After enduring months of scrutiny over Tesla Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) falling stock price, Elon Musk has fired back <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44451467/tim-walz-backtracks-on-tesla-stock-jab-i-was-making-a-joke-after-kevin-olearys-criticism">at a political critic</a> with a jab of his own.
What Happened: On Friday, Tesla shares closed at $349.98, marking a 44.89% surge over the past month and pushing its market cap to $1.12 trillion.
Musk celebrated the rebound on X, formerly Twitter, posting a screenshot of Tesla's chart along with a pointed message to Governor Tim Walz (D-Minn.): "Yo Timmy, how's your day bro?"

The quip was a response to Walz's March 18 comment during a Wisconsin event, where he joked, "On the iPhone, they&#8217;ve got that little stock app. I added Tesla to it to give me a little boost during the day — $225 and dropping."
The audience laughed, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44549724/elon-musk-blasts-minnesota-governor-tim-walz-as-a-creep-over-tesla-stock-mockery-says-its-evil-to-celebrate-others-losses">but Musk didn't</a>. At the time, Musk called Walz a "huge j&#x2A;&#x2A;k" and "a creep," criticizing the governor for mocking investors and a U.S. company.
Walz also responded to the backlash, saying, "I was making a joke. These people have no sense of humor."
Why It's Important: Walz, who ran alongside former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential race, has been a vocal critic of both Musk and the Donald Trump administration.
Musk emerged as a key figure in Trump's White House during the first 100 days, spearheading major federal budget cuts and layoffs that galvanized Republican support but also sparked public protests, some of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44963440/tesla-takedown-says-protests-are-working-hitting-ev-company-where-it-hurts-the-companys-bottom-line">which were directed at Tesla</a>.

Earlier, the Wall Street Journal reported that Tesla&#8217;s board had contacted executive search firms to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45124373/tesla-board-explored-replacing-elon-musk-as-tesla-ceo-a-month-ago-report">find a replacement for Musk</a>. However, Tesla denied the claim, calling it false and reaffirming its confidence in Musk's leadership.
Price Action: Tesla shares rose 2.09% during Friday's regular session to close at $349.98, before dipping 2.81% after hours to $340.15. Over the past 12 months, the stock has surged 100.17%, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

As Tesla Stock Witnesses Nearly 45% Surge In One Month, Elon Musk Asks Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, 'How's Your Day Bro?'

President Donald Trump has offered to travel to China to meet with President Xi Jinping.
What Happened: In an interview with Fox News aired on Friday, Trump was asked if he wanted to speak with Xi on a foreign trip. In response, he said, "I would certainly," adding that the relationship between the two countries is "important," <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-05-16/trump-says-he-s-willing-to-travel-to-china-for-xi-meeting">reported</a> Bloomberg.
Earlier this week, the President had also hinted that the two leaders could speak by phone following a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45367206/sp-500-rallies-over-3-on-us-china-90-day-tariff-truce-but-experts-warn-it-doesnt-guarantee-a-complete-resolution-of-the-trade-war">90-day trade truce agreement</a>, which slashed U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods from 145% to 30%. China has also lowered its own duties on American imports to 10%.

Why It&#8217;s Important: Despite his latest outreach attempt, Trump made it clear that his trip to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE was aimed at <a href="http://benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45476624/us-china-trade-truce-trumps-middle-east-deals-spark-wall-street-rally-this-week-in-markets">preventing those nations</a> from aligning with Beijing, the report noted.
"They were going to China, and that was going to be their parent, and that's not happening," Trump said, adding, "They're very important to keep in our fold."
During his trip to the Middle East, Trump was able to secure around <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45476624/us-china-trade-truce-trumps-middle-east-deals-spark-wall-street-rally-this-week-in-markets">$2 trillion in trade and investment</a> commitments.
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) ended the week up 2.16%, while semiconductor stocks continued their upward momentum, with the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) climbing 3.06% in the last five days, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Donald Trump Offers To Visit Xi Jinping In Beijing, Calls US–China Ties 'Important' After Striking Temporary Trade Truce

