As Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk continues to slam Donald Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill," the All-In Podcast panelists, including David Friedberg and Chamath Palihapitiya, caution that escalating tensions between MAGA and Silicon Valley could destabilize both political and technological progress.
What Happened: On the July 4 episode of the All-In Podcast, the panel dissected the growing rift between Musk and Trump, sparked by the Tesla CEO&#8217;s criticism of the tax and spending package that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45536595/big-beautiful-bill-will-explode-the-deficit-and-make-the-rich-richer-congressional-budget-office-estimates-4-income-fall-for-lowest-decile-of-americans-by-2033">adds $3.8 trillion to the deficit</a>.
Friedberg, who was one of the early Alphabet Inc. (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>) executives, defended Musk's frustration, saying, "We are in a debt-death spiral and they [critics of the bill] are absolutely correct. So I don&#8217;t think that Elon is off the reservation when he makes those comments."

He spoke about the importance of government efficiency reforms Musk once pushed through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), noting, "Elon's right with respect to the spending."
Friedberg warned, however, that mutual dependence between MAGA and tech is crucial. "I don't think MAGA can exist successfully without tech alignment. I don't think tech can exist without MAGA."
"I don&#8217;t think that these two can exist in isolation and in conflict with one another," he stated.
Chamath Palihapitiya downplayed the feud, suggesting the alliance would hold. "I think the reality is that when push comes to shove, I think that they agree on more things and they probably disagree."

Why It's Important: On Saturday, Musk announced on X, "Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom." The tech mogul also criticized the big beautiful bill's fiscal consequences, arguing that the U.S. had become "a one-party system, not a democracy."
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46266957/trump-calls-america-party-a-train-wreck-blasts-elon-musk-for-going-completely-off-the-rails-president-says-system-not-designed-for-a-third-player">Trump fired back on</a> Truth Social, ridiculing the idea of a Musk-led third party, calling it a "train wreck." The President said that the system isn't built for third parties and they only bring "Disruption &amp; Chaos."
Musk was one of Trump's largest donors for the 2024 campaign and had headed DOGE before <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/05/45708460/elon-musks-175-billion-in-doge-cut-falls-far-short-of-the-billionaires-goal-expect-to-achieve-over-time-the-trillion-dollars-of-savings-says-tesla-ceo">stepping down in May</a>.

As Elon Musk's Rift With Donald Trump Deepens, Former Google Executive Says MAGA And Tech World Can't Thrive Without Each Other

The Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>) ecosystem announced Sunday a partnership with token launchpad DegenSafe, aiming to bring a safer alternative to memecoin deployment and protect traders&#8217; interests.
What Happened:&nbsp;Shiba Inu&#8217;s official X handle quoted DegenSafe&#8217;s post on its new product, saying, &#8220;From meme coins to mechanics, we&#8217;re reshaping what Web3 can be. DegenSafe is only the beginning.&#8221;
DegenSafe is marketing itself as a <a href="https://degensafe.fun/#contact">reliable</a> token launching platform, offering to put in place adequate protections to ensure that retail traders who chase new launches don&#8217;t get scammed. This includes having a trust score for every project, a rug protection fund and a design that blocks snipers and bots.

Professional gamblers and tax advisers are warning that a little-noticed line in Senate Republicans' 900-page "One Big Beautiful Bill" could make bettors pay income tax even when they break even.
What Happened: According to a Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-02/one-big-beautiful-bill-gamblers-raise-alarm-over-1-1-billion-tax-hike?sref=MTy2GeXk">report</a>, the measure caps gambling-loss write-offs at 90%, a change congressional scorekeepers say will raise $1.1 billion over the next decade.
Page 38 of the bill's Joint Committee on Taxation draft <a href="https://www.congress.gov/119/meeting/house/118260/documents/HMKP-119-WM00-20250513-SD002.pdf">amends</a> Internal Revenue Code Section 165(d) so "losses from wagering transactions shall be deductible only to the extent of 90% of such losses," leaving the final 10% fully taxable.
Until now, gamblers could offset winnings dollar-for-dollar with documented losses. A Senate GOP aide said the limit "aligns wagering with other itemized deductions," but critics call it a stealth tax hike.
"I've spoken to many clients and they're very concerned," Las Vegas CPA Zachary Zimbile said to Bloomberg. "Add a 10% penalty and it eats a lot of their profit."
Rep. Dina Titus (D-NV.), co-chair of the Congressional Gaming Caucus, vowed to draft a fix, saying the language punishes people who are trying to do the right thing by reporting gambling on their taxes.

