BP plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BP#NYSE">BP</a>) announced Friday that it will <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bp.com/en/global/corporate/news-and-insights/press-releases/bp-agrees-to-sell-us-onshore-wind-business-to-ls-power.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">sell its entire U.S. onshore wind energy portfolio</a> to LS Power, a New York-based energy infrastructure firm. This move is part of a broader strategy to streamline operations and prioritize targeted low-carbon investments.
The deal covers 10 wind farms across seven states with a total capacity of 1.3 gigawatts. This move is part of BP&#8217;s $20 billion divestment plan, which aims to refocus capital allocation.
William Lin, executive vice president for gas and low carbon energy at BP, said the assets and workforce were strong, but the company concluded that &#8220;we are no longer the best owners to take it forward.&#8221; He expressed confidence in LS Power&#8217;s ability to scale the wind business while supporting bp&#8217;s transitioning staff.

LS Power plans to integrate the wind projects into its clean energy portfolio, which already spans 21GW of power generation and extensive transmission infrastructure. Paul Segal, CEO of LS Power, described the acquisition as a strategic expansion to meet rising energy demand through well-contracted renewable assets.
The sale is expected to close by year-end, pending regulatory approvals. So far in 2025, BP has completed or signed $1.5 billion in divestments and aims to hit $3–4 billion by year-end, with further updates due in its second-quarter earnings report.
This decision follows BP&#8217;s recent warning about a potential earnings dip tied to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46365707/bp-braces-for-profit-hit-as-oil-prices-decline" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">sliding oil prices</a>, highlighting the company&#8217;s pivot toward more resilient and efficient operations.
Investors may also consider the iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ICLN#NASDAQ">ICLN</a>) and the First Trust Global Wind Energy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FAN#NYSE">FAN</a>) for broader exposure.
Price Action: At the last check on Friday, BP shares were trading higher by 0.31% to $32.19 premarket.

Anduril Industries founder Palmer Luckey says his defense‑tech company may one day launch an American‑made line of personal computers, reviving a capability that faded after giants such as Dell Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>) shuttered U.S. plants in the 2000s.
What Happened: "I think there's a chance it's going to be Anduril," Luckey <a href="https://x.com/reindsummit/status/1945886411099402508">said</a> at the Reindustrialize Summit this week, noting talks with chipmakers, assemblers and other suppliers.
Luckey, who addressed the Detroit conference via telepresence robot, cautioned that the effort would hinge on outside partners. "Some things Anduril has to do; other things we'd rather have other people do." He ruled out building the firm's own humanoid robot, saying collaboration delivers tools faster.
Luckey mentioned that Anduril has held conversations with &#8220;everyone you would need to have to do that,&#8221; including people &#8220;on the chip side, on the assembly side, on the manufacturing side.&#8221;
U.S.‑built PCs are not novel. Dell once ran assembly lines in Miami, Nashville and Winston‑Salem, North Carolina, but closed the latter in 2009 as production moved abroad, reports Reuters.

Why It Matters: Anduril, founded in 2017, has grown around autonomous drones, underwater vehicles and its AI‑driven Lattice battlefield software. The company recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/market-summary/25/06/45810158/anduril-raises-2-5-billion-at-30-5-billion-valuation-doubling-in-a-year-as-defense-contracts-grow">raised $2.5 billion</a> at a $30.5 billion valuation and is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/ipos/25/06/45877601/anduril-ceo-palmer-luckey-confirms-ipo-plans-to-compete-for-trillion-dollar-defense-contracts-we-are-definitely-going-to-be-a-publicly-traded">eyeing an IPO</a> to chase "trillion‑dollar" Pentagon work.
Contracts are piling up. The Marine Corps awarded Anduril a 10‑year deal worth up to $642 million for counter‑drone systems in March this year, <a href="https://www.defenseone.com/business/2025/03/anduril-wins-642m-marines-counter-drone-tech-contract/403635/">says</a> Defense One, while the Pentagon last fall signed a $250 million order for the firm's reusable Roadrunner interceptor. The Army has also tapped Anduril to supply small uncrewed aircraft systems to brigade units.
On the tech front, Anduril is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/05/45687185/mark-zuckerbergs-meta-reunites-with-palmer-luckey-to-equip-us-soldiers-with-eagleeye-an-ai-powered-combat-headset-that-can-detect-drones">partnering with Meta</a> to build extended‑reality combat headsets that plug into Lattice and has linked with Germany's Rheinmetall to co‑develop autonomous air systems for Europe.
Whether Anduril ultimately stamps "Made in America" on a desktop or laptop remains uncertain. Luckey joked that the machine's working codename is "pro‑American and a gambling reference," adding that it will only ship if domestic partners can beat overseas rivals on cost and security.

