NK cells are part of the human innate immune response system that can selectively identify and destroy abnormal or diseased cells. Its product candidates are based on a proprietary manufacturing and cryopreservation process that produces SuperNKTM (SNK) cells that have shown increased activity as compared to the starting population of NK cells, based on the results of in vitro experiments performed by NKMAX, as defined by parameters such as cytotoxicity, cytokine production and activating receptor expression. SNK cells can be produced in large quantities and cryopreserved while maintaining high levels of cytotoxicity.

Kansas City Federal Reserve President Jeff Schmid said on Tuesday that the central bank has sufficient time to analyze rising import tariff impacts on inflation and economic growth before implementing further interest rate cuts. What Happened: &#8220;The current posture of monetary policy, which has been characterized as &#8216;wait-and-see,&#8217; is appropriate,&#8221; Schmid stated in prepared remarks to an agricultural summit in Nebraska, Reuters reported.
The Kansas City Fed chief, who holds a voting seat on the Federal Open Market Committee this year, emphasized that economic resilience provides the Fed time to observe price and economic developments before adjusting the benchmark policy rate.

The Fed has maintained its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/06/46011863/jerome-powell-blames-trump-tariffs-for-inflation-analyst-claps-back-says-fed-is-overplaying-the-card">target rate between 4.25% and 4.5% since December</a> despite pressure from President Donald Trump for rate cuts. The FOMC next convenes July 29-30, with current Fed projections anticipating two rate reductions by year-end.
Why It Matters: Schmid highlighted growing uncertainty around trade policy, with Fed officials generally expecting slower growth, higher unemployment, and elevated inflation in the coming months. Inflation remains above the Fed&#8217;s 2% target, with &#8220;contacts almost uniformly expecting increased tariffs to push up prices and weigh on activity,&#8221; he noted.
Fed Chair Jerome Powell recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/06/46011863/jerome-powell-blames-trump-tariffs-for-inflation-analyst-claps-back-says-fed-is-overplaying-the-card">attributed rising core inflation forecasts to expected tariff effects</a>, with projections increasing from 2.8% in March to 3.1% currently. The Personal Consumption Expenditures inflation measure is projected to reach 3.0% in 2025, while real GDP growth was downgraded to 1.4% from 1.7%.

Fed's Schmid Says 'Wait-and-See' Approach Right For Rate Policy As Tariff Fallout Still Unclear

On Tuesday, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) called out billionaire and Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) founder Jeff Bezos for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/08/33591383/bezos-throws-engagement-party-on-500-million-yacht-ahead-of-amazons-earnings-heres-who-was-in-attend">extravagant spending amid</a> widespread economic inequality in the U.S.
What Happened: Sanders took to X, formerly Twitter, and condemned Bezos' lavish wedding in Venice, a $500 million yacht and a $5 million engagement ring, citing his more than $230 billion net worth and an effective tax rate of just 1.1%.
"This is oligarchy. This is obscene," Sanders posted on X. "While 60% live paycheck to paycheck &amp; kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos&#8230; spends $5 million on a ring."

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">This is oligarchy. This is obscene.

End this oligarchy.
&mdash; Bernie Sanders (@SenSanders) <a href="https://twitter.com/SenSanders/status/1937542037081063849?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 24, 2025</a></blockquote>

Bezos currently has a net worth of $234 million, making him&nbsp; fourth on the list of Bloomberg Billionaire <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/">Index</a>.
Earlier this year, when Bezos announced a major editorial shift at The Washington Post, stating its opinion section will now focus on promoting free markets and personal liberties, Sanders called it an example of &#8220;oligarch ownership of the media&#8221; and accused the Amazon founder of pushing the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/02/43997193/jeff-bezos-washington-post-overhaul-draws-oligarch-remark-from-bernie-sanders-elon-musk-calls-amazon-founder-a-bravo">paper toward a right-wing agenda</a>.

