Elon Musk&#8216;s artificial intelligence startup xAI is pursuing a $300 million share sale that would value the combined entity at $113 billion. The secondary offering allows existing staff to sell shares to new investors while validating the price tag established during xAI&#8217;s March acquisition of social media platform X.
What Happened: The tender offer represents the latest capital-raising effort for the AI company as competition intensifies in the generative artificial intelligence sector. The secondary sale will likely precede a larger primary funding round where xAI would issue new equity to external investors, the Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/703e93f1-28bf-4890-8c9c-141bf81dd206">reported</a>, citing sources.
The March transaction structured <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44549314/elon-musk-acquires-his-own-social-media-platform-x-through-xai-in-33-billion-deal-says-combined-entity-now-worth-80-billion">xAI&#8217;s valuation at $80 billion while pricing X at $33 billion</a>, creating the $113 billion combined enterprise value. Musk originally acquired Twitter for $44 billion in October 2022 before rebranding it as X and integrating it with his AI operations.
X Corp. did not immediately respond to&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and SpaceX.
The combined entity leverages synergies between xAI&#8217;s Grok chatbot technology and X&#8217;s data distribution network. Recent partnerships include Microsoft&#8217;s cloud integration and Telegram&#8216;s agreement to distribute Grok to one billion users. 
The strategy positions xAI to compete directly with OpenAI and other Big Tech AI rivals while monetizing X&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45599514/elon-musks-grok-ai-is-quietly-being-deployed-across-us-government-agencies-experts-warn-it-could-breach-privacy-laws-and-create-serious-conflicts-of-interest-report">user base and data assets</a>.

Americans are firing up their stovetops at the "highest levels since early 2020," Campbell's Co. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPB#NASDAQ">CPB</a>) chief executive Mick Beekhuizen told analysts on Monday.
What Happened: Beekhuizen declared in a post-earnings conference call that consumers are "turning to our brands for value, quality, and convenience" and "favoring ingredients that help stretch tighter food budgets."
Sales of condensed soup and broth — pantry staples that anchor low-cost meals — jumped 15% in Campbell's latest quarter, helping overall revenue beat Wall Street estimates even as the snacks division fell 5% on an organic basis.
The wallet shift comes as eating out grows pricier. Government data <a href="https://www.bls.gov/news.release/cpi.nr0.htm">show</a> the food-away-from-home index rose 3.9% in April from a year earlier, while prices for food at home slipped 0.4% on the month, widening the savings gap for households that choose their kitchens over restaurants.
Why It Matters: Fast-food giants are already feeling the heat. McDonald's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>) CEO Christopher Kempczinski said visits from low-income diners were down "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45336128/a-divided-economy-mcdonalds-ceo-says-rich-keep-dining-out-but-average-income-consumers-feeling-economic-anxiety">nearly double digits</a>" in the first quarter and middle-income consumers fell nearly as much. According to Reuters, Burger King&#8217;s parent, Restaurant Brands (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QSR#NYSE">QSR</a>), <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45292609/burger-king-parent-restaurant-brands-q1-earnings-miss-comparable-sales-drop-and-more">missed sales expectations</a> after noting that customers were steering inflation-hit dollars toward groceries. Chipotle (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMG#NYSE">CMG</a>) cut its sales outlook too, blaming persistent inflation and economic uncertainty that keep guests at home.

Broader metrics also flash caution. The University of Michigan's consumer-sentiment gauge sank to a three-year low in May as households braced for higher prices.
Campbell Soup Company reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/06/45720002/campbells-brews-up-strong-q3-beats-estimates-as-home-cooking-sector-simmers">third-quarter sales</a> of $2.475 billion, up 4% year-over-year and ahead of analyst expectations. Meals &amp; Beverages sales jumped 15%, offsetting an 8% decline in Snacks, while adjusted EPS of $0.73 beat the $0.66 consensus. The company also expanded operating cash flow to $872 million over nine months, delivered $110 million in cost savings, and continues to return capital through dividends and share buybacks.
Price Action: Campbell&#8217;s Co. shares closed 0.62% up at $34.25 on Monday.

