Prominent economists are raising concerns about the inflationary impact and economic consequences of former President Donald Trump&#8216;s newly announced tariffs on major U.S. trading partners, with Allianz Chief Economic Advisor Mohamed El-Erian emphasizing the complexity of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43423288/trumps-tariffs-are-here-heres-what-will-get-more-expensive-from-canada-china-and-mexico">predicting their full effects</a>.
What Happened: In a series of posts on X on Sunday, El-Erian addressed growing questions about the inflationary impact of Trump&#8217;s tariffs, which include a 25% duty on Mexican and most Canadian imports and a 10% tariff on Chinese goods. 
&#8220;Unlike others who have proclaimed either &#8216;very&#8217; or &#8216;not at all,&#8217; I am quick to say we don&#8217;t know for sure,&#8221; El-Erian said.
El-Erian highlighted several key variables affecting the tariffs&#8217; impact, including demand and supply elasticities, price pass-through speeds, and the lingering effects of 2021-2022 inflationary expectations. 
&#8220;It's because there are several factors in play that translate not just into genuine analytical uncertainty but also consequential sector-and good-specific differences,&#8221; El-Erian added.

He also highlighted concerns about potential retaliatory measures, noting from a Bloomberg report that Trump&#8217;s executive orders include clauses that would increase U.S. tariffs if affected countries respond with counter-tariffs.

Why It Matters: Former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers offered a more direct critique, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43425160/trump-tariffs-a-strategic-gift-to-xi-jinpings-china-says-obama-era-treasury-secretary-jobs-in-industrial-heartland-will-be-lost">describing the tariffs</a> as a &#8220;strategic gift to Xi Jinping&#8221; and a &#8220;bully strategy&#8221; that could have severe economic consequences. &#8220;Jobs in the industrial heartland will be lost as American producers can&#8217;t compete due to higher input costs,&#8221; Summers warned on X, adding that the measures could strain relationships with Canada and Mexico.
The tariffs, set to take effect Tuesday, target approximately one-third of U.S. imports, potentially affecting prices across various sectors from agriculture to automobiles. 
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has warned of supply chain disruptions and increased costs for American families, while economists note particular concerns about the $46 billion agricultural import relationship with Mexico and the $97 billion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43423288/trumps-tariffs-are-here-heres-what-will-get-more-expensive-from-canada-china-and-mexico">energy trade with Canada</a>.

Mohamed El-Erian Won't Say How Inflationary Trump's Tariff's Will Be: Here's Why

Nobel Prize-winning economist Eugene Fama foresaw a 100% probability that Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), the world&#8217;s largest cryptocurrency, will lose all of its value within the next decade.
What Happened:  During an interview on the Capitalisn't podcast, the &#8220;father of modern finance&#8221; was asked about the likelihood of Bitcoin&#8217;s value plummeting to zero in the next 10 years, to which he replied, &#8220;I would say it&#8217;s close to one.&#8221;
Fama stated that cryptocurrency runs against all that is known about monetary theory.
Fama&#8217;s doubts about cryptocurrencies were rooted in their inherent instability. He argued that they contradict the essential principles of a medium of exchange due to their fluctuating real value.
&#8220;They don&#8217;t have a stable real value, you know. They have highly variable real value. That kind of a medium of exchange is not supposed to survive,&#8221; Fama said. &#8220;People don&#8217;t want to do business in something that itself can put them out of business.&#8221;
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Why This Nobel Economist Thinks Bitcoin Is Going to Zero, with Eugene Fama" width="500" height="375" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/JqnccpQIG_w?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>

</figure>
The pioneer of the efficient market hypothesis also criticized the energy-intensive method of mining, responsible for bringing new Bitcoins into circulation.
&#8220;It&#8217;s really not sustainable. You can&#8217;t have a whole financial system built on this because it requires too much in the way of computing power,&#8221; Fama argued. 
The gloomy prediction comes after a record-breaking year for the leading cryptocurrency that saw it reach all-time highs of $109,000 and more than double its market value.

Why It Matters: Fama&#8217;s prediction follows similar skepticism by well-known economists toward Bitcoin. 
Nobel laureate Paul Krugman called Bitcoin &#8220;economically useless&#8221; last year in July, questioning President Donald Trump&#8217;s embrace of it while he was on the campaign trail. He even referred to Trump&#8217;s proposal for a national Bitcoin stockpile as a &#8220;government bailout&#8221; of a scandal-ridden sector.
Another influential economist, Justin Wolfers, questioned the feasibility of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40152445/trumps-bold-plan-to-use-bitcoin-to-wipe-out-35t-us-debt-questioned-by-economist-justin-wol">national Bitcoin stockpile</a>, indicating a growing doubt about the economic viability of Bitcoin.
Notably, Trump signed executive orders, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43177482/trump-signs-executive-order-on-crypto-bitcoin-reserve-to-be-evaluated">evaluating the creation of a "strategic national digital assets stockpile</a>."
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $94,421.46, sinking 5.31% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Nobel Prize Winner Predicts Bitcoin's Value Will Plummet To Zero In Next 10 Years—'Father Of Modern Finance' Says Crypto Antithesis Of Monetary Theory

Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) Watch Series 10 users are reportedly voicing their dissatisfaction over the limited selection of watch faces available, despite the device&#8217;s advanced features.
The latest update has only slightly expanded the options, leaving many users wanting more.
What Happened: The Apple Watch Series 10, which boasts a larger display and smarter watch faces, uniquely supports an always-on-second display. However, this feature is restricted to just four watch faces, <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2025/02/02/apple-watch-faces-are-broken-and-apples-latest-move-isnt-helping/">reported</a> 9to5Mac.&nbsp;
Initially, only three faces—Flux, Reflections, and Activity Digital—supported this feature. The latest addition of the Unity Rhythm face in watchOS 11.3 has increased this number to four.

However, users are frustrated as they seek more customization options, including third-party watch faces, which remain unavailable.
The report noted that Apple has been removing certain watch faces without clear reasons. The company&#8217;s strategy appears to focus on introducing a few new faces annually that support always-on seconds while phasing out less popular ones.
Users hope future updates, like watchOS 12, will enable all watch faces to use the hardware&#8217;s full capabilities.
Apple did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga's</a> request for comments.

Why It Matters: The frustration among users comes at a time when Apple is celebrating a strong financial performance.
In its <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43355688/apple-q1-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-iphone-sales-slip-installed-base-climbs-to-all-time-high-our-best-quarter-ever">first-quarter earnings</a> report, Apple announced a revenue of $124.3 billion, surpassing analyst expectations of $124.13 billion. The company also reported adjusted earnings of $2.40 per share, beating the forecast of $2.36 per share.
Wearables, Home, and Accessories reported $11.75 billion in revenue, compared to $11.95 billion in the same period last year.

Apple Watch Faces Are A Mess — Series 10's Biggest Feature Is Limited To Just Four Faces, Frustrating Users

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSMWF#OTC">TSMWF</a>) shares dropped sharply Monday as trading resumed after the Lunar New Year holiday, with investors responding to last week&#8217;s global selloff in artificial intelligence stocks triggered by developments at Chinese AI firm DeepSeek.
What Happened: TSMC shares fell as much as 6.6% to 1,070 New Taiwan dollars ($32.32) on the Taiwan exchange, marking their steepest decline in nearly six months. The selloff dragged down Taiwan&#8217;s benchmark Taiex index by 4.4% to 22,627 points, while Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. also known as Foxconn tumbled 9.2% to 165.50 New Taiwan dollars.
The decline follows DeepSeek&#8217;s announcement of its R1 AI model, which the company claims was developed for just $5.6 million &#8211; a figure that has drawn skepticism from industry experts. Wedbush analyst Dan Ives dismissed the claim as &#8220;likely a fictional story,&#8221; noting that comparable models like OpenAI&#8216;s GPT-4 required investments <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/43296460/dan-ives-says-chinese-startup-deepseeks-6-million-ai-development-assertion-is-likely-a-fictional-story">exceeding $100 million</a>.

Why It Matters: The controversy deepened as prominent tech <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/43296460/dan-ives-says-chinese-startup-deepseeks-6-million-ai-development-assertion-is-likely-a-fictional-story">figures raised concerns</a> about DeepSeek&#8217;s development process. OpenAI investor Josh Kushner suggested the Chinese model may have been trained using U.S. technology in violation of export controls. Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang alleged DeepSeek had acquired 50,000 advanced chips through unreported channels, a claim that Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk appeared to support.
The uncertainty surrounding DeepSeek&#8217;s capabilities and methods has rippled through the semiconductor sector, contributing to a $600 billion decline in Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) market value last Monday. TSMC&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) U.S.-listed shares had previously fallen 13% last Monday before recovering some losses.
The White House has reportedly begun examining DeepSeek&#8217;s operations for potential<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43293506/chinas-deepseek-under-white-house-scrutiny-over-potential-national-security-risks"> national security risks</a>, particularly given the company&#8217;s backing by High-Flyer, an $8 billion Chinese quantitative hedge fund.

What Happened: Bitcoin was in free fall, crashing below $92,000 for the first time since January 13, before recouping to $93,000. The leading cryptocurrency lost nearly 8% of its value over the last 24 hours. 
The rest of the market was hit more severely. Ethereum plunged over 25% to a nearly 3-month low, while Dogecoin plummeted 26%.

The cryptocurrency market bled profusely, encountering over $2 billion in the last 24 hours and over $1 billion getting wiped out in the last 4 hours.&nbsp;
Bitcoin's Open Interest fell 4.72% in the last 24 hours, suggesting large-scale liquidation of longs.
However, the number of traders betting on the cryptocurrency's upside rose in the last 24 hours, with 66% of Binance futures traders going long on Bitcoin.
"Fear" sentiment engulfed the market, according to the reading on the Crypto Fear &amp; Greed Index, indicating that investors could panic sell.