Palmer Luckey Says 'There's A Chance' Anduril Launches American-Made Computers Soon, Rules Out Chance Of A Humanoid Robot

Elon Musk-led artificial intelligence company, xAI, unveiled new technology that will help the company "sustainably" cool its Memphis data center.
What Happened: Taking to social media platform X on Thursday, the company announced it was constructing "the world's largest ceramic membrane bioreactor (MBR) to sustainably supply 13 million gallons per day of cooling water to our Colossus Supercomputer."
A Membrane Bioreactor is a combination of technologies used in wastewater treatment by microfiltration or ultrafiltration with a biological wastewater treatment process in which biological organisms or enzymes are used to filter the water.
xAI says the cooling apparatus will use untreated wastewater from a nearby wastewater treatment plant to cool the Colossus Supercomputer facility.

Elon Musk's xAI Unveils 'Sustainable' Way To Cool Memphis Data Center Amid Criticism From Environmental Rights Groups

Amid the raging controversy over the Jeffrey Epstein client list, cryptocurrency bettors increased their odds that the Trump administration would release undisclosed files related to the convicted sex offender by the end of the month.
What happened: The Polymarket odds for the betting contract titled "Will Trump release more Epstein files before August?" <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/will-trump-release-more-epstein-files-before-august?tid=1752821078320">jumped </a>11 percentage points to 22% in the last 24 hours.&nbsp;
Furthermore, the odds of the files being disclosed by the end of August climbed by 7 percentage points to 48%, while the odds of them being released before year-end rose 15 percentage points to 65%.
Bookmakers have wagered more than $156,000 on the July 31 bet. This market will resolve to &#8220;Yes&#8221; if the government publicly releases any files pertaining to the illegal activities of Epstein.
Polymarket, based on Polygon (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">POL</a>), allows users to buy "Yes" and "No" shares using USDC (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>) stablecoin. The shares representing the correct outcome are paid out $1 USDC each upon resolution.
Note that Polymarket is currently unavailable to U.S. residents due to regulatory restrictions.

Why It Matters: The fluctuations come after Trump threatened to sue the Wall Street Journal over a <a href="https://www.wsj.com/">report</a> alleging that he sent a lewd birthday letter to Epstein in 2003, three years before the latter was arrested for prostitution-related offenses.
Trump called the report &#8220;fake&#8221; on his Truth Social platform and added that those were not his words.

Trump also asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to release some files from Epstein&#8217;s criminal case related to his grand jury testimony.
The Epstein controversy is heating up by the day, with prominent personalities such as tech mogul Elon Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46475554/why-is-donald-trump-ignoring-elon-musks-call-for-phase-2-of-the-epstein-files">escalating pressure on Trump</a> over the disclosures and demanding transparency in the high-profile case.

