Amazon Unveils Its Biggest Prime Day Yet: Four Days Of Unmatched Savings, Trending Products, And Member-Exclusive Deals

Elon Musk revived his Latin rallying cry Monday, posting "VOX POPULI, VOX DEI" — the voice of the people is the voice of God — after voicing his displeasure over President Donald Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill."
What Happened: The Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and SpaceX chief said more than 80% of 1.9 million respondents backed his June 5 poll seeking a new party "that actually represents the 80 percent in the middle," and warned that, if Congress approves the spending package, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46186733/elon-musk-staging-a-political-comeback-tesla-ceo-sparks-america-party-buzz-as-he-slams-trumps-insane-spending-bill">he will launch</a> an "America Party" the next day.

&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1939900498892792236?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 1, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Musk labeled the $5 trillion deficit-ballooning plan an "insane spending bill" and derided both major parties as the "Porky Pig Party," promising to fund primary challengers against any lawmaker who votes yes.
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act pairs $3.8 trillion in tax cuts with $1.2 trillion in social-program reductions, a combination the Congressional Budget Office says will deepen the deficit by $3.3 trillion over ten years. Musk is <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1939051424995786839">certain</a> that the bill will &#8220;destroy millions of jobs&#8221; and provide &#8220;handouts to industries of the past.&#8221;

Musk's criticism is also aimed at the sections of the bill that propose tax hikes on a range of energy projects. These include solar, battery, geothermal, wind, and nuclear energy projects. Tesla has significant interests in both battery energy storage systems and solar photovoltaics.
Why It Matters: Musk's distress marks the latest rupture with Trump, whom he once advised and backed financially during the 2024 campaign. The billionaire's feed over the past 24 hours slammed the bill as "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/06/46177116/elon-musk-calls-trumps-megabill-political-suicide-says-it-is-utterly-insane-and-destructive-will-des?">political suicide</a>," reposted charts on rising interest costs, and celebrated bipartisan critics like Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.).
Trump's campaign <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/06/myth-vs-fact-the-one-big-beautiful-bill/">defended</a> the measure Monday night, arguing the tax breaks will "unleash American energy," while the White House insisted cuts to green subsidies and Medicaid are necessary to curb runaway deficits.
It is also interesting that Musk had <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1593769469741932544">used</a> the same phrase when restoring Trump's X account in 2022, "Vox populi, vox Dei."

Elon Musk Is Unhappy With Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' And Just Reminded Everyone That 80% 'Voted' For A New Party

President Donald Trump launched a criticism of electric vehicle mandates and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk on Tuesday, suggesting his former government efficiency advisor&#8217;s empire depends entirely on federal subsidies.
What Happened: &#8220;Elon may get more subsidy than any human being in history, by far, and without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa,&#8221; Trump wrote on Truth Social. &#8220;No more Rocket launches, Satellites, or Electric Car Production, and our Country would save a fortune.&#8221;
The president&#8217;s broadside comes amid Tesla&#8217;s deteriorating market position and Musk&#8217;s ongoing criticism of Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Big Beautiful Bill,&#8221; a nearly 1,000-page spending and tax package. Trump specifically suggested the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which Musk previously headed, should examine billions in subsidies flowing to his companies.
Tesla faces mounting headwinds across key markets. Sales in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46162850/tesla-sales-in-canada-have-dropped-to-nearly-zero-says-researcher-expects-elon-musk-led-ev-giant-may-report-losses-starting-2026">Canada plummeted 87% in Quebec during the first quarter of 2025</a>, with researcher Troy Teslike warning the company may report GAAP losses starting in the first quarter of 2026. Tesla continues operating 35 Canadian stores despite near-zero sales. 
The EV mandate criticism reflects Trump&#8217;s campaign promise to roll back former President Joe Biden-era clean energy incentives. &#8220;Electric cars are fine, but not everyone should be forced to own one,&#8221; Trump stated, emphasizing his consistent opposition predated Musk&#8217;s presidential endorsement.

