Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) co-founder Larry Page rejected Apple Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) signature &#8220;focus on one thing&#8221; philosophy during a pivotal meeting with Steve Jobs, according to Palo Alto Networks Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PANW#NASDAQ">PANW</a>) CEO Nikesh Arora.
What Happened: Speaking on Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath&#8216;s podcast, Arora recalled how Page recounted his conversation with Jobs when Google was still a small company competing against the established Apple. Jobs advised Page to follow Apple&#8217;s model of doing &#8220;one thing really well&#8221; to achieve global dominance.
&#8220;Steve said to Larry, &#8216;Larry, look at the model. The model is, we do one thing, we do it really well. If you do one thing really well and win around the world, you&#8217;re gonna win,'&#8221; Arora said, citing Page&#8217;s recollection of the meeting.
However, Page disagreed with Jobs&#8217; strategy. At the time as Google was simultaneously developing Gmail, Chrome, Google Search, Maps, and other products. Page believed success came from having great people who could build multiple great products simultaneously, not from limiting focus to a single offering.
&#8220;Larry had a different point of view. He said, &#8216;Look, I don&#8217;t believe that. I believe it&#8217;s a question of capacity. If you have great people, you can motivate them. They can go build great stuff. As long as you focus on building a great product, it doesn&#8217;t matter if you do one or many,'&#8221; Arora explained.

Why It Matters: Page&#8217;s &#8220;product-obsessed&#8221; approach became evident when he assumed Google&#8217;s CEO role. He structured his leadership team with seven product-focused direct reports compared to just three business-focused executives. 
When Arora prepared a comprehensive business presentation for their first one-on-one meeting, Page dismissed it, stating he needed to focus on building great products.
&#8220;Tech companies which lose sight of great products eventually fail,&#8221; Arora said. According to him, once-prominent firms like Sun Microsystems and Yahoo were industry leaders in their prime but ultimately stumbled after drifting away from a strong product vision.
This philosophical divide between Apple&#8217;s focused approach and Google&#8217;s diversified strategy proved successful for both companies. Apple&#8217;s concentrated efforts on flagship products like the iPhone generated massive market share in specific categories, while Google&#8217;s multi-product ecosystem created the foundation for Alphabet&#8217;s current $2.17 trillion market capitalization.
Page&#8217;s &#8220;additionality&#8221; principle, which he discussed at TED2014, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45613522/google-co-founder-larry-page-uses-this-economic-principle-to-guide-innovationand-its-all-about-building-what-wouldnt-exist-without-you">emphasized creating products</a> &#8220;that wouldn&#8217;t happen unless you&#8217;re actually doing it.&#8221;

Aritinercept was well tolerated at all dose levels tested. There were no treatment-related Grade ≥3 adverse events, there were no treatment‑related serious adverse events (SAEs) and there were no discontinuations due to treatment-related adverse events. Adverse events that occurred in more than one subject included injection site reactions (24% aritinercept, 13% placebo), headache (11% aritinercept, 7% placebo), upper respiratory tract infection (7% aritinercept, 0% placebo) and back pain (4% aritinercept, 0% placebo). All injection site reactions were Grade 1.
Single doses of aritinercept led to robust and long-lasting reductions in immunoglobulins (antibodies). Specifically, mean reductions from baseline to Day 28 of up to 48%, 55% and 20% were observed for immunoglobulin A (IgA), immunoglobulin M (IgM) and immunoglobulin G (IgG), respectively.

Ed Yardeni of Yardeni Research highlighted that tariff delays and AI spending have propelled the S&amp;P 500 index to new highs.
&#8220;Trump started to moderate his stance on tariffs on April 9, and AI companies reiterated their commitment to spend tens of billions of dollars on AI capital investments during April&#8217;s Q1 earnings season. Also boosting the S&amp;P 500 is the record high in S&amp;P 500 forward earnings,&#8221; he stated.

