President Donald Trump&#8217;s national security team saw a major reshuffle with the removal of national security adviser Mike Waltz.
Waltz, a former congressman recognized for his hawkish stance, has been nominated by Trump to serve as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations on Thursday. In the interim, Secretary of State Marco Rubio will take on the role of national security adviser, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5278283-trump-national-security-shakeup/">reported</a> The Hill.

The dismissal of Waltz comes amidst allegations of his inadequate commitment to the president&#8217;s agenda and his involvement in a Signal chat scandal. This move has further stirred the already turbulent waters of Trump&#8217;s national security teams, following the recent dismissal of several top National Security Council officials and the head of the National Security Agency.
Waltz&#8217;s tense relationships with Trump&#8217;s chief of staff Susie Wiles, aide Steve Witkoff and Vice President JD Vance were attributed as a potential reason for his exit by an Axios <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/05/01/mike-waltz-firing-trump-white-house">report</a>.
Despite the controversy surrounding Waltz&#8217;s dismissal, some Republicans have expressed disappointment. &#8220;He did a very good job as national security adviser. It&#8217;s the president&#8217;s prerogative to decide who his team will be, but I was sorry to see that news,&#8221; stated Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).
Waltz&#8217;s proposed U.N. appointment would offer him an international platform, although it is far removed from the Oval Office.

Wall Street analysts rerated Robinhood Markets, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) on Thursday after it reported its first-quarter results on Wednesday.
Robinhood <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/45118133/robinhood-q1-earnings-highlights-record-trading-volumes-transaction-based-revenues-up-77-gold-subscribers-up-90" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported quarterly EPS</a> of&nbsp;$0.37, which beat the analyst consensus estimate of&nbsp;$0.32. Quarterly revenue of $927 million beat the analyst consensus estimate of&nbsp;$922.53 million&nbsp;and is up from $618 million Y/Y.

JP Morgan analyst Kenneth Worthington maintained a Neutral rating for Robinhood Markets and raised the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/HOOD/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target from $44 to $47</a>.
Needham analyst John Todaro reiterated a Buy rating for Robinhood Markets and lowered the price target from $62 to $58.
Piper Sandler analyst Patrick Moley maintained a rating of Overweight for Robinhood Markets and a price target of $70.
Goldman Sachs analyst James Yaro reiterated a Buy rating for Robinhood Markets and raised the price target from $52 to $56.
JP Morgan:  Net revenue exceeded expectations at $927 million as the transaction-based revenue beat outpaced net interest revenue miss. Expenses came in heavier than previously modeled before adjusting for incremental TradePMR costs. As such, the earnings beat was of low quality, as a lower-than-modeled effective tax rate primarily drove it. New businesses and products defined much of the conversation in the first quarter of 2025.
Despite the poor performance, Robinhood still attracted a record $18 billion in net new deposits this quarter, of which only ~15% was due to promotions. Strong organic growth continues to surprise in terms of its duration and magnitude and remains a highlight of the result and an indication of the company&#8217;s strategic successes. However, the market environment has changed. While it asserted that the retail investor remains healthy and strong platform engagement has been broad-based, some preliminary second-quarter data has been weaker since the onset of the global tariff war. Worthington also observed a decline in margin balances and potential client movement of assets into cash, noting the potential for a slowdown in trading activity as a sign of customer weakness.
Worthington projected second-quarter adjusted EPS of $0.31.
Needham: Robinhood reported a modest top-line beat but a narrow miss on adjusted EBITDA. Crypto volumes softened in the first quarter of 2025 while options and equities remained robust. Prediction market volumes align with Todaro&#8217;s projections and noted futures. Gold cards, in particular, were positive callouts, with card users increasing from 200,000 to 100,000. Todaro expected growth in equities and options in the second quarter of 2025, while he modeled a roughly 48% decline in crypto, in line with industry trends. Todaro lowered interest income, as we expect lower rates, which is partially offset by higher transactional activity in this environment.
Todaro projected second-quarter revenue of $814.0 million and EPS of $0.24.
Piper Sandler:  Robinhood stock initially gained traction on better-than-industry margin trends month to date, strong adoption and indications of interest in new assets and personal finance tools, as well as incremental information on the product roadmap through the rest of 2025 and beyond.
On the call, management indicated that annual run-rate revenues for its futures, index options, and prediction market offerings were each individually already tracking around $20 million. In futures, Robinhood disclosed that customers traded 4.5 million contracts in April, exceeding the total amount traded in the first quarter of 2025. In prediction markets, Robinhood has seen >1 billion contracts traded in the last six months across contracts related to the US elections, economic indicators, NCAA Basketball, the Masters and the NBA/NHL playoffs. 
CEO Vlad Tenev said Robinhood loves what it&#8217;s seeing from its prediction market customers and plans to expand the offering into a wider variety of contracts over time.
Moley projected second-quarter revenue of $852.6 million and EPS of $0.29.
Goldman Sachs: Yaro expects a muted market response, driven by a 1% total revenue beat, led by healthy transaction revenue (6% above consensus), partially offset by 4% weaker net interest income and 11% lower other revenue. Aside from crypto, customer activity remained healthy in April, possibly better than expected by certain investors. Against this, crypto volumes were down an estimated ~27% M/M, which resulted in lower total transaction revenue. The company reiterated a continued focus on rolling out new products across several areas, including prediction markets, digital wealth, digital banking and crypto.
Price Action: HOOD stock is trading 3.74% lower at $47.28 as of last check on Thursday.