Why It's Important: Having already <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/12/42639012/inside-jeff-bezos-600m-wedding-to-lauren-sanchez-luxe-decor-stars-and-romance">thrown extravagant yacht parties</a> and a lavish engagement celebration, Bezos and Lauren Sánchez are now reportedly preparing to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/03/44550460/jeff-bezos-italian-wedding-guest-list-and-plans-kim-kardashian-donald-trump-bill-gates-oprah-winfrey-get-reported-invites">host wedding guests</a>—ranging from politicians and billionaires to actors and celebrities—for three days of festivities in Venice starting June 26.
The wedding and its associated events are estimated to cost between 40 and 48 million euros ($46.5 to $55.6 million), according to Luca Zaia, president of the Veneto regional government, which includes Venice, reported Reuters.
Previously, it was reported that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/entertainment/25/06/46062022/protests-rock-jeff-bezos-gondola-want-to-rent-venice-for-a-wedding-pay-more-tax">wedding festivities in Venice</a> had drawn controversy and protests, prompting a last-minute venue change from Scuola Grande della Misericordia to a more secure location.
Local reports cite security concerns, planned protests and rising U.S.-Iran tensions—given a nearby U.S. airbase—as reasons for the shift. Events are also scheduled to take place on San Giorgio Island and Bezos' $500 million yacht, Koru.
Protesters, including Greenpeace, criticized Bezos for &#8220;taking over the city&#8221; and called for higher taxes on the ultra-wealthy. Security has been heightened, with Bezos reportedly hiring ex-U.S. Marines.

Bernie Sanders Slams Jeff Bezos' Lavish Wedding Plans, Demands 'End' To Oligarchy: Amazon Founder Pays 1.1% Tax, Takes $500 Million Yacht To Venice While Kids Go Hungry

The Trump Organization's push into the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45990957/trump-mobile-plans-to-launch-499-t-1-phone-made-in-the-usa-but-expert-says-you-dont-have-the-employees-that-can-do-it">smartphone business</a> leans on a tiny Florida-based wireless company headquartered in a Trump Tower condo.
What Happened: To power Trump Mobile's "Made in America" smartphone and wireless plan, the Trump Organization partnered with Liberty Mobile Wireless, a little-known mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) founded in 2018, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/8b58f16e-fafa-4cfe-a5dc-353fe39f87c7">reported</a> the Financial Times.
A mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) is a business that leases network capacity from major carriers like AT&amp;T (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/T#NYSE">T</a>), Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VZ#NYSE">VZ</a>), and T-Mobile U.S. Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NASDAQ">TMUS</a>), and then resells it under its own brand to customers.

The company is registered at a unit inside the luxury Trump Tower in Miami and lists fewer than 50 employees on LinkedIn.&nbsp;
Despite billing itself as the backbone of Trump Mobile's national rollout, Liberty Mobile Wireless's website still features placeholder text — five identical entries answering the question, "What is Lorem Ipsum?"
Company filings link Liberty Mobile to entrepreneur Matt Lopatin, who has previously launched and dissolved several small ventures.
Why It's Important: Trump Mobile launched earlier this month with promises of a U.S.-made smartphone called the "T1," <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45954307/donald-trump-wants-you-to-use-his-new-47-mobile-plan-with-a-499-gold-phone-made-in-america">retailing for $499</a>.
The order page briefly crashed after its launch on Monday due to what one employee on Wednesday described as a "rush of inquiries," the report noted.&nbsp;
Launching in August alongside a new wireless service called Trump Mobile, the device will reportedly be manufactured in Alabama, California and Florida. However, industry experts are doubtful about large-scale U.S. smartphone production.
Previously, Roger Entner of Recon Analytics noted that no major smartphones have been made in the U.S. since the 2G/3G era due to a lack of infrastructure, skilled labor and supply chains.
Analyst Dan Ives also suggested the project might work on a small scale but would face serious challenges if production exceeds 20,000–40,000 units.

Trump's 'Made in America' Phone Plan Is Backed By A Little-Known Network Based In His Miami Condo, Whose Website Still Says 'What Is Lorem Ipsum?'

