Several prominent voices have echoed similar concerns in recent weeks regarding the tariffs and the United States&#8217; widening trade deficit. 
Last week, investor Mark Cuban said that &#8220;having a trade deficit with China isn't such a bad thing for the U.S.,&#8221; citing the <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44897891/mark-cuban-says-its-a-game-of-chicken-with-china-as-he-questions-trumps-strategy-behind-tariffs-you-cant-be-dogmatic-in-business-or-government">surplus in services</a> that the U.S. has with China, which now stands to get hit, along with agricultural exports.
Similarly, former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers <a href="https://benzinga.com/news/25/04/44776458/obama-era-treasury-secretary-larry-summers-rejects-china-cheating-at-trade-narrative-we-get-ev-batte">rejected the narrative</a> that China was cheating on trade, saying that &#8220;if China wants to sell us things at really low prices, it&#8217;s kind of a good deal for us,&#8221; when addressing questions regarding predatory pricing and dumping at the University of Austin two weeks ago.
However, others, such as Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood, have come out in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44881540/cathie-wood-says-shes-trusting-trump-will-get-call-on-tariffs-right-investors-shorting-the-equity-market-now-will-be-caught-flat-footed-or-worse">support of the tariffs</a>, saying that if negotiations lead to lower tariffs and non-tariff barriers globally, &#8220;it would be a very good thing.&#8221;
Economist Arthur Laffer, while critical of the tariffs themselves, has praised President Donald Trump&#8217;s negotiation style, saying that if this leads to <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/04/44892570/fairer-trade-or-economic-trainwreck-elerian-breaks-down-the-administrations-two-futures">lower global trade barriers</a>, it would be an outcome that he would applaud.