Analyst Notes: Popular cryptocurrency market commentator Michaël van de Poppe was undeterred by the altcoin losses and predicted an upside move in the coming weeks.
&#8220;The massive bullish divergence on TOTAL3/BTC is still applied. The higher low has still been created, and the continuation on the altcoins should come in the coming weeks,&#8221; the trader remarked.
Note that &#8220;TOTAL3&#8221; corresponds to the cryptocurrency&#8217;s total market cap excluding BTC and ETH.

Another well-known cryptocurrency analyst, Ali Martinez, emphasized the importance of Ethereum sustaining the $2,750 support level to justify a rebound to $6,760.
As it turned out, the second-largest cryptocurrency has dropped significantly below $2,750, casting doubt on its positive sentiment.

Bitcoin Crashes Below $92,000, Ethereum, Dogecoin Slump As Trump's Tariff War Spooks Investors: Analyst Reveals If ETH Can Chart $6000 Rebound

LinkedIn, owned by Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Indeed and Greenhouse have all introduced new AI-powered tools designed to help job seekers gauge their chances of receiving responses from potential employers.
What Happened: LinkedIn is currently testing &#8220;responsiveness insights&#8221; on select job postings, with plans to expand this feature across the platform, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-02-02/linkedin-indeed-launch-tools-to-help-job-seekers-narrow-their-search?srnd=homepage-asia">reported</a> Bloomberg on Sunday.
The platform is also improving its AI-powered &#8220;job match&#8221; feature. It assesses how well a candidate fits a job listing. The goal is to reduce application overload by guiding users toward roles where they have a better chance of getting a response.
Indeed is upgrading its &#8220;responsive employer&#8221; badges, which have been in place since 2018. The platform now offers more detailed insights, such as median response times, to assist job seekers in identifying companies that are more likely to respond.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43425315/openais-deep-research-promises-ai-powered-analysis-heres-what-it-can-and-cant-do">OpenAI&#8217;s &#8216;Deep Research&#8217; Promises AI-Powered Analysis — Here&#8217;s What It Can (And Can&#8217;t) Do</a>
Greenhouse is experimenting with a badge system to verify employers&#8217; commitment to respectful and communicative hiring practices. These badges aim to reward companies that uphold high standards in their recruitment processes.
These developments come as job seekers face increasing challenges in the labor market, with many experiencing long-term unemployment. The new tools are designed to improve transparency and efficiency in the hiring process, benefiting both applicants and employers.
Why It Matters: Last year, more than 14 million job seekers&#8217; applications were entirely ignored in just one quarter, the report noted, citing one hiring platform.

14 Million Job Seekers Didn't Hear Back From Potential Employers In Just A Single Quarter Last Year: Now LinkedIn Is Moving To Change That With AI Help

The Bank of Japan policymakers expressed growing concerns about inflation risks and yen weakness during their January meeting, where they raised rates to a 17-year high of 0.5%, according to meeting summary notes released on Monday.
Several board members emphasized the need for &#8220;timely and gradual&#8221; rate increases, citing mounting price pressures and potential financial overheating. The central bank&#8217;s latest move, approved in an 8-1 vote, marks its second rate hike since exiting its decade-long stimulus <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42135336/usdjpy-awaits-potential-stimulus-impact">program in March 2024</a>.

The yen has shown modest strength since the last rate hike decision on Jan. 24, with USD/JPY edging down 0.21% to 155.68 from 156.02. Meanwhile, the U.S. Dollar Index has climbed 1.96% to 109.55, reflecting broader currency market dynamics.
BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/01/42995151/bojs-kazuo-ueda-signals-rate-hikes-japanese-bond-yields-rise-to-14-year-high-what-the-recent-past-tells-us-about-impact-on-us-markets">maintains a hawkish stance</a>, indicating readiness for additional rate increases if wage growth continues to support consumption and stable inflation. While some members expressed optimism about a U.S. soft landing, others cautioned about risks from potential U.S. inflation resurgence and escalating trade tensions.
Real interest rates remain &#8220;significantly negative&#8221; even after the hike, according to one board member, suggesting room for further monetary tightening as Japan aims to sustainably achieve its 2% inflation target.

Bank Of Japan Signals Further Rate Hikes Possible Amid Inflation, Economic Overheating Worries

On Sunday, OpenAI revealed a new feature for ChatGPT called &#8220;deep research,&#8221; which autonomously plans and executes multi-step data searches.
What Happened: This feature allows users to input questions using text, images, and files like PDFs or spreadsheets. It takes five to 30 minutes to generate a response but goes beyond text generation.
The deep research feature displays a sidebar summary that outlines its research process, includes citations, and provides a reference overview.

However, despite its capabilities, OpenAI acknowledges that deep research can sometimes &#8220;hallucinate&#8221; or confuse authoritative information with rumors.
The tool is designed to operate at a research analyst level, but it is still refining its accuracy and reliability.
OpenAI&#8217;s deep research is available for Pro users, offering up to 100 queries per month <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42356469/openai-unveils-200-chatgpt-pro-subscription-inside-the-o1-reasoning-model-and-what-it-means-for-power-users">for a $200 fee</a>. Limited access is also available for Plus, Team, and Enterprise users.
The model powering deep research achieved a 26.6% accuracy on an AI benchmark, surpassing previous models, said OpenAI.

