Alphabet Inc.&#8217;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 has finalized a $2.4 billion agreement to license technology from AI coding startup Windsurf. This deal also includes hiring Windsurf&#8217;s CEO and a select group of its employees.
What Happened: Google has reached a $2.4 billion deal with Windsurf, an AI coding startup, according to a report <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/google-to-pay-2-4-billion-in-deal-to-license-tech-of-coding-startup-hire-ceo-b9b94bbc">by</a> The Wall Street Journal. The agreement involves licensing technology and hiring the company's CEO, Varun Mohan, cofounder Douglas Chen and some of the company's key R&amp;D employees to bring them to the Google DeepMind team.
This development comes after OpenAI attempted to acquire Windsurf for $3 billion. However, negotiations fell through due to objections from Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), OpenAI&#8217;s largest investor, particularly concerning access to Windsurf&#8217;s technology.

Google&#8217;s arrangement will see a small number of Windsurf employees join its DeepMind division to work on agentic coding. The tech giant will gain a nonexclusive license to some of Windsurf's technology but will not acquire any equity in the startup. Most Windsurf employees will remain with the company.

Why It Matters: The backdrop to this deal is a fierce competition among tech giants to dominate the AI landscape. Earlier this year, OpenAI had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45224667/microsoft-backed-openai-buys-windsurf-for-3-billion-to-strengthen-ai-coding-power">agreed to acquire Windsurf</a> for $3 billion. However, the acquisition fell apart, as noted by TechCrunch, when Microsoft, a key investor in OpenAI, raised <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/07/11/windsurfs-ceo-goes-to-google-openais-acquisition-falls-apart/">concerns</a> about access to Windsurf&#8217;s technology.
The failed acquisition attempt by OpenAI underscores the competitive nature of Silicon Valley, where major tech companies are in a race to secure top AI talent. Google previously invested $2.7 billion to hire former researcher Noam Shazeer and license technology from Character.AI, a startup he founded.

Google Beats OpenAI, Secures Windsurf Technology, CEO And Key Staff For $2.4 Billion

The Donald Trump administration has initiated the dismissal of over 1,350 employees from the State Department. This action, which affects both civil service and foreign service officers, is part of a broader restructuring initiated under the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), initially under Elon Musk.
What Happened: The layoffs, which commenced on Friday, are set to impact 1,107 civil service and 246 foreign service officers stationed in the U.S. This decision has drawn criticism from various quarters, with detractors arguing that it could weaken the U.S.&#8217;s ability to counter global threats.
These layoffs come at a time when the U.S. is facing several international crises, including the conflict in Ukraine, the Gaza conflict, and escalating tensions in the Middle East due to the Israel-Iran standoff, Reuters reported.
An internal State Department notice stated that the layoffs are part of a plan to streamline domestic operations and focus on diplomatic priorities. The overall workforce reduction, including voluntary departures, is expected to be nearly 3,000 out of the 18,000 employees based in the U.S.

This move is the first step in a restructuring effort by President Trump to realign U.S. foreign policy with his &#8220;America First&#8221; agenda. However, according to reports, critics, including former diplomats, have voiced concerns that the dismissal of foreign service officers could compromise the U.S.&#8217;s ability to counter the growing assertiveness of countries like China and Russia.
Why It Matters: This is not the first instance of the Trump administration implementing significant staff reductions. In May, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/05/45599865/white-house-national-security-council-faces-staff-reductions-as-part-of-major-restructuring-report">White House National Security Council saw a substantial reduction in its workforce</a>, with dozens of employees dismissed.
The administration has also faced legal challenges over its restructuring plans, such as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/05/45326217/trumps-hhs-overhaul-faces-legal-blowback-from-states-over-deep-staffing-cuts-slashed-programs">HHS overhaul, which was met with legal blowback from states</a> over deep staffing cuts and slashed health programs.
The Trump administration&#8217;s plans for mass federal workforce reduction received a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46313304/trumps-federal-job-cuts-gets-supreme-court-go-ahead-doge-outpaces-big-tech-in-layoffs-across-us-bureaucracy">key legal green light from the U.S. Supreme Court</a>. This ruling removed a legal barrier to the administration&#8217;s plans, potentially affecting tens of thousands of government employees and reshaping bureaucratic operations across various sectors.
These developments underscore the impact of the Trump administration&#8217;s restructuring efforts on the federal workforce and U.S. diplomatic and security operations.

Trump Administration Lays Off Over 1,350 State Department Employees After Getting Supreme Court Go-Ahead

The U.S. Treasury Department has reported that the country&#8217;s customs duty collections have surpassed $100 billion for the first time in a fiscal year.
What Happened: The U.S. Treasury Department revealed that the customs duty collections for June 2025 reached a record $27 billion. This has resulted in a surprising budget surplus of $27 billion for the month, Reuters reported. The surge in collections is attributed to President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariffs, which are now a significant revenue source for the federal government.
For the first nine months of fiscal 2025, the customs duty collections reached records of $113.3 billion on a gross basis and $108 billion on a net basis, nearly double the previous year&#8217;s collections.
Trump&#8217;s tariffs have now become the fourth-largest revenue source for the federal government, behind individual withheld receipts, non-withheld individual receipts, and corporate taxes.