Paying off debt and investing money are two strategies you can use to build wealth. While it makes sense to pay off high-interest debt right away, most people don't rush to pay off low-interest debt like mortgages.
One individual has been <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/MiddleClassFinance/comments/1khrky8/pay_off_my_car_loan_early_or_just_keep_cruising/">making regular auto loan payments</a> and has a $13,500 balance. This person is comfortable with the monthly payments but recently received a $6,000 windfall. On one hand, that extra money can cut the auto loan balance by almost half. However, those funds can also go into the stock market and earn a higher return.
"I'm genuinely torn," the individual admitted to the Middle Class Finance subreddit.
Fellow Redditors offered their suggestions on how to proceed with the situation.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Build An Emergency Fund</h2>
One commenter suggested building an emergency fund with the $6,000 if the original poster doesn't already have one. The advantage of an emergency fund is that you won't have to take out another loan if a surprise expense shows up.
The auto loan currently has a 6.8% APR, so its interest will accumulate faster than the emergency savings account. However, it can be more expensive to take out a personal loan if you need it in the future.&nbsp;
The commenter suggested that the original poster only needs a six-month emergency fund. If that condition has already been satisfied, it makes more sense to put the money toward the auto loan.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Factor In Taxes</h2>
Although moving the money into a high-yield savings account can give you a financial buffer during emergencies, not every commenter was on board with the idea.
"Considering it's 6.8%, 100% pay it off early," one commenter suggested.
However, when it comes to choosing between extra loan payments and a high-yield savings account, you have to consider the tax implications. As one commenter explains, a 4% APY on a high-yield savings account isn't as high as it sounds.
"You'll also be paying taxes on that 4% interest while the interest on your loan continues to accumulate at a higher rate," the commenter explained.
The Redditor will save more money if they pay off the loan than store the money in a high-yield savings account. If the Redditor has other ways to handle emergency expenses, paying the auto loan may be the better route.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Freedom Of No Monthly Payment</h2>
One commenter explained that they were in a similar situation and opted to pay off their auto loan with the windfall they received from a class action settlement. This commenter explained that the freedom from not having to worry about monthly payments anymore was worth it.
The original poster also mentioned freedom as a key factor. Paying off half of the loan will result in less interest and lower monthly payments.&nbsp;
While putting the money into a high-yield savings account can help in the event of an emergency, paying off the loan is a better approach. You can also invest the money in the stock market and potentially get a return that's higher than 6.8%. However, the stock market isn't a sure thing, while chipping away at the auto loan results in guaranteed savings.

A Redditor Asks If They Should Pay Off Half Their Auto Loan Or Invest The Money Instead: 'I'm Genuinely Torn'

When you hire a financial advisor, you're <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">handing over more than just money</a>. You're handing over trust, peace of mind—and the assumption that someone with a professional title won't tank your portfolio during a dip. But what happens when the person you pay to manage risk ends up locking in losses that wipe out last year's gains?
That's the question one investor raised on Bogleheads.org, a popular online forum where personal finance enthusiasts—many of them DIY investors—gather to dissect strategy, question fees, and lean into the gospel of low-cost, long-term investing. Think of it as a home base for index fund purists and fee hawks.