Jeffrey Epstein Row: Polymarket Bettors See Higher Odds Of Trump Administration Releasing Undisclosed Documents This Month

A group of U.S. solar panel manufacturers has called on the Commerce Department&nbsp;to impose tariffs on imports&nbsp;from Indonesia, India, and Laos. The manufacturers allege that these countries are saturating the market with low-cost goods.
What Happened: The group, known as the Alliance for American Solar Manufacturing and Trade, which includes First Solar (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NASDAQ">FSLR</a>), Qcells, the solar division of Hanwha from Korea, Talon PV and Mission Solar, accuses these countries of selling solar cells below production cost in the U.S. market.
The petition also alleges that Chinese-owned firms have relocated production to Indonesia and Laos to evade U.S. tariffs and accuses Indian manufacturers of similar practices.
Check out the current price of&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.com/quote/FSLR" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">FSLR stock here</a>.
The group has previously succeeded in securing tariffs on imports from Southeast Asia, including Malaysia, Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand. The petition claims that imports from the three nations under scrutiny increased from $289 million in 2022 to $1.6 billion last year.
&#8220;We&nbsp;have always said, vigorous enforcement&nbsp;of our trade laws is&nbsp;critical to the success of&nbsp;this industry," said&nbsp;Tim Brightbill, lead attorney for&nbsp;the petitioners.

Why It Matters: U.S. solar manufacturing capacity has expanded notably since the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act introduced tax credits to encourage reduced dependence on Chinese-made products. However, the current production levels still fall short of meeting the overall demand of the U.S. solar market. 
Earlier in July, President Donald Trump&#8216;s &#8216;One Big Beautiful Bill&#8217; was&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/07/46300815/solar-stocks-get-a-reprieve-as-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-lands-softer-than-feared">expected to impact</a>&nbsp;the renewable energy sector. However, the impact on key players was predicted to be less severe than initially feared.
Notably, Chinese solar companies are facing growing challenges in the U.S. due to rising anti-China sentiment and stricter regulations. Before that, in May, the security of U.S. solar companies was&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45429266/solar-security-alert-communication-devices-discovered-in-chinese-inverters-heres-the-stocks-that-could-be-affected">brought into focus</a>&nbsp;as Chinese polysilicon communication devices were found in critical renewable energy infrastructure, sparking national security concerns.
A newly signed tax and spending bill under President Trump further tightens restrictions on Chinese involvement in the American energy sector, alongside a Section 232 investigation into Chinese polysilicon.
Despite these challenges, the U.S. solar industry has continued to grow, with the Commerce Department&nbsp;<a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/us-solar-panel-makers-seek-tariffs-imports-indonesia-india-laos-2025-07-17/">expected to decide</a>&nbsp;on&nbsp;whether to initiate an investigation&nbsp;into imposing tariffs within 20 days.

First Solar, Other US Solar Firms Urge Trump Administration To Impose Tariffs On Solar Cell Imports From Indonesia, India, Laos

Deutsche Bank has significantly raised its stock price target for MP Materials Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MP#NYSE">MP</a>) following a strategic investment from the Defense Department and a substantial contract with Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>).
What Happened: Deutsche Bank has more than tripled its stock price target for MP Materials, a rare-earth miner. The company&#8217;s shares are now projected to rise to $67, a substantial increase from the previous target of $20. This new target suggests an 11.18% upside from the closing price of $60.26 per share on Thursday, as <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/17/mp-materials-defense-department-pentagon-apple-rare-earth-critical-mineral.html">reported</a> by CNBC.
The Pentagon&#8217;s strategic investment in MP Materials and Apple&#8217;s $500 million deal to purchase rare earth magnets from the company have significantly reduced the company&#8217;s operational risks, according to Deutsche Bank analyst&nbsp;Corinne Blanchard.
Blanchard stated, &#8220;The&nbsp;stock has now priced in&nbsp;the catalyst, and other potential&nbsp;catalysts are on the medium-term,&#8221; as she maintained the hold rating on MP.