Americans Are Cooking At Home More Than Ever Since COVID—And They Want Ingredients That Stretch Their Budget

Influential trader Justin Bennett raised alarm over Bitcoin&#8217;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) trajectory on Monday as whales increased their short exposure against retail investors.
What Happened:&nbsp;Bennett took to X, drawing attention to a bearish signal for the leading cryptocurrency. 
He highlighted that the whale vs retail delta indicator, sourced from cryptocurrency analytics platform Hyblock, which had been trending sideways or slightly higher, was now trending lower.
&#8220;Translation: Whales are once again increasing their BTC short exposure vs. retail,&#8221; Bennett stated. &#8220;Not a great sign for Bitcoin.&#8221;
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

The <a href="https://twitter.com/hyblockcapital?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@hyblockcapital</a> whale vs. retail delta was trending sideways to slightly higher, but is back to trending lower again.

The whale vs retail delta indicator is used to spot large gaps between retail longs and whale longs. This indicator ranges from -100 to 100. Very high (or positive) values indicate that whales are having higher long exposure than retail and vice versa.
A dip could mean that whales are increasing their short exposure. Since they control large amounts of cryptocurrency, whales have a greater power to influence market movements than retail.

Data from Coinglass <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/TopTrader/Binance">corroborated </a>these findings. About 54% of the whale accounts on Binance were long on the Apex Crypto as of this writing, down from 56% on May 31.
Why It Matters:&nbsp;Bennett&#8217;s remarks come as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45738110/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-rise-as-china-counters-trumps-trade-deal-breach-claim-analyst-says-btc-success-riding-on-health-of-us-economy">Bitcoin took a sharp U-turn</a> after surging past $106,000 overnight Monday. 
U.S.-China trade disputes continued to weigh on market sentiment. China rejected President&nbsp;Donald Trump's<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" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;allegations of violating the Geneva trade pact</a>.&nbsp;
Interestingly, Bitcoin continued to gain traction among institutional investors, with companies like&nbsp;Strategy Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) and Japan-based Metaplanet <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45722106/strategy-and-metaplanet-deepen-bitcoin-exposure-with-over-190-million-in-fresh-buys-amid-105k-market-level">significantly expanding</a> their Bitcoin holdings.

This Isn't A 'Great Sign' For Bitcoin, Says Top Currency Trader: 'Whales Are Once Again....'

On Monday, former OpenAI researcher Andrej Karpathy shared a practical breakdown of ChatGPT's various model versions, helping users understand which one to use based on their specific needs.
What Happened: In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Karpathy said many users remain confused about ChatGPT versions like GPT-4o, GPT-4 and "o3."
"o3 is the obvious best thing for important/hard things. It is a reasoning model that is much stronger than 4o and if you are using ChatGPT professionally and not using o3 you&#8217;re ngmi," he said.
He explained that GPT-4o, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38809935/openai-just-dropped-gpt-4o-and-these-10-examples-show-it-could-completely-change-ai-chatbot-game">OpenAI's latest model</a>, is ideal as a "daily driver" for easy-to-moderate tasks. "o4 is only available as mini for now, and is not as good as o3, and I&#8217;m not super sure why it&#8217;s out right now."
See Also:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45486639/sundar-pichai-reveals-google-parent-once-super-intensely-debated-about-buying-netflix-in-a-world-of-butterfly-effects" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sundar Pichai Reveals Google-Parent Once Super Intensely Debated About Buying Netflix: ‘In A World Of Butterfly Effects…&#8217;</a>
Karpathy offered a quick reference:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Use 4o for simple questions (~40% of his use)</li>
<li>Use o3 for complex, high-stakes queries (~40%)</li>
<li>Use GPT-4.1 for casual coding (~10%)</li>
<li>Use the "Deep Research" toggle—powered by o3—for deep dives (~10%)</li>
</ul>
He added that this guidance only applies within ChatGPT, as he also uses Anthropic's Claude, Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google Gemini, xAI's Grok and Perplexity for other tasks.

ChatGPT User? Former OpenAI Researcher Andrej Karpathy Breaks Down Which Version Works Best For Each Task

Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan believes startup founders can learn critical lessons from Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) forward-deployed engineers (FDEs) to compete against enterprise software giants.
What Happened: Speaking on the Lightcone Podcast, Tan outlined how the FDE model developed at Palantir, where he served as an employee and co-created the company logo from 2005 to 2007. &#8220;You can&#8217;t farm this out,&#8221; Tan said, emphasizing that founders must directly engage with customers like FDEs do.
The FDE concept emerged from Palantir&#8217;s recognition that Fortune 500 companies and government agencies lacked technical expertise at decision-making levels. Co-founders Peter Thiel, Alex Karp, and Stefan Cohen identified multi-billion-dollar problems in organizations drowning in data without understanding how to extract value.
Tan explained how FDEs sit directly with clients, like FBI agents investigating domestic terrorism, observing their actual workflows. &#8220;What&#8217;s funny is like literally it&#8217;s like Word documents and Excel spreadsheets,&#8221; Tan said, describing how FDEs convert manual processes into clean software solutions.
Traditional enterprise software companies send salespeople who rely on relationships and lengthy sales cycles lasting months or years. Palantir&#8217;s approach places engineers directly with customers using Foundry, their core data visualization platform. &#8220;Instead of the next meeting being reviewing 50 pages of sales documentation, it&#8217;s literally like &#8216;Okay we built it,'&#8221; Tan said.

Why It Matters: This methodology enables rapid feedback cycles within days rather than months, allowing smaller companies to compete against established players like Salesforce Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) and Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>). Y Combinator partner Jared Friedman noted that Palantir FDEs have become successful YC founders, crediting their training.
Palantir recently raised 2025 revenue guidance to $3.89-3.90 billion while projecting adjusted free cash flow between $1.6-1.8 billion. The company&#8217;s market cap currently stands at $310 billion, with analysts projecting potential <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/45716400/pharma-bro-martin-shkreli-sees-10-trillion-potential-in-palantir-but-cautions-one-bad-quarter-and-its-down-50">trillion-dollar valuations within three years</a>.
Tan emphasized that beating enterprise giants requires engineers who combine technical skills with empathy and product design capabilities. &#8220;You show them something that they&#8217;ve never seen before and make them feel super heard,&#8221; he said.

Wedbush Securities' managing director, Dan Ives, has reiterated his bullish views on Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) stock following CEO Elon Musk&#8217;s exit from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and the Trump administration.
What Happened: Ives shared that Musk's return to Tesla is crucial for the EV giant's robotics and AI vision, stating that it represents 90% of the company's future value, in an interview with Yahoo Finance <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/video/tesla-regained-biggest-asset-musk-201926865.html">on</a> Monday.
"The brand damage, I believe, is now contained and most of that is in the rearview mirror with him at the Trump administration," Ives said before adding that the focus is now on rebounding sales in Europe, the U.S. and China.
Ives also predicted that Tesla sales will see a rebound in China in the second half of the year, a "stabilization" in Europe, as well as a rebound in the U.S. sometime in Q3 2025.
Referring to Tesla's surge in value, Ives chalked it up to the CEO's recommitment to Tesla. "Once Musk recommitted to Tesla, days in the White House were done, Tesla got back its biggest asset."
Ives also said that Musk's return coincides with the biggest era in the company's history and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45557873/tesla-bull-dan-ives-thinks-elon-musks-ev-giant-could-be-entering-a-golden-era-says-2-trillion-market-cap-on-the-tablehttps://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45557873/tesla-bull-dan-ives-thinks-elon-musks-ev-giant-could-be-entering-a-golden-era-says-2-trillion-market-cap-on-the-table">reiterated a $2 trillion market cap</a> for Tesla.
Why It Matters: Ives' comments are in line with the investor's bullish views on Tesla, despite several experts offloading Tesla positions, including <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45665076/gary-blacks-future-fund-sells-remaining-tesla-stock-reitrates-310-price-target-tslas-valuation-has-become-disconnected">Future Fund LLC's Gary Black</a>.
The company is proceeding with the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45662671/tesla-targets-june-12-for-robotaxi-launch-in-austin-elon-musk-says-company-ramped-up-fsd-testing-a-month-ahead-of-schedule">June 12 Robotaxi launch</a> in Austin. Musk said that the company had been testing Unsupervised FSD in Austin in the buildup to the robotaxi launch "a month ahead of schedule."
Tesla sales continue to decline across multiple markets worldwide, with data showing that the company's sales <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/eurozone/25/06/45736798/tesla-sales-hit-3-year-low-in-this-european-nation-despite-musks-claims-of-no-demand-problem">fell 67% year-over-year in France</a>, marking a three-year low for the automaker.