Why It Matters: The feud reignited tensions between the former allies following Musk&#8217;s June departure from the Trump administration. Musk, who reportedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46166058/elon-musk-birthday-trump-tax-bill-economy">contributed over $250 million to Trump&#8217;s 2024 campaign</a>, has repeatedly attacked the spending bill as &#8220;utterly insane and destructive.&#8221; The Congressional Budget Office estimates the legislation would increase federal deficits by more than $3 trillion over a decade.
Tesla&#8217;s stock has declined amid political controversy surrounding Musk&#8217;s government role. His net worth, which peaked at $440 billion in December, dropped to $363 billion following Tesla&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/05/45710505/elon-musks-government-efficiency-push-a-closer-look-at-his-financial-gains-and-losses">value erosion and vandalism</a> targeting dealerships during his government tenure.
The president&#8217;s subsidy criticism carries particular weight given SpaceX&#8216;s reliance on NASA contracts and Tesla&#8217;s dependence on EV tax credits.

Trump Says Elon Musk Would 'Close Up Shop And Head Back Home To South Africa' Without Subsidies: 'No More Rocket Launches, Satellites, Or Electric Car'

Elon Musk&#8216;s xAI has successfully secured a massive $10 billion in fresh debt and equity. This move is a bid to expand AI infrastructure through data centers, amidst intensifying industry competition.
What Happened: Musk&#8217;s xAI has completed a $5 billion debt raise alongside a separate $5 billion strategic equity investment, reported Reuters. 
Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) said, in a post on X, that the debt raise includes financing of secured notes and term loans. The bank said the deal was oversubscribed and attracted prominent global debt investors. The equity investment is aimed at supporting xAI&#8217;s continued development of AI solutions, a data center, and its flagship Grok platform, the bank stated.

The company is also in talks to raise about $20 billion in equity, which would value the company at more than $120 billion, with some investors placing valuations as high as $200 billion.
Why It Matters: This recent development comes just weeks after reports emerged that xAI was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/bonds/25/06/45853241/elon-musks-xai-seeks-5-billion-via-morgan-stanley-amid-trump-rift-and-2022-twitter-debt-hangover-report">rapidly exhausting its financial reserves</a>, with estimates suggesting a staggering monthly expenditure of approximately $1 billion.

According to an earlier report, xAI had also been in talks to raise $4.3 billion through an equity investment on top of its $5 billion debt funding plans. This move, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45413741/elon-musk-wants-a-proper-value-for-xai-after-6-billion-raise-100000-gpus-and-a-quiet-100-million-deal-most-missed">coupled with</a> the recent debt and equity raise, signifies xAI&#8217;s aggressive pursuit of capital to stay ahead in the AI arms race.
Meanwhile, the AI industry has been witnessing significant shifts, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45943342/google-microsoft-elon-musks-xai-reportedly-cut-ties-with-scale-ai-after-mark-zuckerbergs-meta-buys-stake">major players like</a> Alphabet Inc.

Elon Musk's xAI Secures $10 Billion In Debt And Equity Amid Soaring Burn Rate As AI Arms Race Intensifies

Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) CEO Jim Farley has hailed Chinese EVs as competition from Chinese automakers gets stiffer throughout the globe.
What Happened: "It&#8217;s the most humbling thing I have ever seen. Seventy percent of all EVs in the world, electric vehicles, are made in China," Farley said at an event, Yahoo Finance reported <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/fords-ceo-says-chinas-ev-054800452.html">on</a> Monday.
The CEO praised the vehicles for the advanced technology, hailing Xiaomi Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XIACY#OTC">XIACY</a>) and Huawei's presence in "every car" in China. "You get in, you don&#8217;t have to pair your phone. Automatically, your whole digital life is mirrored in the car," Farley said.
He also said that part of the reason why Ford couldn't offer such technology in its vehicles is because Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Alphabet Inc.'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 "decided not to go in the car business."
"Beyond that, their cost, their quality of their vehicles is far superior to what I see in the West. We are in a global competition with China, and it&#8217;s not just EVs. And if we lose this, we do not have a future Ford,&#8221; Farley added.
Why It Matters: Farley's comments come in as Ford plans on releasing products on its new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46020713/ford-says-upcoming-budget-ev-platform-will-rival-chinese-ev-prices-report">affordable EV platform</a> in 2027. The company says its platform could rival Chinese competitors and match them in cost.&nbsp;
Ford is also going ahead with the plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46074112/ford-to-proceed-with-3-billion-battery-plant-despite-potential-tax-incentive-loss-under-trumps-budget-plan-we-stick-behind-our-investments">set up a battery plant</a>, investing over $3 billion in the plant, which will be in Michigan.&nbsp;
However, Chinese automakers are also pushing more competitively priced and feature-rich EVs. Recently, Xiaomi unveiled the company's first-ever all-electric SUV <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/06/46132552/telsla-model-y-rival-xiaomi-yu7-suv-receives-nearly-300000-orders-in-1-hour-in-china">dubbed the YU7</a>, which closely rivals the Tesla Inc.

Ford CEO Jim Farley Praises Chinese EVs Amid Affordable EV Platform Plans: 'It's The Most Humbling Thing'

A New York state judge says the mother of a Manhattan teen who died subway surfing can try to hold Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) and TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, legally responsible for fueling her son's fatal stunt addiction.
What Happened Justice Paul Goetz ruled Friday that Norma Nazario can pursue wrongful death, product liability and negligence claims against Meta and ByteDance, the owners of Instagram and TikTok, respectively, reported Reuters.
Her 15-year-old son, Zackery Nazario, died in February 2023 after a low beam struck him atop a Brooklyn-bound J train on the Williamsburg Bridge.
The Judge said that Nazario can try to prove that the social media giants "goaded" her son into subway surfing by addicting him to videos of dangerous challenges.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/46178725/meta-pursues-superintelligence-with-new-openai-hires-stock-climbs-to-fresh-highs">Apple Has the Potential To Crush Meta&#8217;s Ray-Ban Smart Glasses, Says Ming-Chi Kuo, But The Tech Giant Has Been &#8216;Surprisingly Slow&#8217;</a>
Meta and ByteDance called the death "heartbreaking," but claimed immunity under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which typically shields platforms from liability for user content, the report said.
The judge disagreed, allowing the case to move forward.
Nazario's lawsuit also named New York City's Metropolitan Transit Authority, but the judge dismissed those claims, writing that "the realities of life in this city" should have signaled the risks of subway surfing.
Why It's Important: This case highlights mounting legal challenges for social media companies accused of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/07/33193441/most-dangerous-tiktok-challenges-till-date-a-grave-warning-against-reckless-social-media-trends">addicting minors to harmful content</a>.
At least six people have died subway surfing in New York City this year alone, according to police, the report said.
Subway surfing — also known as train surfing — involves climbing onto the roof or exterior of a moving train. The risky stunt mirrors the concept of the popular mobile game Subway Surfers, where players dash along train tops to gather coins and rewards.
Last year, at a court hearing in Oakland, California, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his attorneys pushed back against claims that he should be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37303967/mark-zuckerberg-says-hes-not-responsible-for-childrens-addiction-to-instagram-and-facebook-in-respon">held personally responsible</a> for a wave of lawsuits accusing Facebook and Instagram of fueling child addiction to social media.
Price Action: According to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>, Meta's stock slipped 0.012% in after-hours trading to $738.
Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings show that Meta's shares remain on an upward trajectory across short, medium and long-term periods. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Additional performance details are available here</a>.

