A man with apparent animosity towards Elon Musk was captured on camera vandalizing&nbsp;a Cybertruck in New York&nbsp;City. The perpetrator, identified as Michael Lewis, was later apprehended by the police.
What Happened: Lewis was spotted defacing a Cybertruck with a swastika. The vehicle was parked on Washington Avenue in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. Avi Ben Hamo, the vehicle&#8217;s owner, witnessed the act from the other side of the street.
Following the act of vandalism, Lewis tried to escape but was intercepted by Ben Hamo, who had dialed 911. Lewis deserted his car and fled on foot, only to return an hour and a half later to collect his vehicle. Upon his return, he was arrested by the police, <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/03/15/us-news/deranged-anti-elon-musk-dad-scrawls-swastika-on-nyc-cybertruck-in-broad-daylight/">reports</a> The New York Post.
Lewis was initially charged with aggravated harassment. However, his attorney, Mark Luccarelli, contended that no crime was committed as the vehicle was not damaged.
"I feel myself burning inside," Ben Hamo said.

The Brooklyn district attorney subsequently released Lewis without pressing charges. This event is not an isolated incident but part of a series of recent&nbsp;attacks on Tesla vehicles and&nbsp;infrastructure. 
These attacks are believed to be the work of left-wing groups protesting against spending cuts implemented by Musk&#8217;s Department of Government Efficiency. The New York Post has identified at least five groups responsible for these attacks.
The vandalized Cybertruck is the third vehicle to be targeted&nbsp;in New York City in&nbsp;recent days. Other incidents include a Cybertruck being&nbsp;egged and smeared with dog&nbsp;feces, and street signs in Williamsburg encouraging similar acts of vandalism.

Anti-Musk Protester Vandalizes Tesla Cybertruck With Swastika, Shocking Jewish Owner

Business magnate Mark Cuban has imparted some crucial advice to the Gen Z workforce. He underscored the significance of gaining knowledge in artificial intelligence (AI).
What Happened: While addressing the audience at SXSW last week, Cuban shared insights from his past failures and how they molded him into a successful entrepreneur. 
He <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkJfCMycJRk">stated </a>that if he were to start his journey today, his primary focus would be AI. Cuban emphasized that grasping AI and educating others about it could unlock numerous business prospects.
"If I was 16, 18, 20, 21 starting today, I would spend every waking minute learning about AI," Cuban said at SXSW. "Even if I am sleeping, I am listening to podcasts talking about AI," Cuban said. 
Cuban&#8217;s proposed strategy for Gen Z is to familiarize themselves with NotebookLM, an AI tool, and introduce it to small businesses, offering demonstrations at a rate of $25 per hour. He is of the opinion that those who dedicate time to learning AI will outshine in their respective fields.
A staunch supporter of AI, Cuban cautioned that those who do not adopt AI will be left behind. He clarified that AI is a tool, not the solution, and it can be utilized to augment existing skills.

Cuban said, &#8220;It's up to you to stay ahead of the game and figure out how the technology can transform a business need: "When you run with the elephants, there's the quick and the dead. You've got to be better."
"AI is never the answer. AI is a tool. Whatever skills you have, you can use AI to amplify them," he added.
Furthermore, Cuban highlighted the significance of having the right attitude in entrepreneurship. He values curiosity and the zeal to innovate. He urged entrepreneurs to perceive their product or service as a public service and emphasized that failure is a stepping stone to success.
&#8220;While failing many times is sometimes inevitable in entrepreneurship, getting back up is the pathway to success. It doesn't matter how many times you fail," Cuban said. "You only have to be right one time," Cuban said. 
Why It Matters: AI has been making waves in the business world, and Cuban&#8217;s advice comes at a time when the technology is increasingly being adopted across various industries. His emphasis on AI is a testament to its growing importance in the future of work. 
With AI tools like NotebookLM, Gen Z can equip themselves with the skills needed to thrive in the evolving business landscape. Cuban&#8217;s advice could potentially guide Gen Z in carving out successful careers and staying ahead of the curve.

