Pop Culture Group Shares Explode 42% After-Hours: What's Going On

President Donald Trump has announced he is appointing Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy as the interim NASA Administrator.
What Happened: The president took to social media platform Truth Social on Wednesday to make the announcement. "I am pleased to announce that I am directing our GREAT Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, to be Interim Administrator of NASA," he said.
He outlined how Duffy had done a "TREMENDOUS" job in his role with the U.S. government, "creating a state-of-the-art Air Traffic Control System," he said. He lauded Duffy for making America's roads and bridges "efficient and beautiful again."
"He will be a fantastic leader of the ever more important Space Agency, even if only for a short period of time," Trump said in the post.
The announcement comes as over 2,145 senior employees are set to depart the space agency, mostly from the high-ranked GS-13 to GS-15 designations, reserved for personnel with specialized skills, Politico reported <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/07/09/nasa-staff-departures-00444674">on</a> Wednesday.
The departure follows proposed budget cuts for NASA that would see over 5,000 personnel cut from the workforce and budget slashed by 25%, the report suggests.
<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="680" height="544" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/09232435/Trump-truth-social-2.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-979201" style="width:402px;height:auto" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/09232435/Trump-truth-social-2.jpg 680w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/09232435/Trump-truth-social-2-300x240.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px" /></figure>

Why It Matters: The news comes as Trump had previously appointed and later <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis/25/06/45715861/donald-trump-withdraws-jared-isaacmans-nomination-for-nasa-administrator-says-new-nominee-would-put-america-first-in-space">withdrawn Jared Isaacman&#8216;s nominatio</a>n for the administrator position, citing Isaacman's previous political associations.
Trump's removal of Isaacman served as a point of contention between him and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46266957/trump-calls-america-party-a-train-wreck-blasts-elon-musk-for-going-completely-off-the-rails-president-says-system-not-designed-for-a-third-player">SpaceX CEO Elon Musk</a>, who is a close associate of Isaacman. It's worth noting that Isaacman shared Musk's vision to visit Mars. &#8220;We will prioritize sending American astronauts to Mars,&#8221; Isaacman had said in the U.S. Senate.
Elsewhere, the U.S. government allocated over $1.25 billion towards the operations of the International Space Station, despite Musk's repeated calls <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/space/25/07/46241328/elon-musk-calls-for-retiring-international-space-station-after-trumps-tax-bill-allocates-over-1-25-billion-to-it-its-time-to-focus-on-mars">to de-orbit the ISS</a>, citing safety concerns.

Trump Appoints Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy As Interim NASA Administrator

Perplexity AI launched its Comet web browser on Wednesday, following Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) Google Chrome&#8217;s rejection of the startup&#8217;s offer to become a default search engine option, according to CEO Aravind Srinivas.
What Happened: &#8220;I reached out to Chrome to offer Perplexity as a default search engine option a long time ago. They refused. Hence we decided to build Perplexity Comet browser,&#8221; Srinivas wrote on X Wednesday.
The move escalates competition in the browser market, where Google Chrome maintains a dominant market share. Perplexity&#8217;s entry comes as the San Francisco-based company, backed by Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/financing/25/05/45358069/perplexitys-14-billion-valuation-ignites-google-search-engine-shakeup">carries a $14 billion valuation</a> from its latest funding round, up from $9 billion in November.
Comet positions itself as an artificial intelligence-powered browser that transforms browsing into &#8220;thinking,&#8221; according to Perplexity&#8217;s announcement. The browser integrates conversational AI capabilities, allowing users to ask questions directly without traditional search navigation. The company describes the shift as moving &#8220;from navigation to cognition.&#8221;

