Speculators are rushing to prediction markets as a high-stake and brutal feud between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk triggers a wave of wagers on electric vehicle subsidies, Musk's government ties <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">and shifting political alliances. </a>
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) plummeted 14.26% on Thursday, erasing $152 billion in value — the electric vehicle maker&#8217;s worst single-day loss in over two years.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Trump's Tax Bill And Musk's Political Pivot</h1>
The feud broke out after Trump unveiled a sweeping tax proposal that includes eliminating federal electric vehicle subsidies — in what he dubbed "One Big Beautiful Bill."
Musk fired back on X, saying he had nothing to do with Trump's tax bill and blasting both the process and the content of the legislation, that he dubbed &#8220;Big Ugly Bill.&#8221;
"His bill was never shown to me even once and was passed in the dead of night so fast that almost no one in Congress could even read it!" Musk wrote. 
He mocked Trump's branding of the bill, saying, "In the entire history of civilization, there has never been legislation that both big and beautiful. Everyone knows this!"
Musk added that the real path forward is "slim and beautiful," not bloated government spending. He argued that cutting EV and solar incentives made sense — but only if Congress also rolled back what he called "crazy spending increases in the Big Ugly Bill."
"Congress is spending America into bankruptcy," he warned.
According to the latest Congressional Budget Office estimates, the tax bill is slated to increase the U.S. government deficit by $2.4 trillion by 2034.

Trump responded moments later, saying Musk had "gone CRAZY" after losing access to government EV mandates. "I asked him to leave," Trump posted, "and I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!)."
Trump defended the bill as one of the "greatest" ever introduced to Congress, claiming it includes a record $1.6 trillion in spending cuts and the biggest tax cut in U.S. history. He warned that failure to pass it would trigger a 68% tax increase and "things far worse than that."
Then came the real bombshell: in a separate post, Musk wrote, "Time to drop the really big bomb. Trump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public.!" He offered no evidence to support the explosive claim.

Trump countered by threatening to review all federal contracts with Musk's businesses, including SpaceX and satellite internet provider Starlink.

Musk&#8217;s push for a new political movement also caught fire. In a viral X poll, he asked users whether it was time to form a new party to represent the "80% in the middle." Out of nearly 5 million responses, 80% said yes.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy APLD Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Applied Digital &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to &#8220;go short&#8221; a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.

Trader Notes: Analysts at TheCryptoBasic <a href="https://x.com/thecryptobasic/status/1930622580639113648">suggest</a> SHIB could reach $0.000224 by June 2030 if it manages a 5% average monthly growth—a 1,766% surge from its current price of $0.00001270. 
That would push SHIB's market cap to around $132 billion, assuming no major supply dilution or pullbacks.
Other platforms like Telegaon, Changelly, and several crypto analysts also forecast a similar target between 2025 and 2031, though all emphasize that such consistent growth is rare in the volatile crypto space.
Statistics: Whale Alert <a href="https://x.com/whale_alert/status/1930750500229542238">flagged</a> a massive 3.6 trillion SHIB transfer to Coinbase Institutional, fueling speculation about potential strategic moves or sentiment shifts.

Rio Tinto Plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIO#NYSE">RIO</a>) disclosed on Thursday that it has officially inaugurated its newest <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/premarket" rel="noreferrer noopener">iron ore mine, Western Range</a>.
The Western Range is one of several replacement projects, collectively boasting an annual capacity of approximately 130 million tonnes.
The mine is designed to produce up to 25 million tonnes of iron ore annually, and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250605488902/en/Rio-Tinto-and-Baowu-open-Western-Range-iron-ore-mine-in-the-Pilbara-with-Yinhawangka-Traditional-Owners" rel="noreferrer noopener">it </a>has the potential to sustain the existing Paraburdoo mining hub for as long as two decades.
The $2 billion project, a joint venture between Rio Tinto (54%) and Baowu (46%), was finished on time and within budget.

This endeavor included constructing a primary crusher and an 18-kilometer conveyor system that connects to the existing Paraburdoo processing plant.
The new mine ensures stability for Paraburdoo&#8217;s workforce of over 880 residential and FIFO (fly-in/fly-out) employees.
The Western Range project is notable as Rio Tinto&#8217;s inaugural endeavor to incorporate a co-designed Social, Cultural and Heritage Management Plan (SCHMP) alongside the Yinhawangka Traditional Owners.
Rio Tinto Chief Executive Jakob Stausholm said, "Opening Western Range is an important step in Rio Tinto's extension plans in the Pilbara and ensures the longevity of one of our oldest mining hubs, Paraburdoo, which began operating in 1972.&#8221;
"Partnering with Baowu ensures our biggest customer directly benefits with a consistent, dedicated supply of Rio Tinto's world leading Pilbara Blend iron ore."
Notably, over the next three years (2025-2027), Rio Tinto anticipates investing more than $13 billion in new mines, plants, and equipment.
This follows an investment of approximately $8.5 billion in the Pilbara during the preceding three-year period (2022-2024).
In May, the company disclosed that Stausholm will step down from his role later this year and disclosed 2029 bauxite expansion in Queensland with a feasibility study for a 20 million tonne <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45564513/rio-tinto-ceo-jakob-stausholm-to-step-down-launches-19b-bauxite-expansion-plan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">boost to Weipa output</a>.