US Stocks Likely To Open Higher, Continuing Record-Setting Advances: June Has Never Seen An All-Time High Since 1950, Highlights Expert

Russian spy chief&nbsp;Sergei Naryshkin&nbsp;and the Director&nbsp;of the Central Intelligence Agency&nbsp;(CIA),&nbsp;John Ratcliffe, have reportedly agreed to have direct communication at any time.
What Happened:&nbsp;Naryshkin, the head of Russia&#8217;s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), disclosed this on Sunday, as reported by&nbsp;Reuters. The SVR is the successor to the KGB&#8217;s First Chief Directorate.
Despite being historical rivals, the CIA and the SVR have agreed to maintain an open line of communication. Naryshkin revealed this during an interview with a Kremlin state television reporter,&nbsp;Pavel Zarubin.
&#8220;I&nbsp;had a phone call with&nbsp;my American counterpart and we&nbsp;reserved for each other the&nbsp;possibility&nbsp;to call each other at&nbsp;any time and discuss issues&nbsp;of interest to us,&#8221; Naryshkin said.
This is not the first time the two intelligence chiefs have communicated. Their last known conversation&nbsp;took place in March 2025,&nbsp;according to Russian media.
The SVR has been responsible for some of the most significant breaches in U.S. history, including the betrayal of thousands of U.S. secrets by&nbsp;moles Robert Hanssen and Aldrich&nbsp;Ames.

Why It Matters: The agreement between the heads of the CIA and the SVR comes at a time of heightened tension between the U.S. and Russia. 
The U.S. has been actively involved in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, with President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;receiving&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46014413/putin-lauds-trumps-significant-support-on-ukraine-talks-as-russia-warns-us-to-stay-out-of-iran">acknowledgment </a>from Russian President Vladimir Putin&nbsp;for his efforts to help resolve the crisis.
On the other hand, Trump has criticized <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45604616/trump-blasts-putin-as-absolutely-crazy-after-deadly-russian-airstrikes-on-ukraine-signals-possible-shift-toward-tougher-sanctions">Putin&#8217;s actions </a>in the conflict in the past, signaling a possible shift towards tougher sanctions on Russia. Amid these geopolitical tensions, the decision of the intelligence chiefs to maintain an open line of communication is noteworthy.
In May 2025, Russian President Vladimir Putin called for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/05/45610845/russias-president-targets-microsoft-and-zoom-calls-for-crackdown-on-foreign-tech">restrictions </a>on foreign tech services, including Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and Zoom Communications Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZM#NASDAQ">ZM</a>), accusing them of undermining Russia's sovereignty.

Russian Spy Chief And CIA Director Ratcliffe Agree To 'Call Any Time' Amid Tensions: Report

On Sunday, Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/01/42759975/squid-game-season-3-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-thrilling-finale-coming-in-2025">celebrated the finale</a> of "Squid Game" with a parade and star-studded fan event in Seoul, South Korea.
What Happened: A massive Squid Game parade took to the streets of Seoul, featuring towering character installations and figurines from the show, <a href="https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10520053">reported</a> The Korean Herald.
The procession began around 7:50 p.m. and traveled from Gwanghwamun to Seoul Plaza.
Fans lined the streets to see the show's iconic characters, including the giant Young-hee doll, a massive piggy bank representing the prize money and O and X signs symbolizing the show's infamous voting system.

Why It's Important: The third and final season of ‘Squid Game' returned to Netflix on June 27.
The first season of Squid Game premiered on Sept. 17, 2021. Within its first month, the show drew in hundreds of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/08/40112559/squid-game-season-2-ignites-august-buzz-with-netflixs-christmas-lineup-including-nfl-games">millions of households globally</a>, with Netflix revealing that viewers streamed a staggering 1.65 billion hours of the series during those initial four weeks.
Set in South Korea, the story follows 456 financially desperate contestants who enter a covert competition to win a massive cash prize of 45.6 billion Korean won — roughly $38.5 million.
The participants soon discover that the seemingly innocent children's games they must play are deadly and failure means death — only one person can survive.
To this day, Squid Game remains Netflix's top-performing show, racking up over 2.2 billion viewing hours and attracting more than 265 million viewers.
The second season debuted on Dec. 26, 2024, attracting 68 million viewers in its first week, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42751367/netflix-posts-record-debut-with-squid-game-season-2-heres-how-many-people-watched-show">setting a new record</a> for a Netflix series launch.
Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings show that Netflix's stock continues to trend upward in 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 find more detailed performance data here</a>.

Netflix's Squid Game Finale Takes Over Seoul With Massive Parade, Star-Studded Fan Event

The 14th Dalai Lama will address a major three-day gathering of Buddhist religious figures this week ahead of his 90th birthday, as followers await details about his succession in a move that could escalate U.S.-China tensions and impact global market sentiment.
What Happened: Beijing views the Dalai Lama, who fled Tibet in 1959 after a failed uprising against Chinese rule, as a separatist and claims authority to choose his successor. The Dalai Lama, according to Reuters, has stated his successor will be born outside China and urged followers to reject anyone chosen by Beijing.
The religious conference, being held for the first time since 2019, will feature more than 100 Tibetan Buddhist leaders and a video statement from the Dalai Lama. Hollywood actor Richard Gere will attend the gathering in Dharamshala, India, according to organizers.