Why It Matters: Gamblers flooded X and betting forums urging lawmakers to scrap the cap. In a video posted to X, professional poker player Phil Galford explained that a gambler who won $5.2 million in a year and lost $5 million, for a net income of $200,000, would pay taxes on actual winnings plus 10% of the losses.

"You would make $200,000 during the year," he said. However, "you would pay tax as if you made $700,000, meaning in almost everybody's case you would pay more tax than you made during the year. Completely untenable. You can't be a professional gambler in the U.S. if this goes through."
Online heavyweights such as FanDuel (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLUT#NYSE">FLUT</a>), DraftKings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKNG#NASDAQ">DKNG</a>) and Kalshi have driven a surge in legal gambling just as lawmakers advance a tougher tax regime on bettors. Americans wagered a record $72 billion in 2024, 7.5% more than in 2023, across sports books, casino floors and digital platforms.

As Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) reels from sweeping layoffs affecting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46226585/microsoft-cuts-9000-jobs-in-second-2025-layoff">9,100 employees</a>, an Xbox executive's suggestion to use AI chatbots for emotional support has ignited fierce backlash online.
What Happened: Last week, Matt Turnbull, a leader at Xbox Game Studios, posted on LinkedIn that laid-off workers could turn to tools like ChatGPT and Copilot to cope with job loss and navigate their next steps.
"At a time when mental energy is scarce, these tools can help get you unstuck faster, calmer and with more clarity," Turnbull wrote.
He also shared prompt suggestions, such as asking AI to act as a career coach, improve resumes, or help reframe imposter syndrome.
His post drew immediate criticism and was later deleted. The backlash was swift across social media platforms, with people calling the advice tone-deaf, particularly in light of Microsoft's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42801720/microsoft-to-invest-80-billion-in-ai-data-centers-for-fiscal-2025">ongoing $80 billion investment</a> in AI infrastructure.

Jio BlackRock Asset Management raised more than $2.1 billion across three cash and debt mutual fund schemes in its maiden offering, marking a significant milestone for the joint venture between Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani&#8216;s Jio Financial Services and BlackRock Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>).
What Happened: The three-day debut attracted investments from over 90 institutional investors and more than 67,000 retail investors, according to Reuters. The joint venture received its mutual fund license in May, enabling the launch of these initial schemes.
Jio BlackRock <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41366648/blackrock-in-talks-to-deepen-ties-with-mukesh-ambani-for-private-credit-venture">represents a 50-50 partnership</a> between Jio Financial Services, a subsidiary of Reliance Industries Ltd., and U.S.-based BlackRock. The venture aims to capitalize on India&#8217;s underutilized financial investment market, where mutual fund assets represent only 16% of GDP compared to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/07/33409437/billionaire-mukesh-ambanis-asset-management-venture-dangles-300m-proposal-to-lure-blackrock-back-to">the global average of 63%</a>.
BlackRock&#8217;s return to India&#8217;s asset management sector comes after the firm previously exited a joint venture with DSP Group in 2018. The new partnership leverages BlackRock&#8217;s investment management expertise with Jio Financial&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/07/33409437/billionaire-mukesh-ambanis-asset-management-venture-dangles-300m-proposal-to-lure-blackrock-back-to">technological capabilities and local market knowledge</a>.

Why It Matters: Jio Financial Services, which separated from Reliance Industries in 2023, has been expanding its financial services footprint. In October, the company received Reserve Bank of India <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41592891/jio-receives-rbi-nod-to-function-as-online-payment-aggregator">authorization to operate</a> as an online payment aggregator through its subsidiary Jio Payment Solutions.
The companies initially announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/07/33409437/billionaire-mukesh-ambanis-asset-management-venture-dangles-300m-proposal-to-lure-blackrock-back-to">plans to invest $150 million each</a> in the asset management venture. BlackRock Chairman and CEO Larry Fink has identified the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/07/33409437/billionaire-mukesh-ambanis-asset-management-venture-dangles-300m-proposal-to-lure-blackrock-back-to">partnership as crucial for expanding the firm&#8217;s global presence </a>in high-growth markets.

