Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has raised alarms after Elon Musk's xAI secured a major Pentagon contract just days after its chatbot, Grok, made antisemitic and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46347324/musk-says-grok-coming-to-teslas-by-next-week-evs-getting-the-smartest-ai-in-the-world">pro-Hitler remarks online</a>.
What Happened: On Monday, the U.S. Department of Defense announced that Musk's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46335602/elon-musk-s-xai-launches-grok-4-with-phd-level-ai-debuts-in-300-month-supergrok-tier">artificial intelligence startup</a> xAI—alongside OpenAI, Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google and Anthropic—was awarded contracts worth up to $200 million each to help scale AI capabilities across national security applications, reported Reuters.
The contracts aim to support agentic AI development, a move backed by the Pentagon's Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office.
Shortly after the announcement, Warren took to X, formerly Twitter, slamming the decision. "This is the same Grok that was ‘manipulated' into praising Hitler last week," she wrote. "What could possibly go wrong when integrating this AI into our national security?"

xAI has publicly apologized for Grok's behavior. The company admitted that a code update made the chatbot vulnerable to offensive prompts on the platform.

Grok had issued several problematic statements, including calling itself "MechaHitler" and suggesting Adolf Hitler would "have crushed it."

Why It's Important: The rollout came as xAI reportedly works with Morgan Stanley to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/bonds/25/06/45853241/elon-musks-xai-seeks-5-billion-via-morgan-stanley-amid-trump-rift-and-2022-twitter-debt-hangover-report">secure $5 billion in funding</a>, all while Musk faces friction with Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) board members who are concerned about his split focus and ongoing political involvement.
Over the weekend, Musk also said he wants <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46386582/elon-musk-wants-tesla-to-invest-in-xai-but-its-up-to-shareholders-this-analyst-says-grok-is-worth-the-bet">Tesla to invest in xAI</a>, but emphasized that the decision will be made by shareholders through a vote, not by him alone.
Following xAI's announcement of Grok 4, Musk responded to Tesla influencer Sawyer Merritt, confirming that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46347324/musk-says-grok-coming-to-teslas-by-next-week-evs-getting-the-smartest-ai-in-the-world">Grok would be coming to Tesla vehicles</a> very soon, possibly within this week.

What Happened: Bitcoin fell to an intraday low of $118,959.20, a marked reversal from its early morning highs. Trading volume soared 256% to a whopping $180 billion, indicating heavy profit-taking.
According to CryptoQuant, <a href="https://cryptoquant.com/asset/btc/chart/miner-flows/miner-reserve?miner=all_miner&amp;window=DAY&amp;sma=0&amp;ema=0&amp;priceScale=log&amp;metricScale=linear&amp;chartStyle=line">miner reserves</a> have fallen steeply over the past few days.
Ethereum also reversed course, falling below $3,000, even as trading activity remained high.
The two blue-chip currencies are off to a flying start in the third quarter, with Bitcoin up 11.68% and Ethereum up more than 20% so far.
Over $800 million was liquidated from the market in the last 24 hours, with short position traders bearing the brunt of the rally. That said, about $595 million in longs risked liquidation if Bitcoin reversed to $117,000.
Bitcoin's open interest rose 2.40% to $87.43 billion, marking a new record high. "Greed" sentiment persisted in the market, according to the Crypto Fear &amp; Greed Index.

Edward, another cryptocurrency market researcher, drew a parallel to Bitcoin&#8217;s 2024 breakout, where a similar weekly surge preceded a 50% rally.
"This time, $135,000–$140,000 isn't hopium. It's one clean breakout away," the analyst said.
That said, Edward flagged $115,500–116,500 as a potential retest zone.

