Despite the escalating public feud between Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk and President Donald Trump, analyst Dan Ives remains <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45789663/tesla-stock-tumbles-nearly-3-in-pre-market-as-elon-musk-continues-intense-attack-on-trumps-big-beautiful-bill">optimistic about the EV giant's future</a> but warns the conflict could disrupt the regulatory framework.

Trump retaliated by threatening to cut Musk's government subsidies and contracts, which sent Tesla's stock plummeting by 14.26% on Thursday.
In a post on X, Musk called the president's remarks about the EV mandate "an obvious lie."&nbsp;

What Happened: The selloff coincided with an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45805173/musk-vs-trump-tesla-suffers-record-152b-one-day-crash-as-ceo-warns-tariffs-will-cause-a-recession">escalating public dispute</a> between President Donald Trump and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk that has rattled both traditional and digital asset markets. 
Tesla shares plunged 14.3% on Thursday as Trump threatened to terminate billions in government contracts and subsidies for Musk&#8217;s companies, including Tesla and SpaceX.
The feud began when Musk criticized Trump&#8217;s spending bill as a &#8220;massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional abomination&#8221; on social media. Musk departed his role as senior adviser at the Department of Government Efficiency just days before the public confrontation escalated.

Massive liquidations swept crypto markets as 226,781 traders were liquidated in the past 24 hours, totaling $979.88 million in forced position closures. The liquidation wave suggests that overleveraged positions were squeezed as volatility spiked.
The CMC Crypto Fear and Greed Index registered 46, indicating neutral sentiment, down from 55 yesterday and 61 last week when markets showed greed. 
Traditional markets showed mixed signals ahead of the May jobs report on Friday. U.S. stock futures stabilized on Thursday with S&amp;P 500 Index Futures at 5,954.25, up 0.14%, Dow Jones Industrial Average Index Futures at 42,464.00, gaining 0.22%, and Nasdaq-100 Futures at 21,581.00, down 0.0058%.

Circle, Lululemon, Palantir, Broadcom, Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

This has been a bruising week for Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk, both on the personal and professional fronts, as the public spat with President Donald Trump takes a toll on the company&#8217;s stock, alongside the billionaire entrepreneur&#8217;s personal fortune.
What Happened: On Thursday, Tesla shares dropped 14.26%, wiping out $152 billion in market capitalization, marking its biggest single-day decline. This comes as the short, tumultuous friendship between Musk and Trump comes to an abrupt end, just six short months into the new administration.
Musk&#8217;s personal fortune fell in tandem, with the Bloomberg Billionaires Index reporting a $33.9 billion decline in his net worth, to $335 billion.
However, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO still remains the richest man in the world, with Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), ranking a distant second, with a net worth of $241 billion. Yet, Musk&#8217;s fortune has been subject to volatility this past year.

The billionaire entrepreneur&#8217;s net worth, largely anchored by his 20.3% stake i<a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1318605/000110465925042659/tm252787d2_10ka.htm">n</a> the world&#8217;s largest EV maker, followed by 42% and 33% in the privately-held SpaceX and xAI Holdings, respectively, has declined by $97.9 billion, or 22.6% year-to-date, largely the result of Musk&#8217;s growing political activism.
This rout on Thursday is the result of Musk&#8217;s criticism of Trump&#8217;s &#8220;One Big, Beautiful Bill,&#8221; with a series of posts on X. One such post <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45757029/elon-musk-slams-congressional-spending-bill-as-a-disgusting-abomination">early this week</a> called it &#8220;a disgusting abomination.&#8221;