OpenAI's 'Deep Research' Promises AI-Powered Analysis — Here's What It Can (And Can't) Do

Tesla Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) global export strategy faces mounting pressure from rising trade tensions and persistently high interest rates, according to prominent Tesla investor Gary Black.
What Happened: Black, Managing Partner at The Future Fund LLC, warned on Sunday that elevated long-term interest rates continue to weigh on auto sales across the industry, affecting major manufacturers including Tesla, General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>), Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>), and Rivian Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>).
The warning comes as President Donald Trump implements aggressive trade measures, including 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports effective Feb. 1. These actions have sparked concerns about retaliatory measures that could disrupt global automotive trade.
According to data from Troy Teslike cited by Black, Tesla exported 323,499 vehicles in 2024, representing 18.1% of its total 1.79 million deliveries. The company&#8217;s Shanghai factory led export operations, shipping 246,910 units overseas, while U.S. facilities exported 49,747 vehicles and the Berlin plant sent 26,842 units abroad.
&#8220;That is the volume at risk if Trump&#8217;s tariffs develop into a full-scale retaliatory trade war similar to what happened globally in the 1930s,&#8221; Black said.
In the 1930s, the world experienced the Great Depression, a severe global economic downturn that lasted from 1929 to the early 1940s. One of the key events that worsened the economic crisis was the rise of protectionist trade policies, most notably the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 in the United States.

You&#8217;ve Got To Be Kidding Me!&#8217; Kevin O&#8217;Leary Slams Credit Card Debt As &#8216;The Real Silent Killer In America&#8217;</a>
Why It Matters: The export concerns emerge against a backdrop of steady U.S. interest rates, with the Federal Reserve maintaining its target range at 4.25% to 4.5% after ending a series of rate cuts that began in September. Treasury yields, while declining from late-2024 peaks, remain elevated compared to levels seen when the Fed began easing policy.
The combination of trade tensions and high borrowing costs poses a dual challenge for automakers as they navigate an increasingly complex global market environment.

Gary Black Warns Tesla's 18% Export Volume At Risk Amid Trump Tariffs: 'Full-Scale Retaliatory Trade War' Possible

Elon Musk, the lead of the Department of Government Efficiency, backed the idea of using blockchain technology on Sunday to streamline the U.S. Treasury.
What happened: The Tesla and SpaceX CEO accused the Treasury Department officials of flouting rules to sanction government payments.
"Career Treasury officials are breaking the law every hour of every day by approving payments that are fraudulent or do not match the funding laws passed by Congress," Musk wrote in an X post.
Musk cited 31 U.S.C. Section 3325, which requires government disbursing officials to obtain certification from the head of the relevant executive agency before authorizing such payments.

In response, widely followed X user Mario Nawfal asked Musk whether it would be wise to place the Treasury on the blockchain to plug these holes, to which the tech titan said, &#8220;Yes.&#8221;

Elon Musk Says Treasury Officials 'Breaking The Law Every Hour' By Approving Fraudulent Payments — DOGE Lead Wants A Blockchain Fix

On Sunday, renowned economist and Obama-era Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers criticized President Trump&#8217;s recent tariff impositions, describing them as a &#8220;bully strategy&#8221; that could have far-reaching negative impacts.
What Happened: In a series of posts on X, Summers voiced his disapproval of Trump&#8217;s tariffs, stating they are a &#8220;strategic gift to Xi Jinping.&#8221; He warned that the tariffs could lead to price increases for oil, food, and cars, possibly necessitating a response from the Federal Reserve in the form of raised interest rates.

Trump Tariffs A 'Strategic Gift' To Xi Jinping's China, Says Obama-Era Treasury Secretary: 'Jobs In Industrial Heartland Will Be Lost'

Billionaire entrepreneur <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43281034/im-in-mark-cuban-asked-how-can-i-solve-working-class-problems-and-one-answer-kept-coming-up">Mark Cuban</a> has expressed passing interest in purchasing Fox News, stating that if he had money to buy the network, he would do so "in a heartbeat."&nbsp; While discussing the baby boomer generation with Wired, Cuban explained that owning the network would be a key way to reach what he refers to as the "Fox News generation."&nbsp;
In the interview, Cuban broke down the financial realities of such a purchase. The market capitalization of Fox Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOX#NASDAQ">FOX</a>, FOXA)) at the time of the interview (in September) sat around $15.6 billion–the corporation's value has increased by over 30% since then.&nbsp;

</ul>
At the time, Cuban estimated that acquiring the network would require paying at least a 50% premium, bringing the price up to around $22 billion. He also said that changes would need to be made to the network, and that might require another $2 billion. While he said some things could be sold off, he estimated that the total net cost could range between $15 billion and $20 billion.
"I don't have $15 or $20 billion in cash sitting around," Cuban admitted, emphasizing that even with his substantial fortune, such an acquisition is out of reach for him. Cuban's current networth is estimated at $5.7 billion.&nbsp;
Cuban has previously used the term &#8220;Fox News generation&#8221; to describe how his own generation—baby boomers—have shifted in their views over time. In an earlier interview with The New York Times, he stated how the generation known for &#8220;sex, drugs, and rock and roll&#8221; had become one that, in his view, condemns movements like Black Lives Matter and is heavily influenced by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/25/01/42896754/from-23-5-million-florida-home-to-nyc-engaged-fox-news-host-sean-hannity-to-bridge-the-distance">Fox News</a>.