Future Fund LLC's managing director, Gary Black, sees minimal risk in Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) as the ride-hailing giant announced the expansion of its partnership with 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>) Waymo.
Check out the current price of <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/uber">UBER stock here</a>.
What Happened: "UBER +7% today and nearing a new all time high after announcing that Waymo/Uber driverless ride hailing partnership has expanded to Atlanta," the investor said in a post on social media platform X on Tuesday.
Black also outlined how the partnership has enabled Waymo to operate on the Uber platform in cities like Phoenix, Austin and Atlanta. The investor also drew parallels between Waymo and Robotaxi rival Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), which the investor says still operates ‘in supervised autonomy mode.'
Black also highlighted how Waymo/Uber is "exploring driverless expansion to Miami and Washington D.C. by year-end," which makes Uber's business model ‘low risk.'

Why It Matters: The comments come in as Waymo has been steadily bolstering its position in the domestic autonomous taxi industry, with recently announced expansions to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45988738/tesla-robotaxi-rival-waymo-expands-services-in-california-amid-us-autonomous-vehicle-push">other parts of California</a> as well as New York.
The company has already established itself as a major player in the self-driving taxi sector, having already reached the 10 million paid autonomous rides milestone, something the service achieved by doubling its lifetime total of 5 million autonomous rides in five months.
Elsewhere, Tesla officially rolled out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46045542/tesla-launches-robotaxi-in-austin-elon-musk-calls-it-a-culmination-of-a-decade-of-hard-work">its Robotaxi service</a> in Austin on Sunday, which was a limited rollout with over 10 Model Ys during an invite-only event.

Uber Nears All-Time High As Waymo Partnership Expands To Atlanta — Gary Black Calls It 'Low-Risk' While Tesla Lags In 'Supervised Autonomy'

Renowned investor Cathie Wood said Tuesday that growing institutional interest in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) would herald the &#8220;next exciting leg&#8221; of the asset&#8217;s growth journey.
What Happened: The CEO of asset management firm&nbsp;ARK Invest was reacting to billionaire hedge fund manager&nbsp;Philippe Laffont&#8217;s views on Bitcoin.
Laffont, founder of tech-focused hedge fund&nbsp;Coatue Management, said in a recent conference that retail investors understood the value of Bitcoin earlier than institutions.
&#8220;It feels like sometimes the institutional investor is wrong and the retail investment is right,&#8221; he stated. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think we can afford to ignore it anymore.&#8221;
Wood noted that ARK Invest had given its clients exposure to the cryptocurrency back in 2015 when it was priced at only $250. 
&#8220;Thanks primarily to retail investors, Bitcoin has appreciated 400-fold. Now that institutions are focused on this new asset class, the next exciting leg of this journey is beginning,&#8221; she added.

This would represent a surge of at least 580% from its current value by 2030.
Why It Matters: Laffont predicted earlier this month that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45942372/anthony-scaramucci-welcomes-philippe-laffonts-bitcoin-advocacy-after-billionaire-hedge-fund-manager-says-apex-crypto-has-become-central-to-investment-portfolios">Bitcoin would become central to investment portfolios</a> in the years to come, joining a growing list of well-known hedge fund managers who have softened their views on the asset.
Institutions have poured over $47 billion in spot Bitcoin exchange traded funds since their debut last year, with BlackRock&#8217;s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>) becoming the world&#8217;s largest cryptocurrency investment vehicle, <a href="https://sosovalue.com/assets/etf/us-btc-spot">according </a>to SoSo Value. 
Meanwhile, Wood remains an outspoken advocate of Bitcoin, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45335755/cathie-wood-stands-firm-on-bold-700000-bitcoin-prediction-for-investors-says-bull-case-in-the-1-5-million-range">forecasting that it will reach $700,000</a> in the coming years, with the bull case in the&nbsp;$1.5 million range.

Bitcoin's 400x Rise Aside, Cathie Wood Says The 'Next Exciting Leg' Is Just Beginning

U.S. money market funds are witnessing an unprecedented surge in inflows as investors increasingly favor safety and liquidity over risk assets.
What Happened: According to data shared by The Kobeissi Letter in a post on X, on Tuesday, money market funds have attracted $902 billion in net inflows over the past twelve months.
In comparison, debt and equity markets over the same period have witnessed inflows of $485 billion and $443 billion, respectively. So far in 2025, the post notes that money markets have drawn $200 billion in fresh inflows, while debt and equities have remained largely flat.