Trump has since responded to Musk&#8217;s verbal volleys, defending the GOP&#8217;s budget reconciliation bill, while saying that Musk should have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45805173/musk-vs-trump-tesla-suffers-record-152b-one-day-crash-as-ceo-warns-tariffs-will-cause-a-recession">voiced his opinions months ago</a>. 
&#8220;I don&#8217;t mind Elon turning against me, but he should have done so months ago,&#8221; Trump said. 
Why It Matters: Several prominent experts have backed Musk over his criticism of the &#8220;Big, Beautiful Bill,&#8221; echoing similar concerns. 
Leading economist and author of the Black Swan, Nassim Taleb has stated that whatever people think of Musk, they <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45795080/whatever-you-think-of-elon-musk-you-must-support-his-fight-against-the-big-beautiful-bill-says-black-swan-author-nassim-taleb">should support his stance</a> on the sweeping tax and spending bill, while stating that &#8220;The Trump budget is a lunacy, it will bankrupt America,&#8221; in a post on X.
Another economist and vocal Trump critic, Peter Schiff, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45762787/peter-schiff-backs-musks-furious-attack-on-trumps-disgusting-budget-bill-slams-gop-hypocrisy-so-glad-hopefully-elon-can-persuade-trump-to-veto-it">praised Musk&#8217;s resolve</a>, saying that &#8220;I&#8217;m so glad Elon is willing to call out the hypocrisy in the Republican party. He is a man of principle.&#8221;
Price Action: Tesla shares, as discussed above, were down 14.26% on Thursday, trading at $284.70, but are up 0.80% after hours.

Elon Musk Loses $34 Billion As Tesla Sheds $153 Billion Amid Feud With Trump—Here's How The Billionaire's Fortune Has Fared So Far In 2025

When one mother turned to Reddit to ask how to explain budget cuts to her children, she touched a nerve. Her <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/budget/comments/1l0xig9/how_to_explain_cutting_expenditures_to_kids/">post</a>, shared in r/budget, quickly drew support from parents who had been there and knew the emotional balancing act of telling kids, &#8220;We can&#8217;t afford that right now,&#8221; without sparking panic.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Framing Reality Without Fear</h2>
The original poster, a mother of two—ages 7 and 13—explained, &#8220;We need to make some big changes in our non-essential spending and get very serious about paying off credit card debt.&#8221; She emphasized the challenge of talking to her kids about the changes, particularly her 13-year-old daughter who has &#8220;a lot of anxiety and is already concerned that we're &#8216;poor.&#8217; We are not.&#8221;

Living in an affluent community makes the gap more visible. &#8220;She can <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45482749/vincent-chan-shares-tricks-people-use-to-appear-richer-than-their-friends-youre-not-behind">see the difference</a> among her friends,&#8221; the mother added, noting they have a lower household income compared to their neighbors.
Commenters shared a wealth of ideas grounded in honesty, age-appropriate financial literacy, and a focus on building security, not fear.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Be Honest, But Calm</h2>
Many commenters stressed the importance of explaining the situation without transferring stress. &#8220;Kids blow things way out of proportion and usually blame themselves for everything that goes wrong,&#8221; one person wrote. &#8220;Sitting them down and explaining things on their level is super helpful and might even alleviate some anxiety.&#8221;
Another parent shared, &#8220;We told our son that we can&#8217;t buy frivolous stuff because we have debt to pay off. It used to be hard to say no, but now he says no for us.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Turn It Into A Teachable Moment</h2>
Several Redditors recommended giving children some control in the process. &#8220;Instead of saying, we are cutting these out, tell them we have $X to spend and ask them where should it be spent?&#8221; one commenter advised. Another suggested using real money: &#8220;Breaking costs down on paper compared to our income really helped.&#8221;
Multiple people highlighted the value of free entertainment. &#8220;We have library cards now!&#8221; one commenter offered, noting many libraries offer movies, TV shows and audiobooks. Others suggested family picnics, hikes, and game nights to replace more costly outings.
One dad described how they handled the conversation with their own children: &#8220;We just let them know that while we might spend less on fun items, we were committed to ensuring they did have some fun excursions&#8230; The cost of that though, was our food choices might be limited (cutting back on extravagant items at the grocery store) and maybe we could turn that into a positive by finding recipes for snacks they can help prep in advance.&#8221;

As for the original poster, she thanked everyone in an edit, writing, &#8220;I really appreciate it, and hope this thread is also helpful to other families in the same position.&#8221;

A Mother Asks, 'How Do You Explain Cutting Back To Kids?' Her Teenage Daughter Is Already Anxious And Afraid They're 'Poor'