Why It Matters: The browser launch follows mounting speculation about potential acquisition targets for Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>). Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives called a Perplexity acquisition &#8220;a no-brainer&#8221; for Apple, citing the tech giant&#8217;s need to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46216283/dan-ives-urges-apple-to-make-a-move-saying-that-perplexity-acquisition-is-a-no-brainer-its-a-matter-of-when-and-not-if">strengthen its AI capabilities</a> amid criticism of Siri and delayed Apple Intelligence features.
Perplexity&#8217;s search engine provides inline citations and sources, differentiating it from traditional search results. 
The startup&#8217;s revenue continues growing, with CEO Srinivas stating &#8220;no plans of IPOing before 2028&#8221; during a Reddit discussion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44557415/perplexity-ceo-aravind-srinivas-shuts-down-financial-rumors-on-reddit-says-ai-search-startup-has-no-plans-of-ipoing-before-2028">addressing financial stability concerns</a>. Major investors include Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) founder Jeff Bezos and SoftBank Group Corp.
Comet launches initially for Perplexity Max subscribers, with invite-only access rolling out through summer. The browser represents Perplexity&#8217;s boldest challenge to Google&#8217;s web ecosystem as AI search competition intensifies across the technology sector.

Google Rejected Perplexity's Request To Become A Default Search Engine Option On Chrome: AI Startup Fires Back With 'Comet' Browser

Sen.&nbsp;Elizabeth Warren&nbsp;(D-Mass.)&nbsp;urged Congress to implement stricter regulations on digital assets on Wednesday, citing concerns over President Donald Trump&#8217;s &#8220;superhighway of crypto corruption.&#8221; 
What Happened: During a Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee hearing, Warren cautioned that any cryptocurrency regulation should not have &#8220;massive unintended consequences.&#8221;
&#8220;President Trump has made it impossible to have a conversation about cryptocurrency legislation that doesn't address his most successful grift yet,&#8221; the senior Democrat said.
Warren cited a recent New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/07/02/business/donald-trump-wealth-net-worth.html">report </a>that found crypto to be the most significant source of Trump&#8217;s wealth.
&#8220;If Congress is going to ratify a sweeping crypto regulatory regime, it is critical we shut down the President's superhighway of crypto corruption,&#8221; Warren said.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
During the hearing, Warren sought insights from legal scholar and former chief White House ethics lawyer Richard W. Painter on the potential impacts of&nbsp;a new federal regulatory framework&nbsp;for the Trump family&#8217;s cryptocurrency ventures.
&#8220;It will make him very&nbsp;rich. Richer than he already&nbsp;is,&#8221; Painter said, when asked about the impact on the Official Trump (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TRUMP</a>) meme coin.
Warren further inquired about who would have&nbsp;the power to appoint and&nbsp;dismiss regulators implementing new rules governing crypto holdings if the bill passes. Painter responded, &#8220;The President of the United&nbsp;States.&#8221;
The White House didn&#8217;t immediately return Benzinga&#8217;s request for comment.

Moreover, Trump reported incomes<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45966444/donald-trump-jr-says-his-father-doesnt-touch-the-family-backed-crypto-company-despite-disclosure-of-57-million-income" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;exceeding $57 million</a>&nbsp;from&nbsp;World Liberty Financial, the firm behind USD1, in his latest disclosure, leading to further scrutiny of his cryptocurrency ventures.

Elizabeth Warren Says Critical That Trump's 'Superhighway Of Crypto Corruption' Be Shut Down