&#8220;China is trying to grab this institution for its political purpose,&#8221; said Dolma Tsering Teykhang, deputy speaker of the Tibetan parliament-in-exile, highlighting the geopolitical stakes that could affect Sino-American relations and global trade dynamics.
The Dalai Lama established the Gaden Phodrang Foundation in 2015 to oversee succession protocols, ending a 368-year tradition of combined spiritual and temporal leadership by transferring political authority to democratically elected officials in 2011.

Leading macro strategist, Craig Shapiro, is warning that President Donald Trump&#8217;s proposal to lean more in favor of short-term Treasury bills could have major ramifications for the U.S. Dollar.
What Happened: On Sunday, in a post on X, Shapiro warned against Trump&#8217;s intention to avoid issuing 10-year treasury notes that currently trade at high interest rates, opting instead for shorter-term Treasury bills with substantially lower interest rates.
The post is referring to Trump&#8217;s interview with Fox News&#8217; &#8220;Sunday Morning Futures,&#8221; where he said, &#8220;I don't want to have to pay for 10-year debt at a higher rate,&#8221; when talking about the $9 trillion in US debt that is set to mature this year.
Shapiro highlighted the implications of such a shift, warning that leaning towards short-term debt issuance could destabilize the long-term U.S. fiscal outlook.

&#8220;If this bills-over-bonds issuance dynamic really happens, you can kiss the $ goodbye,&#8221; he says, bringing attention to the kind of impact this is set to have on the U.S. Dollar.
Shapiro then asks his followers if they&#8217;ve got gold and Bitcoin in store for such an eventuality, highlighting the broader flight-to-safety sentiments among investors, alongside the hedging potential of these assets at the time of currency debasement.

Why It Matters: Early this year, before the Trump administration came to power, Charles Gasparino, a New York Post columnist, had criticized former Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen for the same approach.
Gasparino warned that Yellen&#8217;s preference for rolling over short-term bonds instead of issuing long-term debt had &#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 setting up a potential crisis for the incoming administration.

&#8220;You can&#8217;t do that forever,&#8221; he said, noting that &#8220;traders will demand much higher rates to issue long-term debt, which will blow out interest rates on credit cards, mortgages, etc,&#8221; which he says could result in a recession, or worse, in a post on X. 
Price Action: U.S. 10-Year Treasuries trade at 4.253%, the 30-Year at 4.81%, while the 2-Year note offers a yield of 3.27%, at the time of writing this.

Trump's 'Bills Over Bonds' Strategy Can Spell Doom For The Dollar, Warns Craig Shapiro: 'Got Gold, Bitcoin?'

Florida Sen.&nbsp;Rick Scott&nbsp;(R) and several Republican colleagues have proposed an amendment to President Donald Trump&#8216;s healthcare bill that could significantly cut Medicaid spending.
What Happened: The amendment, if passed, would restrict&nbsp;the expansion of Medicaid under&nbsp;the&nbsp;Affordable Care Act, also known&nbsp;as ObamaCare,&nbsp;<a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5376222-scott-pushes-medicaid-reduction/">reported</a>&nbsp;The Hill on&nbsp;Sunday. This could lead to an additional $313 billion cut in Medicaid spending by blocking able-bodied adults without dependent children in Medicaid expansion states from receiving the enhanced 9-to-1 Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP).
A preliminary analysis by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated that the Senate bill would cut Medicaid spending by $930 billion, even without Scott's proposed amendment. If the amendment is adopted, it could slash future Medicaid spending by an additional $1.24 trillion. Scott's office claims the amendment alone would save $313 billion over the next decade.
Scott, along with&nbsp;Sen. Mike Lee&nbsp;(R-Utah) and&nbsp;Sen. Ron Johnson&nbsp;(R-Wis.), have been actively persuading&nbsp;Republican colleagues to vote for&nbsp;the amendment. Senate Majority Leader&nbsp;John Thune&nbsp;(R-S.D.) has pledged his support for the amendment.