Here's How Much $1000 Invested In Elevance Health 20 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45124373/tesla-board-explored-replacing-elon-musk-as-tesla-ceo-a-month-ago-report">shut down a report </a>that the company was actively looking to replace CEO Elon Musk.
While it remains to be seen if the report was factual or not, prediction markets saw odds that Musk leaves the company in 2025 spike.
What Happened: Facing<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44937440/tesla-q1-misses-estimates-as-tariff-pressures-weigh-on-outlook-lower-cost-evs-still-on-track"> weaker financials </a>and seeing CEO Musk spend more time with the White House working for the Department of Government Efficiency, Tesla's board of directors began searching for a new CEO about a month ago, according to a Wall Street Journal report.
The board reportedly told Musk he needed to devote more time to Tesla.
Following the release of the report, Tesla and Musk both denied that a search ever took place.
"It is an extremely bad breach of ethics that the @WSJ would publish a deliberately false article and fail to include an unequivocal denial beforehand by the Tesla board of directors!" Musk <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1917815854647107990">tweeted</a> while sharing the denial from Tesla's X account.
On prediction market Kalshi, the odds that Musk would be out as Tesla CEO in 2025 spiked to 19%. At the time of writing, the odds now stand at 16%. A high of 30% for the prediction market was hit back in June 2024 at 30%.
<iframe loading="lazy" src="https://kalshi.com/external-widgets/events/TESLACEOCHANGE-25/markets/TESLACEOCHANGE-25?color_scheme=light&#038;widget_size=medium&#038;variant=a" width="488px" height="242px" style="border:0"></iframe>
Kalshi also offers a prediction <a href="https://kalshi.com/markets/kxteslaceochange/new-tesla-ceo#teslaceochange-26">market </a>on whether Musk will leave Tesla before 2027. This market has much higher chance at 35%, a figure up six points from yesterday.
Kalshi has many other Tesla- and Musk-related prediction markets open, including when Musk will leave DOGE, if Musk will remain the wealthiest person in 2025, when Musk will become a trillionaire, and if Musk will buy a major sports team.
On prediction market Polymarket, the <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/musk-out-as-tesla-ceo-in-2025">market </a>for Musk to be out as Tesla CEO in 2025 spiked to 19% last night and now sits at 15%.
Polymarket also has a <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/who-will-replace-musk-as-tesla-ceo?tid=1746107020420">market </a>for who will replace Musk as CEO of Tesla. The number one answer is no CEO announced. Following that option are two candidates who have more than 1%.
JB Straubel is listed with odds of 3% as the favorite. Straubel is the former chief technology officer of Tesla who spent 15 years with the company. Straubel is sometimes credited with a co-founder role for the company, given his early commitment to Tesla's development.
Omead Afshar is listed with odds of 2%. Afshar currently works at Tesla and is considered a close Musk ally and vice president of the electric vehicle company.
Listed beyond those two favorites are many candidates at odds of 1% that include the likes of Waymo CEO Tekedra Mawakana, General Motors CEO Mary Barra, Advanced Micro Devices CEO Lisa Su, Ford Motor Co. CEO Jim Farley, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi and SpaceX CEO Gwynne Shotwell.
Another polarizing figure at 1% odds is Zach Kirkhorn, who worked at Tesla from 2010 to 2023. Kirkhorn served as Tesla's chief financial officer from 2019 to 2023.