"The 10X Rule" author Grant Cardone has helped many people start successful businesses and build wealth with real estate. He's started several companies, but he wasn't born into wealth. Although he hasn&#8217;t been shy about showing off his wealth for several years, he is a rags-to-riches story, and he just shared a <a href="https://x.com/GrantCardone/status/1928522076320575511">big secret to building massive wealth</a>.
"Plan for 10 times greater income, profits, and net worth than you need," Cardone explained.
You can apply this advice to any area of your life, whether it's your career, finances, relationships, or another category. Here's how you can use Cardone's lesson to build wealth.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Set Higher Goals</h2>
No matter how ambitious you are, you might not be setting high enough goals. It's why Cardone advocates for 10X goals instead of 10% goals. Cardone will encourage someone who's earning $100,000 per year to figure out how they can earn $1 million per year instead of aspiring to earn $110,000 per year.
Ambitious goals offer more motivation. People work harder if the reward is justified, while a small 10% salary increase may not prompt the same level of effort and focus. Setting higher goals also ties into building a nest egg that is 10X higher than what you think you need. If you think a $2 million nest egg is enough, aim for a $20 million nest egg. That's Cardone's mentality.
Even if you don't end up with a $20 million nest egg, setting that as a target can help you exceed a $2 million nest egg. Setting ambitious goals will also make you think more carefully about how you spend your time and who you choose to spend time with.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">It's Free To Raise Your Goals</h2>
Cardone points out in his X post that you don't have to spend any money to set higher goals. You just have to change some numbers in your goal, such as your annual income or nest egg. You can also adjust how long it will take for you to achieve your goals.
Raising your goals will invite you to take more action toward your goals. This outcome is more valuable than most books or coaching calls, and you can apply it to any area of your life.
However, you should only raise goals that you can control, such as your annual income and how much you contribute to your portfolio. If you have a $1 million portfolio and want it to become a $5 million portfolio in three years, that goal can lead to high-risk investments that produce significant losses.
Instead of setting a goal like having a $1 million portfolio turn into a $5 million portfolio within a few years, focus on contributing a set amount of dollars each month. The idea is that achieving your portfolio contribution goal should help you reach your end goal, but you shouldn't chase speculative investments if you fall behind your net worth goal.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Work Harder Than The Rest</h2>
If you want to accomplish big goals, you have to work harder than the people around you. You may have to start working in the morning and stop working at night. It's even easier to embrace this lifestyle if you are a young professional who doesn't have a family yet.&nbsp;
It's important to remember that Cardone doesn't pursue money at the cost of everything else. He spends time with his family, exercises, and aims for a fulfilling life in multiple areas. Doom scrolling, putting off important goals, and spending time with the wrong people won't help you reach your long-term goals sooner.
People who work harder than the rest are usually rewarded, but not right away. It can take several months or years before all of your goals materialize.&nbsp;

What To Know: The shift became evident this week when leading discount retailers released better-than-expected earnings reports and sales growth across income levels.&nbsp;
DLTR: Dollar Tree reported a robust first quarter, with same-store net sales up 5.4%, fueled by a 2.5% increase in traffic and a 2.8% rise in average ticket size. CEO Mike Creedon said Dollar Tree's low prices are resonating with all income levels and the company saw significant growth among customers earning over $100,000 annually.&nbsp;

&#8220;History has shown that we have the resilience to emerge stronger from periods of economic uncertainty and in today&#8217;s rapidly evolving environment, we see a meaningful opportunity to further elevate the value, convenience and discovery that our customers depend on Dollar Tree to provide," Creedon said. 
DG: Dollar General<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/45775655/dollar-general-posts-convincing-q1-earning-beat-the-year-is-off-to-a-solid-start-could-mitigate-most-potential-tariff-headwinds"> posted record quarterly </a>net sales, which rose 5.3% to $10.4 billion and same-store sales were up 2.4% in the first quarter. 
CEO Todd Vasos said on the company's earnings call that the core customer remains "financially constrained," but the chain is increasingly attracting wealthier households seeking value.