Elon Musk Is Tesla's 'Biggest Asset,' Says Dan Ives As He Reiterates His $2 Trillion Market Cap For TSLA Stock

Veteran investor, Arthur Richards Rule IV, better known as Rick Rule, is the latest expert to sound the alarm on the long-term stability of the U.S. Dollar, warning that decades of unchecked federal spending and unfunded liabilities could erode the greenback&#8217;s purchasing power over the next decade.
What Happened: Speaking with Kitco News over the weekend, Rule says that the U.S. Government&#8217;s $30 trillion on-balance-sheet debt is only the beginning. 
He highlights the $100 trillion in unfunded promises, such as Medicare, Social Security, and federal pensions, which takes the total liability burden far higher, and closer to the nation&#8217;s total household net worth at $141 trillion. This only leaves a $11 trillion buffer against household wealth, which he believes is closing quickly.

Both categories of liabilities are growing by around $2 trillion per year, Rule says. At that pace, the remaining margin will disappear within five years, raising questions about long-term solvency.
Rule believes that the country, at its current fiscal state, can no longer service its obligations such as social security, Medicare, and pensions, while adding that "the only viable path is to allow the dollar to decline." &#8220;I believe because of this $100 trillion in unfunded entitlement liabilities that the U.S. dollar will lose 75% of its purchasing power over 10 years,&#8221; he says, pointing to the 1970s as precedent, when U.S. inflation wiped out 75% of the dollar's purchasing power in a single decade. The period also saw gold prices rise nearly 30-fold.
Speaking on gold, Rule made a very bullish case for the yellow metal, saying that he doesn&#8217;t own gold because he thinks it can get to $3,500 an ounce, he says, &#8220;I own gold because I'm afraid it's going to $12,000,&#8221; because &#8220;arithmetically, it makes absolute sense.&#8221;
Rule says that &#8220;the system isn't solvent. It's just liquid, for now,&#8221; warning investors relying on traditional portfolios and government bonds will find themselves eroded by this silent inflation. 
&#8220;As purchasing power quietly deteriorates, people will either adapt or pay the price,&#8221; he concludes. &#8220;You can't paper over arithmetic forever.&#8221;
Why It Matters: Other leading market experts have echoed similar concerns regarding U.S. assets, while reaffirming their conviction in gold.
Investor Chamath Palihapitiya recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45686648/chamath-palihapitiya-says-this-old-fashioned-asset-is-among-safe-trades-if-the-possibility-of-quantum-computing-cracking-bitcoin-is-even-remotely-true">called gold</a> the &#8220;only safe trade&#8221; on news of quantum computers capable of cracking Bitcoin&#8217;s encryption.
Leading hedge funds and financial institutions such as Bridgewater Associates, BlackRock Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>), and the Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) have all made a beeline to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/25/05/45457712/move-over-miners-hedge-funds-are-the-new-gold-diggers-ray-dalio-blackrock-goldman-sachs-others-stake-claims-in-gld">increase their exposure</a> to gold, citing similar concerns of hyper-borrowing by the U.S.
Price Action: The spot price of Gold stands at $3,362.37, up 2.21% on Monday. The SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>), which tracks the price of gold, is up 26.99% year-to-date.

Dollar To Lose 75% of Its Buying Power In Next 10 Years? Rick Rule Says If 1970's Are An Indicator It Could Happen

Just weeks after announcing its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45398101/microsoft-to-cut-6000-jobs-in-global-restructuring-joins-meta-and-amazon-in-trimming-workforce-amid-ai-driven-shift">largest round of layoffs</a> in years, Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) has decided to eliminate hundreds of additional jobs.
What Happened: On Monday, more than 300 Microsoft employees were told that their roles had been cut, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-02/microsoft-layoffs-continue-with-hundreds-more-cut">reported</a> Bloomberg, citing a Washington state notice.&nbsp;
A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed this development to the publication, saying, "We continue to implement organizational changes necessary to best position the company for success in a dynamic marketplace."
These layoffs follow the roughly 6,000 cuts Microsoft announced last month.

As per the report, while the specific roles affected have not been determined, previous layoffs primarily impacted software engineers.
The tech giant had about 228,000 full-time employees as of June 2024, out of which 55% were based in the U.S.
Why It's Important: Microsoft is currently the most valuable company in the world with a $3.43 trillion market capitalization.
The cuts come as Microsoft and other tech giants like Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45250949/tech-layoffs-get-the-headlines-but-its-uncle-sam-doge-whos-bleeding-workers-in-2025">double down on artificial intelligence</a>, investing billions while trimming non-AI-related headcount.
Previously, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/45093643/ai-is-reshaping-coding-at-microsoft-says-nadella-30-of-code-now-ai-generated">20% to 30% of the company's code</a> base is now being written with the help of AI.
Price Action: Microsoft shares rose 0.35% during Monday's regular trading session but slipped 0.26% in after-hours trading, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
According to Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings, Microsoft shows a favorable price trend across the short, medium and long term. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">You can explore more detailed metrics here</a>.