Why It Matters: The rare earth minerals industry has been under the spotlight due to the U.S. government&#8217;s efforts to reduce its reliance on Chinese supply. This has led to a surge in the stock prices of companies in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46429330/why-usa-rare-earth-usar-stock-is-skyrocketing-today">domestic critical minerals sector</a>, such as&nbsp;USA Rare Earth Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USAR#NASDAQ">USAR</a>)
Despite the challenges, experts believe that the U.S. has&nbsp;multiple options to establish a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45005825/us-has-tons-of-solutions-to-secure-rare-earth-production-if-china-halts-exports-experts-say-but-warn-of-significant-challenges">domestic supply chain</a> for rare earths&nbsp;within the next five years to replace China&#8217;s global monopoly. This includes substitutes for the seven restricted rare earths and the majority of the 17 rare earth elements and 50 critical minerals being present in the U.S.
As the U.S. faces a critical vulnerability in its supply chain concerning <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46214341/china-showed-its-death-grip-on-rare-earths-during-trump-tariff-war-but-craig-shapiro-says-this-2-billion-plan-will-secure-us-supply-heres-how">rare earth supply</a>, economist&nbsp;Craig Shapiro&nbsp;asserts that this situation is fixable, and at a surprisingly manageable cost. This is evident in the recent developments at MP Materials, which have positioned the company as a strategic asset for the U.S.
Price Action: Apple closed Thursday at $210.02, slipping 0.06%, and edged up 0.10% in after-hours trading. MP Materials finished the day at $60.26, rising 2.92%, with an additional 0.56% gain after hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Apple's $500 Million Rare Earth Deal With MP Materials Pushes Deutsche Bank To Triple Price Target — Analyst Says Catalyst 'Priced In'

Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>) Labs, has hailed the passage of the GENIUS Act as a &#8220;transformational legislation&#8221; that marks a historic turning point for the U.S. financial sector, drawing parallels to the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010.
What Happened: In a post on X, Garlinghouse celebrated the bill's 308-122 House approval, noting it ends a 15-year gap since the last major financial regulation, positioning the U.S. as a leader in innovative financial technology, particularly stablecoins.
The Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins or GENIUS Act, set for signing by President Donald Trump on Friday afternoon at the White House, establishes a regulatory framework for stablecoins—cryptocurrencies pegged to assets like the U.S. dollar.
Garlinghouse, whose company's XRP Ledger underpins the XRP cryptocurrency, recently hit a new all-time high of $$3.84, sees this as a boon for Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin.
He thanked bipartisan leaders, including Rep. French Hill and Speaker Johnson, for their support, reflecting the bill's unexpected cross-party backing.
Garlinghouse's comparison to Dodd-Frank, enacted post-2008 financial crisis, underscores the GENIUS Act's significance.
While Dodd-Frank aimed to stabilize traditional finance, the new legislation targets the crypto boom, with the stablecoin market projected to reach $1.6-$3.7 trillion by 2030, <a href="https://commonwealthchamber.com/citi-eyes-stablecoin-launch-as-it-predicts-3-7t-market-by-2030/#:~:text=The%20bank's%20research%20arm%2C%20Citi,are%20exploring%20crypto%20custody%20solutions.">per</a> Citigroup.

The company added that this offer can be availed on top of the $7,500 EV credit that's valid until 30 September.

However, Tesla sales <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46436501/ev-prices-drop-2-8-in-june-as-incentives-surge-amid-tumbling-tesla-sales">are still down in the U.S.</a> as the company experienced a 6% YoY decline in domestic sales, but remained the segment leader with a 44% market share.
The U.S. decline comes after the automaker released data showcasing a <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46239998/dan-ives-hails-teslas-better-than-expected-q2-deliveries-says-fireworks-come-early-for-elon-musk-led-ev-giant">better-than-expected performance</a> in Q2 2025, as Tesla achieved 384,212 deliveries, largely driven by the Model Y and the Model 3.

As Trump Axes EV Incentives, Elon Musk's Tesla Announces New Offers Amid Sluggish US Sales