</ul>
Why It's Important: Tesla's brand may have been damaged by Musk and his push into politics. However, when people think of Tesla, they think of Musk.
Musk is also a key shareholder of Tesla. Without Musk's approval, it seems rather unlikely that he would leave as CEO.
The self-proclaimed wearer of many hats serves in leadership roles at several companies including Tesla, SpaceX and X, which does limit his full-time commitment to any company. With his role at the Department of Government Efficiency, Musk was less involved with Tesla.
Musk recently promised that he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/05/45140155/musk-shifts-focus-back-to-tesla-says-doge-will-endure-without-him-is-buddha-needed-for-buddhism">would spend less time </a>at DOGE beginning May and spend more time at Tesla.
With new models coming, robotaxis and the Optimus Bot, Musk has expressed his optimism for Tesla and it's unlikely he would leave now.
Someday, Musk will leave Tesla or at least scale back his role. That is a day that Tesla shareholders and fans are likely not prepared for.
TSLA Price Action: Tesla stock closed Thursday at $280.52 versus a 52-week trading range of $157.40 to $488.54. Tesla stock is down 25.5% year-to-date in 2025.

Elon Musk Out As Tesla CEO In 2025? Prediction Markets Put Little Faith In WSJ Report, Here Are The Top Replacement Picks

Nobody likes talking about wills. It's right up there with colonoscopies and root canals — necessary, but not exactly dinner conversation. Still, financial guru Dave Ramsey isn't letting anyone off the hook. In a clip <a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1EA4GkSnWK/?mibextid=wwXIfr">posted to his Facebook page</a>, Ramsey made it pretty clear: if you're going to ruffle feathers with your will, do it while you're alive — and do it loudly.
"If you're going to piss somebody off in the will, go ahead and do it while you're alive," Ramsey said. "Have a backbone. Instead of sneaking off into the grave and letting somebody else deal with their hurt feelings."

</ul>
The post itself was just as direct, urging people to "Get your will done, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44648769/32-year-old-tells-dave-ramsey-he-feels-guilty-after-being-only-one-to-inherit-grandmas-home-and-300k-no-one-deserved-anything-from-her">tell everybody what the stinking will says</a> while you're still alive."&nbsp;
He called out the drama people create when they treat their estate plans like a "deep, dark secret" — comparing it to a bad movie plot. "This is not a movie, it's your life," he snapped. And if you're a "crotchety old whatever" who wants to leave it all to your niece because your kids never call? Go ahead and tell them that, he said — and "shut up" about it.
The comment section, naturally, exploded — because nothing stirs emotions like money and family.
One person chimed in, saying, "I've been straight up with my kids all along. I told them they already received their inheritance in the form of private school, club sports and activities, and college tuition. They shouldn't be expecting anything when I pass." They added that the ball's now in their kids' court — they've been taught how to manage money and invest, and the rest is up to them.