&#8220;Safe-haven investments are thriving,&#8221; the post says, highlighting a deepening sense of caution in the markets, with investors increasingly prioritizing preservation over the pursuit of returns.
&#8220;It appears that capital is flying into safety as elevated interest rates and economic uncertainty make cash-like instruments increasingly attractive relative to risk assets,&#8221; it says.

Money Market Funds 'On Fire' As $902 Billion Pours In — Why These 'Safe-Haven' Investments Are Thriving Now?

Zohran Mamdani, the 33-year-old progressive state representative, emerged as the frontrunner in New York City&#8217;s Democratic mayoral primary Tuesday night, prompting former Governor Andrew Cuomo to concede defeat.
What Happened: With 91% of votes counted, Mamdani secured 43.5% compared to Cuomo&#8217;s 36.4%. City Comptroller Brad Lander trailed with 11.4%, according to preliminary results.
&#8220;Tonight is his night. He deserved it. He won,&#8221; Cuomo told supporters at his campaign rally, praising Mamdani&#8217;s &#8220;really smart and good and impactful campaign.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
The outcome represents a significant rebuke to the Democratic establishment. Cuomo entered the race in March with superior name recognition and a 30-point polling lead, backed by billionaire donors including Home Depot co-founder Ken Langone and Avenue Capital Group CEO Marc Lasry, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jun/24/new-york-mayoral-primary-results">according</a> to The Guardian. Outside spending supporting Cuomo exceeded $25 million, setting a record for the city.
Mamdani&#8217;s grassroots campaign capitalized on endorsements from progressive leaders Rep.&nbsp;Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez&nbsp;(D-N.Y.) and Sen.&nbsp;Bernie Sanders&nbsp;(I-VT). His platform includes rent freezes and free citywide bus service, resonating particularly with younger voters.

Why It Matters: The race utilized ranked-choice voting, requiring a candidate to receive 50% of the votes for an outright victory. Mamdani&#8217;s cross-endorsement with Lander positions him favorably for second-choice tallies, though final results may take days.
Market implications remain significant given New York&#8217;s economic influence. Former Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/03/44094049/cuomos-mayoral-bid-shakes-up-nyc-race-drawing-major-power-brokers-and-critics-alike">previously endorsed Cuomo</a>, emphasizing the need for &#8220;economic development&#8221; leadership and cooperation with the Trump administration.
Incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, running as an independent after corruption charges were dropped in April following Trump administration intervention, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/03/44094049/cuomos-mayoral-bid-shakes-up-nyc-race-drawing-major-power-brokers-and-critics-alike">remains deeply unpopular</a>. 
Mamdani would become New York&#8217;s first Muslim mayor if elected, marking a historic shift in America&#8217;s financial capital.

Zohran Mamdani Wins New York City Mayoral Primary; Ex-Governor Andrew Cuomo Concedes Race

More than three-quarters of U.S. adults say they are not financially secure, a record share in Bankrate's latest Financial Freedom survey, as inflation and hiring freezes erode purchasing power and career prospects.
What Happened: The poll found 77% feel less than "completely financially secure," up from 75% last year and 72% in 2023, despite a cooling headline inflation rate.
One-quarter of respondents said they would need a $150,000 salary to feel comfortable, and 8% of that group raised the bar to $200,000–$499,999, while another 8% wanted at least $500,000. By contrast, 45% reported they could feel financially secure on under six figures, including 34% who said $50,000–$99,999 would suffice.
Median pay has not kept pace with prices. Bureau of Labor Statistics data show a $100,000 salary in January 2020 now buys what $124,000 did in April 2025, effectively slicing $24,000 from households that missed raises. Average full-time, year-round earnings were $81,515 in 2023, well below the $150,000 that 26% of respondents say they would need to "feel financially secure/comfortable," Bankrate noted.