$1000 Invested In This Stock 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

The U.S. has some of the world's most well-known and profitable stock exchanges, but they aren't the only game in town. Many nations have well-run, lucrative stock exchanges that offer compelling investment opportunities. Some are making investors so much money that<a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/jim-cramer-says-us-stock-market-is-hideously-underperforming-compared-to-europe/ar-AA1FsyLX?ocid=winp1taskbar&amp;cvid=2210a02246f947aaf8b4901ea14290a4&amp;ei=22"> CNBC's Jim Cramer</a> recently slammed U.S. exchanges for "hideously underperforming" compared to their rivals. Is this the beginning of a global shift or just a blip on the radar?
"The money keeps going into these European stocks, and it's rather amazing,"<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/25/05/45667369/jim-cramer-praises-defense-contractor-as-great-deal-says-buy-interactive-brokers-too">Cramer</a> told CNBC's "<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/25/us-vs-european-stocks-here-is-where-jim-cramer-comes-down-on-the-debate.html">Squawk on the Street</a>." The recent trend of high-performing European exchanges traces back to President <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/05/45708977/trump-doubles-steel-tariffs-to-50-saying-it-will-secure-american-jobs-backs-us-steels-takeover-by-japans-nippon">Donald Trump's tariffs</a>, which have roiled America's stock and bond markets. According to CNBC, Germany's DAX is up 19% this year.

By contrast, CNBC noted that the S&amp;P 500 is only up 1% in 2025. That doesn't necessarily mean it's time to abandon the S&amp;P 500. No one can deny it has delivered incredible returns for investors, especially over the last decade. However, the index's strengths conceal a big potential weakness. The S&amp;P 500's gains have mostly been in the tech sector, which dominates the Magnificent Seven stocks at the top of the index.
The tech sector depends heavily on components and raw materials from China, and those products are now subject to the Trump administration's tariffs. Although negotiations between Trump and President Xi Jinping are ongoing, the uncertainty surrounding the long-term picture has rattled investor confidence in the U.S. tech sector.&nbsp;
The uncertainty surrounding big tech is not the only headwind for U.S. stocks. U.S. debt is also a concern for global investors and credit ratings agencies. Moody's downgraded U.S. credit rating only a few hours after Trump proposed a 50% tariff on EU goods. That coincided with a jump in bond yields, which caused investors worldwide to cool on the U.S. market.

Adverse market conditions and instability are not unique experiences on U.S. exchanges. They've happened before, but investors tended to hedge their bets by making commodities trades or alternative investments on U.S.-based exchanges. The game is very different now, and ironically, much of the change is due to big tech's influence on global commerce.
Investing on foreign exchanges used to be complicated. Now, all it takes is an internet connection and a few clicks on a mobile phone or computer.&nbsp; "What's happening that didn't happen then is there is an alternative," said Cramer. Increasingly, investors are turning to Europe. CNBC notes that many European stocks offer better price-to-value ratios and stronger returns. That's in addition to the ECB's more investor-friendly interest rate policy.
It's not just individual investors moving their money to Europe. CNBC also sighted research&nbsp; from investment firm KKR (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KKR#NYSE">KKR</a>), which said, "Many [chief investment officers] are considering moving assets out of the United States towards other parts of the world." The fact that large institutional investors are also moving their money to Europe means it's more than just a question of convenience.

Europe offers solid options if you're an investor searching for an alternative to U.S. exchanges. Cramer believes Europe is "safer and more predictable" and says it "can continue to climb given the momentum." Despite that, the recent productivity in the European markets doesn't necessarily mean a permanent power shift is in the cards.
CNBC noted that the U.S. market is still twice as large as Europe's, and still has quality options for investors. It may seem counterintuitive, but moments of market instability often carry the best opportunities for investors to buy stocks with upside at a discounted price. Despite his criticism, Cramer still believes in the U.S. market and its long-term potential. "There are tons of stocks I would like to buy if the prices come down," he said.