Palantir, The Trade Desk, Tilray, Sonnet Biotherapeutics, And Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has proposed a bill aimed at restructuring American elections to exclude non-citizens, emphasizing national security and fair representation.
What Happened: On Monday, Greene posted on X about her proposed legislation, the &#8220;Making American Election Great Again Act,&#8217; which mandates a new census counting only U.S. citizens, instructs states to redraw congressional districts based on this count, and requires proof of citizenship for voting in federal elections. 
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">American elections belong to the American people, not illegal aliens. My bill: &#x2705; Orders a new census that counts U.S. citizens only &#x2705; Directs states to redraw congressional districts based on that count &#x2705; Requires proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections This is… <a href="https://t.co/F2SxkQfnLZ">pic.twitter.com/F2SxkQfnLZ</a>
&mdash; Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene&#x1f1fa;&#x1f1f8; (@RepMTG) <a href="https://twitter.com/RepMTG/status/1944895892877647906?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 14, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
In a video she shared in her post, Greene asserted that House and district lines are created &#8220;based off the population&#8221; counted in the census. She said the same applies to the Electoral College votes.
&#8220;Now that we&#8217;ve had decades and especially the past four years of our country basically being invaded with tens of millions of people from all over the world. Americans don&#8217;t feel like they&#8217;re represented in Washington.&#8221;
The Georgia representative said that district lines would be drawn based on the count of U.S. citizens, according to the proposed legislation.
Greene said due to her bill states like California will lose &#8220;electoral college votes&#8221; and House seats. She said the same would happen to states like New York and other &#8220;sanctuary states.&#8221;
Why It Matters: Earlier in the month, it was <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/rep-mtg-introduce-bill-requiring-proof-citizenship-vote-new-census-only-counts-citizens">reported</a> by Fox News that Taylor&#8217;s legislation is still being drafted.
Greene&#8217;s stance on immigration and its impact on the American economy has been a recurring theme in her political career. In a speech at the Republican National Convention in 2024, she criticized the Washington establishment for selling out the American people. &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/07/39806263/marjorie-taylor-greene-uses-rnc-to-weigh-in-on-immigration-debate-the-democrats-economy-is-of-by">They promised unity and delivered division. They promised peace and brought war</a>,&#8221; she said.
Why It Matters: The proposed bill aligns with a broader debate about voting rights and election security in the U.S. Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, has previously expressed concern about the lack of photo ID requirements for voting in most U.S. states, stating that it makes fraud impossible to detect. &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38137245/this-is-crazy-elon-musk-reacts-to-a-post-that-says-majority-of-us-states-dont-require-photo-id-to-vo">This is crazy</a>,&#8221; Musk posted in response to a post arguing against the absence of voter ID laws.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Backs Move To Create New Census That Only Counts US Citizens, Calls For 'Proof Of Citizenship' In Elections — 'Americans Don't Feel Like They're Represented'

It took years of persistence, a full face of alien prosthetics, and a single line of dialogue, but Amazon.com, Inc. founder Jeff Bezos finally made it into the "Star Trek" universe — exactly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/04/20675447/5-things-you-might-not-know-about-jeff-bezos">the way he wanted</a>.
What Happened: In a 2020 fireside chat in Mumbai with actor Shah Rukh Khan and filmmaker Zoya Akhtar, the Amazon founder revealed how his eight-second cameo in the 2016 film Star Trek Beyond came to life.
Bezos, a lifelong Star Trek fan, said he had one mission: land a speaking role that couldn't be cut. "I got that role by literally begging," Bezos admitted.
The billionaire recalled that he approached Paramount Global repeatedly over the years, asking to be part of a Star Trek film. Each time, the studio turned him down. He didn't give up — and he had conditions.

He was totally fine being unrecognizable in makeup, but the part had to include a speaking line and be part of a pivotal scene so that they couldn't cut him from the final version of the movie.
Eventually, director Justin Lin gave him the green light.
At the 13-minute mark of Star Trek Beyond, Bezos appears in full alien makeup, created by Oscar-winning makeup artist Joel Harlow.
He plays a Starfleet officer on the Yorktown starbase who places a universal translator on a rescued alien and tells her, "Speak normally." Then he exits the frame.
"We did the scene 20 times," Bezos recalled, saying he was nervous he'd flub his one line. "It was terrifying&#8230; but it all worked out."

Why It's Important: Bezos currently has a net worth of $256 billion, making him rank fourth on Bloomberg's Billionaire <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/">Index</a>.
Apart from Bezos, several other high-profile CEOs have made memorable cameos on the big and small screens. Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has turned up in multiple pop culture hits, including <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/10/41557224/robert-downey-jr-on-elon-musk-cosplaying-tony-stark-wishes-billionaire-would-control-his-be">appearing as himself</a> in "Iron Man 2" and "The Big Bang Theory."
Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft Corporation, once appeared on "Frasier," playing himself during a radio interview segment.
Google co-founder Sergey Brin made a blink-and-you-miss-it cameo as himself in "The Internship." Dallas Mavericks owner and entrepreneur Mark Cuban has also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/22/05/27306646/9-business-moguls-with-cameos-in-movies">popped up as himself</a> in hit shows like "Billions" and "Entourage."
Even investment icon Warren Buffett has joined in, portraying a job applicant on "The Office" and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/10/35132929/if-you-invested-1-000-in-berkshire-hathaway-stock-when-warren-buffett-appeared-in-the-entou">showing up as himself</a> in "Entourage" and "All My Children."
Bezos, meanwhile, has made two appearances in Hollywood — not only in Star Trek Beyond as an unrecognizable alien officer, but also years earlier as a security guard in &#8220;The Tooth Fairy.&#8221;

