Small businesses across America are feeling the squeeze—and Mark Cuban is making sure it doesn't go unnoticed.
In an April 11 <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/mcuban.bsky.social/post/3lmk2bxeve22h">post on BlueSky</a>, the billionaire sharply criticized President Donald Trump's administration, saying, "Not a single word to help the 33 million small businesses in this country."&nbsp;
As new tariffs on Chinese imports surge to historic levels, small business owners are scrambling to survive a one-two punch of skyrocketing costs and a financing crunch.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tariffs Slam Small Businesses Across America</h2>
Since early April, Trump's administration has imposed sweeping new tariffs, including a 145% levy on Chinese goods and a blanket 10% on other imports, citing national security and economic competitiveness.
However, these measures have brought severe fallout for small businesses reliant on Chinese suppliers. In an episode of the &#8220;<a href="https://podscripts.co/podcasts/prof-g-markets/why-trump-will-back-down-on-china-tariffs-ft-ryan-petersen">Prof G Markets</a>&#8221; podcast, Flexport CEO Ryan Petersen warned that as many as 80% of small businesses importing from China could face bankruptcy if the tariffs remain in place.
Port traffic is also taking a hit. The Port of Los Angeles expects container arrivals to drop by nearly a third year-over-year.&nbsp;
Gary Cohn, a former director of the National Economic Council during Trump&#8217;s first term and now IBM's vice chair, <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/gary-cohn-ibm-face-the-nation-transcript-04-27-2025/">told CBS</a> that the effects of the tariffs would begin to manifest in the U.S. economy by late May, due to the typical eight-week supply chain cycle.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Credit Crunch Compounds The Crisis</h2>
The timing couldn't be worse for small businesses already battling limited access to financing. According to <a href="https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/small-business/small-business-loan-rates-fees">NerdWallet</a>, interest rates for business loans remain stubbornly high—ranging from 6.54% to 11.7% at traditional banks—with online loan rates reaching up to a jaw-dropping 99% APR.
Cuban emphasized that many businesses lacked the cash flow to stockpile inventory before tariffs took effect, leaving them no choice but to absorb higher costs on their next orders. His concerns were echoed in an April article from<a href="https://www.russellgrain.com/news/story/32068069/not-a-single-word-to-help-the-33-million-small-businesses-mark-cuban-s-concerns-about-impact-of-tariffs"> Bar Chart</a>, highlighting how businesses are now trapped between soaring expenses and shrinking margins.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Silence From Washington Raises Tensions</h2>
The political side of Cuban's message is ringing louder by the day. His critical response targets the lack of action from federal officials. So far, there have been no announcements about relief programs, trade credits, or assistance packages for the 33 million small businesses impacted.

Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) has also <a href="https://www.markey.senate.gov/news/press-releases/ranking-member-markey-calls-on-trump-administration-to-exempt-us-small-businesses-from-tariffs">called attention</a> to the crisis, demanding complete tariff exemptions for all small businesses, calling current measures an "existential threat" to American entrepreneurship.
While major corporations often secure carve-outs or subsidies during trade negotiations, small businesses remain vulnerable, facing mounting pressures without a safety net.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ripple Effects Could Shake the U.S. Economy</h2>
The domino effect from this crisis could reshape the broader economy. According to the <a href="https://advocacy.sba.gov/2024/11/19/new-advocacy-report-shows-small-business-total-reaches-34-8-million-accounting-for-2-6-million-net-new-jobs-in-latest-year-of-data/">Small Business Administration</a>, small businesses account for almost half of America's private workforce and the majority of total U.S. businesses. Their contraction threatens to reduce consumer spending, increase layoffs, and <a href="https://www.uschamber.com/small-business/small-business-data-center">diminish tax revenues</a> nationwide.

For low-income households, the hit could reach $1,700.