Elon Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman have decided to speed up their ongoing legal battle concerning OpenAI&#8217;s shift to a for-profit model. The trial is set <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37766544/elon-musk-is-feuding-with-sam-altman-in-a-major-lawsuit-over-openai-and-one-appears-to-already-have">to take place in December.</a>
What Happened: The two parties have reached a consensus to expedite the trial amidst their legal wrangling. In a court document filed on Friday, Elon Musk and OpenAI proposed to fast-track the trial for their dispute and postpone the decision on whether a jury will be involved in the case.
Musk, who co-founded OpenAI, has been at odds with the company since his departure from its board in 2018. 
He formally instigated the dispute last year by suing OpenAI in a California state court, claiming that the company had &#8220;betrayed&#8221; its mission by introducing a for-profit arm in 2019 and strengthening its alliance with Microsoft in 2023.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44066117/elon-musk-battles-openai-over-move-to-for-profit-model-and-experts-are-pushing-back">Elon Musk Battles OpenAI Over Move To For-Profit Model — And Experts Are Pushing Back</a>
Earlier this month, US District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers denied Musk&#8217;s request for an injunction on OpenAI&#8217;s restructuring, but agreed to fast-track the trial over &#8220;interrelated contract-based claims&#8221;. OpenAI, for its part, has expressed satisfaction with the decision and is eager to present its case in court.
In February, Musk also made a $97.4 billion acquisition offer for the company, which was promptly turned down by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
Why It Matters: This legal dispute is a significant development in the AI industry, as it involves two major players, Elon Musk and OpenAI. 
The outcome of this case could potentially influence the future direction of AI companies and their decision to transition to a for-profit model. Furthermore, the trial&#8217;s expedited timeline indicates the urgency and importance attached to this case by both parties. 
The legal battle also underscores the ongoing tension between Musk and OpenAI, which could have far-reaching implications for their respective roles in the AI sector.

TON Token Value Soars 20% As Telegram Founder Pavel Durov Regains Passport From French Authorities

Recent Internal Revenue Service data reveals that tax refunds are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44295365/trump-wants-no-tax-for-anybody-making-less-than-150000-a-year-says-howard-lutnick-thats-what-im-working-for">substantially larger this year</a>, even though fewer Americans are filing early returns.
According to a Detroit Free Press <a href="https://www.freep.com/story/money/taxes/2025/03/13/irs-receiving-fewer-early-returns/82303587007/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">report</a>, this shift presents a valuable opportunity for tax professionals to guide clients through changing tax dynamics.
Larger Refunds for Early Filers
As of Feb. 21, the average federal income tax refund rose to $3,453 — a 7.5% increase from the previous year, <a href="https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/filing-season-statistics-for-week-ending-feb-21-2025" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">according to the IRS</a>. The IRS has distributed over $102.2 billion in refunds so far, marking a 10% increase over the same period in 2024.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-file-your-own-taxes">A Beginner's Guide: How to File Your Own Taxes in 2025</a>
Decline in Early Filing Numbers
Despite larger refunds, early tax filings have dropped by 4.2% compared to 2024, according to IRS data. This decrease affects both professionally-prepared returns (down 5%) and self-prepared submissions (down 3.3%).
New 1099-K Reporting Requirements
The IRS has lowered the 1099-K reporting threshold to $5,000 (previously $20,000), adding complexity for individuals with side hustles or online sales (IRS, 2025). This change has created confusion among taxpayers, especially regarding the distinction between business income and personal item sales.
Tax professionals should educate clients on accurately reporting these transactions to avoid potential penalties.
IRS Staffing Cuts and Potential Delays
The IRS recently announced the layoff of over 6,000 employees. This staffing reduction raises concerns about slower processing times.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has directed a review of military standards related to physical fitness and appearance, signaling potential changes to recent policies designed to increase diversity and inclusion.
The review, <a href="https://media.defense.gov/2025/Mar/12/2003666182/-1/-1/1/RAPID-FORCE-WIDE-REVIEW-OF-MILITARY-STANDARDS-OSD001952-25-RES-FINAL.PDF" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ordered</a> late Wednesday in a memo, focuses on physical fitness, body composition, and grooming guidelines, including beard policies across all military services.
&#8220;We must remain vigilant in maintaining the standards that enable the men and women of our military to protect the American people and our homeland as the world&#8217;s most lethal and effective fighting force,&#8221; the memo read.
Hegseth&#8217;s directive to the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness aims to examine the evolution of these standards since January 2015, when the military opened all combat roles to women, The Hill <a target="_blank" href="https://thehill.com/policy/defense/5196183-military-standards-review/?tbref=hp" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.

