Billionaire Joe Gebbia, co-founder of Airbnb Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABNB#NASDAQ">ABNB</a>), has purchased over 4000 Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) stocks.
What Happened: Gebbia, who is a member of the company's board of directors, purchased 4000 shares at $256.308, as revealed by an SEC filing on Monday.
Gebbia has been on Tesla's board as an independent director since 2022. He also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44265658/billionaire-airbnb-founder-works-with-elon-musk-at-doge">joined Elon Musk's DOGE</a>, or Department of Government Efficiency, to work on the government's paper-based retirement process.
Why It Matters: The news comes in as Tesla is gearing up for its robotaxi launch in June, which Musk shared at the Q1 earnings call, could feature<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44943387/elon-musk-shares-fsd-update-at-tesla-earnings-call-10-to-20-model-ys-will-offer-paid-robotaxi-rides-in-june"> 10 to 20 Model Ys</a> deployed on the first day of operations.
The billionaire also reiterated at the earnings call that he would scale back on his DOGE duties to focus on Tesla, which led to analysts like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44945402/wedbushs-dan-ives-raises-teslas-price-target-to-350-as-musk-promises-to-significantly-reduce-doge-time">Dan Ives setting high price targets</a> on Tesla Stock, as well as the stock itself surging in value.
However, Tesla has been grappling with its fair share of problems, including <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44857987/tesla-experiences-151-decline-in-new-vehicle-registrations-in-california-report">declining sales figures </a>in the U.S. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44975755/tesla-sales-decline-28-in-europe-as-ev-car-market-experiences-growth-report">as well as Europe</a>, and a 71% YoY profit plunge for Q1 2025, which showcases what was a difficult quarter for the EV giant. Tesla owners in the U.S. are also battling declining used car values as well as rising insurance premiums amid bouts of vandalism.

Jimmy Donaldson, popularly known as MrBeast, has waded into a bizarre online debate over the weekend involving a hypothetical fight between 100 men and one gorilla.
What Happened: On Monday, the 26-year-old YouTube megastar took to Elon Musk's X, formerly Twitter, and posted a photoshopped image of himself with gorillas, joking, "Need 100 men to test this, any volunteers?"
The animal rights group PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) quickly rebuked him, responding: "100 men vs. a gorilla? Maybe try 100 reasons to leave animals out of your content instead…"

According to Forbes, Donaldson brought in approximately $85 million in 2024 from content creation and brand deals alone.
He has stated in interviews that his total revenue across all ventures falls between $600 million and $700 million annually, with the majority funneled back into producing content, scaling operations, and expanding his team.

In a bid to navigate the impending U.S. tariffs, South Africa and several other countries have been reportedly seeking advice from Goldman Sachs since late February.
What Happened: South African officials have been consulting with Goldman Sachs to devise strategies to mitigate the impact of the looming tariffs and appease President Donald Trump. The country was reportedly advised by Goldman that everything comes down to Trump's feelings. 
The bank recommended that South Africa consider revising certain laws, including one requiring Black ownership in some companies and another permitting the government to seize land from landowners to address racial disparities, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/goldman-sachs-offers-advice-on-tariffs-to-countries-scrambling-to-please-trump-a138835f">reported </a>The Wall Street Journal.
Goldman Sachs did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment. 
Despite the advice from Goldman Sachs, a spokesperson for President Cyril Ramaphosa stated that the recommendations &#8220;would&nbsp;not have found favor with&nbsp;the government,&#8221; which is committed to addressing the imbalances of apartheid.
Goldman Sachs&#8217; advice is not limited to South Africa, as it has also been advising other nations, including France, Saudi Arabia, and Japan,&nbsp;on negotiating with the Trump&nbsp;administration. The Japanese government was reportedly reluctant to alter its tax policies solely to satisfy the administration. Countries are seeking advice from Wall Street banks on handling Trump's global trade war, with bankers warning that negotiations may involve unrelated political or symbolic concessions.
However, White House spokesperson Kush Desai stated that trading partners keen on negotiating a deal with Trump must &#8220;reduce the tariff and non-monetary barriers&#8221; causing the U.S. trade deficit, adding that any outside advice to the contrary is &#8220;pure speculation.&#8221;

Why It Matters: The move by South Africa and other countries comes in the backdrop of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45038824/treasury-secretary-scott-bessent-says-its-up-to-china-to-de-escalate-trade-tensions-india-to-be-the-first-trade-deal-to-be-signed">escalating </a>trade tensions globally. On Monday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called on China to de-escalate trade tensions, pointing out China's higher export rate to the U.S. as a key factor contributing to the current tariff imbalance.
Furthermore, Goldman Sachs had predicted that the U.S. tariffs on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45033064/16-million-chinese-jobs-under-threat-amid-escalating-us-china-trade-war-predicts-goldman-sachs">Chinese imports</a> could put up to 16 million jobs in China at risk, particularly in the manufacturing sector, highlighting a gravity of the situation. This global context underscores the significance of the U.S. trading partners&#8217; consultations with Goldman Sachs and other Wall Street bankers as the countries seeks to protect its own economic interests.

