Tesla China Sales Plunge Over 75% In First Week Of July Despite Strong Q2 Deliveries

Donald Trump's much-touted plan to sell $5 million "gold card" visas to the ultra-wealthy may never leave the runway, immigration lawyers and policy analysts say.
What Happened: The proposal would create a brand-new residency class for investors willing to wire in billions, but experts note a president cannot invent a visa on his own, according to a <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/07/07/trump-gold-card-visa-immigration/">report</a> by The Washington Post. Only Congress can add categories to the Immigration and Nationality Act.
Since February, Trump has waved a laminated prototype at reporters, promised an "immediate rollout," and opened a TrumpCard.gov wait list that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says has attracted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/25/06/45967070/howard-lutnick-says-nearly-70000-register-for-5-million-trump-card-visa-as-us-eyes-1-trillion-windfall-from-premium-immigration-plan">nearly 70,000 names</a>. The White House claims the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44237846/trump-proposes-special-a-gold-card-for-wealthy-immigrants-that-costs-5-million-says-selling-enough-could-wipe-out-americas-national-debt">fees could wipe out</a> the $1.3 trillion annual deficit and, eventually, the entire national debt.
But no bill has surfaced on Capitol Hill, and Republican leaders who are already skeptical of expanded immigration paths show "zero appetite" for the idea, said Alex Nowrasteh of the Cato Institute.

Why It Matters: Supreme Court precedent gives Congress "plenary power" over visas, former DHS counsel George Fishman noted. "I'm very dubious it can be done without an act of Congress."
Critics also warn of lawsuits from would-be EB-5 investors, who now wait years after putting in at least $800,000. Former USCIS adviser Doug Rand said opponents will almost certainly challenge any fast-lane plan for newcomers and almost certainly defeat it.
Billionaire Trump donor John Paulson originally proposed the concept as a debt reduction mechanism for America's $36 trillion burden. The program represents a significant shift in targeting high-net-worth individuals. Billionaire Mark Cuban previously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44070799/mark-cuban-supports-trumps-new-gold-card-scheme-if-sold-to-corporations-for-employee-citizenship-have-a-look-at-the-listed-companies-with-most-number-of-immigrants">supported the concept</a> provided corporations buy cards for high-earning employees, while Elon <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44519944/elons-building-me-the-software-right-now-commerce-secretary-howard-lutnick-says-he-sold-1k-trump-cards-for-5m-each-in-one-day">Musk was involved</a> in developing the application software.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis says Elon Musk should drop his plan for a new "America Party" and instead use his money and clout to force fiscal reforms inside the GOP.
What Happened: "I think Washington needs to be overhauled 100%, but I just don't think a third party is going to do it," DeSantis <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/07/07/trump-musk-feud-desantis-advice-00441519">told</a> reporters after an education event on Monday, according to Politico.
DeSantis, who launched his own 2024 presidential bid in a glitch-filled event with Musk, warned that a third-party candidate would likely result in the Democrats winning all the competitive Senate and House races. &#8220;I'm a Republican. I don't want to see that happen," he said.
He urged Musk to fund state drives for a balanced-budget amendment and congressional term limits, saying the billionaire could have a "monumental impact" by persuading at least 34 legislatures to convene a constitutional convention.

Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46265725/elon-musk-announces-formation-of-america-party-emerges-in-wake-of-donald-trumps-historic-spending-bill">unveiled the America Party</a> over the weekend after breaking with President Donald Trump over the mammoth "One Big Beautiful Bill," a tax-and-spending package the Tesla chief calls wasteful. He argues the bill will deepen the deficit and has vowed to bankroll primary challenges against Republicans who backed it.
Why It Matters: DeSantis has neither praised nor condemned the megabill, despite some GOP governors lobbying for its passage. Earlier, he objected to the proposed moratorium on state AI regulations, and negotiators removed it from the final text.
Still, he echoed Musk's complaint that many Republicans "run saying there's out-of-control spending … and they never do it." The governor's counsel comes amid his own fragile reconciliation with Trump after last year's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36710200/trump-drops-desanctimonious-nickname-for-ron-desantis-after-florida-governor-exits-2024-presidential">bruising primary feud</a>.
While analysts believe that the Musk-Trump rift and Musk's new party could split the right, DeSantis says structural fixes will rein in Washington. "You have to change the incentives and structures up there. It's within our grasp to do it," he says.

Ron DeSantis Warns Elon Musk The 'America Party' Could Hand Congress To Democrats: 'Don't Want To See That Happen'

On Monday, Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) co-founder Joe Lonsdale urged a tech-driven transformation of the Food and Drug Administration, warning that bureaucratic inertia is putting the U.S. behind <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/03/44107297/china-based-biotech-beigene-scores-fda-approval-for-tevimbra-chemo-combo-for-untreated-patients-with-esophageal-cancer">China in the biotech race</a>.
What Happened: In a blog post, Lonsdale said the FDA's current systems are "sluggish" and outdated, slowing drug approvals and hampering innovation.
To counter this, he announced that the Abundance Institute, in partnership with Stand Together, is raising $4 million to embed 15–20 AI-native engineers, data scientists and product leaders inside the FDA under the Intergovernmental Personnel Act.
"These leaders will remain Abundance employees," Lonsdale said, "but&#8230; wire modern data pipes into legacy silos and automate the mind-numbing paperwork that turns months into years."