Bitcoin, the world's most valuable cryptocurrency, drove the moves of the broader cryptocurrency market in the first half of 2025, encountering historic highs and sharp corrections.&nbsp;While some investments were successful, others left a large hole in investors&#8217; portfolios.
What Happened: Spurred by the apex coin's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43079668/bitcoin-hits-record-109000-ahead-of-trumps-inauguration-sparks-market-rally">January peak</a>, the total cryptocurrency market capitalization hit $3.64 trillion. But macroeconomic fears, precipitated by President Donald Trump's tariff policies, turned things upside down. The market capitalization fell by 18.6% in the first quarter, ending March at $2.67 trillion.
Things worsened in the early part of the second quarter as Bitcoin tumbled below $75,000. However, with tariffs getting extended for three months and the administration forging deals with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/06/46113383/us-china-trade-deal-could-be-finalized-next-week-says-harvard-scholar-they-are-going-to-stabilize-this">key trade partners like China</a>, sentiment improved. The market capitalization soared 26% in the second quarter.

Among large-cap cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin was clearly the frontrunner, gaining over 15% since the year began. Solana also accumulated gains of over 7%.
However, leading coins like Ethereum, Dogecoin and XRP disappointed investors with negative returns.
The table below shows how much a $1000 investment in each of these coins at the start of the year would have grown to by the halfway point of 2025.

It is worth noting that Bitcoin&#8217;s dominance increased from 56% to 64%, while the market share of altcoins, excluding Ethereum, fell from 31% to 26% in the first six months. A high BTC dominance typically implies that investors are more confident in Bitcoin relative to other cryptocurrencies.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, the reading on the Crypto Fear and Greed <a href="https://alternative.me/crypto/fear-and-greed-index/">Index </a>was 66, indicating a &#8220;Greed&#8221; sentiment. Interestingly, the reading was similar at the beginning of the year.

President Donald Trump is expected to attend on Tuesday the opening of a temporary migrant detention facility in Florida&#8217;s Everglades, dubbed &#8220;Alligator Alcatraz.&#8221;
What Happened: The visit underscores Trump&#8217;s aggressive immigration enforcement strategy that has triggered market volatility for companies dependent on immigrant labor, Reuters reported, citing sources.
The remote detention center earned its nickname from its location deep in the Everglades, where alligators, crocodiles and pythons provide natural security barriers with minimal staffing requirements, according to Florida officials. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem requested Trump&#8217;s attendance at the facility opening.
Federal immigration detention numbers have surged 44% to 56,000 as of June 15, up from 39,000 when Trump took office in January. The administration has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45943800/trump-orders-ice-to-launch-the-single-largest-mass-deportation-program-in-history-targeting-los-angeles-chicago-and-new-york">aggressively seeking additional detention capacity</a> to support what Trump calls &#8220;the single largest Mass Deportation Program in History.&#8221;
The White House did not immediately respond to&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

Why It Matters: Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations now arrest 2,000 immigration offenders daily, significantly exceeding the 311 daily average under former President Joe Biden. The intensified enforcement has disrupted business operations at major retailers, including The Home Depot Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>), where <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45943372/obama-calls-for-dignity-in-immigration-enforcement-as-ice-crackdown-escalates">federal raids targeted stores in California</a> without prior company notification.
Technology companies are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44882049/peter-thiels-palantir-bags-30-million-order-from-ice-for-immigrant-tracking-system">capitalizing on enforcement efforts</a>. Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) secured a $29.8 million ICE contract for its ImmigrationOS tracking system, designed to monitor visa overstays and self-deportations with &#8220;near real-time visibility.&#8221;
The Trump administration has reactivated the World War II-era Alien Registration Act, requiring all non-citizens to register with the federal government after 75 years of non-enforcement. Officials <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45943372/obama-calls-for-dignity-in-immigration-enforcement-as-ice-crackdown-escalates">estimate 3.2 million immigrants</a> remain unregistered under the new regime.
Border apprehensions have plummeted to under 10,000 monthly from over 100,000 a year ago, according to government data. Despite this decline, Trump maintains his deportation agenda, with immigration chief Tom Homan <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45943800/trump-orders-ice-to-launch-the-single-largest-mass-deportation-program-in-history-targeting-los-angeles-chicago-and-new-york">confirming 200,000 deportations over four months</a>.