During his interview with Wired, he said the boomer generation is a disappointment. When asked if there was an ‘antidote' to counterbalance the negative views Cuban perceives from this generation, he was blunt: "You buy Fox News."
In addition to discussing Fox News, Cuban also entertained the idea of buying X, the social-media platform formerly known as Twitter. When asked whether he would consider purchasing the company from current owner <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/01/43335267/some-employees-survive-but-a-whole-lot-dont-says-elon-musks-biographer-about-his-demon-mode-in-which-hes-coldly-brutal-to-people">Elon Musk</a>, Cuban responded positively but noted that Musk is unlikely to sell.
"There's no reason for him to sell it," Cuban said. When the interviewer jokingly suggested convincing Musk that selling was his own idea, Cuban admitted, "I wouldn't know how to do that."

While Cuban's remarks about buying Fox News and X were speculative, they highlight his interest in media influence and control. His statements suggest that he sees ownership as a powerful tool for shaping public discourse, particularly among older audiences who heavily consume cable news. However, without the necessary capital, such a move remains purely hypothetical.
For now, Fox News remains under the control of Rupert Murdoch's media empire, and Musk continues to hold ownership of X. Whether Cuban—or any other <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42716098/musk-to-arnault-heres-a-look-at-2024s-billionaire-boom-and-bust-who-gained-and-who-lost">billionaire</a>—will step in to shake up the media landscape remains to be seen.

Mark Cuban Said If He Had Enough Money To Buy Fox News, He'd 'Buy It In A Heartbeat' - Estimates It Could Turn Around For $15B-$20B

You may not have heard of Nicolai Tangen, but his name carries immense weight in the world of investing. He's the CEO of Norway's sovereign wealth fund, a financial juggernaut that is worth nearly $2 trillion. It is the largest of its kind in the world and as you might imagine, investor's ears perk up whenever he speaks. His latest advice might come as quite a surprise. Nicolai thinks you should dump tech stocks.
That advice seems even more curious when you consider that the fund he's responsible for managing owns $173 billion in Magnificent Seven stocks. The Magnificent Seven's current makeup is a who's who of big tech. It includes companies like Google, Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), and<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43256560/nvidia-faces-investor-panic-as-chinas-deepseek-emerges-but-top-analyst-predicts-higher-ai-infrastructure-demand-despite-market-jitters-the-market-is-overreacting-to-deepseeks-success"> Nivida</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>). More to the point, Mag Seven stocks powered a major stock market boom in 2024. So, why is he telling investors to be cautious?

</ul>
Tangen made his comments at the recent World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, which hosts most of the world's wealthiest families, investors, and business moguls. Speaking to Bloomberg, Tangen said, "The best thing to do is always to do the opposite of everybody else. What will that be today? Well, if you were to do the opposite of everybody else, it would be to sell the US tech stocks, buy China, sell private credit, just buy stuff that is out of fashion."
Simply put, Tangen is telling investors to do the opposite of what he's done to build wealth for Norges Bank Investment Management. Like many big funds, it has been riding the profit wave the Magnificent Seven has generated since the emergence of AI. According to Bloomberg, Norges Bank's six largest investments are Magnificent Seven stocks. That's in addition to $5.6 billion in Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) shares.

As recently as last summer, Norge Bank's semi-annual report was touting the growth of its tech portfolio, which was up almost 28% at the time. With that said, there is more than just a contrarian streak behind Tangen's warning on the Magnificent Seven. Like any wise investor, he's riding the tech wave while also keeping a watchful eye out for signs of a bubble that could pop.
Although tech has been booming, there is a high degree of interconnectivity between the top companies in the Magnificent Seven. They are almost all involved in a race to improve AI or provide services for AI's advancement. That interlinks their fates with chip and semiconductor makers like Nvidia, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) and<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43221806/nvidia-amd-broadcom-smci-tsmc-and-other-tech-giants-lead-monday-pre-market-selloff-as-nasdaq-100-futures-plummet-over-650-points-amid-reports-of-chinese-ai-startup-deepseek-overtaking-chatgpt"> </a>Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>). That's great for these companies as they explode in value, but it ties a lot of the stock market's wealth into one single sector.

According to Fortune Magazine, the Magnificent Seven accounts for nearly 33% of the S&amp;P 500's total value. The profit they generated represents 75% of the S&amp;P 500's growth in earnings for 2024. It's not hard to see why Tangen is concerned when you consider the flip side of that coin. Hundreds of billions of dollars in investor wealth will disappear very quickly the next time there is a major market correction or a sector-wide downturn.
Tangen sees that risk very clearly. During an interview with the Financial Times Unhedged podcast, Tangen warned, "The concentration is absolutely worrying. It means that there is a risk in the stock market which we have never seen before. So, there are very few companies tied into them, and they are getting bigger and bigger and more and more important."

