Elon Musk last month appeared on the <a href="https://youtu.be/BDREZmpkIz8?si=OrWW63POKaHORcJN">"Verdict with Ted Cruz" podcast</a>, where the Texas senator threw him a rare question: Who's the smartest guy you've ever met?
Musk didn't hesitate. He named two heavyweights — Larry Ellison and Larry Page — both billionaires, both tech legends, and at one point, both close friends of Musk.
"Larry Ellison's very smart," Musk said. "I will say Larry Ellison is one of the smartest people."
He added, "You know, Larry Page… there are a lot of people that are very smart."

He didn't stop there.

But when it came to Ellison and Page, Musk had more personal history.
Ellison wasn't just impressed by Musk from afar. In 2018, when Tesla was battling lawsuits and controversy over Musk's "funding secured" tweet about taking the company private, Ellison stepped in. He bought a $1 billion stake in Tesla, joined the company's board, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41185303/elon-musk-says-larry-ellison-is-awesome-after-oracle-ctos-old-video-praising-tesla-ceo-resurfaces">publicly backed Musk</a>, calling Tesla an "amazing company" and describing Musk as a "very close friend."

At a time when investors were running for cover, Ellison was standing next to him.
Page's relationship with Musk ran even deeper — and ultimately more complicated.
Musk and Page once shared an easy friendship, spending long nights talking about humanity's future, space colonization, and artificial intelligence. Musk said he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/03/37923084/elon-musk-used-to-email-ex-google-ceo-larry-page-when-he-was-kind-of-homeless-and-ask-can-i-come">would even stay at Page's house</a> while visiting Silicon Valley.
But the friendship cracked. Musk believed AI development needed strict oversight; Page, according to Musk, was "cavalier" about the risks. The philosophical divide led Musk to help launch OpenAI as a nonprofit competitor to Google's DeepMind, and the two friends drifted apart.

If They Could Show A Plan For Ending World Hunger He'd Donate $6 Billion – ‘I Will Sell Tesla Stock Right Now And Do It'</a>
Still, before things soured, Page made it clear just how much faith he had in Musk.
In a 2014 <a href="https://blog.ted.com/computing-is-still-too-clunky-charlie-rose-and-larry-page-in-conversation/">TED interview with Charlie Rose</a>, Page said: "If I were to get hit by a bus today, I should leave all of it to Elon Musk."
Page argued that Musk's mission to "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42154628/larry-page-google-co-founder-said-hed-leave-his-fortune-to-elon-musk-over-charity-because-of-his-plans-to-go-to-mars-to-back-up-humanity">back up humanity" by building a future on Mars</a> was a better bet than funneling billions into traditional charities.
Musk's answer wasn't about old alliances or loyalty. It showed that even after friendships cracked, companies competed, and philosophies clashed, he could still recognize brilliance when he saw it — and wasn't afraid to applaud it, even from a distance.

Here's How Much $100 Invested In IDEXX Laboratories 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

American Express (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXP#NYSE">AXP</a>) is riding high — and so are its richest customers.
While warnings of a tariff-fueled recession swirl and some Americans are pulling back on spending, AmEx says its most affluent cardholders are still dropping cash on the finer things — especially dining out, which CFO Christophe Le Caillec last week called "the ultimate discretionary expense."

<li>How do billionaires pay less in income tax than you?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/tax-deferring-adv"> Tax deferring is their number one strategy</a>.</li>
</ul>
In Q1, billed business on AmEx cards jumped 7.5% year over year, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44862333/american-express-q1-card-spending-strong-ceo-maintains-annual-outlook-contingent-on-economic-climate">helping push revenue to $17 billion, an 8% increase</a>. That's better than Wall Street expected — and according to CEO Stephen Squeri, it's largely thanks to confident spending from the top tier.
Restaurant and hotel spending stayed strong, while airline spending cooled slightly. But it's not just older cardholders footing the bill anymore. The real surge came from younger Americans: 60% of AmEx's 3.4 million new cardholders last quarter were Gen Z and millennials. Those groups also spent 14% more compared to last year — compared to just a 1% increase from boomers.
AmEx is leaning into that shift. Squeri said younger customers are flocking to the card for its lifestyle perks, like restaurant credits and access to premium dining through acquisitions like Resy and Tock. He even dubbed the revamped Gold Card "the Restaurant Card."