Five Below also raised its fiscal earnings and revenue outlooks, indicating it sees the positive trends continuing throughout the year.&nbsp;
Why It Matters: Data from <a href="http://placer.ai">Placer.ai</a> confirms that dollar and discount stores are outperforming other retail sectors in 2025, with foot traffic up 3% year-over-year. Loyalty is also on the rise, as more shoppers visit these stores three or more times per month.&nbsp;
The trend shows inflation and economic uncertainty are pushing mainstream America to prioritize affordability and maximize their purchasing power to the benefit of dollar stores.&nbsp;

On Thursday, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45800612/trump-says-musk-has-trump-derangement-syndrome-as-battle-over-bill-heats-up-had-a-great-relationship-dont-know-if-we-will-anymore">public fallout between</a> Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk and Donald Trump escalated and sparked a wave of reactions from political leaders, including Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and other leaders, as the once-close relationship between the two men unravels.
What Happened: The rift between Musk and Trump reached a boiling point this week, following Musk's vocal criticisms of Trump's legislative agenda.
The tech mogul <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45784755/elon-musk-who-called-trumps-one-big-beautiful-bill-a-disgusting-abomination-responds-to-coinbase-ceos-warning-that-bitcoin-could-replace-dollar">publicly rejected Trump's</a> "One Big Beautiful Bill" and criticized it for exacerbating the deficit. He even suggested that it could trigger a recession.
In response, Trump said, "I don't mind Elon turning against me, but he should have done so months ago."
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/05215110/Screenshot-2025-06-06-at-7.21.05%E2%80%AFAM-1024x478.png" alt="" class="wp-image-940541" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Source: Truth Social</figcaption></figure>
Schumer took to X, formerly Twitter, and posted, "Siri, play ‘Bad Blood,'" in what appeared to be a pointed remark. In a separate post, he shared a tweet by Elon Musk, accompanied only by a popcorn emoji, signaling keen interest in the unfolding drama.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

Johnson also took to X, the social media site owned by Musk. Responding to Musk's post asking, "Where is the Mike Johnson of 2023!?"—alongside an old tweet of Johnson decrying the national debt.

In response, Johnson wrote, "The Mike Johnson of 2023 is the SAME Mike Johnson who has always been a lifelong fiscal hawk." He defended the proposed bill, stating that it includes the "largest mandatory spending cut to the federal government in history."

</figure>
Speaking <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-president-administration-news-06-05-25">to</a> CNN, Johnson called Musk's public attacks on Trump "not helpful," noting, "Elon is a friend&#8230; This isn't personal. Policy differences should not be personal."
However, after leaving the House floor, Johnson acknowledged the obvious: "It clearly is personal" between Musk and Trump.
Rep. Troy Nehls (R-Texas) called on Musk to halt his attacks on Trump, saying, "This tit-for-tat … isn't helping." While acknowledging Musk's talents, Nehls criticized his remarks as "irresponsible" and warned, "You've lost your mind," the report noted.
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), who voted against Trump's domestic policy bill, cautioned that the legislation is already "on life support" and could be jeopardized further in the Senate.
Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) suggested the clash was inevitable, adding, "At some point it falls on deaf ears… people are tired of hearing it."
Trying to defuse tensions, Rep. Warren Davidson (R-Ohio) said he's invited Trump, Musk, Speaker Johnson, Vice President JD Vance, and Massie to a private dinner to "mend fences," but declined to say who has responded, the report added.
Why It's Important: Shares of Tesla plunged 14.26% on Thursday to close at $284.70. In the after-hours trading, the shares gained 0.77%, according to data from <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>.
However, the sharp decline during the regular hours <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45805173/musk-vs-trump-tesla-suffers-record-152b-one-day-crash-as-ceo-warns-tariffs-will-cause-a-recession">wiped out $152 billion in value</a>. The EV giant currently has a market cap of $1.06 trillion, making it the ninth most valuable company in the world.
This happened after Trump took to Truth Social and suggested that a quick way to trim federal spending would be to eliminate Musk's government subsidies and contracts, totaling &#8220;Billions and Billions of Dollars,&#8221; he wrote.
"I was always surprised that Biden didn't do it," he added.