Melinda French Gates says she will not bankroll her daughter's new fashion-tech venture, arguing that the startup must prove itself the same way any "real business" does.
What Happened: "She got capitalized not because of my contacts, not because of me," the billionaire philanthropist <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/07/08/melinda-french-gates-reveals-shes-refusing-to-fund-her-gen-z-daughters-new-startup-despite-being-worth-nearly-31-billion/">told</a> the Power of Women's Sports Summit, according to Fortune. "I wouldn't put money into it," she added, insisting her daughter learn how to navigate the sting of rejection on her own.
The stance echoes ex-husband Bill Gates' long-held pledge that their three children will inherit "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44579813/bill-gates-declares-that-his-children-would-inherit-less-than-1-of-his-fortune-i-am-not-asking-them-to-run-microsoft">less than 1%</a>" of his fortune and must "make their own way."
French Gates, whose net worth exceeds $30 billion, told the audience a real venture must attract outside backers and become resilient through rejection See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/07/46316239/f1s-293m-10-day-haul-lands-apple-its-first-box-office-smash-giving-formula-1-huge-u-s-visibility">F1&#8217;s $293M 10-Day Haul Lands Apple Its First Box Office Smash, Giving Formula 1 Huge U.S. Visibility</a>
Though French Gates did not name which daughter, 22-year-old Phoebe Gates <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45184302/bill-gates-daughter-launches-phia-a-850k-ai-powered-fashion-app-with-backing-from-kris-jenner-and-desiree-gruber">recently launched Phia</a>, an AI-powered platform that compares prices from 40,000 retailers. Phia's seed round, roughly $850,000 so far, came from Soma Capital, a Stanford social-impact grant and angel investors, not family money. Celebrity backers such as Kris Jenner have since joined.
Why It Matters: French Gates said the tough-love approach is especially critical for women in tech, where just <a href="https://ff.co/women-funding-statistics-2025/">2.3% of global venture capital</a> went to all-female founding teams last year. "It is very, very hard to get your business funded if you're a woman," she warned.
Tennis legend Billie Jean King, seated beside her, agreed, saying, &#8220;To your point, like your daughter has figured out how to get this first business started — that's amazing. I don't think it'll ever fail—she'll get feedback from every situation.
Phoebe Gates has embraced that mantra, telling a podcast recently that investor skepticism about her age and future motherhood left her in tears <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45162723/bill-gates-daughter-phoebe-says-mom-melinda-gave-tough-love-advice-after-investors-questioned-motherhood-plans-get-up-or-get-out-the-game">until her mom advised</a>, "Get up or get out of the game, sis."

Melinda French Gates Reveals Why She Won't Fund Her Daughter's Startup, Says Others Should Back It If Its A 'Real Business'

IGC Pharma Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IGC#NYSE">IGC</a>) witnessed a surge of 69.40%&nbsp; in its stock value during after-hours trading on Wednesday.
What Happened: The stock of IGC Pharma, a company involved in the development of cannabinoid-based therapies for Alzheimer&#8216;s disease, <a href="https://www.google.com/finance/quote/IGC:NYSEAMERICAN?sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwieuY3jmbGOAxWKbmwGHX-XCkcQ3ecFegQINRAb">rose by 69.40%</a> to $0.62. This surge followed the closing price of $0.37 on Wednesday.

IGC Pharma&#8217;s stock has been on a rollercoaster ride recently. The company&#8217;s stock value had dropped to $0.32 on Tuesday, but it has now rebounded in after-hours trading.
Why It Matters: IGC Pharma has been making significant strides in its field. In June, the company highlighted its fiscal year 2025 with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/06/46167742/igc-pharma-highlights-fiscal-year-2025-with-clinical-progress-and-alzheimers-drug-development-adv">clinical progress and Alzheimer&#8217;s drug development advances</a>. This included the presentation of a scientific poster titled &#8220;Genetic Toxicity Evaluation Of Melatonin In The Bacterial Reverse Mutation Assay,&#8221; at the 2025 <a href="https://investor.igcpharma.com/igc-pharma-presents-genetic-toxicology-safety-data-on-api-in-igc-ad1-at-the-2025-genetic-toxicology-association-meeting/">Genetic Toxicology Association Annual Meeting</a>.
IGC Pharma also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/earnings/25/06/46140110/insights-ahead-igc-pharmas-quarterly-earnings">beat analyst estimates in its fourth-quarter earnings, reporting an earnings</a> per share of $(0.01) and sales of $330 million, which beat the $305 million estimate.