Microsoft Fires Hundreds More Workers Amid AI-Fueled Growth, Calls It Positioning The Company For 'Success'

Peter Schiff&nbsp;said Monday that his teachings on economics inadvertently led many to invest in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), despite his advice against it.
What Happened: Schiff shared&nbsp;his experience at the Bitcoin&nbsp;2025 conference on his YouTube podcast. He stated that many attendees credited him as the reason they bought the leading cryptocurrency. 
&#8220;Everybody was telling me, almost to a person, that I was the reason that they bought Bitcoin and they credit me, even though that was not my intention,&#8221; the staunch Bitcoin critic said.

&#8220;But the reason people were telling me they bought Bitcoin was because I taught them about economics. They learned economics from me, they learned about sound money they began to question the Fed,&#8221; Schiff added.
According to Schiff, David Bailey, who runs the conference, also credited the Bitcoin skeptic for his decision to buy Bitcoin.
&#8220;It wasn&#8217;t my intention. It&#8217;s kind of like a government program. It was an unintended consequence,&#8221; Schiff said.
Why It Matters: Schiff&#8217;s participated in the Bitcoin 2025 conference, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45610082/peter-schiff-says-hes-the-one-who-best-understands-bitcoin-gets-ready-to-wow-participants-at-crypto-conference-with-modest-booth">intending to present &#8220;contrarian opinions&#8221;</a> on the apex cryptocurrency.&nbsp;
During the conference, Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor took a dig at the economist while highlighting Bitcoin&#8217;s superiority over all assets, including gold. Schiff then challenged Saylor to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45709839/michael-saylor-says-bitcoin-is-engineered-to-outperfom-and-going-to-go-faster-than-gold-peter-schiff">one-on-one debate </a>over gold versus Bitcoin.

Peter Schiff Says It Was His Economic Teachings That Made People Want To Buy Bitcoin: 'An Unintended Consequence'

Mark Cuban says the highest-return wager he ever made wasn't a gamble he took investing on an obscure startup, or courtside tickets — but on himself.
What Happened: In a 2020 Men's Health <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMiXAqUPqao&amp;t=212s">video</a>, the billionaire behind the Dallas Mavericks recalls teaching himself to code because "if I put in the effort, I can learn almost anything," adding that the slog "has paid dividends for the rest of my life."
Cuban told viewers that when money is scarce, effort is cheap — and compound interest on knowledge never stops. "Some of the best investments I ever made were investing in myself, first and foremost," he said, urging newcomers to out-learn the competition because "most people don't put in the time to keep up and learn."
He is hardly alone. Warren Buffett <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/10/41418702/warren-buffetts-words-of-wisdom-benzinga-readers-pick-their-favorite-oracle-of-omaha-quote">calls self-improvement</a> "by far the best investment you can make," advice he repeated in a 2019 Yahoo Finance interview and countless shareholder meetings. Virgin Group founder Richard Branson <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/posts/rbranson_train-people-well-enough-so-they-can-leave-activity-7094663480783327232-WDuo/">says</a> leaders should "train people well enough so they can leave, treat them well enough so they don't want to," linking personal growth to corporate loyalty.

Ray Dalio, fellow billionaire and the founder of Bridgewater Associates, meanwhile, emphasizes personal growth through a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39127870/ray-dalios-blueprint-for-success-billionaire-investor-lists-out-5-step-guide-to-attain-your-goals">system of clear goals</a>, problem identification, root cause diagnosis, and relentless execution.
Why It Matters: Cuban's habit of self-funding growth shows up elsewhere, too. He <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43885487/billionaire-mark-cuban-said-the-first-step-to-getting-rich-is-giving-things-up-drink-water-eat-mac-and-cheese-and-save-every-penny?utm_source=chatgpt.com">advises</a> would-be millionaires to "become an expert in something" before chasing risk assets and to keep cash handy for opportunistic buys.
The investor who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45510105/mark-cuban-is-done-with-shark-tank-but-here-are-5-investments-on-the-show-that-made-him-some-serious-money">recently ended</a> his long run on Shark Tank, also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/42932626/billionaire-mark-cuban-on-college-costs-pick-the-cheapest-school-you-can-find-its-about-learning-not-prestige">encourages everyone</a> to go to college, even if they eventually decide to drop out. Cuban highlights the practical skills that can be gained in college, such as accounting, finance and marketing, which are invaluable even if you don&#8217;t finish your degree. He claims to have applied these lessons to build two successful companies, including Broadcast.com, which sold to Yahoo for $5.7 billion.