"Getting rich may have once been what many Americans fantasized about, but now, simply living comfortably feels like the new aspiration, as economic challenges make financial stability a rare luxury," Bankrate analyst and U.S. economy reporter Sarah Foster said. "Many people need to spend more and more every year. However, their income has not increased a lot. Most people's salary is (static)," said Purdue University finance scholar Wookjae Heo.
Why It Matters: A GoBankingRates survey from May shows <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45441492/survey-reveals-what-each-generation-thinks-is-a-comfortable-salary-in-2025-you-might-be-surprised">55% of Americans</a> still believe they could live comfortably on $100,000 or less in 2025, despite higher prices. Gen Z highlights that optimism, with roughly 21% of 18 to 24-year-olds saying $50,001–$75,000 would be enough, while only 3% insist on $500,000 or more.
A separate SmartAsset <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/45929823/the-salary-a-single-person-needs-to-live-comfortably-now-outweighs-median-annual-wages-in-all-50-states">study</a> offers a harsher reality, calculating that a single adult now needs $80,829 to $124,467 to feel comfortable in every state, well above the Bureau of Labor Statistics' $62,000 median wage for full-time workers. That shortfall helps explain why many households still feel squeezed even when their paychecks flirt with six figures.

Americans Used To Fantasize About Getting Rich, Now They Just Want To Be Comfortable: 1-In-4 Don't Feel Financially Safe, Many Want $150,000 Payslips

Artificial general intelligence may not lead to the deflationary future some investors expect, according to Harvard professor and former IMF Chief Economist Ken Rogoff.
What Happened: Appearing on the Dwarkesh Patel Podcast earlier in the month, Rogoff warned that AGI could actually push inflation up, keeping pressure on interest rates to stay higher for longer, amid growing demand for energy and infrastructure capital expenditures.
&#8220;AGI and AI are upward pressures on interest rates,&#8221; he says, adding that with &#8220;the huge energy needs [and] the capital investment, you&#8217;re going to see even more spending, not less.&#8221;

This is in sharp contrast to other economists and experts, who have since commented on AI and artificial general intelligence being broadly deflationary. Rogoff, however, cautions that this is a misreading of how capital-intensive technological revolutions unfold.
&#8220;Traditionally, when you did a lot of investment, it raised wages,&#8221; he said, while citing research by MIT economist Daron Acemoglu, who has shown that automation doesn't always lead to falling wages or lower investment, but it can shift the economy toward capital-intensive growth paths instead.
Rogoff concludes that this isn&#8217;t going to be a deflationary story like it&#8217;s being projected, while adding that &#8220;this could actually make life harder for central banks, not easier.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Rogoff offers a contrarian take on the predictions made by several experts and economists on the matter in recent months.
The CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman, recently said that AI would have a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44312626/sam-altman-warns-ai-will-be-deflationary-but-says-openais-biggest-constraint-isnt-data-or-demand-its">deflationary effect</a> on the global economy, something he says is underappreciated and misunderstood by investors.

He said that &#8220;The cheaper it [AI] gets, the cheaper everything gets&#8230; electricity is the other one,&#8221; in a post on X, late last year.

BigBear.ai, AMD, QuantumScape, Coinbase, Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

On Tuesday, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) slammed Meta Platforms, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) alleged tax windfalls under President Donald Trump's new legislative package, saying the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45854511/elizabeth-warren-calls-trumps-tax-bill-ugly-for-targeting-cfpb-says-it-returned-21-billion-to-cheated-americans">benefits far outweigh</a> what ordinary Americans could ever contribute.
What Happened: Warren criticized a provision in Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" that she says offers Meta a massive tax break.
"If every one of the 340 million people in America paid a new $35 copay to visit the doctor, that still wouldn't be enough to cover how much Meta would get from just one tax break in Donald Trump&#8217;s ‘Big Beautiful Bill,'" she posted on X, formerly Twitter.
The U.S. population is estimated at 342 million, according to the Census — a number that, as Warren pointed out, wouldn&#8217;t be enough to offset the tax break given to Mark Zuckerberg&#8217;s company under the &#8220;Big Beautiful Bill.&#8221;