Massive 69.4% Surge for IGC Pharma in After-Hours Trading: Here's Why

Investor Cathie Wood, the CEO of Ark Invest, offered one of her most emphatic endorsements yet of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO, Elon Musk, calling him &#8220;the most productive human being on earth and in space in history.&#8221;
What Happened: On Wednesday, Wood shared a post on X, crediting Musk for &#8220;harnessing breakthroughs in AI, robotics, and energy storage,&#8221; which she says makes him the most productive human. 
&#8220;Facts are facts,&#8221; she says, while sharing an earlier post by former Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) CTO, Balaji Srinivasan, who praised Musk&#8217;s rare ability to build complex hardware companies such as Tesla and SpaceX, at scale, while juggling several other ventures across AI, brain-computer interfaces, and tunneling technology.

&#8220;Hardware is hard,&#8221; Srinivasan said in his post, since &#8220;even one serious bug can destroy your company,&#8221; leading him to laud the fact that Musk accomplished all this amid crises, regulatory pressure, and personal chaos, while comparing him to the likes of Srinivasa Ramanujan and Michael Jordan.

Elon Musk Is The 'Most Productive Human Being On Earth,' Says Ark Invest's Cathie Wood: 'Facts Are Facts'

Elon Musk on Tuesday contrasted the lack of action against individuals on Jeffrey Epstein&#8217;s alleged client list to the controversial euthanasia of pet squirrel "Peanut" last year.
What happened: In an X post, Musk used the popular &#8220;The Office&#8221; meme to criticize what he perceived as hypocrisy in the justice system.
"They arrested (and killed) Peanut, but have not even tried to file charges against anyone on the Epstein client list," the world's richest man said.

Why It Matters: Peanut's seizure and subsequent euthanasia ignited public outrage and became a major flashpoint before the presidential elections last year. The controversy also spawned a Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>)-based memecoin Peanut the Squirrel&nbsp;(PNUT).
The officials had expressed grief over Peanut's death but stated that it had to be done due to potential rabies exposure. Rabies testing eventually came up negative.
Musk, who was siding with Republicans then, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41927379/elon-musk-says-the-prophecy-has-been-fulfilled-peanut-the-squirrel-themed-meme-coin-spikes-11">used the animal&#8217;s death</a> to target New York state officials and even said that President Donald Trump would &#8220;save the squirrels."
Fast forward to July 2025, Musk and Trump aren&#8217;t as friendly. 
The Tesla and SpaceX CEO has rued the lack of arrests in the Jeffrey Epstein&nbsp;row, and at one point, alleged that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45828121/elon-musks-bombshell-about-donald-trump-in-epstein-docs-heres-the-truth-behind-the-claim">Trump&#8217;s name on the list</a> is the reason behind the lack of action. It&#8217;s worth noting that he later retracted the statement
Price Action:&nbsp; At the time of writing, PNUT was exchanging hands at $0.2354, up 5.59% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
Benzinga Note: Investing in meme coins is highly speculative and involves significant risk. Meme coins often lack intrinsic value and are driven by market sentiment, social media trends, and speculative trading

WK Kellogg, Nvidia, Costco, Plug Power, And Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

On Wednesday, Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) briefly became the world's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46326271/nvidia-breaks-4-trillion-barrier-benzinga-poll-predicted-it-first">most valuable company</a>. Following this, Jim Cramer hailed the AI chipmaker as a national strategic asset and a powerful tool in America's trade tensions with China.
What Happened: Nvidia crossed a $4 trillion market cap during trading before closing at $3.97 trillion. The surge reaffirmed its place atop the global market, surpassing Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>).
"The fact is, neither Microsoft nor Apple can claim that they're currently creating a new industrial revolution, like Nvidia can," said Cramer, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/09/jim-cramer-reflects-on-nvidias-impact-after-record-breaking-market-cap.html">reported</a> CNBC.
"In fairness, they did create the last industrial revolution, the rise of the personal computer, although that was a long time ago," he added.