CEO Of Norway's Sovereign Wealth Fund Advises Investors To Dump Tech Stocks

When it comes to personal finance, few things spark more debate than credit card usage. However, it seems that for Kevin O&#8217;Leary, the &#8220;Shark Tank&#8221; investor and businessman, the issue couldn't be more obvious—<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38299693/heres-the-gravest-error-you-can-make-with-credit-cards-like-owing-money-to-loan-sharks">credit card debt is a financial trap</a>. O&#8217;Leary's recent <a href="https://x.com/kevinolearytv/status/1883537883501310043">remarks</a> about the dangers of overspending and credit card debt struck a chord with many—and for good reason.
O&#8217;Leary's advice is to simply track your spending. &#8220;Take a piece of paper, you don&#8217;t need a computer, write down the money you made in 90 days and how much you spent during that same period," <a href="https://x.com/kevinolearytv/status/1883537883501310043">he said in an interview</a> with local Fox morning show "Good Day New York" earlier this week.&nbsp;

</ul>
Most people are shocked to find they're spending more than they're earning. And where does that excess spending end up? On credit cards. With interest rates hovering around 21%, carrying a balance is like pouring money down the drain. O'Leary calls it "the silent killer" of American finances, and he's not exaggerating.
Credit card balances, which now <a href="https://www.newyorkfed.org/microeconomics/hhdc">total</a> $1.17 trillion outstanding, increased by $24 billion during the third quarter alone and are 8.1% higher than they were a year earlier.

In a chat with financial guru Dave Ramsey on "The Ramsey Show" last May, Cuban didn't hold back, saying, &#8220;If you use your credit cards, you do not want to be rich.&#8221; His solution is to pay off all your credit cards and burn them.
Cuban broke it down like this: if your credit card interest rate is 15% to 20%, paying it off is like earning that percentage back. In his view, there's no better return on investment. Ramsey, who's built a career on helping people get out of debt, wholeheartedly agreed. He highlighted a Forbes survey that found 75% of wealthy people prioritize staying out of debt. &#8220;Life is better without credit cards,&#8221; Ramsey added, emphasizing that financial freedom starts with ditching high-interest debt.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Credit Cards Aren't Always the Villain</h2>
Not everyone agrees with the no-credit-card approach. For many Americans, responsibly using credit cards is a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-credit-cards-to-build-credit">way to build a credit history</a>, which is crucial for securing loans for big-ticket items like homes. Colin Palfrey, chief marketing officer at personal finance management company Crediful, points out, &#8220;For many average Americans, buying a home is a major part of their wealth-building plans, and not being able to establish a credit history will make it harder to get good rates.&#8221;

'21% Interest Rates?! You've Got To Be Kidding Me!' Kevin O'Leary Slams Credit Card Debt As 'The Real Silent Killer In America'

The Trump administration has rescinded Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for more than 300,000 Venezuelans in the United States, leaving them vulnerable to deportation in the coming months, according to government documents <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/us/politics/trump-venezuela-temporary-protected-status.html">obtained</a> by The New York Times and reported Sunday.
The news comes one day after President Donald Trump's <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113929394841474581">Saturday post</a> on Truth Social announcing that Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro had met with Trump administration official Richard Grenell and agreed to take back people who entered the U.S. illegally. The <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/senior-trump-official-travels-to-venezuela-for-talks-on-migrants/">meeting in Caracas</a> also led to the release of six US detainees held in Venezuela.
The NYT report underscores Trump's crackdown on the TPS program, which he began during his first term (2017-2021) though his efforts at the time were blocked by federal courts. TPS is normally available to people whose home country experienced a natural disaster, armed conflict or other extraordinary events.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/kristi-noem">Kristi Noem</a>, Homeland Security Secretary, said TPS was no longer necessary because it did not serve the national interest of the United States. according to the administration. 
"After reviewing country conditions and considering whether permitting Venezuelan nationals covered by the 2023 designation is contrary to the national interest of the United States, in consultation with the appropriate U.S. government agencies, the secretary of homeland security has determined that Venezuela no longer continues to meet the conditions for the 2023 designation," the administration's notice states, per the NY Times.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trump Administration Moving Quickly</h2>
In past TPS terminations, such as for El Salvador and Haiti, the affected individuals were granted at least 12 to 18 months before their status expired. This time, however, the administration is moving more swiftly. Venezuelans who received TPS 2023 will lose their protected status just 60 days after the termination notice is published.
Republican critics have long argued that TPS had evolved into a de facto permanent immigration program, rather than the temporary relief it was originally intended to provide.
More than 300,000 Venezuelans now hold TPS while another 250,000 have protections that extend through September. While the latter group is not immediately affected, the recent Trump administration decision suggests their status could also be in jeopardy.
At the time of this writing, there was no response as yet from the Maduro government in Venezuela.