He compared the effort to special forces units in the military, saying innovation in the defense world happens because nimble, elite special forces teams try key new technology long before adoption by larger forces takes place.
Lonsdale warned the U.S. risks losing global biotech leadership to China, which "is plowing ahead with CRISPR gene therapies and advanced cell therapies," due to fewer regulatory constraints.
"If we let that gap widen," he said, "we will wake up one morning and discover that most of our children's drugs are made in, and controlled by, China."
"Let's boldly push through narrower AI wins that save lives, then expand upon those wins," he concluded, adding, "Let's make the FDA great again."

Why It's Important: Last month, the U.S. FDA launched the Commissioner&#8217;s National Priority Voucher (CNPV) program to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/fda/25/06/45982666/fda-introduces-tumor-board-style-reviews-for-faster-drug-decisions">help drug developers</a> fast-track new treatments that align with U.S. national priorities.
The voucher lets companies cut FDA review times from the usual 10–12 months to just 1–2 months by using a new team-based, "tumor board-style" review process with multidisciplinary experts.
The program allows for possible accelerated approval if the product meets requirements.
During the same month, the FDA said it is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/fda/25/06/46101643/did-the-fda-make-a-mistake-sareptas-elevidys-approval-under-scrutiny">investigating reports</a> of fatal acute liver failure linked to Sarepta Therapeutics' (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SRPT#NASDAQ">SRPT</a>) gene therapy Elevidys, used to treat Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy in non-ambulatory boys.

Palantir Co-Founder Joe Lonsdale Wants A FDA Overhaul With Special Forces-Style AI Team Because China Is Racing To Outpace US In Biotech

A donor to the Trump-Vance Inaugural Committee was reportedly defrauded of $250,300 in cryptocurrency. The FBI has recovered $40,300 of the stolen amount, which is now involved in a civil forfeiture case.
What Happened:&nbsp;The victim received an email on Christmas Eve 2024, which appeared to be from Steve Witkoff, co-chair of the Trump-Vance Inaugural Committee. Believing it to be legitimate, the victim transferred 250,300 USDT.ETH—a dollar-pegged stablecoin on the Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) blockchain—to a cryptocurrency wallet controlled by a scammer later traced to Nigeria.
The funds were reportedly laundered within just two hours through multiple wallets, complicating recovery efforts. However, despite the intricate nature of the blockchain transactions, the FBI&#8217;s Washington Field Office managed to trace and recover $40,300 of the stolen cryptocurrency using advanced blockchain analysis.
U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro&#8216;s office has filed a civil forfeiture complaint seeking to recover the remaining $210,000. The filing underscores the critical need to verify recipient information before initiating transfers—particularly as cryptocurrency plays a growing role in political fundraising and charitable donations.

Why It Matters:&nbsp;The incident highlights the changing strategies of cybercriminals and the critical need for caution when managing digital assets. This comes in the wake of the U.S. Department of Justice filing&nbsp;a civil forfeiture complaint to&nbsp;claim over $225 million in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/46002825/us-seizes-225-million-in-cryptocurrency-tied-to-global-investment-fraud-network">cryptocurrency&nbsp;allegedly</a> connected to international investment fraud schemes. This marked the largest crypto seizure to date involving so-called &#8220;confidence scams.&#8221;
Additionally, crypto hacks and exploits have surged to record levels in the first half of 2025, with total losses exceeding $2.1 billion across at least 75 incidents, according to blockchain intelligence firm TRM Labs. The largest single event was the $1.5 billion hack of Dubai-based crypto exchange Bybit in February, which TRM Labs attributes <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/46140769/north-korean-hackers-top-crypto-exploits-list-but-another-state-may-surprise-you">to North Korea</a>. This highlights the increasing need for vigilance and security in the cryptocurrency space.

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed a decline in the overall market sentiment, while the index remained in the &#8220;Extreme Greed&#8221; zone on Monday.
U.S. stocks settled lower on Monday, with the Dow Jones index falling more than 400 points during the session after President Donald Trump officially announced sweeping 25% tariffs on all imports from Japan and South Korea, starting Aug. 1. The new tariffs apply to all goods from the two Asian economies and are in addition to any existing sector-specific duties.
Cogent Biosciences Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COGT#NASDAQ">COGT</a>) announced topline results from Part 2 of the SUMMIT trial of bezuclastinib for non-advanced systemic mastocytosis, showing clinically meaningful and statistically significant improvements across the primary and all key secondary endpoints. Core Scientific Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CORZ#NASDAQ">CORZ</a>) shares fell around 18% on Monday after CoreWeave announced plans to acquire the company in an all-stock deal.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a negative note, with consumer discretionary, materials and energy stocks recording the biggest losses on Monday. However, consumer staples and utilities stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session higher.
The Dow Jones closed lower by 422 points to 44,406.36 on Monday. The S&amp;P 500 fell 0.79% to 6,229.98, while the Nasdaq Composite dipped 0.92% to 20,412.52 during Monday's session.