Mark Cuban Says Doing This One Thing Paid Him 'Dividends' For The Rest Of His Life, Shark Suggests Doing It When Money Is Scarce

Sen.&nbsp;Elizabeth Warren&nbsp;(D-Mass.) is once again calling out corruption in the Trump Administration, following a questionable decision made by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
What Happened: On Monday, Warren shared a video on X questioning the SEC&#8217;s recent approval of Brazilian meat processing company&nbsp;JBS SA&#8217;s&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBSAY#OTC">JBSAY</a>) listing on the New York Stock Exchange, despite its history of corruption, price fixing, and safety violations.
&#8220;JBS and its subsidiaries have been fined hundreds of millions of dollars for bribery, for price fixing, for safety violations, you name it,&#8221; Warren said.

She then highlighted the company&#8217;s connection with the Trump administration, bringing attention to the fact that JBS&#8217; subsidiary, Pilgrim&#8217;s Pride, contributed $5 million to President Donald Trump&#8217;s inauguration fund, the single-largest donation. 
&#8220;And can you guess which company made the single largest donation to Trump's inauguration? Pilgrim's Pride, which is owned by JBS,&#8221; while noting that the figure was higher than the contributions made by Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Meta Platforms Inc.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) combined.
&#8220;After a decade of trying and failing to get the green light to go public, suddenly Trump's SEC gives them the go-ahead,&#8221; she says. &#8220;That sounds pretty fishy to me.&#8221;
Warren said she has sent a letter to the CEOs of JBS and Pilgrim's Pride demanding answers. &#8220;We've got to fight back against shady corporate deals and stand up for the Americans who actually play by the rules,&#8221; she said.

The recording was presented to prosecutors as part of a plea bargain.
Temer replaced President Dilma Rousseff as the leader of Brazil. Rousseff was impeached for criminal administrative misconduct.
JBS shareholders approved the company&#8217;s proposal for a dual listing during its Extraordinary General Meeting held two weeks ago. Its shares are expected to begin trading in Brazil&#8217;s São Paulo Stock Exchange (B3), as well as the New York Stock Exchange, on June 9 and 12, respectively, according <a href="https://jbsfoodsgroup.com/articles/jbs-shareholders-approve-dual-listing">to</a> a press release.

Elizabeth Warren Says Trump 'Approved' The Largest Meat Company In World To Be Listed On NYSE Ignoring Corruption And Bribery History, Demands Answers

Shareholders of Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) rejected a proposal to consider adding Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) to the company&#8217;s balance sheet.
What Happened: A proposal for a &#8220;Bitcoin Treasury Assessment&#8221; garnered only&nbsp;3.92 million votes in favor, reflecting about 0.1% of the total. A whopping 4.98 billion votes, or 95% of the total, were cast against the proposal during the company&#8217;s annual shareholders meeting, according to a May 28 regulatory filing.
&#8220;The shareholders did not approve the shareholder proposal regarding Bitcoin treasury assessment,&#8221; a statement from the filing read

Why It Matters: Peck is a deputy director at the National Center for Public Policy Research&#8217;s, a U.S.-based conservative think tank, which submitted similar Bitcoin investment proposals to Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>).
While Microsoft <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42421374/microsoft-shareholders-reject-proposal-to-explore-bitcoin-investment">shareholders have rejected the proposal</a>, Amazon stakeholders have yet to vote on it.

Applied Digital Corp, Meta Platforms, Alphabet, Lyra Therapeutics, Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) co-founder Steve Jobs' widow, Laurene Powell Jobs, seems to have endorsed a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45602719/openais-acquisition-of-jony-ives-startup-poses-threat-to-apples-dominance">mysterious AI hardware</a> device being developed by Jony Ive and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
What Happened: In a Financial Times interview that was published on Monday, Ive reflected on his years designing the iPhone and its ripple effects on society.
"Many of us would say we have an uneasy relationship with technology at the moment," he said, referring to the harmful effects of technology like social media addiction.&nbsp;
The former Apple design chief said that his work on the AI-powered device with Altman is driven by a sense that "humanity deserves better."