300,000 Venezuelans Lose Protected Immigration Status: Trump Official Says Program Is 'Contrary To The National Interest'

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is reportedly facing challenges in the burgeoning fields of artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality (AR), suggesting a potential decline in its product innovation prowess. This comes despite the company posting record-high quarterly revenue.
Bloomberg columnist Mark Gurman in his <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2025-02-02/apple-aapl-ai-and-ar-struggles-show-it-has-lost-some-of-its-product-edge?srnd=undefined&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">latest</a> weekly &#8220;Power On&#8221; revealed that Apple&#8217;s ventures in AI and AR are trailing behind competitors such as Samsung Electronics Co., Alphabet Inc.&#8216;s Google (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), and various Chinese phone manufacturers. Despite efforts to position Apple Intelligence as a leading AI solution, the platform lags years behind its rivals.
Apple&#8217;s venture into AR has been equally challenging. The Vision Pro headset, despite its impressive engineering, has not resonated with consumers who prefer a lightweight pair of glasses &#8211; a product that Apple currently does not offer.

Apple&#8217;s struggles also extend to its flagship product, the iPhone, which hasn&#8217;t&nbsp;seen a major upgrade since&nbsp;2020. While Apple&#8217;s fundamentals remain strong and it continues to generate substantial revenue, these hurdles indicate a potential loss in its product development edge.
Apple&#8217;s difficulties in AI and AR could have significant implications for its future innovation capabilities. The company&#8217;s inability to keep pace with competitors in these emerging fields could impact its market position and profitability in the long run. 
Furthermore, the lack of major upgrades to the iPhone, its most important product, may also affect its market share and consumer loyalty. 
As such, these challenges underscore the importance of continuous innovation and adaptation in the fast-paced tech industry.

Apple's Struggles in AI and AR Indicate a Loss in Product Edge

Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban has put forth an idea that could potentially shake up the dominance of tech giants in the social media space. Cuban shared his strategy on the social news network Bluesky.
What Happened: Cuban&#8217;s proposition is straightforward: dedicate 20 minutes each day to encourage friends, family, and businesses to join Bluesky. 
The platform currently has 1.5 million daily users, significantly less than its competitor X, which boasts 18 million. Despite this, Cuban views Bluesky, a decentralized platform, as the &#8220;last, best chance&#8221; for the majority to reclaim power over social media.
Since the November election, Cuban has been actively using Bluesky, gathering a following of 869,000. 
He has lauded the platform as a &#8220;less hateful world&#8221; compared to X. At the CES event in Las Vegas, Cuban urged the audience to join him on Bluesky, criticizing X for its content and lack of effective features.
However, Cuban is not advocating for a complete shift from X, but rather the growth of Bluesky as a platform that can&#8217;t be monopolized by a few.

He asserts that there&#8217;s no downside to creating a profile on Bluesky, particularly as the platform expands and the influence of other social media platforms begins to wane.
In a <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:y5xyloyy7s4a2bwfeimj7r3b/post/3lf46sttalc2m?ref_src=embed&amp;ref_url=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.inc.com%252Fbill-murphy-jr%252Fmark-cuban-just-suggested-a-20-minute-daily-habit-to-destabilize-elon-musk-mark-zuckerberg-and-president-trump%252F91104367">post </a>in the platform, Cuban said, &#8220;Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors, relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump."
Why It Matters: Cuban&#8217;s endorsement of Bluesky comes at a time when the power dynamics of social media are under scrutiny. His strategy could potentially disrupt the status quo, challenging the dominance of tech giants in the social media landscape. 
By advocating for a decentralized platform, Cuban is promoting a more democratic approach to social media, where power is not concentrated in the hands of a few. 
This could usher in a new era of social media, where users have more control over their online experiences.

Retirement planning has become a breeding ground for fearmongering. Financial experts and news headlines often leave you convinced you'll need a dragon's hoard of gold to survive your golden years. But let's take a breath – what if you <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/42018132/can-you-guess-what-percent-of-people-have-1-million-saved-spoiler-alert-its-far-lower-than-most-statistics-lead-you-to-believe">actually have $1 million saved</a> by the time you hit 65? Are you doomed to rationing instant ramen or is that number better than they're letting on? Spoiler: You're probably better off than you think.
Here's the real breakdown of how long that $1 million could stretch – and some practical tips to make it last even longer.

</ul>
How Far Can $1 Million Take You?
The simple answer? It depends. However, using some averages, $1 million could last 18-30 years. Here's the math:
Average Annual Expenses: According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), households led by someone 65 or older spent around $60,087 per year in 2023.
Social Security to the Rescue: The average Social Security benefit as of 2024 is $1,907 per month or $22,884 per year. That means Social Security will cover about a third of your annual expenses.
Net Draw from Savings: Subtracting Social Security, your retirement fund needs to cover about $37,203 annually.
Years of Cushion: Divide $1 million by $37,203 and you've got nearly 27 years of living expenses or 26.88 to be exact.
If you control your spending and account for investment growth (hello, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/05/38618728/suze-orman-calls-the-4-retirement-rule-very-dangerous-in-todays-challenging-economic-climate">4% rule</a>), your savings could even stretch to 30+ years.