And despite rising economic uncertainty, AmEx isn't pulling back. Squeri said the company sees no reason to yank its full-year forecast of 8–10% revenue growth. "It's probably easy to pull guidance," <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/american-express-ceo-aprils-stock-market-volatility-hasnt-sent-customers-into-their-bunkers-122606716.html">he told Yahoo Finance</a>, "but what are you going to pull if you know you're still within your guidance range?"
"There's a lot of stability and strength, despite the news and the environment," <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/17/american-express-cardholders-still-spending-despite-trump-tariffs.html">Le Caillec explained to CNBC.</a>
That confidence sets AmEx apart from other companies, including JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) and major retailers, that are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/04/44717888/jpmorgan-jamie-dimon-warns-recession-now-likely-outcome">warning of a slowdown</a> and ditching forecasts due to tariff chaos and market whiplash. Meanwhile, Le Caillec said that while some small businesses may be stockpiling inventory ahead of potential price hikes, AmEx's core spending levels don't appear artificially inflated.

The rich are still swiping, but what about everyone else?&nbsp;
Beyond the platinum perks and premium cardholders, the broader economy is flashing warning signs. U.S. small business confidence dropped sharply in March, with only 21% of owners expecting better conditions ahead—the lowest since October 2024, according to the <a href="https://www.nfib.com/news/analysis/small-business-optimism-slips-in-march-research/">National Federation of Independent Business</a>.&nbsp;
Sales expectations also fell to their lowest point since before the 2024 election. Meanwhile, consumers across income levels are tightening their belts. A <a href="https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/consumer-packaged-goods/our-insights/the-state-of-the-us-consumer">McKinsey survey</a> found that 75% of Americans reported trading down in categories like groceries and apparel, and many are delaying non-essential purchases amid inflation concerns.&nbsp;

In a country wrestling with rising crime rates, viral videos of smash-and-grab robberies, and heated debates about bail reform, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44940401/elon-musk-says-hell-only-spend-day-or-two-per-week-on-government-matters-to-ensure-fraud-does-not-come-roaring-back-ceos-focus-to-shift-to-tesla-beginning-may">Elon Musk</a> says the conversation has gone dangerously off track.
A few months ago, Musk sat down with Tucker Carlson earlier this year to talk about what he sees as one of America's growing blind spots: misplaced empathy.
"What I see is what I call shallow empathy," Musk said. "People have empathy for the criminals but not empathy for the victims of the criminals."

<ul>
<li>Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart &amp; Target – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">Many are rushing to grab 4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for just $0.26/share!</a></li>
<li>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>.</li>
</ul>
Musk wasn't talking about hypothetical issues. He pointed to a hard reality: a small slice of society — "a few percent," as he put it — struggle with severe anger problems or "enjoy hurting other people." Without serious consequences, he warned, they don't just stop.
"If you do not incarcerate them," Musk said, "they will hurt other people."
Rather than asking what makes politicians or activists feel good about themselves, Musk argued society needs a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/04/44973207/elon-musks-critics-on-x-see-sudden-drop-in-visibility-raising-questions-about-platforms-free-speech-commitments">harder conversation about the greater good</a>. "I believe one should have deep empathy and ask, what is the greater good for society?" he said. "Is it better to incarcerate violent criminals and prevent them from hurting people, or to let them loose and allow those people to be hurt? I think the latter is much worse."
Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $250 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
Musk's frustration taps into a <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/11/06/us-news/progressive-los-angeles-da-george-gascon-voted-out/">broader national debate</a>. In cities like Los Angeles, efforts to soften criminal sentencing have triggered public backlash. District Attorney George Gascón, criticized for scaling back prosecutions and sentencing enhancements, faced a tough reelection fight against Nathan Hochman, who promised to bring back stricter penalties in the name of protecting victims.&nbsp;
Carlson agreed with Musk, pointing out that modern thinking seems more concerned with showing compassion toward criminals than with protecting victims.
But Musk wasn't finished. He tied the same kind of shallow decision-making to a wider frustration: the suffocation of innovation in America.
Citing endless regulations, ballooning bureaucracy, and the rise of consultants who profit without building anything, Musk compared the situation to an "Atlas Shrugged" scenario, where true creators are buried under a mountain of red tape.
"I build cars, I build rockets, I build satellite internet," Musk said. "I can't put myself in the mindset of someone who wants to do crime. I don't want to hurt people."