</ul>
In a <a href="https://www.bogleheads.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=452987">post under the site's Personal Investments section</a>, one user shared his dilemma: He's about 10 years from retirement, makes a strong income, and doesn't need to touch his retirement savings anytime soon. A few years ago, he hired a Registered Investment Advisor to manage about two-thirds of his savings, while he continued managing the other third himself.
The RIA had him in a 77% equity allocation that earned a solid 12% in 2024. So far, so good. But by early April, the advisor began emailing that if markets didn't correct, they'd sell out of everything and move to cash. And that's exactly what happened. Just days later, nearly all positions were liquidated and dumped into the Schwab Government Money Fund (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNVXX#NASDAQ">SNVXX</a>).&nbsp;
The investor logged into his portal and saw a negativer 3.6% return for the past 12 months. In less than 2.5 years, his net gain was now a slim 1.6%. "Meanwhile," he noted, with the one-third of his portfolio he manages solo, he was doing the opposite— <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45337654/now-what-investor-with-100k-in-voo-wonders-whats-next-after-constantly-hearing-the-first-hurdle-is-the-hardest">buying Vanguard's S&amp;P 500 ETF</a> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOO#NYSE">VOO</a>)&nbsp; at $540, $500, and $475 as the market slid. On the very day the advisor sold him out of equities, he was buying more.
Trending: 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-scaling-fast-from-spacex-orders-to-600-homes-built-this-60k-foldable-home-may-be-the-future-of-housing">this is your last chance to become an investor for $0.80 per share.</a>
He left readers with one simple question: "Based on these limited facts, who would you fire—him or me?"
The responses rolled in. One user didn't hold back: "I'd fire both—you and him." The criticism? Neither appeared to have an Investment Policy Statement, the document that usually outlines long-term strategy and helps avoid reactive decisions like market timing.
Another forum regular said it more bluntly: "The investor's biggest enemy is…the investor himself." Others piled on similar thoughts—calling out the lack of a unified strategy, the mixed messages of splitting management, and the advisor's sudden pivot to cash without a phone call.
Some highlighted red flags from the advisor side: the bold move to cash, the reliance on emails for major trades, and the potential tax consequences of exiting positions during a downturn. "It boggles me that an RIA would make big, bold moves like this," one commenter wrote. Another questioned whether this kind of decision was being made across other actively managed portfolios that week.
But not everyone thought the situation was disastrous. One user framed it as a potential turning point: "You made some mistakes. That's okay. It's not a huge hit to your portfolio. Learn from it." Others pointed out that the RIA gave notice—so why not step in and say no?

Still, the general tone was clear: when you're paying an advisor, it's reasonable to expect discipline, not reaction. And when your self-managed portfolio outperforms the professional one, it's fair to start asking questions.
So, what should investors take away from this?
While this isn't financial advice, it does raise a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45256709/approaching-retirement-suze-ormans-2025-plan-for-safe-high-earning-cash">few universal considerations</a>:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Have a plan—and write it down. An Investment Policy Statement helps remove emotion from investing. It should spell out risk tolerance, allocation, and when (if ever) to pivot.</li>
<li>Communication matters. If your advisor is selling everything and moving to cash via email, and you're surprised by it—you might have a bigger problem than market timing.</li>
<li>Split strategies can backfire. Letting an advisor manage part of your money while you run the rest can lead to conflict, confusion, and inconsistent outcomes.</li>
<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44610661/why-timing-the-market-is-a-terrible-idea">Market timing rarely wins</a>. Whether it's a dip or a full-blown correction, pulling out at the wrong time often means missing the rebound.</li>
<li>Fees still count. One poster estimated that, based on assets under management, the advisor might be taking around 1%—or $30,000 annually. If you're losing trust, that number looms larger. </li>
</ul>
At the end of the day, the real question might not be "Who should I fire?"—but "What's the long-term plan here?" Because whether you're investing in index funds, private startups, or your own side hustle, one thing's clear: guessing the market rarely beats a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset">steady hand and a solid plan</a>.

He Made 12% Last Year—Now His Advisor Moved Everything Into SNVXX And He's Down 3.6%: Is It Time To Fire The Guy Who Just Locked In His Losses?

If you're banking on Earth being around forever, Elon Musk has some grim news: we're living on borrowed time—and the sun has the final say.
In a recent interview on Fox News' "Jesse Watters Primetime," Musk gave his cosmic forecast. "Eventually, all life on Earth will be destroyed by the sun," he said. "The sun is gradually expanding, so we do at some point need to be a multi-planet civilization because Earth will be incinerated."

And according to Musk, the clock is already ticking. He claims that if Earth has been around for 4.5 billion years, "then Earth only has about 10% more life in it before it gets so hot that life is impossible."
But Musk isn't just doomsaying—he's pitching a plan. Colonizing Mars, he argues, is humanity's best shot at survival. "Mars is life insurance for life collectively," he told Watters. "We have a long way to go. It's not just about landing on Mars and fancy equipment. It's about creating a self-sustaining city on Mars."
He explains that if a Mars colony can't operate without constant supplies from Earth, then it's not real "life insurance." For it to safeguard humanity's future, it has to be fully self-sustaining in case Earth is no longer there to support it.