What Could Shorten (or Stretch) Your Nest Egg?
The longevity of $1 million depends on key variables:
• Where You Live: Retiring in a high-cost state like California might burn through your funds faster than a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/39616687/the-surprising-retirement-hotspots-growing-fastest-in-america-none-in-florida-but-even-hotter">budget-friendly haven</a> like Mississippi.
• Health care Costs: Healthcare expenses for a retired couple average $315,000 over retirement, according to Fidelity. That's not pocket change.
• Inflation: Even modest inflation can erode purchasing power over time. That $60,000 budget today? It might feel like $80,000 in 15 years.
• Spending Habits: Are you splurging on cruises every year or enjoying simpler pleasures like gardening and book clubs?

Strategies to Stretch $1 Million Further
1. Delay Social Security: If you <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/04/38439971/should-you-begin-collecting-social-security-at-62-67-or-70-the-right-answer-may-depend-on-your-b">wait until age 70 to claim</a>, your monthly benefit could increase by up to 32%, which is thousands more annually.
2. Retire in a Cheaper Location: Consider downsizing or relocating to a state or country with a lower cost of living.
3. Stick to the 4% Rule: This guideline suggests withdrawing 4% of your savings annually (adjusted for inflation) to make your money last 30+ years.

Do You Know How Long $1 Million Will Last If You Retire At 65? Here's A Hint – Longer Than You're Led To Think!

In a recent cybersecurity incident, customer data at one of America&#8217;s largest banks was compromised, as per a government filing.
What Happened: TD Bank, the 10th-largest bank in the US by total assets, disclosed in a <a href="https://www.mass.gov/doc/2025-110-td-bank-na/download">report </a>that a former employee had unauthorized access to and shared sensitive customer data from August to December 2022.
The breached data potentially includes names, contact information, birth dates, account numbers, and transactional data. While the exact number of affected customers remains undisclosed,&nbsp;at least eight customers in&nbsp;Massachusetts have been confirmed to be impacted.
The bank has since terminated the employee responsible for the breach and is currently conducting an investigation in conjunction with law enforcement. TD Bank&#8217;s corporate security team is also participating in the probe.

As a remedial measure, TD Bank is providing the affected customers with&nbsp;a complimentary membership to an&nbsp;online fraud prevention and detection&nbsp;service. The bank is also assisting in&nbsp;the process of closing and&nbsp;opening accounts for enhanced security.
TD Bank customers, depending on their state of residence, have the option to&nbsp;place a security freeze on&nbsp;their credit reports with the&nbsp;three major US consumer reporting&nbsp;agencies.
Why It Matters: This incident underscores the growing concern over cybersecurity in the banking sector. Insider threats, whether intentional or accidental, pose a significant risk to the security of sensitive customer data. 
Banks must continually enhance their cybersecurity measures to prevent such incidents and protect their customers&#8217; information. 
This breach at TD Bank serves as a stark reminder of the importance of robust internal controls and stringent employee access policies.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Latest On Antero Midstream</h2>
On Oct. 30, 2024, the company announced its Q3 2024 earnings, posting adjusted EPS of $0.23, in line with expectations, while the revenues of $269.87 million missed the consensus estimate of $272.175 million, as reported by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41636807/antero-midstream-q3-2024-adj-eps-0-23-inline-sales-269-870m-miss-272-175m-estimate">Benzinga</a>.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Can You Earn $100 Per Month As An Antero Midstream Investor?</h2>
If you want to make $100 per month — $1,200 annually — from Antero Midstream dividends, your investment value needs to be approximately $20,870, which is around 1,334 shares at $15.64 each.&nbsp;
Understanding the dividend yield calculations: When making an estimate, you need two key variables — the desired annual income ($1,200) and the dividend yield (5.75% in this case). So, $1,200 / 0.0575 = $20,870 to generate an income of $100 per month.
You can calculate the dividend yield by dividing the annual dividend payments by the current price of the stock.
The dividend yield can change over time. This is the outcome of fluctuating stock prices and dividend payments on a rolling basis.
See Also: Commercial real estate has historically outperformed the stock market, and<a href="https://equitymultiple.com/benzinga?invite=benzinga&amp;utm_campaign=product-promotion-earn&amp;utm_source=yahooFinance&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_content=stockmarket-yahoo"> this platform allows individuals to invest in commercial real estate with as little as $5,000 offering a 12% target yield with a bonus 1% return boost today!</a>
For instance, assume a stock that pays $2 as an annual dividend is priced at $50. Its dividend yield would be $2/$50 = 4%. If the stock price rises to $60, the dividend yield drops to 3.33% ($2/$60). A drop in stock price to $40 will have an inverse effect and increase the dividend yield to 5% ($2/$40).
In summary, income-focused investors may find Antero Midstream stock an attractive option for making a steady income of $100 per month by owning 1,334 shares of stock.&nbsp;