Why It's Important: Earlier this month, Warren slammed the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," warning it could cause 16 million Americans to lose health coverage and add $2.4 trillion to the national debt.
Citing Congressional Budget Office estimates, Warren said the bill disproportionately <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45785851/elizabeth-warren-says-trumps-one-big-beautiful-bill-will-rip-away-health-coverage-from-16-million-a">benefits billionaires</a> like Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg at the expense of everyday Americans.
Warren has also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45764421/elizabeth-warren-warns-ai-provision-in-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-could-enable-rent-hikes-this-policy-violates-the-senates-budget-rules">opposed a provision</a> in the bill that would prevent states from regulating artificial intelligence for 10 years. She argued this could lead to higher rents by protecting companies like RealPage. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has also criticized the measure.
Bezos and Zuckerberg's Meta have each <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/05/45708460/elon-musks-175-billion-in-doge-cut-falls-far-short-of-the-billionaires-goal-expect-to-achieve-over-time-the-trillion-dollars-of-savings-says-tesla-ceo">contributed $1 million</a> to Trump's Jan. 20 inauguration.
According to Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings, META is exhibiting a consistent upward trend across short, medium and long-term timeframes. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">More detailed performance insights can be found here</a>.

Elizabeth Warren Says The Tax Break For Mark Zuckerberg's Meta Is So Bountiful Under Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' That $35 Copay From Each American Won't Still Match It

Another key figure at the Department of Government Efficiency, nicknamed &#8220;Big Balls&#8221;, has reportedly stepped down, following the exit of Elon Musk from the federal initiative meant to reduce wasteful spending.
What Happened: Edward&nbsp;Coristine, a 19-year-old high school&nbsp;graduate operating under the pseudonym &#8220;Big Balls&#8221;, has resigned from his role at DOGE, The Hill <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5367819-doge-aide-big-balls-resigns/">reported </a>Tuesday, citing a White House official with knowledge of the matter.
Coristine was a key participant in high-level meetings involving the DOGE, Treasury Department, Commerce Department, and military operations during his tenure, the report said.
Despite his age and education, Coristine&nbsp;gained access to the United&nbsp;States&#8217; payroll systems. However,&nbsp;his Google Workspace account with&nbsp;the General Services Administration (GSA) is no longer active following his resignation, as <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/big-balls-coristine-doge-resigned-us-government/">reported </a>by WIRED.
DOGE didn&#8217;t immediately return Benzinga&#8217;s request to confirm this news.

Why It Matters: Coristine, previously lauded by Musk, was reportedly<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44508248/elon-musks-doge-service-team-member-tied-to-cybercrime-group-report"> linked to a cybercrime group</a>, leading to concerns about the integrity of the DOGE initiative. His former company, DiamondCDN, had ties to a website operated by the cybercrime group &#8220;EGodly&#8221;. 
Coristine&#8217;s departure follows a series of high-profile exits from DOGE, including that of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45661836/tesla-stock-gains-215-after-hours-as-elon-musk-ends-doge-government-role">Musk himself</a> and his long-time lieutenant Steve Davis. Davis played a central role in<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45687331/elon-musks-right-hand-man-steve-davis-exits-doge-after-tesla-ceo-steps-back-from-government-work"> executing Musk&#8217;s cost-cutting vision</a>, overseeing staffing decisions and guiding a team of engineers embedded in federal agencies.
DOGE, Musk&#8217;s brainchild, aimed to modernize government operations to increase efficiency and cost-effectiveness, although it isn&#8217;t an official government department. During his tenure, DOGE&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45034082/elon-musks-doge-saves-160-billion-but-could-lead-to-billions-in-hidden-costs-for-taxpayers-warns-new-analysis-public-will-end-up-paying-for-this" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">claimed $160 billion in government savings</a>&nbsp;through contract terminations and IT modernization efforts.
At the same time, the initiative faced flak for seeking access to&nbsp;<a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44133368/trumps-congressional-address-taps-elon-musk-for-government-overhaul-revives-drill-baby-drill-for-energy-boom" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">sensitive government systems</a>&nbsp;such as the Treasury Department and potential conflicts of interest.
Price Action:&nbsp; The DOGE acronym also alludes to Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>), a meme coin that Musk has liked over the years, although there is no direct link between the department and the cryptocurrency.
At the time of writing, DOGE was exchanging hands at $0.1657, up 1.07% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