The current artificial intelligence (AI) frenzy could potentially trigger a market crash more severe than the dot-com bubble burst of 1999, according to a leading economist.
What Happened: Torsten Sløk, Chief Economist at Apollo Global Management, voiced his concerns about the inflated valuation of AI technology in a recent research note, as reported by <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/07/17/ai-bubble-vs-dot-com-stocks-apollo-economist-torsten-slok/">Fortune</a>.
Sløk noted, &#8220;The difference between the IT bubble in the 1990s and the <a href="https://fortune.com/2024/12/02/ai-optimists-are-behaving-like-investors-who-got-burned-in-great-depression-and-dot-com-bubble-vanguard-chief-economist-warns-stock-markets/">AI bubble</a> today is that the top 10 companies in the S&amp;P 500 today are more overvalued than they were in the 1990s."
Heavy investment in AI has resulted in a disconnection between stock prices and earnings for companies such as Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Microsoft Corp. (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>).
Sløk presented a chart comparing the 12-month forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios of the S&amp;P 500's top 10 companies with those of the rest of the index and the overall S&amp;P 500, indicating a bubble potentially even larger than during the dot-com era.
Despite the S&amp;P hitting new records and approaching its all-time high, Sløk contends that the rally is largely driven by gains in the top 10 stocks. He warns that investors are getting caught up in the hype and paying inflated prices as if these companies&#8217; promises are guaranteed, which could ultimately trigger a major market crash.
Sløk cautioned that the 1990s showed us not all promises can — or will — be fulfilled. He also noted that although many of these top companies are profitable, their fundamentals do not justify the multiples.

Why It Matters: Sløk is not the only prominent figure to have raised concerns about the AI bubble. Earlier this year,&nbsp;Alibaba&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) Chairman&nbsp;Joe Tsai&nbsp;warned about a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44469333/alibabas-tsai-sounds-alarm-on-signs-of-ai-bubble-people-are-building-data-centers-on-speculation">potential bubble</a> in the AI data center construction sector. He cautioned that the rapid expansion of data centers could surpass the early demand for AI services.
In a similar vein, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella compared the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43838071/microsoft-ceo-satya-nadella-warns-of-dot-com-like-ai-bubble-pushes-for-measuring-ai-impact-with-gdp-growth-self-claiming-agi-milestone-is-just-nonsensical-benchmark-hacking">current AI frenzy </a>to the dot-com bubble and pushed for measuring AI&#8217;s impact with GDP growth. Billionaire investor Ray Dalio also raised alarms over the soaring valuations of U.S. AI stocks, warning of a potential bubble fueled by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43259076/billionaire-investor-ray-dalio-sounds-alarm-on-potential-ai-stock-bubble-akin-to-dotcom-crash-very-similar-to-where-we-were-between-1998-or-1999">high prices</a> and interest rate risks.
Despite these warnings, the AI sector continues to attract significant attention. Tech analyst&nbsp;Dan Ives&nbsp;recently&nbsp;listed his top five picks for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46463595/dan-ives-picks-5-stocks-for-2nd-half-of-2025-nvidia-palantir-microsoft-and-more-golden-age-of-tech-is-here-with-ai-revolution">second half </a>of 2025, reiterating that the &#8220;golden age of tech&#8221; was here with the AI revolution at the forefront.
On a year-to-date basis, First Trust Nasdaq AI and Robotics ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROBT#NASDAQ">ROBT</a>), Invesco AI and Next Gen Software ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IGPT#NYSE">IGPT</a>) and Global X Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BOTZ#NASDAQ">BOTZ</a>) surged 9.72%, 9.48% and 2.75%, respectively.

'Overvalued' AI Stocks Like Nvidia, Microsoft May Trigger Market Crash Worse Than The Dot-Com Bubble, Economist Warns

The Donald Trump administration is reportedly preparing a sweeping executive order aimed at curbing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37763969/elon-musk-says-woke-ai-like-google-gemini-can-be-deadly-it-will-do-whatever-it-can-potentially-even">perceived liberal bias</a> in artificial intelligence models used by government contractors.
What Happened: The White House plans to require AI companies receiving federal contracts to ensure their models are politically neutral, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/white-house-prepares-executive-order-targeting-woke-ai-e68e8e24?mod=tech_lead_pos2">reported</a> the Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter.
The upcoming executive order is part of a broader agenda led by Trump's top tech advisers, David Sacks and Sriram Krishnan, both of whom have raised concerns about "woke" outputs from popular AI systems.
The order targets what administration officials view as left-leaning bias in AI-generated content, including controversial depictions of historical figures and politically charged responses to prompts.