Indian Billionaire Mukesh Ambani's 50-50 Joint Venture With Larry Fink's BlackRock Raises $2.1 Billion In Debut Fund Offering

Macro strategist Craig Shapiro delivered a scathing critique of Fed Chair Jerome Powell&#8217;s performance over the years, pushing back against the growing narrative that casts his tenure in a positive light.
What Happened: On Sunday, in a post on X, Shapiro argued that the Federal Reserve under Powell had strayed from its core mission of serving the public.
He says, &#8220;It [the Fed] has stopped fighting inflation, deepened inequality, and quietly handed monetary control back to the U.S. Treasury, all without saying a word.&#8221;
Shapiro accused Powell of adopting an unofficial third mandate focused on protecting capital markets, stabilizing Treasury auctions, and avoiding disruption to asset valuations. &#8220;Inflation targeting and full employment now come second, or not at all,&#8221; he said.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/06/46186509/scott-bessent-on-replacing-powell-as-fed-chair-i-will-do-what-the-president-wants-plays-down-shadow-chair-speculations">Scott Bessent On Replacing Powell As Fed Chair: &#8216;I Will Do What The President Wants&#8217; — Plays Down Shadow Chair Speculations</a>
He also questioned the credibility of the Fed's quantitative tightening efforts, calling them largely symbolic. &#8220;QT was never real,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;The balance sheet remained enormous. Liquidity stayed plentiful. Financial conditions eased even as rate hikes continued.&#8221;
The thread highlighted the persistent gap between official inflation targets and outcomes. Since 2021, core PCE inflation has averaged 4.1%, twice the Fed's 2% goal. The thread also quotes Powell&#8217;s messaging in this regard, where he admitted, &#8220;We now understand better how little we understand about inflation.&#8221;
However, Shapiro believes this wasn&#8217;t just a policy misjudgment, but a failure of resolve. &#8220;The real problem wasn't [a] misunderstanding, it was cowardice,&#8221; he says.
On wealth inequality, Shapiro pointed to what he refers to as a &#8220;regressive monetary tax,&#8221; saying that &#8220;the top 1% added $13 trillion in net worth since 2020… This isn't a side effect. It's the blueprint.&#8221;
Shapiro also pushed back against Powell&#8217;s passive posturing against the Treasury&#8217;s increasing reliance on short-term debt, which reflects a return to "fiscal dominance" and a quiet reversal of the 1951 Fed-Treasury Accord, which restored the Fed&#8217;s independence.
&#8220;While inflation persisted, the Treasury began funding itself with short-term bills. Instead of counterbalancing that risk, Powell deferred. The Fed let [the] Treasury dictate monetary conditions. This is the return of fiscal dominance,&#8221; he says.

Why It Matters: Early this year, Charles Gasparino had criticized former Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen for rolling over short-term debt instead of issuing longer-duration bonds. A move he says &#8220;masked the severity&#8221; of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/42808340/janet-yellens-short-term-debt-strategy-sparks-warnings-for-trump-administration-your-costs-explode-and-buyers-could-balk-says-expert">federal deficit problem</a> while potentially setting up a crisis for the incoming administration.
Last week, Shapiro echoed similar views, with President Donald Trump suggesting the same <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46163670/trumps-bills-over-bonds-strategy-can-spell-doom-for-the-dollar-warns-craig-shapiro-got-gold-bitcoin">&#8216;bills over bonds&#8217; strategy</a> in a bid to avoid the high interest rates in longer-duration Treasury notes.
Even a few months ago, Shapiro had called out the Federal Reserve for &#8220;gaslighting the public&#8221; into thinking that inflation expectations were <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44533707/federal-reserve-is-gaslighting-the-public-warns-expert-as-richmond-fed-president-says-inflation-expectations-have-loosened-not-de-anchored">still well anchored</a>, referring to the Fed&#8217;s efforts at intentionally downplaying the seriousness of inflation, to convince the public that things are under control. 
As tensions continue to escalate between Trump and Powell, economist Kenneth Rogoff warned recently that the Fed&#8217;s independence is a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44974790/feds-independence-could-disappear-in-a-week-says-economist-ken-rogoff-as-trump-thinks-hes-smarter-than-the-central-bankers-amid-ongoing-feud-with-jerome-powell">relatively new construct</a>, and that &#8220;it could disappear in a week.&#8221;
Rogoff said, &#8220;I think there'll be pressures… they'll pack the central bank with people who we call doves. It hasn't happened, but you know, it could. Obviously, we have Trump here, and he has said he thinks he's smarter than the central bankers.&#8221;
Price Action: The 10-Year U.S. Treasury note currently trades at 4.332%, whereas the 5-Year and 2-Year notes trade at 3.915% and 3.861%, respectively.