The memo highlights concerns about maintaining high standards that ensure military readiness and effectiveness.
Hegseth&#8217;s recent statements suggest a desire to tighten standards, particularly in response to what he claims are loosened requirements for physical fitness and body composition to meet diversity quotas.
He has previously criticized changes, such as higher body fat limits for recruits, and questioned the inclusion of women in combat roles, although he later pledged to ensure women have equal access to these positions as long as standards remain high.
The review will also likely address changes in grooming policies, including relaxed rules on hairstyles and appearance, aimed at accommodating diverse service members, particularly those in the Army.
The outcome of the review could result in stricter regulations across the military.
&#8220;Our adversaries are not growing weaker, and our tasks are not growing less challenging. This review will illuminate how the Department has maintained the level of standards required over the recent past and the trajectory of any change in those standards,&#8221; the memo added.

Pentagon Orders Review of Fitness and Grooming Standards

In a world of ever-changing investment landscapes, the enduring wisdom of the late investment expert and Warren Buffett&#8216;s partner, Charlie Munger, continues to guide investors towards better investment results.
What Happened: Munger&#8217;s investment philosophy, which focused on capitalizing on market inefficiencies and steering clear of common mistakes that often ensnare investors. Munger&#8217;s belief was that wealth accumulation was not solely about making astute investment choices, but also about evading errors that could diminish wealth.
Munger warned about the dangers of emotional decision-making, a frequent obstacle in investing. He stressed the significance of a logical approach to business and investing, urging investors to cultivate a disciplined, rational mindset towards their financial choices.
"A great business at a fair price is superior to a fair business at a great price. If you're not willing to react with equanimity to a market price decline of 50% two or three times a century, you're not fit to be a common shareholder, and you deserve the mediocre result you're going to get," Munger said during an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytGa7WR_UmI">interview</a>.  
Munger also cautioned investors about the perils of market timing. He was of the opinion that a steady presence in the market usually outperforms efforts to time market entries and exits. He championed a buy-and-hold strategy, highlighting the strength of patience and long-term vision in investing.

Finally, Munger emphasized the importance of achieving the right balance in diversification. He warned against both over-diversification and under-diversification, advocating for a balanced approach that is adapted to individual situations.
&#8220;Wide diversification, which necessarily includes investment in mediocre businesses, only guarantees ordinary results," he said. 
He was convinced that identifying the right degree of diversification could potentially improve risk-adjusted returns and construct a more robust portfolio.
Why It Matters: Munger&#8217;s advice remains relevant in today&#8217;s volatile investment environment. His emphasis on rational decision-making, consistent market presence, and balanced diversification provides a roadmap for investors navigating the complexities of the market. 
His wisdom serves as a reminder that avoiding common investment pitfalls is as crucial as making smart investment decisions for wealth creation.

D-Wave Quantum And IonQ Are Among Top Mid-Cap Stock Gainers Last Week (Mar 10-Mar 14): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

Netflix Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) new high-budget film &#8220;The Electric State&#8221; has received a tepid response from critics, despite the streaming service reportedly investing hundreds of millions in its production.
What Happened: The sci-fi movie, which premiered on Friday, has garnered a score of a mere 17% from 69 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. The movie features Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, and is directed by the Russo brothers, who are renowned for their contributions to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Estimates indicate that the film&#8217;s budget could have reached $320 million, positioning it among the most costly movies ever produced. 
This figure significantly surpasses the combined budgets of the 10 most recent Oscar winners for best picture, which collectively amount to less than $230 million, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/the-electric-state-netflix-budget-critics-reviews-2025-3">report</a>I Insider.
The Russo brothers have previously achieved success with high-budget films, including&nbsp;&#8220;Captain America: The Winter Soldier,&#8221;&nbsp;which grossed $714 million worldwide&nbsp;on a reported $170 million&nbsp;budget.

 However, their recent endeavors&nbsp;outside the Marvel Cinematic Universe, particularly on streaming platforms, have not been as fruitful.
&#8220;The Electric State&#8221; is an adaptation of Simon Stålenhag&#8217;s 2018 illustrated novel of the same title, but critics have labeled the film as &#8220;derivative&#8221; and &#8220;soulless,&#8221; with &#8220;mind-numbingly repetitive&#8221; action sequences.
Netflix and the Russo brothers&nbsp;have not yet issued any comments in response to these critiques.
Why It Matters: The lukewarm reception of &#8220;The Electric State&#8221; raises questions about the sustainability of high-budget productions for streaming services. Despite the massive investment, the film&#8217;s poor critical response could impact its viewership and return on investment. 
This could potentially influence Netflix&#8217;s future decisions regarding the allocation of its budget for film productions. 
The Russo brothers&#8217; recent lackluster performances&nbsp;outside the Marvel Cinematic Universe&nbsp;also suggest a need for a strategic reassessment of their projects.