While the idea of Earth being torched by the sun might sound like a sci-fi plot twist, the science backs it up—sort of. Astrophysicists widely agree that the sun is on a slow but <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamiecartereurope/2021/01/22/in-photos-this-is-what-we-will-look-like-in-55-billion-years-when-the-sun-is-dying/">steady march toward destruction</a>. As it ages, it burns hotter and brighter. In roughly 500 million years, that increased heat is expected to strip away Earth's atmosphere and boil the oceans, rendering the planet uninhabitable. In about 5 billion years, the sun will expand into a red giant—very likely swallowing Earth whole, <a href="http://space.com/">according to Space.com</a>.&nbsp;
So yes, the threat is real—but also very, very far away. Musk's point? That's exactly why we need to act now. Waiting until humanity is gasping under a swollen sun would be, well, bad planning.
With <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/03/44104443/spacex-starships-first-launch-from-florida-slated-for-late-2025-company-plans-new-gigabay-manufacturing-facilities-in-state">SpaceX developing its Starship rockets</a> and long-term visions of Martian cities, Musk has poured billions into this idea. He's said before that Earth is a "<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/23/elon-musk-aiming-for-mars-so-humanity-is-not-a-single-planet-species.html">single-planet civilization</a>" living at risk of extinction from anything—from nuclear war to rogue asteroids—and that humanity's long-term survival depends on its ability to become multi-planetary.

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>
Now, he's putting the sun itself on that threat list.
It's a dramatic pitch, sure—but coming from the guy <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44438881/id-like-to-die-on-mars-just-not-on-impact-elon-musk-says-nothing-is-more-exciting-than-space-travel-but-you-might-not-come-back-alive">building rockets to Mars</a>, it's not just talk. Whether it's hundreds of millions of years or a cosmic fluke tomorrow, Musk's message is simple: Earth won't last forever, and if we want to keep life alive, we'd better start packing.

Here's How Much $1000 Invested In Wells Fargo 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

If it feels harder to build wealth these days, you're not imagining it—and the late Charlie Munger agreed.
In a <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/11/30/full-transcript-from-cnbcs-charlie-munger-a-life-of-wit-and-wisdom-.html">2023 CNBC interview with Becky Quick</a>, Munger—who was 99 at the time—was asked a simple but loaded question:
"So you think it's harder to make money now?"
Munger didn't hesitate. "Well, that's a very interesting question. And it's a very important question. And of course it's harder. It's so much harder you can't believe it."

<li>Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-intel">Invest before it's too late.</a></li>
</ul>
For someone who spent nearly a century analyzing markets, that blunt answer was striking. And it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43270288/its-almost-been-too-easy-charlie-munger-predicted-tough-times-ahead-for-investors-with-everything-doing-poorly-and-taxes-going-up">wasn't just a complaint—it was a history lesson</a>.
Munger explained that the investing playbook that made Warren Buffett rich, taught by legendary investor Ben Graham, doesn't work like it used to. Graham's strategy—buying undervalued companies with strong asset backing—was revolutionary during the Great Depression. He wasn't chasing unicorn startups or IPO hype. He just found "a few good things" and stuck with them for a few years.
"He just floated around from the best available stuff among companies good and bad. That was his system," Munger recalled. "Well, after he became so famous, partly with the help of Warren Buffett… everybody tried to do the same thing."
And that's the problem. The moment everyone flooded the market trying to be the next Ben Graham, the opportunities dried up. "The low-hanging fruit that Ben Graham had a lot of… has gone away," Munger said.