Another user joked, "If you just make sure to spend every dime you make and live a life in debt you will never have to worry about estate planning lol." Certainly not the strategy Ramsey would recommend, but it's one way to avoid family squabbles.
<a href="https://www.ramseysolutions.com/retirement/estate-planning-guide">According to Ramsey Solutions</a>, estate planning isn't just about deciding who gets Grandma's china set. It's about protecting your entire life's work — your money, your kids, your pets — and making sure you, not a court, get the final say. It's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43278283/36-year-old-inherits-3-5-million-and-asks-dave-ramsey-the-best-way-to-invest-it-i-buy-real-estate-and-i-buy-mutual-funds-thats-all">more than just writing a will</a>. It's about setting up powers of attorney, trusts, and guardianship plans too.
And if you don't leave a plan? Well, the state's got one for you. Without a will, your estate is considered "intestate," and the court steps in to divide your assets based on your state's laws — usually following a strict order of succession.&nbsp;
That could mean your money and belongings end up with relatives you barely know or wouldn't have chosen. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42746966/debt-and-broke-are-the-norm-says-dave-ramsey-explains-why-normal-isnt-working-for-most-americans-and-how-to-take-control-of-your-money">Debts also come into play</a>, since creditors get first dibs on whatever you leave behind. Intestacy laws apply in all states, though the exact rules vary depending on where you live.
If you don't want your family starring in their own drama series after you're gone, take Ramsey's advice: have the talk now. No sneaking off into the grave.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Axis Capital Holdings Stock In The Last 5 Years

In 2012, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/01/43101102/elon-musk-the-richest-man-in-the-world-is-estimated-to-earn-over-23-million-every-single-hour-of-the-day-heres-how-hes-spending-it">Elon Musk</a> had a lot to say about bad car designs — and he didn't hold back.
During an <a href="https://youtu.be/L-s_3b5fRd8?si=wJX2ULtyzgA2zSGA">interview with tech entrepreneur and investor Kevin Rose</a>, Musk was asked why so many automakers seemed to "suck" — especially when it came to their design choices.
"I don't know. It blows my mind," he said. "It just seems like you can take a body panel and you can stamp it with that shape or this shape, and yet they choose to do the bad shape. But it costs the same either way."

</ul>
He even went further, explaining: "You can make an ugly expensive car, you can make a good-looking expensive car, and actually the cost differences are relatively small."
Of course, "ugly" is in the eye of the beholder — one person's sleek modern design is another's design disaster. Still, Musk was clearly frustrated that automakers were spending luxury-level money and still delivering cars he thought looked bad.
At the time, Musk touted Tesla's approach: weekly design sessions where every curve and corner was obsessed over, filtered through engineering, safety, and regulations. It was a fresh take that helped Tesla's early models stand out in a sea of snooze-worthy sedans.
But fast forward to the present, and the internet is asking a different question: What happened to that guy?
Because these days, it's Musk's own Cybertruck that's getting roasted for looking… well, pretty ugly — and at a very expensive price.

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44536773/demand-is-off-the-charts-elon-musk-claimed-tesla-had-over-1-million-cybertruck-reservations-just-46096-have-been-sold-in-14-months">When the Cybertruck first debuted</a>, its sharp-angled, stainless steel body split opinions. Seeing it in person didn't help much. As one Tesla owner bluntly <a href="https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/i-am-frankly-shocked-by-how-stunningly-ugly-the-cybertruck-is.326810/">put it in a forum post</a> last May, "I am frankly shocked by how stunningly ugly the Cybertruck is. Seeing it in person on the road is even more retina-burning than seeing it in pictures."
Critics didn't stop there. A <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/23/business/tesla-cybertruck-is-a-troubled-beast/index.html">CNN review</a> compared it unfavorably to the Ford F-150 Lightning, pointing out all the Cybertruck's practical headaches:
<ul>
<li>Nowhere to stand to reach into the cargo bed without slipping on a muddy tire.</li>
<li>A tiny, barely useful "frunk" (front trunk), unlike Ford's spacious, power-outlet-packed Lightning.</li>
<li>$100,000+ price tags for Foundation Series models — while Ford's Lightning is significantly cheaper.</li>
<li>Manufacturing flaws, including body panel gaps so large you could see daylight through them. </li>
</ul>
Even basic controls came under fire. CNN pointed out that while most modern SUVs put the rear camera view inside the rearview mirror — where drivers naturally look — Tesla buried the Cybertruck's rear camera in a small box on the center screen instead. A small thing, but a big clue, the review said, into Tesla's habit of ignoring what people are used to, even when it makes things harder.
"There are indications this attitude contributes to higher crash rates," CNN noted bluntly.