Reflecting on Nvidia's geopolitical significance, Cramer noted that Nvidia sometimes seems to be the U.S.&#8217;s "only bargaining chip" with China, citing Beijing's demand for Nvidia&#8217;s advanced AI hardware amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45967009/nvidia-to-appear-at-chinas-top-supply-chain-expo-despite-escalating-us-china-chip-war-beijing-calls-participation-a-vote-of-confidence">ongoing U.S. export controls</a>.
Even though China remains one of the U.S.'s largest manufacturing partners, Cramer believes Nvidia represents a more powerful bargaining chip than anything China can leverage.
Cramer also praised Nvidia's role in shaping the future of technology, saying its chips are essential for generative AI, self-driving cars and humanoid robotics. "Every single computer with a GPU that's not as good as Nvidia's is obsolete," he said.
He concluded with a familiar refrain to investors: "Bottom line? Nvidia, own it, don't trade it," adding, "See you at $5 trillion."
Cramer also posted a signed photo from Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang on X, formerly Twitter, captioned, "Thank you Jensen!!! Thank you Nvidia!!"

Why It's Important: Nvidia joined the exclusive club of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/05/32630114/nvidia-becomes-ninth-company-to-hit-1-trillion-market-cap-who-could-be-next-to-join-elusive-club">trillion-dollar companies</a> in May 2023, becoming the ninth firm ever to reach a $1 trillion market value.
Since then, it has rapidly cleared additional valuation milestones, repeatedly struggling with Microsoft and Apple for the top spot as the world's most valuable company.
By reaching a $4 trillion market cap before both Microsoft and Apple, Nvidia not only cements its place in corporate history but also breaks Apple's run as the first U.S. company to hit the $1 trillion, $2 trillion and $3 trillion marks.
NVDA currently holds a consensus price target of $179.17, based on evaluations from 37 analysts. The three latest analyst updates by Citigroup, Mizuho, and Loop Capital set an average price target of $208.33, suggesting a potential upside of 27.53%.
Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings indicate that NVDA continues to demonstrate a solid upward trend in the short, medium and long term. While the stock's growth score remains strong, its value rating is relatively lower. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-4/#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Additional performance details are available here</a>.

Nvidia Sometimes Feels Like America's Only Bargaining Chip In Trade Standoff With China, Says Jim Cramer: 'Own It, Don't Trade It'

Tensions are flaring between the United States and Brazil following President Donald Trump&#8217;s threats of sweeping 50% tariffs on imports from the South American nation. 
What Happened: On Wednesday, Trump wrote a letter telling Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva that the trial of former President Jair Bolsonaro was &#8220;a Witch Hunt that should end IMMEDIATELY,&#8221; while accusing the nation of &#8220;insidious attacks on Free Elections,&#8221; which prompted the punitive trade measure. 
The letter further accused Brazil's Supreme Court of issuing &#8220;hundreds of SECRET and UNLAWFUL Censorship Orders to U.S. Social Media platforms,&#8221; threatening free speech and violating trade norms.

Trump also argues that Brazil's trade practices have resulted in &#8220;unsustainable Trade Deficits against the United States,&#8221; calling it a major threat to the economy, as well as national security.
As a result, Trump says in the letter that, effective August 1, all Brazilian goods would face a 50% tariff, with additional duties on goods routed through third countries. He also ordered the U.S. Trade Representative to launch a Section 301 investigation into Brazil's digital trade practices and market access barriers.

Lula has since pushed back, stating that his country &#8220;will not accept any form of tutelage&#8221; and defended the ongoing legal proceedings against Bolsonaro as a matter of judicial sovereignty.
Defending Brazil's regulatory actions, Lula says that &#8220;Brazilian society rejects hateful content, racism, child pornography, scams, fraud, and speeches against human rights and democratic freedom.&#8221; He also adds that &#8220;freedom of expression must not be confused with aggression or violent practices.&#8221;
He also challenged Trump&#8217;s claims on trade, stating that &#8220;Statistics from the U.S. government itself show a surplus of $410 billion in the trade of goods and services with Brazil over the past 15 years.&#8221; He says, any unilateral tariff hikes &#8220;will be addressed in accordance with Brazil's Economic Reciprocity Law.&#8221;
Lula concluded by establishing &#8220;sovereignty, respect, and the unwavering defense of the interests of the Brazilian people&#8221; as what guides his nation&#8217;s relationship with the world.