Mark Cuban Slams Trump's Silence On Small Businesses, Says 'Not A Single Word To Help The 33 Million Small Businesses In This Country'

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) shares climbed 4.4% to $288.44 on Thursday, buoyed by broader market momentum following a landmark <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45294428/wall-street-rallies-after-us-seals-first-trade-deal-you-better-go-out-and-buy-stock-trump-says">U.S.-U.K. trade deal</a> that sparked investor optimism.
The S&amp;P 500 surged 1.3% while the Russell 2000 jumped 2.3%, as easing trade tensions and President Donald Trump's hints at sweeping tax cuts lifted sentiment across risk assets.
What To Know: Despite Thursday&#8217;s rally, Tesla has faced mixed headlines throughout the week. The EV maker <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45281224/tesla-ditches-16000-cybertruck-range-extender-as-sales-dwindle-in-the-us">canceled</a> its Cybertruck range extender—an optional $16,000 battery pack that would have boosted range to over 500 miles—amid sluggish Cybertruck sales.

Reports suggest over 10,000 units remain unsold. In response, Tesla recently launched a cheaper rear-wheel-drive variant and offered select buyers a free trial of its Full Self-Driving software to reignite interest.
Further complicating matters, the U.S. Patent Office rejected Tesla's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45278182/elon-musks-cybercab-ambitions-face-latest-snag-teslas-robotaxi-trademark-filing-refused-by-authorities">trademark application</a> for the term "Robotaxi," citing it as "merely descriptive." This comes as Tesla gears up to launch its ride-hailing service in Austin next month.
Meanwhile, looming political uncertainty threatens the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45277309/house-gop-representatives-want-to-axe-federal-ev-credit-amid-trumps-tax-cuts-report">federal EV tax credit program</a>, which Tesla heavily benefits from.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy TSLA Stock<a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/whats-going-tesla-stock-today-184513658.html"></a></h2>
<a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/whats-going-tesla-stock-today-184513658.html"></a>Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Tesla&#8217;s case, it is in the Consumer Discretionary sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, TSLA has a 52-week high of $488.54 and a 52-week low of $157.40.

Müll.Club, a startup redefining <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/03/44359892/sustainable-style-how-ai-is-reducing-waste-in-the-fashion-world">plastic waste</a> through high-design homeware, is gaining momentum with a £250,000 ($310,000) funding target as it prepares to scale production from its coastal studio in Margate, U.K.
The brand, which caught the eye of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40477338/chatgpt-maker-openai-forges-content-partnership-with-vogue-and-new-yorker-publisher-cond-nast-amid-c">Vogue</a> and has collaborated with iconic names like Fortnum &amp; Mason and Lush, is turning recycled plastic into coasters, combs, and soap dishes that now retail in museum shops and luxury retailers alike, according to<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/01/plastic-recycling-this-startup-makes-designer-objects-from-trash.html"> CNBC</a>.

Founded by former sustainability consultant and fine art graduate Charlie Rudkin-Wilson, Müll.Club aims to reimagine the entire lifecycle of plastic. Launched during the coronavirus pandemic, the company started as a refill store in London, before pivoting to product design,&nbsp; CNBC reported. Now, Müll.Club is one of the few circular economy startups combining functionality, aesthetics, and data-driven sustainability.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Müll.Club Reimagines Plastic Waste as Functional Art</h2>
Müll.Club collects post-consumer plastic from the public, such as pink Vanish tubs, yellow Nesquik pots, and yogurt containers, and melts them into new forms with a signature marbled finish. The brand's best-selling item, a £16 soap dish called "The Greek," is made from porridge and yogurt pots. A pair of "Take Out" coasters, molded from discarded cutlery and translucent containers, retails for £14, CNBC said.
Every product is tracked through an online platform that shows contributors how much waste they've saved from landfills, and how much carbon emissions were prevented, CNBC reported. According to its<a href="https://mull-club.co.uk/"> website</a>, Müll.Club has recycled over 2,000 pounds of plastic to date and operates with a zero-waste ethos. The brand's process involves sorting, cleaning, and melting consumer plastic waste to create marbled, durable goods that are both functional and visually distinct.