Musk's ventures, including Tesla and SpaceX, heavily rely on government support, ranging from regulatory credits in the automotive sector to lucrative space and defense contracts. A Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/06/05/trump-musk-fight/">analysis</a> estimates his companies have received at least $38 billion in public funding.

Chuck Schumer Wants Siri To Play 'Bad Blood' As Elon Musk, Donald Trump Feud Each Other — Mike Johnson Sings A Hawkish Tune

Cathie Wood's Ark Invest made a blockbuster purchase of Circle Internet Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRCL#NYSE">CRCL</a>) shares on Thursday, marking a significant move in the evolving digital assets landscape. The bold acquisition came as Ark simultaneously reshuffled its cryptocurrency stock portfolio, reducing exposure to other industry names. This strategic pivot follows Circle's high-profile NYSE debut and may underscore Ark's conviction in the future of stablecoins.
The Circle Trade

Cathie Wood Drops $373 Million On Circle's 168% Rally, Dumps Coinbase And Crypto Holdings — Is Ark Ditching Bitcoin for Stablecoins?

A recent episode of &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6398lZQHDk">The Ramsey Show</a>&#8221; took a sharp turn when a caller shared how his mother took out credit cards in his name after he and his brother bought her a home.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mom Living In A Home Her Sons Bought, Son Holding The Bag</h2>
The caller, 27, explained that after his divorce, he was emotionally vulnerable and agreed to co-sign loans so his mom could buy the home she was living in. He and his brother put the mortgage in their names because his mom had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-mortgage-lenders-for-poor-credit">poor credit</a>.
&#8220;She sucks blood off of her sons,&#8221; said Dave Ramsey after hearing the details. &#8220;She's a parasite. It's a horrible thing to say about your mother. I'm so sorry. Just an observation.&#8221;

</ul>
The caller added that his mom makes minimal income and hasn't disclosed how much she earns. Meanwhile, she continues to make minimum payments on roughly $20,000 in credit card debt, all taken out under her son&#8217;s name.
"She's paying the mortgage," the caller said, but added that he constantly worries she'll stop. "I'm just waiting for the day that I get a call that, ‘Hey, your payment's due.'"
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Selling The Home To Save The Marriage</h2>
Ramsey warned the caller that if he didn't take action quickly, this financial arrangement would result in deeper personal losses.
His advice? Sell the house. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-ways-to-pay-off-credit-card-debt">Pay off all the credit cards</a>. Then, give his mom half of whatever equity remains. &#8220;You can go set yourself up a life with that,&#8221; he suggested.
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/this-ai-imaging-technology-has-been-used-in-more-than-500-surgeries-now-you-can-be-part-of-the-ai-imaging-revolution">Be part of the next med-tech breakthrough for only $350 — 500+ surgeries already done with nView's AI system.</a>
Ramsey even gave him the script for the difficult conversation: &#8220;Mom, I love you, and I&#8217;ve done more for you than I should have, and I put myself and my future family in jeopardy because of you, and you continue to misbehave with this. My bills are not being paid, you&#8217;re destroying my credit and my future. We&#8217;re selling the house. Little brother, if you don&#8217;t want to sell it, you can buy me out.&#8221;
Ramsey also made it clear that the brother, who co-owns the home, should either buy him out or step aside. &#8220;If he doesn&#8217;t want to sell the house, then it&#8217;s going to be a civil court action and the judge is going to demand that the partnership be dissolved by the selling of the house,&#8221; Ramsey said.
&#8220;We&#8217;re selling the house. I&#8217;m not asking—we&#8217;re telling you. This is what we&#8217;re doing,&#8221; Ramsey added.
&#8220;This is saving your marriage, by the way,&#8221; Ramsey&#8217;s co-host, Jade Warshaw, said. The caller had just gotten married a month earlier, and this situation could become a major wedge. &#8220;Your wife is not going to sit around and let your mom be the reason that she&#8217;s not in her new house,&#8221; Warshaw added.