DOGE-Fame 'Big Balls' Is Reportedly Leaving The Government Department Once Headed By Elon Musk — Dogecoin Price Rises

Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made significant trades on Tuesday, spotlighting its strategic acquisitions of Shopify Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NASDAQ">SHOP</a>) and Airbnb Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABNB#NASDAQ">ABNB</a>). These trades reflect Ark&#8217;s continued interest in high-growth technology and e-commerce sectors.
The Shopify Trade saw Ark Invest making substantial purchases across three of its funds: Ark Fintech Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKF#BATS">ARKF</a>), ARK Innovation ETF (BATS: ARKK), and ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (BATS: ARKW). The firm acquired a total of 33,829 shares of Shopify in total on Tuesday. Shopify shares ended the day at $114.42. The Ark transactions were valued at $3.9 million.
Shopify&#8217;s recent first-quarter earnings report, which revealed a 26.8% year-over-year revenue growth, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45286313/shopify-q1-gross-margin-contracts-misses-profit-estimate">surpassed analyst expectations</a> despite a contraction in gross margins. The total value of the Shopify shares purchased by Ark Invest is currently undisclosed due to the absence of the latest closing price data.
Shopify&#8217;s consistent revenue growth, marking its eighth consecutive quarter of over 25% growth, highlights its resilience and potential in the e-commerce space.
The Airbnb Trade involved Ark Invest&#8217;s flagship ARKK ETF acquiring 19,622 shares of Airbnb. This purchase comes amidst a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis/25/05/45692146/this-airbnb-analyst-turns-bearish-here-are-top-2-downgrades-for-friday">backdrop of mixed analyst sentiments</a>, with some turning bearish on the stock recently. Despite this, Ark&#8217;s acquisition suggests confidence in Airbnb&#8217;s ability to navigate market challenges and capitalize on the growing demand for alternative accommodations. The total value of the Airbnb shares purchased by Ark Invest was $2.6 million. Airbnb shares closed at $132.15 on Tuesday.
Other Key Trades:

The US military&#8217;s recent strikes on Iran&#8217;s nuclear facilities may not have been as devastating as initially claimed, according to a preliminary US intelligence assessment.
What Happened: The strikes on three of Iran&#8217;s nuclear sites last weekend did not completely destroy the core components of Iran&#8217;s nuclear program, as per an early US intelligence assessment, <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/06/24/politics/intel-assessment-us-strikes-iran-nuclear-sites">reported</a> by CNN on Tuesday. The assessment, produced by the Defense Intelligence Agency, suggests that the strikes likely only set back Iran&#8217;s nuclear program by a few months.
&#8220;So the (DIA) assessment is that the US set them back maybe a few months, tops,&#8221; said a source, according to CNN.
The analysis of the damage&nbsp;and the impact of the&nbsp;strikes on Iran&#8217;s nuclear ambitions is ongoing. However, the early findings contradict President&nbsp;Donald Trump&#8216;s claims that the strikes &#8220;completely and totally obliterated&#8221; Iran&#8217;s nuclear enrichment facilities.
Two sources familiar with the assessment stated that Iran&#8217;s&nbsp;stockpile of enriched uranium was&nbsp;not destroyed. The intelligence assessed that&nbsp;enriched uranium was moved out&nbsp;of the sites before the US strikes.&nbsp;The White House acknowledged the&nbsp;existence of the assessment but&nbsp;disagreed with its findings.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt described the assessment as &#8220;flat-out wrong&#8221; and labeled the anonymous source as a &#8220;low-level loser.&#8221;
While the U.S. military claimed the operation was an &#8220;overwhelming success,&#8221; it is still early to have a comprehensive picture of the impact of the strikes. Israel, which had been striking Iranian nuclear facilities before the operation, believes the combined military action set back the Iranian nuclear program by two years.
However, the strikes&nbsp;did not fully eliminate the&nbsp;sites&#8217; centrifuges and highly enriched uranium. The impact&nbsp;was largely restricted to aboveground&nbsp;structures, which were severely damaged,&nbsp;according to the sources.
Despite the ongoing damage assessment, President Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth remain bullish about the success of the strikes. However, others, including Republican Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) and weapons expert Jeffrey Lewis, agree with the assessment that the strikes did not end Iran&#8217;s nuclear program.