For instance, 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>) Google Gemini model previously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37256429/gemini-ai-takes-a-timeout-google-halts-image-generation-after-historical-figure-controversy">came under fire</a> for generating racially diverse images of Nazis and depicting George Washington as Black.
The executive order would apply to any AI firm seeking federal contracts, potentially forcing major tech players to adjust how they train and fine-tune large language models.
Political neutrality could become a requirement for AI used in federal agencies, marking a significant regulatory shift, the report said.
This order is expected to be part of a broader AI initiative from the Trump administration, which includes promoting U.S. chip exports, streamlining data center permitting and expanding energy production to support AI infrastructure.
Why It's Important: With major firms like Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Google, Anthropic and Elon Musk's xAI vying for government AI contracts, the executive order could have a profound impact on how models are developed and deployed.
While it may appeal to conservative <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46162898/elon-musk-stopped-believing-in-mars-dream-as-a-political-project-in-2024-says-peter-theil-amid-woke-ai-and-socialist-government-fears">critics of &#8220;woke AI,&#8221;</a> it's likely to raise alarms across Silicon Valley, where developers warn that political constraints could hamper innovation.
Earlier this year, companies like Coca-Cola Co. and PepsiCo Inc., both significant government contractors, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43737860/coca-cola-pepsico-adjust-dei-policies-following-trump-executive-order-report">adjusted their diversity, equity, and inclusion</a> strategies in response to an executive order issued by Trump.
Last month, a federal judge ruled that the Trump administration's decision to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/06/45990612/trump-administration-illegally-slashed-over-1-billion-in-nih-grants-mostly-linked-to-dei-federal-judge-rules-report">revoke over $1 billion</a> in NIH research grants—mainly affecting diversity-focused studies—was unlawful.

SLB To Report Lower Q2 Earnings; These Most Accurate Analysts Revise Forecasts Ahead Of Earnings Call

Former Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) bull Ross Gerber is pushing back against a reported partnership between rideshare service Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) and automaker Lucid Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LCID#NASDAQ">LCID</a>).
What Happened: On Thursday, in a post on X, Gerber referred to the partnership as being driven by external pressure, rather than market logic.
&#8220;Uber is partnering with Lucid to launch some sort of robotaxi of its own,&#8221; Gerber says, referring to the company&#8217;s plans to deploy 20,000 or more Lucid vehicles over the next six years.

Gerber, however, believes that this is &#8220;basically a forced marriage from the Saudis to get Uber to buy their cars,&#8221; since the Middle-Eastern state&#8217;s Public Investment Fund (PIF) has been the majority stakeholder in the U.S.-based automotive startup since 2019.
He calls this an obvious &#8220;weak response&#8221; to the growing competition from Tesla and Waymo by Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>), as competition intensifies in autonomous ridesharing.

Charles Schwab Earnings Are Imminent; These Most Accurate Analysts Revise Forecasts Ahead Of Earnings Call