What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
At a current reading of 75.1, the index remained in the &#8220;Extreme Greed&#8221; zone on Monday, versus a prior reading of 78.5.
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

Trump Tariffs Sink Dow Over 400 Points: Investor Sentiment Declines, But Fear & Greed Index Remains In 'Extreme Greed' Zone

President Donald Trump officially signed the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46257394/trumps-big-bautiful-bill-passes-ev-tax-breaks-to-end-on-september-30-what-it-means-for-electric-vehicles">Big Beautiful Bill</a> into law on the Fourth of July and it officially ended the lucrative $7,500 Federal EV credit on all EV purchases. However, the credit is still in effect till September 30. Here's how you can still claim it on your new EV purchase.
How to qualify for the Federal EV Credit
To qualify for the Federal EV credit, you must fulfill certain criteria laid down by the U.S. government's IRS or Internal Revenue Service. The rules suggest that the consumer must buy the EV for personal use and not resale and use the EV within the U.S. primarily.

As far as income is concerned, a single individual must make no more than $150,000 annually to qualify, while heads of households can make up to $225,000 to benefit from the credit.
Couples filing jointly have a $300,000 cap on income for the EV credit. The same limit also applies to surviving spouses, the IRS states.
What vehicles are eligible for the credit
IRS rules state that a vehicle must either be an all-electric, hybrid, or fuel cell vehicle with a battery capacity of at least 7 kilowatt hours and a gross weight of less than 14,000 pounds. Additionally, the vehicle must be manufactured by a qualified automaker.
As far as the price is concerned, a car shouldn't cost more than $55,000 while SUVs, Vans and Pickup trucks can cost no more than $80,000. The vehicles must also undergo assembly within the U.S. to qualify.
Eligible models include the Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Model Y, Model X, Model 3 and the Cybertruck. It also includes vehicles from General Motors Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) like the Chevrolet Blazer, Equinox and Silverado, as well as the Cadillac Lyriq and more.
Credit on used EVs and other Information
The credit is also extended to used EVs, with a maximum amount of $4,000 extended on all purchases of eligible used vehicles. Used EVs must also be at least 2 years old and cost no more than $25,000 to be eligible.

Most importantly, you must take delivery of your EV before September 30, 2025, to qualify for the EV credit. You won't be eligible for the credit if you place an order before September 30 and take delivery of your vehicle post that date.

Cathie Wood's Ark Investment Management has filed plans to launch four new exchange-traded funds designed to offer downside protection for investors in its flagship ARK Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#BATS">ARKK</a>), while placing a cap on potential gains.
Check out the current price of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ARKK" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ARKK stock here.</a>
What Happened: Last week, Ark filed <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1579982/000121390025061181/ea0247921-01_485apos.htm">with</a> the SEC for four new funds, the ARK Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 Defined Innovation ETFs, which will each operate on a rolling 12-month cycle beginning in January, April, July, and October, respectively.
Referred to as &#8220;buffer ETFs,&#8221; they are mostly aimed at limiting potential losses at the firm&#8217;s Ark Innovation ETF to 50%, over their respective timeframes. However, they will only participate in ARKK's gains if the underlying fund rises more than about 5% over that same period, according to a report by Reuters.

This marks Ark&#8217;s entry into the growing buffer ETF market, which has been gaining traction in recent years as investors seek a more measured approach to equity market volatility.

According to Eric Balchunas, senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, &#8220;These are like Diet Ark. Investors are probably telling them, &#8216;we like the taste and the kick but would like to trim the caffeine and sugar.'&#8221;
&#8220;So maybe they would like to give up a touch of upside for some sleep at night for the downside,&#8221; Balchunas says, as reported <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-07/cathie-wood-targets-investor-jitters-with-diet-ark-buffer-etfs">by</a> Bloomberg.

Why It Matters: Last week, Proshares <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/new-etfs/25/07/46208362/proshares-launches-etfs-that-reset-daily-so-you-dont-have-to-panic-when-markets-are-choppy">launched buffer ETFs</a> that reset daily, without lock-in periods that last for an entire year. The fund house employs a patent-pending methodology that protects investors from daily drawdowns, while still providing exposure to potential gains.
Ark&#8217;s funds have been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/25/06/45804512/trump-musk-feud-gets-ugly-etfs-exposed-with-tesla-caught-in-the-crossfire">caught in the crossfire</a> in recent months, particularly due to its exposure to Tesla, which witnessed sharp drawdowns in response to the ongoing feud between CEO Elon Musk and President Donald Trump. The buffer ETFs are aimed at protecting investors from such volatility.
This kind of protection is particularly suited for the Ark Innovation ETF, given its exposure to speculative and disruptive technologies. In 2022, the fund witnessed a steep 66.9% pullback owing to the same. 
Price Action: The Ark Innovation ETF was down 0.91% on Monday, trading at $70.44 and is up 0.06% after hours.