Craig Shapiro Slams Jerome Powell's Legacy Of 'Quiet Surrender' To Wall Street And The US Treasury: 'No Longer Serves The Public'

Lockheed Martin Corp. is a defense company that uses its capital to generate profits most efficiently as compared to its peers; however, the year-over-year growth of this specific metric has been tepid.
What Happened: A company&#8217;s capital efficiency, or how profitable a company is with the capital it has put to use, is measured by ROCE or Return on Capital Employed.
When a company demonstrates consistently growing ROCE, it signals its ability to be a compounding machine, skillfully reinvesting profits back into the business for increasingly higher returns.
In the case of defense stocks, Lockheed Martin has the highest ROCE among its peers, representing the management&#8217;s effectiveness in deploying capital for productive use.
As of the quarter ending March, LMT had an ROCE of 25.71%, higher than 22.97% from the same quarter of the previous year, highlights GuruFocus data.
As the year-over-year expansion was minimal, it might not be a super high-growth stock; however, Lockheed Martin&#8217;s solid 25.71% return on capital shows it&#8217;s running a really efficient business.
That strong performance probably explains why Lockheed Martin is a high-yielding stock and has a history of consistent dividend increases, with the current dividend yield at 2.85%, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LMT/dividends">Benzinga</a>. 
Here is a list of a few other defense stocks with their current ROCE.

S&P 500 Hits Record High Following Upbeat Jobs Report: Fear & Greed Index In 'Extreme Greed' Zone

TikTok is building a new version of its app for U.S. users ahead of a planned sale to American investors, according to a report on Sunday.
What Happened: The Chinese-owned short-video app plans to launch the new U.S. version to app stores on September 5, The Information reported, citing sources, according to Reuters. Existing users will eventually need to download the new app to continue service, though the current version will function until March 2026.
The development comes as President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/social-media/25/07/46265991/donald-trump-announces-upcoming-talks-with-china-on-tiktok-we-pretty-much-have-a-deal">announced Friday that the U.S. will begin negotiations with China</a> as early as Monday or Tuesday over the ByteDance-owned platform. &#8220;We pretty much have a deal,&#8221; Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One.
Trump extended ByteDance&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/social-media/25/07/46265991/donald-trump-announces-upcoming-talks-with-china-on-tiktok-we-pretty-much-have-a-deal">divestment deadline to September 17</a>, marking the third extension since his January inauguration. 
TikTok did not immediately respond to&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

Why It Matters: The original congressional mandate required TikTok to cease U.S. operations unless ByteDance completed asset divestiture or demonstrated significant sale progress.
The deal structure involves spinning off TikTok&#8217;s U.S. operations into a new American-controlled entity. Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>), Blackstone Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BX#NYSE">BX</a>), and venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46263734/trump-says-we-pretty-much-have-a-deal-as-he-reveals-us-will-resume-tiktok-deal-talks-with-china-soon">shown acquisition interest</a>.
However, the transaction stalled after China indicated it would block forced divestment following Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45988862/trump-extends-tiktok-divestment-deadline-again-says-xi-will-ultimately-approve-the-deal-amid-stalled-us-spinoff-talks">announcement of 145% tariffs on Chinese goods</a>. The president acknowledged China&#8217;s approval requirement, stating, &#8220;President Xi and I have a great relationship, and I think it&#8217;s good for them.&#8221;
TikTok serves 170 million American users and has become a focal point in national security and data privacy discussions.