It's not just the investing world that's more competitive—every part of the wealth-building journey feels heavier now. Sure, Buffett has famously said that even today's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42558080/warren-buffett-says-the-poorest-2-of-earners-live-better-than-john-d-rockefeller-richest-man-in-the-world-people-have-more-money-now">bottom 2% are richer than Rockefeller</a> in many ways. And Munger himself has urged people <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42416245/charlie-munger-found-it-weird-how-life-was-pretty-brutal-and-short-but-now-things-are-600-better-and-yet-people-are-less-happy">not to complain too much about modern life</a>. But that doesn't mean people feel rich. Not with inflation hammering everyday costs, home prices surging, and savings rates lagging behind asset inflation.
Yes, technology has opened doors. But it's also raised the bar. Everyone has access to information, apps, and trading tools. But that access <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43718032/warren-buffett-was-asked-how-a-regular-person-gets-rich-he-detailed-exactly-how-hed-make-30-billion-starting-over-with-only-10000">hasn't made it easier to get rich</a>—it's just made the race more crowded.
What Munger was saying—in his signature blunt manner—is that the easy wins are gone. If you want to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">build wealth today</a>, you'll need more than just hustle. You'll need patience, strategy, and a willingness to climb higher for what used to be waiting on the ground.

Before Mark Cuban became a billionaire, a TV fixture, and a guy who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44839817/billionaire-mark-cuban-says-pharma-is-the-easiest-business-ive-ever-disrupted-in-a-500-billion-industry-1-is-a-whole-lot-of-money">casually disrupts Big Pharma</a> for fun, he was just another confident tech founder trying to make it in the ‘80s. He had a million-dollar company, a little swagger, and—at least for one night in Las Vegas—a front-row seat to what happens when <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45332405/bill-gates-predicts-3-day-workweeks-says-its-probably-ok-if-machines-can-make-the-food-and-stuff-because-theres-more-to-life-than-work">Bill Gates walks into a bar</a>.
It all came up <a href="https://youtu.be/L_8wm30tLyc?si=KP1btYratigTdZB8">during a 2022 episode of the "Full Send Podcast"</a>, after the hosts asked Cuban about competition and missed opportunities. That's when he lit up with:
"I'll tell you a story. I'll tell you a story about in Vegas back in the day about Bill Gates."
Don't Miss:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>‘Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">You can invest today for just $0.30/share with a $1000 minimum.</a></li>
<li>Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-intel">Invest before it's too late.</a></li>
</ul>
This wasn't just any Vegas story—it was COMDEX, one of the biggest tech trade shows in the world at the time. According to Cuban, the crowd was massive. "125,000 people," he said. "I started my company, I was like 26, 27… and I just thought I was a badass."
He was feeling good, hanging with a group of women, ordering shots, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43190697/mark-cubans-black-amex-card-got-declined-buying-a-140000-bottle-of-champagne-to-celebrate-teams-nba-win-can-i-please-spend-some-money">assuming the night was going his way</a>.
"This was right when <a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/shows/history/history-of-microsoft-1986">Microsoft had gone public</a>," he said. "So one day, no one knows who Bill Gates is. The next day, he's the king of tech."
That's when the girls told him they needed to run to the bathroom—and never returned.
"I'm like, what the f&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A;?" Cuban said, still laughing about it decades later.
His buddy leaned over and broke the news: "Yo, do you know who Bill Gates is?"
Trending: The team behind $6B+ in licensing deals is now building the next billion-dollar IP empire — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/elf-labs-ym?v=123">invest early at $2.25/share.</a>
Turns out Gates had just hit a net worth of around $350 million. Cuban? "I was maybe worth a million dollars." Which made him… invisible.
"Bill Gates took my girls!" he admitted, laughing. But the sting was real.
The host cut in: "Did that fire you up? That should've motivated you, right?"
"It did motivate me," Cuban shot back. "Right? To find—to go on to the next…"
Years later, Cuban finally got a chance to one-up the tech legend. After selling Broadcast.com, he was invited to speak at a conference. The organizers mentioned Gates would be speaking first.
"I'm like, the only reason I'm doing this is because Bill Gates is talking right before me," he said.

So when it was his turn, he walked out on stage and delivered the zinger he'd probably been waiting years to say:
"I'm excited to tell you I sold my company… and finally, after all these years, Bill Gates is my opening act."
Cuban says Gates "got so pissed." And the kicker?
"I've never talked to him since," Cuban said. "Not to this day."
Not out of spite. "Not that I've had any reason to talk to him," he added. But that night in Vegas? Still a core memory.
He may have lost the girls, but Cuban got the punchline. And maybe a little satisfaction knowing that even tech royalty doesn't always get the last word.