"If you make something new, if you innovate, there will be consequences unforeseen … While some of the less positive consequences were unintentional, I still feel responsibility. And the manifestation of that is a determination to try and be useful."
Powell Jobs, who has remained close to Ive since Steve Jobs&#8217; passing in 2011, praised the collaboration and has invested in both his LoveFrom design firm and the io hardware startup behind the new device.
"If it wasn't for Laurene… there wouldn't be LoveFrom," Ive said. The AI hardware project, currently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45640879/openais-sam-altman-says-6-5b-deal-with-jony-ive-to-build-ai-companions-could-add-1-trillion-in-company-value-report">valued at $6.5 billion</a>, is being acquired by OpenAI.
Powell Jobs expressed cautious optimism, noting that while technology has "dark uses," she's inspired watching ideas go from a thought to drawings, to prototypes and then something you think can't get any better, but then seeing the next version.
Subscribe to the&nbsp;<a href="https://bztechtrends.beehiiv.com/subscribe" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter</a>&nbsp;to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
"Just watching something brand new be manifested, it's a wondrous thing to behold," she stated.
When asked if this new device will rival Apple&#8217;s offerings, she said, "I'm still very close to the leadership team in Apple. They're really good people and I want them to succeed also."
Before meeting Steve Jobs, Powell Jobs built her career in finance and is now estimated to be worth $11.4 billion.
Why It's Important: Previously, Ive referred to smartphones and laptops as "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45638355/headline-apples-former-design-chief-jony-ive-called-phones-and-laptops-legacy-platforms-google-ceo-sundar-pichai-said-pulling-out-a-black-glass-rectangle-wont-make-sense-forever-though-new-age-devices-havent-really-taken-off-yet">legacy products</a>," implying that they no longer define the future of computing.
Earlier, Gene Munster cautioned that OpenAI poses the first major competitive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45599511/apple-faces-first-serious-threat-in-20-years-as-openai-acquires-iphone-makers-former-design-chief-jo">threat to Apple in 20 years</a> following the AI startup's acquisition of Ive's hardware startup.
Apple has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45602719/openais-acquisition-of-jony-ives-startup-poses-threat-to-apples-dominance">struggling to make meaningful advancements</a> in AI. The tech giant is also experiencing a wave of departures, including senior executives and engineers.
This talent drain comes as rivals like Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google and Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) continue to push forward in the generative AI race.
Price Action: Apple shares climbed 0.42% during Monday's regular trading session, as per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>.
According to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Apple holds a growth score of 32.97%. Click here to compare it with other major players such</a> as Alphabet and Microsoft.

What Happened: Bitcoin surpassed $106,000 overnight, after fluctuating between $104,000 and $105,000 throughout the day. Trading volume jumped 30% from the previous day.
Similarly, Ethereum broke past $2,600 in the late evening rally, with volume rising by over 43% in the last 24 hours. The spike comes after co-founder Vitalik Buterin said that the blockchain&#8217;s base layer <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/25/06/45716370/ethereums-l1-will-be-scaled-by-10x-over-the-next-year-says-vitalik-buterin">will be scaled by 10x</a> in about a year.
Bitcoin's market dominance narrowed to 63.8%, while Ethereum's share of the market widened to 9.5%
More than $200 million was liquidated from the cryptocurrency market in the last 24 hours, with bearish bets accounting for 62% of the total liquidations.
Moreover, nearly $363 million in shorts risked liquidation if BTC rallied to $108,000.
Ethereum's Open Interest jumped 7.22% in the last 24 hours, reaching a new all-time high of $36.46 billion. More than 60% of Binance traders with open ETH positions were long at the time of writing.

The global cryptocurrency market capitalization stood at $3.34 trillion, following an increase of 1.08% in the last 24 hours.
Stocks edged up on the first trading day of June. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 35.41 points, or 0.08%, to end at 42,305.48. The S&amp;P 500 rose 0.41% to close at 5,935.94, while the tech-focused Nasdaq Composite spiked 0.67% to end at 19,242.61.
Investors continued to monitor developments around the U.S.-China trade dispute. China rejected President Donald Trump&#8217;s<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"> allegations of violating the Geneva trade pact</a>. Instead, it accused the U.S. of imposing &#8220;discriminatory restrictive&#8221; policies, such as limiting AI chip exports.