The past week has been a whirlwind of news for&nbsp;Tesla, Inc., with the electric vehicle giant making headlines for a variety of reasons. From a surprising switch in Baltimore to allegations of rebate manipulation in Canada, Tesla&#8217;s journey has been anything but smooth. Meanwhile, Southeast Asia&#8217;s ride-hailing giant,&nbsp;Grab Holdings, is making strides in the autonomous vehicle sector. Let&#8217;s dive into the details.
Baltimore Ditches Tesla for Ford
In a surprising turn of events, the city of Baltimore has decided to reverse a deal with Tesla that was set in 2024. The city had initially planned to use Tesla&#8217;s electric vehicles for police and other government officials. However, the deal has now been cancelled, with no political reasons cited for the change.

Trump&#8217;s Tesla Purchase Could Boost Sales

Tesla's Rollercoaster Ride, Grab's Autonomous Ambitions: This Week In Mobility

In the aftermath of US airstrikes in Yemen, which led to a minimum of 31 fatalities, the Houthi rebel group has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41196317/trump-urges-israel-to-target-iran-nuke-sites-hit-nuclear-first-and-worry-about-the-rest-later">issued a warning of retaliation.</a>
What Happened: A series of airstrikes were launched by the US in Yemen on Saturday. This resulted in the death of at least 31 individuals and left 101 others injured, as per the Houthi health ministry. The Houthi group has promised to react with &#8220;more escalation.&#8221;
President Donald Trump announced that he had ordered the airstrikes on regions in Yemen under Houthi control. He pledged to use "overwhelming lethal force" until the rebel group stopped attacks on shipping along a crucial maritime corridor.
As per the report <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/houthis-vow-retaliate-us-strikes-death-toll-rcna196605">by </a>NBC News, the Houthis, who are backed by Iran and have seized a part of Yemen including its capital, Sanaa, started launching missiles and drones as a response to the war in Gaza. The group reported explosions in Sanaa and Saada, a Houthi stronghold near the Saudi border, with additional airstrikes early Sunday.
Nasr el-Din Amer, the Houthi spokesperson, revealed that the majority of the casualties from the airstrikes were women and children. The Houthis have committed to continuing their operations "until the blockade on Gaza is lifted."
Trump also issued a warning to Iran to stop supporting the rebel group, holding the country "fully accountable" for the actions of its proxy Houthi group. Iran provides the Houthis with financial support, training, and equipment.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41703497/iran-flexes-nuclear-muscle-threatens-us-with-tooth-breaking-retaliation" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Iran Flexes Nuclear Muscle, Threatens US With ‘Tooth-Breaking' Retaliation</a>
In a Truth Social post, Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114167864888304754">wrote</a>, &#8216;To Iran: Support for the Houthi terrorists must end IMMEDIATELY! Do NOT threaten the American People, their President, who has received one of the largest mandates in Presidential History, or Worldwide shipping lanes. If you do, BEWARE, because America will hold you fully accountable and, we won't be nice about it!&#8217;
Hossein Salami, the commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps, declared that Iran would "respond decisively and destructively" to any enemy threats. However, he also distanced Iran from the Houthis, emphasizing that the group makes their strategic decisions independently.
Why It Matters: The escalating tensions and threats of retaliation from the Houthi group highlight the volatile situation in Yemen. The US airstrikes and the subsequent response from the Houthis have intensified the conflict in the region. 
This development could potentially impact the geopolitical dynamics in the Middle East, with the involvement of Iran adding another layer of complexity. 
The US&#8217;s stance against Iran&#8217;s support for the Houthis also underscores the strained relations between the two nations.

Softbank's AI Data Center, Block's AI Boost, Altman's Warning, Nvidia's Valuation Drop, And Apple's Fumble: This Week In Artificial Intelligence

A small business owner recently took to Reddit to vent about an employee who couldn't understand why his hours were being cut. The reason was indeed &#8220;because of the tariffs,&#8221; but the employee was baffled.
&#8220;He asked, condescendingly, why Canada and China having to pay us an extra tax would slow down sales on the consumer end,&#8221; the business owner wrote. &#8220;Said it shouldn't make a difference on packaging.&#8221;