As the stock market has been scaling new records despite President Donald Trump&#8216;s ongoing tariff disputes, this expert points out a new &#8220;feedback loop&#8221; fueled by TACO &#8211; &#8216;Trump Always Chickens Out&#8217; trade on Wall Street that has kept the equities near their all-time highs.
What Happened: According to Justin Wolfers, a professor at the University of Michigan and senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, there&#8217;s an ongoing problem with the &#8220;Wall Street → White House → Wall Street feedback loop.&#8221;
In a video excerpt shared via his X account, Wolfers highlights that Trump listens to the Wall Street &#8220;very, very closely.&#8221; He explains, back in April, Trump &#8220;announced an absolutely horrible policy, Wall Street tanked, and then he backed off. That&#8217;s what led to the while TACO &#8211; Trump Always Chickens Out remark.&#8221;
Building on this example from April, Wolfers continues to stress that Wall Street believes that Trump always chickens out, but &#8220;we don&#8217;t know about always, we know that he has done it once,&#8221; he adds.
Thus, Wolfers infers that &#8220;Wall Street believes that he is going to chicken out and therefore Wall Street is not tanking. Because Wall Street is not tanking, Trump&#8217;s not chickening out.&#8221;
This comes as Trump has threatened the possibility of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/07/46427360/peter-schiff-gives-trumps-30-tariff-threat-on-mexico-eu-a-reality-check-america-relies-on-deficits-t">30% blanket tariffs</a> on European Union and Mexican goods starting Aug. 1. He had also threatened sweeping <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/07/46334793/trump-sends-lula-a-letter-imposing-50-tariffs-calls-bolsonaro-trial-a-witch-hunt-brazils-president-hits-back-will-not-accept-any-form-of-tutelage">50% tariffs</a> on imports from Brazil.
Wolfers further highlights that this time, Trump may actually &#8220;charge these tariffs,&#8221; underscoring that &#8220;making policy by listening to Wall Street is a bad idea.&#8221;
He also adds that &#8220;Most American corporations are starting to see some pressure on their profit margins, and so if he&#8217;s not gonna hear from Wall Street, hopefully at least he&#8217;ll be listening to big businesses.&#8221;

Why It Matters: TACO Trade is an acronym that gained prominence in May 2025 after many threats and reversals during the trade turmoil initiated by Trump with his administration&#8217;s &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; tariffs.
Earlier, experts like Nigam Arora have also cautioned investors against the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45909542/taco-traders-unfazed-but-prudent-investors-pay-attention-to-trumps-latest-plan-and-iran-cooler-p">TACO trend</a>. He said in June that &#8220;prudent investors should be prepared for a scenario of President Trump not chickening out.&#8221; 
While the new Aug. 1 deadline for tariffs nears, it remains to be seen if Trump will chicken out once again.

TACO Paradox: Justin Wolfers Explains 'New Loop' — Wall Street Is Not Tanking Expecting Trump To 'Chicken Out', But He's 'Not Chickening Out' Because Wall Street Isn't Tanking

The Trump administration will give Immigration and Customs Enforcement access to the personal data of nearly 79 million Medicaid enrollees, a trove that includes names, addresses, birth dates, race and ethnicity, and Social Security numbers, according to an agreement obtained by The Associated Press.
What Happened: Homeland Security officials <a href="https://apnews.com/article/immigration-medicaid-trump-ice-ab9c2267ce596089410387bfcb40eeb7">tell</a> AP that the deal with the Centers for Medicare &amp; Medicaid Services will help verify that undocumented immigrants are not using the program, even though federal law already bars most from full Medicaid coverage.
ICE analysts may query the database only on weekdays between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. and cannot download files, but critics fear the information will guide large‑scale raids.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta is <a href="https://oag.ca.gov/news/press-releases/attorney-general-bonta-trump-administration%E2%80%99s-unprecedented-move-allow-ice?">seeking</a> an immediate court order to block the hand‑over, calling it an &#8220;unprecedented&#8221; privacy breach that will deter families from seeking medical care. Nineteen states, including New York and Oregon, joined an earlier lawsuit arguing the plan violates the Medicaid Act and the Tenth Amendment.

Advocates note that emergency Medicaid already covers anyone needing life‑saving treatment regardless of status and warn that the new cross‑check amounts to a deportation dragnet. "It is devastating to think that individuals may not seek essential medical care because they are afraid that if they do so, they may be targeted by this Administration,&#8221; Bonta said.
Why It Matters: The Medicaid pact surfaces the same week Politico revealed the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/07/46439064/irs-engineers-build-secret-tool-so-ice-can-bypass-legal-review-and-pull-real-time-immigrant-address-data-report">quietly building software</a> that would let ICE pull taxpayer addresses and phone numbers on demand — a project privacy lawyers say could upend long‑standing limits on sharing return data.
The report reveals that the IRS tool was green‑lit after the agency ousted its acting general counsel for resisting a similar request covering 7.3 million records.
The twin data flows could merge into what Bonta refers to as a "mass‑deportation machine" just as the White House pushes to <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">remove 3,000 people</a> per day.