Analyst Notes: Blockchain analytics firm Santiment stated that Bitcoin's breakout followed panic selling by retailers who were dropping out due to "boredom or disbelief."
"History has shown that this is a prime sign of a potential breakout, as crypto markets typically move the opposite direction of the crowd&#8217;s expectations," Santiment remarked.

Seasoned trader Peter Brandt spotted an expanding inverted triangle pattern in Bitcoin's daily price movement, suggesting a higher risk of "mortality" or pattern failure.
An inverted triangle pattern, or descending triangle, is a bearish chart formation characterized by a horizontal support line and a descending resistance line.
"Nevertheless, I am long BTC. A decline below $107,000 would suggest morphology," he added.

Bitcoin Breaks $112,000, Ethereum, Dogecoin Surge Amid Growing Institutional Interest, Nvidia-Driven Tech Rally: Experienced Trader Peter Brandt Says, 'I Am Long BTC'

Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) CEO Mark Zuckerberg once joked that his parents were more proud of his Harvard University acceptance than anything he's done since, despite <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/23/05/32461106/if-you-invested-1-000-in-facebook-stock-at-ipo-11-years-ago-heres-how-much-youd-have-now">founding one of the world's</a> most influential tech companies.
What Happened: "I'm honored to be with you today because, let's face it, you accomplished something I never could," Zuckerberg said in his 2017 Harvard commencement speech.
"If I get through this speech, it'll be the first time I actually finish something at Harvard," he told the graduating class.
He went on to recount the moment he got his acceptance email. "I was playing Civilization and I ran downstairs, got my dad and for some reason, his reaction was to video me opening the email. That could have been a really sad video," he said.

"I swear, getting into Harvard is still the thing my parents are most proud of me for." Pointing to the audience, he added, "My mom is nodding."
Zuckerberg also shared an anecdote from his college days to highlight the value of kindness. Recalling his first lecture — Computer Science 121 with Professor Harry Lewis, but noted that no one approached him, except for one fellow student, Kang-Xing Jin.
&#8220;I was running late for class, so I threw on a T-shirt and I didn&#8217;t realize until afterwards that I put it on inside out and backwards. And my tag was sticking out the front,&#8221; Zuckerberg said, adding, &#8220;I couldn&#8217;t figure out why no one in class would talk to me.&#8221;
Zuckerberg and Jin ended up tackling problem sets together. The latter later became a major part of Facebook.
Zuckerberg, who famously dropped out of Harvard to launch Facebook, received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree during the ceremony.

Why It&#8217;s Important: Facebook began in a Harvard dorm in 2004 as "TheFacebook," initially intended as a private network for college students.
Zuckerberg, along with college roommates, built what would become a global social networking giant. Peter Thiel's early $500,001 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39592355/palantirs-peter-thiel-highlights-impact-of-founders-citing-mark-zuckerbergs-example-of-not-selling-f">investment for a</a> 10.2% stake gave the company its first real backing.
Within a few years, Facebook dropped "The," expanded globally, and began rolling out features like News Feed and mobile apps.
Fast forward to 2025, Zuckerberg—now worth approximately $258 billion—is leading Meta (Facebook rebranded as Meta in 2021), which currently commands a market cap of $1.84 trillion.
Meta's latest frontier is artificial general intelligence (AGI). In June 2025, it launched <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46301582/metas-ai-empire-grows-fueled-by-openai-deepmind-apple-defectors">Meta Superintelligence Labs</a>, consolidating its Llama models and FAIR (Fundamental AI Research) division to pursue "personal superintelligence."
MSL has been aggressively hiring top talent from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind and Apple Inc.
Meta currently has an average price target of $734.93, based on estimates from 43 analysts. The three most recent updates — from TD Cowen, Roth Capital and Wells Fargo — set an average target of $774.33, implying a potential upside of 5.63%.
Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings show that META maintains a strong upward trend across the short, medium and long term. Although its growth score is high, its value rating is comparatively lower. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-4/#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">You can find more detailed performance data here</a>.