Jeff Bezos Is In A Star Trek Movie And He's Completely Unrecognizable — Amazon Founder Says He Made His Acting Debut By 'Literally Begging'

Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang is reportedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46336670/nvidia-prepares-china-specific-ai-chip-amid-us-export-curbs-as-ceo-jensen-huang-plans-beijing-visit-next-week-to-reassure-market-report">set to attend</a> the opening ceremony of China's international supply chain expo in Beijing on Wednesday. 
What Happened: The event is organized by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, which confirmed Huang&#8217;s attendance, according to Chinese state broadcaster CCTV, reported Reuters on Tuesday.&nbsp;
On Sunday, Nvidia officials also said Huang will hold a media briefing the same day.
Huang is also reportedly expected to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46336670/nvidia-prepares-china-specific-ai-chip-amid-us-export-curbs-as-ceo-jensen-huang-plans-beijing-visit-next-week-to-reassure-market-report">meet with senior Chinese officials</a>, including Premier Li Qiang and Vice Premier He Lifeng, during the International Supply Chain Expo in Beijing, though final approval of the meetings is still pending.

Why It's Important: Huang's presence at the expo comes as Nvidia navigates heightened U.S.-China trade tensions and increased export restrictions on advanced AI chips.
Over the weekend, Huang said in a CNN interview that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46397545/nvidias-jensen-huang-china-doesnt-need-us-chips">Chinese military isn't using</a> Nvidia's chips, noting that China can't rely on U.S. technology for its military since access could be cut off at any time.
Previously, it was also reported that Nvidia was planning to launch a scaled-down version of its Blackwell RTX Pro 6000 AI chip in China that complies with U.S. export controls.
The new chip, which drops advanced features like high-bandwidth memory and NVLink, is designed specifically for the Chinese market and could be unveiled as soon as September.
Price Action: Nvidia shares slipped 0.12% in after-hours trading, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
Benzinga&#8217;s Edge Stock Rankings show that Nvidia maintains strong upward momentum across short, medium and long-term trends. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound'">You can find more detailed performance insights here</a>.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang To Attend China Supply Chain Expo In Beijing On Wednesday, Says State TV

Carbon removal buyer coalition Frontier has committed $41 million to climate tech startup Arbor Energy to scale a rocket-inspired biomass power plant that captures 99% of its carbon emissions. Frontier <a href="https://frontierclimate.com/writing/arbor">announced</a> last week that the deal will support Arbor's first commercial facility in southern Louisiana and aims to remove 116,000 tons of carbon dioxide by 2030.
Frontier is backed by Stripe, Alphabet (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>, GOOGL)), Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), and Shopify (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NYSE">SHOP</a>).

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Rocket Engineer's Climate Fix</h2>
Founded by former SpaceX engineer Brad Hartwig, Arbor developed a biomass power system that burns waste organic material to generate electricity, while capturing and sequestering nearly all resulting carbon emissions.&nbsp;
Hartwig <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2023/12/01/arbor-energy-bicrs-startup/">previously</a> described the plant as a "vegetarian rocket engine" due to its use of rocket-style turbomachinery and its carbon-free fuel source.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How It Works</h2>
According to TechCrunch, Arbor's process uses a proprietary gasifier to convert waste biomass into syngas—a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide—using supercritical CO2 from the plant itself. The syngas is then combusted with pure oxygen to produce water vapor, heat, and CO2.
The resulting high-temperature gases power a turbomachine to generate electricity. Most of the CO2 is captured and routed for permanent storage underground. A portion is cycled back to dissolve additional biomass in the gasifier.