Despite the June budget surplus, the overall year-to-date deficit has increased by 5% to $1.337 trillion, with outlays rising for health care programs, Social Security retirement benefits, defense spending, debt interest, and the Department of Homeland Security.
Why It Matters: This news comes on the heels of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/07/46190450/tariffs-propel-us-customs-revenue-to-a-record-106-billion-since-trumps-inauguration">collecting over $106 billion in customs revenue</a> since Trump&#8217;s inauguration, with a significant portion attributed to the administration&#8217;s tariffs.
The CBP achieved a success rate of over 99.5% in collecting customs duties and tariffs, and the department recovered an additional $16.3 billion in revenue by targeting over 35,000 shipments identified as high-risk for duty evasion or requiring further payments.
Earlier in April, U.S. customs revenue surged to an all-time high, delivering at least $15 billion in customs duties for the month, a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44979972/us-treasury-hits-record-15-billion-in-customs-and-excise-tax-haul-amid-trumps-trade-policies">more than 60% increase over previous periods</a>.

Amid Trump Tariffs, US Customs Duty Collection Exceeds $100 Billion In A Fiscal Year For The First Time: Report

Elon Musk has rejected reports that his artificial intelligence venture xAI is gearing up for a new fundraising round.
A report had suggested that the company is looking at a funding round that could value the company between $170 billion and $200 billion.
What Happened: Saudi Arabia&#8217;s Public Investment Fund (PIF) was reported to play a crucial role in this deal, according to<a href="https://www.ft.com/content/25aab987-c2a1-4fca-8883-38a617269b68"> a</a> Financial Times report. PIF already has an indirect stake in xAI through its investment in Kingdom Holdings Company, which has committed $800 million to the firm.
Amid these reports, Musk commented on X, stating, &#8220;xAI is not seeking funding right now. We have plenty of capital.&#8221;

In late June, Morgan Stanley disclosed that xAI had completed a $5 billion debt raise and a separate $5 billion strategic equity investment. This move is part of the startup&#8217;s strategy to enhance its AI infrastructure through data centers amid increasing competition.

Elon Musk Rejects Reports That xAI Is Looking To Raise Additional Funds At $200 Billion Valuation: 'We Have Plenty Of Capital'

A preliminary report by the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) has identified a cut in the fuel supply to the engines as a contributing factor to the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45899174/boeing-dreamliner-carrying-over-200-passengers-crashes-shortly-after-takeoff-near-indias-ahmedabad-ba-stock-falls-over-5-in-thursday-pre-market"> Air India crash</a> involving the Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) 787 Dreamliner that resulted in the loss of 260 lives.
What Happened: The tragic incident occurred when the engine fuel cutoff switches flipped, leading to a loss of engine power, according to a Reuters report on Friday.
&nbsp;The fuel cutoff switches "transitioned from RUN to CUTOFF position one after another with a time gap of 01 sec," according to the preliminary report.
"In the cockpit voice recording, one of the pilots is heard asking the other why did he cutoff. The other pilot responded that he did not do so," the report adds.
The Boeing 787 Dreamliner was on a flight from Ahmedabad to London when it lost thrust shortly after takeoff. India&#8217;s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) reported no apparent fault by Boeing or engine manufacturer GE Aerospace (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>).
In 2018, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin (SAIB) regarding the potential disengagement of the fuel control switch locking feature based on reports from operators of Model 737 airplanes that the fuel control switches were installed with the locking feature disengaged.
The AAIB report adds that the airworthiness concern was not considered an unsafe condition that would warrant an airworthiness directive (AD) by the FAA. Air India did not conduct the suggested inspections as the SAIB was advisory and not mandatory

The crash presents a significant challenge to the Tata Group as it strives to enhance Air India&#8217;s reputation. The report highlighted the activation of a backup energy source, indicating engine power loss.
Cockpit voice recordings revealed a pilot questioning the fuel cutoff, with the other denying any action.
Commanding pilot Sumeet Sabharwal and co-pilot Clive Kunder were experienced, with 15,638 and 3,403 flying hours, respectively. The report did not clarify how the switches flipped. U.S. aviation experts noted the improbability of accidental switch movement.
The AAIB leads the investigation, with the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board and Federal Aviation Administration involved.
Why It Matters: The crash has put a spotlight on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45940768/boeings-troubled-2000s-from-a-sweetheart-1-1b-deal-before-deadly-air-india-crash-to-stranding-astronauts-at-iss-and-airline-crashes">Boeing&#8217;s ongoing challenges</a>, as India&#8217;s aviation ministry<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45919464/boeing-faces-fresh-turmoil-as-india-mulls-787-8-grounding-after-fatal-crash-ceo-kelly-cancels-paris-trip-report"> considered grounding the Boeing 787 8 fleet</a>.
The incident had also reignited discussions about Boeing&#8217;s troubled history, including past safety concerns and legal issues.
The investigation faced controversy when <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46133937/boeing-787-dreamliner-crash-india-shuts-door-on-un-aviation-expert-probing-plane-accident">India denied a UN Aviation investigator</a> the opportunity to join the probe.