Cathie Wood Dumps Jack Dorsey's Block As Bitcoin Flirts With All-Time Highs, Bets $8.8 million On Tempus AI

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has criticized the proposed $1.1 billion cut to public broadcasting, warning of a slide towards authoritarianism in the United States.
What Happened: On Wednesday, Sanders took to X to express his concerns over the proposed budget cuts to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. This comes after President Donald Trump labeled the Public Broadcast Service as &#8220;radical, woke propaganda&#8221; and Republicans expressed their intent to slash the CPB&#8217;s budget, according to the senator.

In May, Trump signed an executive order <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45181825/trump-calls-npr-and-pbs-biased-and-partisan-signs-executive-order-to-stop-funding">halting federal funding</a> for National Public Radio and PBS. The order cited the news published by both outlets as &#8220;biased&#8221; and &#8220;partisan&#8221;.
Trump&#8217;s repeated calls to defund public media have put organizations like NPR and PBS on the edge. He has long criticized these outlets, accusing them of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/12/42714268/trumps-threat-to-defund-public-media-puts-npr-and-pbs-on-edge">promoting liberal bias</a>, and has vowed to cut all federal funding for the CPB, which supports public media.

Bernie Sanders Says In The US, Presidents 'Don't Censor The Media,' Slams Trump Administration's Move To Cut $1.1 Billion From PBS: 'Another Step Toward Authoritarianism'

Stanford-educated roboticist Samir Menon never set out to replace human workers with machines. He wants to &#8216;supercharge&#8217; them, and now his billion-dollar startup, Dexterity, is betting that vision could shape the future of global labor.
Founded in 2017, Dexterity builds what it calls "superhumanoids," industrial <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45185633/ups-explores-humanoid-robots-as-figure-ai-secures-675m-from-jeff-bezos-openai-and-intel-targeting-9b-revenue-by-2029">robots</a> designed to work in extreme conditions like high heat or altitude, where human labor often falls short. The company is currently valued at $1.65 billion and has entered unicorn territory with backing from major players like FedEx (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDX#NYSE">FDX</a>) and Kawasaki Heavy Industries,<a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/unicorn-startup-that-makes-superhuman-robots-plots-path-to-ipo-2a84abbe"> The Wall Street Journal</a> reports.

</ul>
Rather than designing robots to mimic human shape and behavior, Menon's team focuses on utility, building machines that can lift heavier, last longer, and handle riskier tasks than any person safely could. "You can try to do <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45961532/nvidia-and-samsung-back-4-5b-robotics-startup-skild-ai-with-35m-as-softbank-and-jeff-bezos-drive-push-into-consumer-robots">robotics</a> in a way that you're replacing people, or you can try to do it in a way that you're supercharging people," Menon told The Journal at the ATxSummit in May in Singapore.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Inspired by "Transformers," Built for Supermarkets</h2>
Dexterity's flagship robot is called the Mech, a mobile, two-armed machine inspired in part by "Transformers" and "Pacific Rim". According to the Journal, Mech is designed to perform physically demanding work that's too dangerous or repetitive for human workers, such as lifting heavy parcels or operating in logistics hubs.
With partners like FedEx and Sumitomo Corp. already signed on, Menon sees supermarkets and airports as likely next steps, noting to the Journal that these are examples of where robots could become commonplace.
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
Market forecasts support Menon's optimism. According to<a href="https://www.morganstanley.com/insights/articles/humanoid-robot-market-5-trillion-by-2050"> Morgan Stanley</a>, the humanoid robotics industry could be worth $5 trillion by 2050, with more than 1 billion robots deployed across commercial and industrial environments.
"Adoption should be relatively slow until the mid-2030s, accelerating in the late 2030s and 2040s," Adam Jonas, Morgan Stanley's head of global autos and shared mobility research, said in a note. "The forecast for household usage is much more conservative, with only 80 million humanoids in homes by 2050. We are not going to see a robot in every home overnight."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">IPO in Sight as Labor Shortages Push Demand for Industrial Robots</h2>
Dexterity is in active fundraising mode and plans to go public in the U.S. once it achieves stable revenue and scalability, according to Menon. The Journal says he's prioritizing growth for now, with profitability still a few years away.