</ul>
The <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/smallbusiness/comments/1j9c3an/does_anybody_else_have_that_employee_or_those/">post</a> titled, &#8220;Does anybody else have that employee, or those employees, who just can't grasp the impact of the tariffs?&#8221; shared on r/smallbusiness, quickly gained traction, sparking a heated discussion about tariffs, economic literacy, and the real-world consequences of policy decisions. Many commenters expressed frustration over how common it is for people to misunderstand tariffs and taxes in general.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Who Really Pays the Price?</h2>
For years, some politicians have claimed that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/12/42383874/expert-slams-trumps-tariff-policies-as-completely-and-utterly-wrong-but-says-we-dont-think-they-are-going-to-do-anything">tariffs are a tax on foreign countries</a>. But business owners and economists alike know that's not how it works. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44070257/warren-buffett-calls-tariffs-an-act-of-war-warns-they-function-as-a-tax-on-goods-amid-market-turmoil">Tariffs are a tax on imports</a>, which means U.S. businesses pay more for the goods they bring in. Those higher costs then get passed on to consumers or result in businesses cutting expenses—like labor.
&#8220;I had just placed a few orders at increased pricing, so I gave him the most top-to-bottom explanation I could,&#8221; the Reddit poster continued. &#8220;He was shocked that tariffs were just an extra tax on us and that the U.S. doesn't just have the capability to produce EVERYTHING.&#8221;
That realization hit hard. &#8220;At the end, he said that's not what he thought when he voted for them.&#8221;
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/elon-musk-told-the-u-n-if-they-could-show-a-plan-for-ending-world-hunger-hed-donate-6-billion-i-will-sell-tesla-stock-right-now-and-do-it">Elon Musk Told The U.N. 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>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Broader Issue</h2>
The post resonated with many small business owners who have struggled to explain basic economic concepts to employees, customers, and even fellow business owners.
&#8220;The amount of time I have spent explaining how <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/01/42757069/i-dont-care-what-tax-bracket-youre-in-suze-orman-insists-youd-be-crazy-to-have-anything-other-than-a-roth-retirement-account">tax brackets</a> work to people and their inability to grasp the concept is astonishing,&#8221; one commenter wrote.
Another chimed in: &#8220;Most people don't even understand their own income taxes. Corporate taxes and international business are way outside of their comfort zone.&#8221;
Others pointed out that financial education in schools is lacking, leaving many Americans ill-equipped to understand economic policies that affect them.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Real-World Consequences</h2>
Tariffs aren't just abstract political debates—they have tangible effects on businesses and workers. Several small business owners in the thread shared how tariffs have disrupted their supply chains, raised costs, and led to layoffs.
One business owner in the solar industry said <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44269301/trumps-25-tariffs-on-steel-and-aluminum-imports-take-effect-eu-retaliates-us-steel-nucor-century-aluminum-and-other-domestic-stocks-cheer">tariffs on aluminum and steel</a> have made <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/partner/tech/25/02/43943892/from-tariffs-to-funding-freezes-solar-installs-are-getting-pricier-save-up-to-4000-with-monalee-befo">solar panel installations significantly more expensive</a>. &#8220;The average residential system now costs an extra $2,000,&#8221; they wrote. &#8220;Tried to explain it to [my manager], and he argued that customers shouldn't be paying the price for tariffs. Don't really have much of a choice when our material prices go up 20%+.&#8221;
Another commenter shared that their company had to lay off nearly half its staff due to declining sales and uncertainty caused by tariffs. &#8220;Our domestic sales have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43949339/consumer-confidence-plummets-in-february-sharp-decline-marks-third-consecutive-monthly-drop">fallen off a cliff</a> since the third quarter. At least 65% month to month. International sales are far worse.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Misinformation and Frustration</h2>
A recurring theme in the discussion was frustration over how tariffs are portrayed in politics and the media. Many commenters blamed politicians for spreading misinformation about who actually pays tariffs.
&#8220;The number of people who couldn't even be bothered to Google ‘How do tariffs work?' in the fall is astounding,&#8221; one user commented.
Another pointed out that even high-ranking officials seem confused about tariffs. &#8220;My own congresswoman does not understand how tariffs work, which is ridiculous.&#8221;
Some argued that the confusion isn't accidental. &#8220;Almost all the politicians understand. They just know it's better for them to play dumb,&#8221; one commenter suggested.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Lesson in Economics</h2>
For the small business owner who started the discussion, the experience has been eye-opening—but also exhausting. &#8220;I'm sick of explaining tariffs and wish that people were better at doing their own research,&#8221; he admitted.