Mark Zuckerberg says that the cost-value equation for colleges is cracking as degrees keep getting pricier, yet the jobs they promise are no longer guaranteed.
What Happened: Speaking on comedian Theo Von's &#8216;This Past Weekend&#8217; podcast, the Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) founder, who famously quit Harvard, warned that ballooning tuition and $1.77 trillion in U.S. student-loan <a href="https://educationdata.org/student-loan-debt-statistics">debt</a> are steering the system toward "a reckoning."
Average published tuition at public four-year schools climbed to $11,610 for in-state students in 2024, with private nonprofits topping $43,000, College Board data <a href="https://research.collegeboard.org/trends/college-pricing/highlights">shows</a>.​ "You graduate when you're in debt … and you're starting off in this big hole," Zuckerberg told Von, adding that many majors fail to deliver clear job pathways.

"There&#8217;s going to have to be a reckoning," Zuckerberg warns. "People are going to have to kind of figure out whether that makes sense."

Federal figures put total student-loan liabilities at roughly $87 billion in new borrowing each year, and 28 percent of undergraduates now take out loans. With monthly payments resuming after a three-year pause, delinquencies are rising.
Questioning college was once off-limits, Zuckerberg said, but attitudes are shifting as Gen Z weighs boot camps, certificates, and direct-to-work tech jobs.​ &#8220;It&#8217;s sort of been this taboo thing to say, like, maybe not everyone needs to go to college&#8230; I think people are probably coming around to that opinion a little more now than maybe like ten years ago," says Zuckerberg.
Why It Matters: Zuckerberg isn't the first to question the necessity of college degrees in 2025. Elon Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/04/38319479/elon-musk-thinks-college-is-basically-for-fun-and-to-prove-that-you-can-do-your-chores-says-degr">actively dismisses</a> the need for formal credentials, too. Although Musk earned degrees from the University of Pennsylvania, he walked away from a Stanford Ph.D. program after just two days.
Peter Thiel, the billionaire PayPal co-founder and early Facebook investor, challenges higher education even more directly. The Stanford graduate with philosophy and law degrees believes <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/12/42366606/peter-thiel-is-a-stanford-grad-but-thinks-college-is-such-a-waste-that-he-offers-100000-to-students-who-quit-compares-education-to-santa">college is so overrated</a> that he offers students $100,000 to drop out.

BP Outlook Q2: Expects Flat Upstream Production, Higher Customer Volumes, And Increased Refinery Turnarounds With Margins Sensitive To Economic And Supply Cost Pressures

President Donald Trump will provide some relief to U.S. manufacturers by reportedly easing some duties imposed on foreign parts in domestically manufactured vehicles.
What Happened: Anonymous officials from the White House <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/autos/trump-tariffs-autos-exceptions-fc634efd?mod=autos_news_article_pos1">told</a> the Wall Street Journal on Monday that car manufacturers paying the tariffs wouldn't be charged on materials like aluminum and steel, and tariffs already paid on these materials would be reimbursed to the manufacturers.
"This deal is a major victory for the President&#8217;s trade policy by rewarding companies who manufacture domestically, while providing runway to manufacturers who have expressed their commitment to invest in America and expand their domestic manufacturing," U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said in a White House statement.
Officials from the Trump administration shared that the move could be implemented on Tuesday, the report added. The president is also expected to visit Michigan — home to General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) — to mark 100 days in office.
Why It Matters: The Trump administration's decision to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44798727/auto-stocks-rise-on-trumps-comments-about-supporting-us-car-companies-whats-going-on">provide some exemptions </a>in the tariffs on the auto sector had been teased by the President recently, as he had said that automakers "need a little time" to adjust to the new tariff environment and that Trump was "looking for something to help" the automakers.
Michigan-based auto groups had previously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44729157/michigan-auto-groups-criticize-trump-for-not-halting-auto-tariffs">criticized the Trump administration</a> for the auto tariffs, saying that the move would cast uncertainty over the employees and the supply chain. &#8220;Michigan&#8217;s signature industry and the supply chains and employees that sustain it will continue to endure the uncertainty and disruption of these fluctuating trade policies,&#8221; the groups said in their statement.
The auto industry in the U.S. currently faces uncertainty over the supply chain, which has been described as ‘complex' by companies, as the tariffs would cost the domestic auto sector <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44756759/new-research-shows-donald-trumps-25-tariffs-could-cost-auto-companies-108billion-report">over $108 billion</a>, according to some experts.
However, the move could provide a boost to the sector, especially Detroit-based automakers General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) and Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), as recently, ratings agency S&amp;P shared that the companies were at risk of receiving <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44806252/trump-tariffs-could-put-ford-gm-at-high-risk-of-negative-ratings-report">a negative rating </a>in light of the 25% tariffs.
Price action: GM currently trades for $47.24 on the NYSE, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