<a href="https://www.bain.com/contentassets/d620202718c146359acb05c02d9060db/bain-report_the-working-future.pdf">Bain &amp; Co</a> estimates that by 2030, the global economy could face a shortage of nearly 8 million manufacturing workers, a gap that robots like Dexterity's Mech could help fill. In countries like the U.S., Japan, and much of Europe, shrinking workforces and aging populations are accelerating the demand for non-disruptive automation solutions.
For Menon, the key lies in designing machines that solve labor problems without sparking panic. "A lot of people don't really want to do extremely low-paying, very stressful tasks," he told the Journal, emphasizing that many of these roles can be augmented rather than erased.
As Dexterity scales, Menon says it's developing industrial robots aimed at amplifying human labor in high-stress or physically extreme environments, The Journal reports.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Reinsurance Gr Stock In The Last 5 Years

The risk of unauthorized data collection and privacy breaches has surged as generative AI and large language models (LLMs) become embedded in everyday tools and services. Here's a look at some of the least invasive AI platforms, as well as the most <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46187301/elon-musks-xai-secures-10-billion-in-debt-and-equity-amid-soaring-burn-rate-as-ai-arms-race-intensifies">aggressive data collectors.&nbsp;</a>
What To Know: According to a recent<a href="https://blog.incogni.com/ai-llm-privacy-ranking-2025/"> report </a>from Incogni, Mistral AI's Le Chat emerged as the least invasive AI platform in terms of data privacy, limiting data collection and performing well across most criteria.&nbsp;

ChatGPT (OpenAI) ranked second, followed by Grok (xAI) with both generative AI platforms offering relatively clear privacy policies and the ability for users to opt out of having their data used in model training.
At the other end of the spectrum, Meta Platforms, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) Meta AI, 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>) Gemini and Copilot from Microsoft, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) were found to be the most aggressive in data collection and least transparent about their practices. 
DeepSeek also performed poorly, particularly regarding opt-out options and policy clarity.
Anthropic and Meta also disclose sharing with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46197734/metas-superintelligence-lab-wants-to-outthink-the-world-and-scale-ai-dna-is-all-over-it">research collaborators</a>, which could raise concerns about data control once prompts leave the platform. 
Mobile app data collection practices were also scrutinized. Le Chat, Pi AI and ChatGPT had the lowest privacy risk on mobile. Meta AI's mobile app was the most aggressive and collected usernames, emails and phone numbers.&nbsp;
Gemini and Meta AI collect exact user locations, and Pi AI, Gemini, and DeepSeek collect phone numbers. Grok shares photos and app interaction data, while Anthropic's Claude shares app usage and email addresses.
User Beware: Overall, privacy risks vary widely between generative AI platforms.&nbsp;
The best performers offered clear <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46301582/metas-ai-empire-grows-fueled-by-openai-deepmind-apple-defectors">privacy policies</a>, opt-out controls and minimal data collection, while the worst offenders lacked transparency and shared user data broadly without clear justification.
Users should research generative AI platform privacy policies and understand and use privacy controls in order to limit security risks and maintain control of personal data.&nbsp;