Why It Matters: The strikes followed a warning from Iran&#8217;s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi that U.S. involvement in the Israel-Iran conflict would be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46042703/iran-calls-us-bombing-of-nuclear-sites-very-very-dangerous-for-everybody">&#8220;very, very dangerous&#8221;</a> for everybody. 
The strikes also led to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/46059497/stocks-rise-oil-tumbles-despite-irans-strikes-on-us-bases-whats-driving-markets-monday">retaliation from Iran</a>, with missiles fired at U.S. military bases in Qatar and Iraq. Despite the escalating tensions, President Trump announced a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, even as reports of renewed hostilities raised doubts about its durability.

The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/46058796/tesla-stock-is-surging-today-whats-driving-the-momentum">launch of robotaxis </a>in Texas by Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has put an emphasis on the company's AI technology and engineers. Those same Tesla workers are also being contacted by rival companies, which want to lure them away.
What Happened: Tesla senior staff engineer Yun-Ta Tsai shared details of Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) trying to poach him, which follows reports that Meta was aggressively<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46041399/meta-tried-luring-openais-top-minds-with-massive-paychecks-but-sam-altman-neglected-to-mention-that-hes-countering-those-offers-says-andrew-bosworth"> trying to win over</a> top AI talent.
Tsai <a href="https://x.com/YunTaTsai1">shared </a>an email from a Meta recruiter that said it was "one last try" to get him to work at the social media and tech company.
"Sorry we are busy at [sic] launching Robotaxi and our devotion to the sustainable abundance," Tsai captioned the post.
Working at Tesla and with CEO Elon Musk may be a dream job for some and a tough task for others. Tsai shared more details on this in comments to people who replied to the original post.
One user asked Tsai, "What attracts talent to Tesla?"
Tsai shared a response that highlighted Musk's leadership and working for a company with a clear purpose.
"No amount of money can sway me away from Elon. That's once in a lifetime (probably history) opportunities. I enjoyed [missing word] in tough environments. Making money without a sense of purpose would drive me crazy," Tsai said.
Another user told Tsai that Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg was "out there with pallets of cash" trying to "buy his way to AGI."
"That's what I heard. But money cannot buy a sense of purpose," Tsai responded.

Why It's Important: A LinkedIn <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/yutsai/">profile </a>for Tsai shows a work history that includes working at Tesla for four years and nine months along with past stints at Google, Nvidia and Nokia.
In other posts from Tsai, the Tesla engineer praises the teamwork of the AI units and their accomplishments.
"Everyone was working before the dawn to make history. One team," a post reads.
Another X user shared Tsai's post and said it should be shown off when the media says that top talent doesn't want to work with Musk, which caught the CEO's attention.
"It is an honor to work with such a great team," Musk <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1937146908927242271">said</a>.
The positive comments from Tsai come after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45725551/these-former-senior-tesla-employees-share-what-it-was-like-working-with-elon-musk-its-not-a-9-to-5-experience">a recent interview</a> of former Tesla employees highlighted the challenges and pressures of working for Musk, but also the rewards, with some employees going on to found their own companies.
A recent report from OpenAI Chief Technology Officer Andrew Bosworth suggested the company was seeing its employees targeted by Meta.
Bosworth said Meta was trying to lure away top employees from OpenAI, which followed comments from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman commenting on the same.
"The market is setting a rate here for a level of talent which is really incredible and kind of unprecedented," Bosworth said.
Bosworth said Altman failed to mention that he has countered many of the offers OpenAI employees were getting from Meta. &nbsp;
The push to get exceptional employees is likely to continue with demand in the sector, which will lead to companies needing to treat employees well, offer strong compensation and as Tsai has said, a "sense of purpose."