If They Could Show A Plan For Ending World Hunger He'd Donate $6 Billion – ‘I Will Sell Tesla Stock Right Now And Do It'</a>
Musk blamed part of the problem on people growing up in "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44598039/elon-musk-says-were-living-in-the-best-time-and-if-you-disagree-you-probably-should-read-a-history-book-when-else-would-you-want-to-be-alive">safe, sheltered environments</a>," unable to grasp the harsh realities of violence because they've never seen it up close. Well-meaning but naive, they design policies with good intentions — but innocent people pay the price.
His message cuts deeper than crime statistics: in a society built on shallow empathy, the real victims aren't just forgotten — they're sacrificed.

A space flight that included Katy Perry and Jeff Bezos' fiancée Lauren Sánchez generated plenty of headlines about their short 11-minute flight and the point of the mission, while it made history for having<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/02/44019974/katy-perry-gayle-king-lauren-sanchez-headline-next-blue-origin-space-flight-how-jeff-bezos-fiancee-crew-will-make-history"> all women aboard.</a>
The company behind the space flight is now taking reservations and deposits for the "new generation of astronauts."
What Happened: Perry, Sánchez and several other women were the latest to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/04/44786258/katy-perry-lauren-sanchez-among-blue-origins-all-women-ns-31-crew-set-to-take-flight-in-west-texas"> take a trip to space</a> aboard the Blue Origin New Shepard, a space flight company founded by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.
A <a href="https://x.com/blueorigin/status/1916928601485701442">tweet </a>on X is encouraging those interested in seeing Earth "like never before" to book their trip to space on the New Shepard.
"Return to Earth, Forever Changed," the Blue Origin <a href="https://www.blueorigin.com/new-shepard/fly?utm_campaign=NS_sales_fly_social_campaign&amp;utm_source=partner&amp;utm_medium=social+&amp;utm_content=social_ad">website </a>says.
While in the New Shepard, astronauts soar above the Kármán Line and fly at more than three times the speed of sound. The passing of the Kármán line, the internationally recognized boundary of space 62 miles (100 km) above Earth, is unique as rival space flight company Virgin Galactic (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPCE#NYSE">SPCE</a>) does not take its astronauts to this line.
Blue Origin completed its first human flights in 2021 and has now completed 11 human space flights, including the latest all-women venture.
Among the bigger names to fly to space with Blue Origin along with pop singer Perry include Bezos himself, William Shatner, Michael Strahan and Dude Perfect's Coby Cotton.
You may not be a billionaire like Jeff Bezos, but you can uncover hidden gems in the stock market using our proprietary data and pattern recognition — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/04/45029510/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet-62">check out five stocks flying under the radar that deserve your attention.</a>
Why It's Important: Blue Origin reservations are open to anyone 18 years or older by filling out some information, including a description of yourself in less than 500 characters.
The one missing detail in the reservation is the total price involved for an unforgettable "Window seat" to space. The reservation form says a $150,000 fully, refundable deposit is collected by Blue Origin after booking a reservation.
This means the space flight with Blue Origin is more than $150,000. Virgin Galactic, which is currently in a pause of taking humans to space, has charged between $200,000 to $450,000 per person for past space flights.
Virgin Galactic is expected to begin taking people to space again in 2026 as long as it passes required tests and its plan stays on track. Previous<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/07/21945008/spacex-ceo-elon-musk-books-a-flight-with-richard-bransons-virgin-galactic"> reservation holders for flights </a>with Virgin Galactic included Leonardo DiCaprio, Justin Bieber and Elon Musk. 
Virgin Galactic stock is down 51% year-to-date in 2025 and has fallen over 80% in the last year. Blue Origin remains privately held with Bezos as the owner.
While some people and the Wendy's social media account <a href="https://www.today.com/food/trends/wendys-disses-katy-perry-blue-origin-space-flight-rcna201385">criticized </a>the short flight taken by Perry and the other women, many people would probably welcome the chance to experience space, even if for a short while, if it were more affordable.
Of course, those who read Shatner's book that<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/22/10/29207326/my-trip-to-space-was-supposed-to-be-a-celebration-instead-it-felt-like-a-funeral-william-sh"> included his details</a> on his trip to space might want to skip the trip.
"When I looked in the opposite direction, into space, there was no mystery, no majestic awe to behold, all I saw was death," Shatner said in his book.
Shatner recalled what he saw as a "cold, dark, black emptiness" unlike any blackness you can see on Earth.
Shatner called the trip and views of space "the strongest feelings of grief I have ever encountered."
"My trip to space was supposed to be a celebration; instead, it felt like a funeral."