According to the<a href="https://www.unep.org/news-and-stories/story/everything-you-need-know-about-plastic-pollution"> UN Environment Programme</a>, 85% of global plastic packaging ends up in landfills or as pollution. In the U.K., only 17% of plastic is effectively recycled domestically, while the rest is exported or incinerated, as noted on the startup&#8217;s <a href="https://mull-club.co.uk/pages/about">website</a>. Müll.Club is challenging this model with transparency and traceable local impact.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Backing From Icons: Lush, Fortnum &amp; Mason, And Vogue</h2>
The company's sustainability-forward aesthetic has earned praise and high-profile partnerships. According to CNBC, Fortnum &amp; Mason provided signature turquoise packaging offcuts that Müll.Club transformed into coasters and trays.
In a project with cosmetics giant Lush, Müll.Club recycled over 71 pounds of the brand's waste into 2,000 black hair combs, designed and distributed in collaboration. Rudkin-Wilson also appeared on "Dragon's Den," the British version of "Shark Tank," which brought national exposure and piqued interest from a luxury car manufacturer currently exploring collaboration, CNBC reported.&nbsp;
British Vogue labeled Müll.Club part of the "revolution of stylish sustainability" in an Instagram<a href="https://www.instagram.com/mull.club/p/DAVExidIMDu/"> post</a>, marking a cultural moment for eco-conscious design.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Scaling For Circular Impact</h2>
Rudkin-Wilson is currently seeking £250,000 to fund the company's next phase of growth. Plans include a move to a larger production studio in Margate, new equipment for bulk processing, and the development of larger furniture pieces made from recycled plastics. This expansion would allow Müll.Club to process higher volumes of waste and expand its footprint in both consumer and corporate channels, as CNBC reported.
As more brands seek verifiable sustainability initiatives, Müll.Club stands out as a clean, data-backed solution. The company's platform provides quantitative feedback on recycling contributions, making it attractive for businesses looking to offset or redesign their waste output.

Vertex's $15M Investment Elevates Kintsugi To $150M Valuation–The Startup Aims To Simplify Tax Compliance For SMBs Worldwide

When a loved one passes away, navigating their financial legacy can be both emotional and complicated. That's exactly the situation one listener named Irene faced when she wrote to personal finance expert Suze Orman on the "<a href="https://omny.fm/shows/suze-ormans-women-and-money/ask-kt-suze-anything-how-do-i-settle-a-deceased-parent-s-credit-card-debt">Women &amp; Money</a>" podcast.
Irene's 60-year-old sister had passed away, leaving behind a $281,000 traditional 401(k). Irene, 62, and her 64-year-old sister were listed as the beneficiaries. However, they also have two other siblings, ages 59 and 64, and want to share the inheritance with them as well.&nbsp;
The big question: what's the best way to do that — especially considering the tax implications?

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Inheriting a Traditional 401(k)</h2>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/45111417/more-than-70-of-americans-concerned-about-a-recession-this-year-heres-how-suze-orman-says-to-prepare">Orman</a> explained that since the account is a traditional 401(k) and not a Roth, taxes have never been paid on that money. That means the beneficiaries will owe ordinary income tax on any withdrawals they make.
The account will need to be transferred into what's known as an inherited IRA for each listed beneficiary. Under current <a href="https://www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/plan-participant-employee/retirement-topics-beneficiary">IRS rules</a>, non-spouse beneficiaries like Irene and her sister must fully withdraw the funds within 10 years of the original account holder's death. If they wait too long and withdraw it all at once at the end of 10 years, they could be hit with a much larger tax bill.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Spreading Withdrawals Over Time</h2>
Orman recommends spreading the withdrawals over the 10-year period to manage taxes more efficiently. If the account is split evenly between Irene and her sister, each would receive about $140,500. Orman suggests each sister takes out roughly $14,000 to $20,000 per year, depending on each person's income tax situation.
"So at the end of the 10th year, it&#8217;s wiped clean," Orman said. "When you take out the money, you are going to owe ordinary income tax on it."
Trending: The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"> How do you compare</a>?
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Gifting a Portion to Other Siblings</h2>
So, how can Irene and her sister share the inheritance with their two other siblings who weren't listed as beneficiaries?
Orman said they can choose to gift money to their siblings from their withdrawals — after paying the taxes themselves. "You would subtract whatever amount of income tax you paid, figure out how much that would have been on the amount you want to give them, and then just give them the money. It&#8217;s just that easy," Orman explained.
That means if Irene withdraws $15,000 and pays, for example, $3,000 in taxes, she could give one of her siblings up to $12,000 from that amount. There's no need to go through the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44289468/inherited-ira-from-husband-grows-from-240k-to-266k-in-10-years-suze-orman-says-thats-horrific">inherited IRA</a> directly, and the siblings receiving the gift won't owe taxes on it if it's under the annual gift tax exclusion, which is $19,000 in 2025.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Planning Ahead Can Make Things Easier</h2>
While this plan allows Irene and her sister to honor their family's wishes, Orman used the moment to make a broader point: estate planning matters. She noted that if the sister had used a Roth 401(k) or <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44885154/suze-orman-why-you-should-transfer-your-401k-or-403b-into-a-roth-ira-when-you-leave-a-job">Roth IRA</a>, it could have simplified things by eliminating the tax burden altogether.
Still, with some smart planning and open communication, Irene and her siblings can share the inheritance in a fair and tax-efficient way.