Air India's Boeing 787 Crashed Because Of This Known Issue That FAA Flagged Years Ago: '...Fuel Supply To The Engines Was Cut Off'

Dave Ramsey has heard it all over the years, but one recent call on &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oijVVXJ0aKg">The Ramsey Show</a>&#8221; caught him completely off guard. What started as a routine budgeting question turned into a tense exchange that left both Ramsey and co-host George Kamel visibly shaken.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Budgeting Strains And A Life-Altering Diagnosis</h2>
The caller explained that he and his wife had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-create-a-budget">started budgeting</a> and were working toward <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/07/46200580/kevin-oleary-says-if-you-got-a-bonus-dont-blow-it-pay-off-your-debt-kill-your-credit-cards-and-chase-freedom-by-living-debt-free">becoming debt-free</a> in 12 to 18 months. But arguments kept coming up whenever they discussed the budget.
&#8220;Mostly because she feels like I just make the budget and then go over it with her,&#8221; he said. &#8220;She always feels like I just make it and don't give her any input.&#8221;
Don't Miss:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Warren Buffett once said, "If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die."<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/warren-buffet-make-money-when-you-sleep"> Here&#8217;s how you can earn passive income with just $10.</a></li>

</ul>
Ramsey quickly identified the classic &#8220;nerd vs. free spirit&#8221; dynamic. &#8220;You're like me—you're the nerd in the house and she's the free spirit,&#8221; he said. Ramsey explained that for a budget to work as a team effort, the so-called &#8220;free spirit&#8221; must be allowed to make changes. &#8220;Otherwise, it's not our budget. It's your budget.&#8221;
At first, the discussion seemed lighthearted. But when the caller mentioned that his wife had stage 4 cancer and he still expected her to help by delivering for Uber Eats a few times a week, the tone shifted.
&#8220;Whoa. Let's not bury the lede here,&#8221; Kamel said, stunned. &#8220;She's going through something&#8230; Bless her heart,&#8221; Ramsey added.
The caller tried to justify the request, saying, &#8220;She is stable and so she could go out and she&#8217;s on disability, so she could you know&#8230;&#8221; explaining that he just needed a little help to speed up their debt-free timeline. But Ramsey didn't hold back.&#8221;I absolutely apologize to your wife for calling her a whiner in stage 4 cancer,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And I have discovered that now you are the whiner.&#8221;
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>
Ramsey then called out the caller's lack of empathy. &#8220;She went and helped her sister, and now she's too exhausted with her stage 4 cancer. Bless her heart. Oh my God, man. No wonder she doesn't want to talk to you.&#8221;
He urged the man to reframe his approach: &#8220;You just say, &#8216;All right honey, I want to make sure more than anything we take care of you. Given that, this is how much money we have. How do you want to spend the money?'&#8221;
Kamel emphasized that becoming debt-free should not come at the expense of compassion or emotional connection. &#8220;If Uber Eats is delayed by six months because she can't go do a few hours a week, that's okay. We'll move at a slower pace.&#8221;
In reflecting on the call, Kamel reminded listeners that unity in budgeting comes from mutual care, not control. &#8220;You're never going to get to unity through apathy.&#8221;

$100 Invested In Phillips 66 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

A Redditor <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/DaveRamsey/comments/1k7731g/my_experience_following_dave_ramsey/">shared</a> on the social media platform earlier this year how he got out of heavy debt and financial troubles by following the advice of American personal finance author and radio host Dave Ramsey.
In 2013, the poster had $23,000 in credit card debt and owed $123,000 on his mortgage. He was making about $60,000 annually from his small business, but could not "put my hands on $200 cash." Today, he's debt-free with around $80,000 in cash, and both his house and car are paid off.
"We can close our business today and not have to work another day in our lives," the Redditor, 50, said. "I may have missed out on some nice beach days at a condo somewhere for a few years, but it&#8217;s nice to know that if I wanted to go to Bermuda tomorrow, I can put it on my debit card and not worry about it."

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">‘Snowball' Method to Pay Off Debt</h2>
The Redditor said he used Ramsey's well-known "snowball" method, a debt-reduction strategy that focuses on paying off the smallest debts first. He focused on living below means and did not follow any "get rich quick" scheme or invest in bitcoin.
"We didn&#8217;t take vacations, and invested literally every penny. Every day that I&#8217;d have cash left over, it was invested, not blown," he added. "Turned off cable and internet at home, at times would use a space heater so we didn&#8217;t have to pay to heat the whole house, and dumped our two cars that still had a huge balance on them."

The Redditor said he paid off his mortgage "way too early" by Ramsey's standards, but owning his home was a top priority because of the uncertainty in his business. About four years ago, he renovated his house for $37,000, paid in cash. He also paid in full for two used cars.
The Redditor advised fellow investors to take "baby steps" and live below their means, using the extra money to invest. He thinks Ramsey's advice is mostly aimed at those who live paycheck to paycheck and have limited financial knowledge.
"I see a lot of people that say his advice is ridiculous, but it worked for us," he added.