The first plant will produce 5–10 megawatts of electricity, TechCrunch reported.&nbsp;
Frontier said the system can capture up to 99% of emitted CO2, far outperforming traditional carbon capture methods.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sustainable Biomass Use: A Key Priority</h2>
Frontier's head of deployment, Hannah Bebbington, emphasized that not all biomass is suitable for carbon removal. "We want to be careful that we're taking that into consideration," she told TechCrunch. "We require that every ton delivered also meets sustainable biomass principles in a very clear way."
Bebbington said that the biomass supply may range from one to five gigatons annually, but only a portion would meet sustainability criteria. Even if only one gigaton of biomass meets sustainability standards, she said, technologies like biomass carbon removal and storage, or BiCRS, and its close cousin, bioenergy with carbon capture and storage, or BECCS, have significant long-term potential.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Looking Ahead</h2>
"We would like BECCS to be a major player for data centers, industrial electrification, grid resilience," Hartwig <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/07/08/frontier-is-helping-arbor-build-a-vegetarian-rocket-engine-to-power-data-centers/">told</a> TechCrunch. "But if any new fossil assets are built, we'd like those to all be zero emission as well."
The new deal builds on an <a href="https://frontierclimate.com/writing/fall-2022-purchases">earlier</a> pre-purchase agreement between Frontier and Arbor. Hartwig said the system is designed to be fuel flexible and could theoretically burn any source of hydrocarbons, including natural gas.&nbsp;
However, under the terms of the Frontier agreement, the plant will only burn biomass to meet carbon removal goals, TechCrunch reported.

Billionaire Elon Musk bought Twitter for<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/04/31810229/elon-musk-bought-twitter-1-year-ago-a-look-back-at-whats-happened-since-and-what-could-be-next"> $44 billion in 2022</a> and, along with changing the name of the social media platform to X, has made an increased focus on monetization for top posts and creators on the platform.

X user @frozenaesthetic known as Moon Dragon found that out recently with a post made on April 1 that has now been seen over one billion times on the social media platform.
"On April 1st I put up a tweet then moved on from it, then it got retweeted 3 months later and now Elon Musk knows I exist," the user recently posted.
The <a href="https://x.com/frozenaesthetic/status/1907089552600093079">post </a>made by the user was: "share a piece of lore about yourself."
At the time of writing, the post has over 9,800 comments, 186,000 retweets and 114,000 likes.
X has not always shown the number of views on posts, but this may be the first to register the one billion milestone since that information became public.
"When I got hired at X in 2023 one of my first projects was to update the logic for number rounding on this app and I haven't seen billions in use until this post," X engineer Jonah Katz <a href="https://x.com/dinkin_flickaa/status/1944542448878834019">posted</a>.

Deepfakes are realistic digital versions of people created with artificial intelligence. They can make it look like someone said or did something they never did. With AI tools getting more powerful and accessible, it's easier than ever to make convincing fake images, videos or audio.
According to The Guardian, the law would give Danes the right to ask platforms to take down any deepfake content made or posted without their consent. It would also protect artists from having their performances digitally copied without permission. Those affected could be entitled to compensation.
Parodies and satire would still be allowed, but anything that digitally imitates someone without consent for more serious or harmful use would no longer be legal.
"Human beings can be run through the digital copy machine and be misused for all sorts of purposes, and I'm not willing to accept that," Engel-Schmidt told The Guardian.

The minister also warned tech companies that if they don't follow the new law, they could face &#8220;severe fines.&#8221; If necessary, Denmark may escalate enforcement to the European Commission.
Engel-Schmidt said he hopes other European countries follow Denmark&#8217;s example. Now that Denmark has taken over the EU presidency, he plans to push this idea further across the continent.

While Denmark pushes for legal protections, the U.S. has taken a more <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41564331/the-u-s-government-keeps-warning-about-deepfakes-yet-the-pentagon-wants-to-flood-social-media-with-a">contradictory path</a>. U.S. officials have repeatedly warned that deepfakes threaten national security, democracy and trust in public institutions. Just last year, three U.S. agencies issued a joint <a href="https://media.defense.gov/2023/Sep/12/2003298925/-1/-1/0/CSI-DEEPFAKE-THREATS.PDF">statement</a> calling deepfakes a "top risk."

<a href="https://theintercept.com/2024/10/17/pentagon-ai-deepfake-internet-users/">The Intercept</a> reported last year that the Pentagon, through its Joint Special Operations Command, has been actively developing its own deepfake technology. According to internal <a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/25224425-jsoc-stylegan-personas/">documents</a>, the U.S. military is creating AI-generated personas that can operate on social media, share posts, and even record lifelike selfie videos.
These fake profiles are designed to be indistinguishable from real people, complete with "government identification quality" photos and elaborate backstories. The goal, allegedly, is to use these avatars to blend into online spaces and influence opinion, the same type of manipulation the U.S. condemns when used by adversaries like China, Russia and Iran.