'Our Sister Left Us Her $281,000 401(k)' — We Want To Share It Fairly With The Rest Of the Family, Suze Orman Weighs In

<ul>
<li>401(k) funding changes for 2025 now allow investors of a certain age to contribute $11,250 in catch-up funds</li>
<li>This super-funding opportunity is available to investors ages 60-63</li>
<li>The changes are good news for Gen X'ers in particular, as only 54% believe they are financially prepared for retirement</li>
</ul>
The IRS has introduced some <a href="https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/401k-limit-increases-to-23500-for-2025-ira-limit-remains-7000">401(k) funding changes</a> for 2025 that allow older investors to contribute additional funds to their plans.
According to a survey by <a href="https://news.northwesternmutual.com/2025-04-14-Americans-Believe-They-Will-Need-1-26-Million-to-Retire-Comfortably-According-to-Northwestern-Mutual-2025-Planning-Progress-Study">Northwestern Mutual</a>, Americans need $1.26 million to retire comfortably. Among Gen X'ers, who are approaching their retirement years, only 54% believe that they will be financially prepared for retirement when the time comes.&nbsp;

<li>Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl"> this is your last chance to become an investor for $0.80 per share.</a></li>
</ul>
Tommy Lucas, a certified financial planner and enrolled agent at Moisand Fitzgerald Tamayo, told <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/17/higher-401k-limit-2025-update-your-account-now.html">CNBC</a> these new changes are a "super-funding" opportunity for older investors, offering them an opportunity to catch up.
What exactly the changes are, and who qualifies for them, hasn't been entirely clear. Catherine Valega, a CFP and founder of Green Bee Advisory, told CNBC, that it will take time for people to become aware of the new opportunities, and that at this point "no one knows about the extra increase."
So here's a more precise breakdown of the "super-funding" opportunities and who qualifies for them.&nbsp;
In 2025, the IRS has set 401(k) contribution limits to $23,500 for investors of all ages, up $500 from 2024.&nbsp;
Older contributors, ages 50 and up, can contribute an additional $7,500 in "catch-up contributions" to their 401(k). This totals out to $31,000 for the year, a cap that remains unchanged since 2024.
Trending: Many are using retirement income calculators to check if they&#8217;re on pace —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"> here&#8217;s a breakdown on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</a>
But for contributors who are 61, 62, or 63, a change under the Secure 2.0 Act of 2022 has increased the catch-up contributions from $7,500 to $11,250. This means that the total cap for investors in their early 60s sits at $34,750 for 2025.&nbsp;
It's important to note that the age eligibility is determined by how old you'll be by Dec. 31. So if you're 59 at the start of 2025 and will turn 60 before year-end, you're eligible for the increased catch-up contributions. However, if you're currently 63, turning 64 by the end of December, you are not eligible.
Dan Galli, a CFP and owner of Daniel J. Galli &amp; Associates, told CNBC that the higher 401(k) catch-up rates are "a great tool in the toolbox." However, they're not ones that many people are using. According to data from <a href="https://institutional.vanguard.com/content/dam/inst/iig-transformation/insights/pdf/2024/has/how_america_saves_report_2024.pdf">Vanguard's "How America Saves" report</a>, only 15% of eligible employees utilized these catch-up options in 2023.&nbsp;
Fidelity told the outlet that 3% of retirement plans haven't added the feature for 2025, meaning catch-up contributions will stop at $7,500. So it's important that you speak to a financial advisor if you plan to take advantage of the change to ensure you're able to make the most of it.&nbsp;