Analyst Notes: Blockchain analytics firm Santiment observed that cryptocurrency traders were being cautious about Bitcoin.
"Bitcoin mentions across social media show 1.3 bullish comments for every 1 bearish comment. This reflects the crowd&#8217;s high association between BTC and the stock market, with its success highly contingent on a healthy American economy," Santiment stated.
On the other hand, there was euphoria for Ethereum, with 3 bullish comments for every 1 bearish comment, likely due to its 41% surge last month.

Cryptocurrency analyst and trader Michaël van de Poppe noted a "hidden bullish divergence" for ETH, signaling a potential upward breakout.&nbsp;
"It&#8217;s still taking a lot of time, but happy to be seeing the consolidation while still being up a lot from the low in April," Van De Poppe said.

When a big inheritance lands in your lap, your instincts may tell you to start making "smart" moves—buy the house, hire the advisor, set up the portfolio. But <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45485339/mom-asks-suze-orman-did-we-create-a-monster-23-year-old-daughter-has-250k-saved-but-refuses-to-pay-for-dates-or-family-outings">Suze Orman</a> has one word for you: don't.
On an April episode of her "Women &amp; Money" podcast, Orman gave a sobering but powerful message to anyone facing the emotional chaos that often comes with a sudden windfall. The <a href="https://omny.fm/shows/suze-ormans-women-and-money/suze-school-revisiting-recognizing-financial-advisor-abuse?in_playlist=podcast">episode focused on a 57-year-old woman</a> who had just lost her husband and was trying to figure out what to do with a $7 million life insurance payout.
"She was left to the tune of $7 million," Orman said. "Now this woman has never dealt with $7 million in her life."

</ul>
And Orman's advice?
"You are to do nothing other than <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44715539/suze-orman-says-when-sentiment-is-this-fearful-its-not-the-time-to-sell-but-if-youll-need-the-money-in-5-years-it-shouldnt-be-in-the-market">keep this money safe and sound</a>," she said. "Except obviously pay off debts and things like that, but nothing besides that. For at least six months, one year or two years after suffering the loss of a loved one."
Orman's reasoning is deeply rooted in psychology—and experience.
"You may feel like you are making the right decisions and that you know what you're doing when it comes to money that you've never handled before, but I'm here to tell you," she said. "You are not in your body. You will get taken advantage of possibly, but you will not be doing that which you should be doing with this money."
The woman, a mother of four—ages 21, 18, 16, and 12—was three months into grieving her husband when she initially reached out to Orman. At that time, Orman carefully guided her to place the full $7 million into a treasury money market account through a reputable brokerage firm, where she'd earn around 4%–5% interest with minimal risk. The instructions were crystal clear:
"You are to do nothing. Do not touch this money. You are just going to let it sit there," she said.&nbsp;
Trending: Can you guess how many retire with a $5,000,000 nest egg? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/5mil-nest-egg-adv">The percentage may shock you</a>.
But that didn't last.
Months later, a financial advisor from that very brokerage firm contacted her and convinced her to split up $2.4 million into two annuities—$1.5 million in one, $900,000 in another—and planned to invest the rest in stocks and bonds, leaving only $1.5 million in the money market account.
Orman was livid.
"Nothing upsets me more than that," she said, referring to advisors who act in their own financial interest before a grieving client is emotionally ready. "We all deserve to know what to do with money, to be taken care of, to not have some financial adviser do things with people's money when they're not ready to do it just 'cause this person may make more money or his firm may make more money."
So what should you do if you suddenly come into a large sum of money, whether from an inheritance, lottery win, or sale of a business?

According to Orman: slow down. Park the money somewhere safe, like a treasury-backed money market account. Let the dust settle before you make life-altering decisions—especially ones driven by outside "experts" with a commission in the balance.
Financial planners often say one of the worst times to make big decisions is after a major emotional event. Behavioral economists call it "decision fatigue." Grief only amplifies it.
That said, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44616088/dave-ramsey-caller-tells-him-following-advice-to-pay-off-house-didnt-work-because-now-she-has-no-credit-but-he-says-that-was-the-point">there's a valid counterpoint</a>: waiting too long to make any moves can expose your money to inflation risk, market shifts, or—ironically—bad advice from friends and family. The key is balance. Take Orman's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45498403/what-is-your-emotional-money-score-suze-ormans-20-questions-to-determine-if-you-are-in-control-of-your-money-or-if-its-in-control-of-you">advice as a mandate</a> to protect your money until you're mentally ready, not a reason to ignore it completely.
Because <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">$7 million is a lot</a>. But peace of mind? That's priceless.