Why It Matters: The proposed Medicaid cut is part of a broader Republican effort to reform healthcare spending. The move comes amid growing concerns about the sustainability of Medicaid and other social welfare programs, particularly in light of the recent&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/46014120/social-security-and-medicare-funds-could-run-dry-earlier-than-expected-new-report-shows">warnings</a>&nbsp;that the Social Security and Medicare funds could run dry earlier than expected.
Earlier this year, House Speaker&nbsp;Mike Johnson&nbsp;(R-La.)&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45716936/speaker-mike-johnson-says-4-8-million-wont-lose-medicaid-unless-they-choose-to-do-so-calls-gop-cuts-an-important-and-frankly-heroic-thing">defended</a>&nbsp;the GOP&#8217;s proposed Medicaid cuts, arguing that those who lose Medicaid will do so by personal choice. However, the proposed cuts have also sparked&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44098458/if-a-bill-is-put-in-front-of-me-that-guts-benefits-i-will-not-vote-for-it-gop-faces-internal-divide-over-medicaid-cuts">internal divisions</a>&nbsp;within the Republican party, with some members warning that drastic reductions could harm millions of Americans who rely on the program.

SpaceX and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk&#8216;s vision for Mars as a political project was reportedly thwarted in 2024 due to concerns about AI and political interference, according to a conversation revealed by Peter Thiel.
What Happened:&nbsp;Peter Thiel, the co-founder of PayPal (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PYPL#NASDAQ">PYPL</a>), disclosed a conversation he had with Elon Musk in 2024 in an <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/26/opinion/peter-thiel-antichrist-ross-douthat.html">interview </a>with The New York Times on Thursday.
Elon Musk reportedly told Thiel &#8220;There's nowhere to go&#8221; after the PayPal co-founder said he wanted to leave the U.S. if Donald Trump doesn&#8217;t become the President. 
&#8220;It was about two hours&nbsp;after we had dinner and&nbsp;I was home that I&nbsp;thought of: &#8220;Wow, Elon, you&nbsp;don&#8217;t&nbsp;believe in going to Mars&nbsp;anymore,&#8221; Thiel said. 
Thiel claimed that Demis Hassabis&nbsp;CEO of Google&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) DeepMind,&nbsp; warned Musk that his AI could follow humans to Mars. This revelation reportedly led to Musk&#8217;s silence and a shift in his perspective on the Mars project.
According to Thiel, it took Musk until 2024 to fully process the implications of this conversation. He began to view Mars not just as a scientific endeavor, but as a political project that could be influenced by external factors like AI and government policies.
&#8220;2024 is the year where&nbsp;Elon stopped believing in Mars&nbsp;— not as a silly&nbsp;science tech project, but as&nbsp;a political project,&#8221; stated Thiel.
&#8220;And in 2024 Elon came to believe that if you went to Mars, the socialist U.S. government, the woke A.I. would follow you to Mars.&#8221;
SpaceX did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment. 
SEE ALSO:&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46160509/irans-top-diplomat-to-un-says-uranium-enrichment-to-continue-an-inalienable-right" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Iran&#8217;s Top Diplomat To UN Says Uranium Enrichment To Continue: An &#8216;Inalienable Right&#8217;</a>
Why It Matters: Despite Theil&#8217;s claims, reports in May indicated that Musk&#8217;s SpaceX was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45606144/after-fiery-setbacks-elon-musks-spacex-doubles-down-on-starship-for-bold-2026-mars-push-report">intensifying efforts</a>&nbsp;to prepare its experimental Starship rocket for a potential Mars mission in 2026.
Moreover, Musk has long been an advocate for Mars colonization, citing it as humanity&#8217;s &#8220;life insurance&#8221; policy. In a separate interview in May 2025, Musk warned that Earth&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/05/45480331/elon-musk-says-earth-only-has-10-of-its-life-left-before-its-incinerated-by-the-sun-calls-colonizing-mars-humanitys-life-insurance-polic">only has 10% of its life left</a>&nbsp;before it&#8217;s &#8220;incinerated&#8221; by the sun, making Mars colonization essential for humanity&#8217;s survival.
Despite his concerns about AI, Musk has also invested in several AI startups, including DeepMind, following a warning from Hassabis about the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/05/45710311/elon-musk-called-ai-an-existential-risk-for-human-civilization-yet-he-invested-early-in-deepmind-after-this-warning-from-co-founder-demis-hassabis">dangers </a>of advanced AI to human civilization. This apparent contradiction in Musk&#8217;s actions and beliefs raises questions about the future of his Mars ambitions.
