The Future Fund LLC's managing director, Gary Black, says Tesla Inc.‘s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) affordable Model Y trim level would offer the EV giant no ‘incremental volume.'

What Happened: The veteran investor took to social media platform X on Wednesday, following the earnings call, to weigh in on Tesla.
"The biggest negative (and as I've warned for months) is that the new affordable vehicle will be nothing more than a stripped-down Model Y at a lower price point," the investor said in his post.
He added that an affordable model in the Tesla lineup, without a new form factor like a hatchback or a pickup truck, would "cannibalize" the higher-priced trim levels. "This is marketing 101, but I'm not sure anyone in senior management gets this," Black said.
He also blamed the 4% decline in Tesla stock during after-hours trading on the adjusted Earnings Per Share being "10-15% too high" despite the "42% YTD reduction," he said.

Black also responded to a post on X that questioned his reasoning behind the cannibalization comments. The post argued that a new Model Y trim would serve different segments. Black, in response, said that he was a huge advocate for the Model Y when it first came out, when people drew comparisons with the Model 3.
&#8220;I told everyone who would listen Model Y was a different form factor (CUV) vs the Model 3 (small sedan) and predicted Model Y would be a huge success,&#8221; the investor said before adding that the situation is &#8220;totally different&#8221; for consumers presently.

Tesla's sales have declined over the past year, with the company's sales slipping for the seventh consecutive quarter in the U.S. state of California.

Tesla's New Model Y Trim Won't Expand Market, Offers 'Zero Incremental Volume,' Says Gary Black

Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) Chief Technology Officer Shyam Sankar reframed the artificial intelligence debate, arguing that artificial intelligence is unlocking new levels of creativity and productivity for America's workforce, not replacing it.
What Happened: On Wednesday, speaking on the All-In podcast, Sankar pushed back against the narrative that AI will lead to widespread job losses, especially for blue-collar workers.
"We should not be aspiring to build things that make workers 50% more efficient," Shankar said. "They're really 50 times more productive."
He described AI as a tool that gives "superpowers" to everyday workers—nurses, factory technicians, and frontline staff—by freeing them from administrative clutter and allowing them to focus on high-value tasks.
Sankar pointed to real-world examples, including Laura, a nurse from Tampa General Hospital, who described how AI changed the way she works and inspired new optimism for her children's future.
"The ultimate litmus test is not just how excited the American worker is to leverage AI, but how excited they are for their children to exist in an America that's embraced AI," he said.

Why It Matters: The impact of AI on the job market has been a topic of intense debate. In an interview this month, NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang warned that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46380955/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-warns-ai-could-replace-jobs-if-innovation-stalls-if-the-world-runs-out-of-ideas">AI could lead to job losses</a> if industries fail to innovate.

Economist Craig Shapiro has also warned that the Federal Reserve&#8217;s traditional tool of interest rate cuts may not be enough to address the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/06/46093421/ai-will-disrupt-25-of-us-jobs-by-2030-and-the-fed-cant-save-them-economist-warns">looming labor crisis</a> caused by AI&#8217;s structural impact on employment.

Palantir's Shyam Shankar Says AI Won't Kill Jobs—It'll Give Blue-Collar Workers 'Superpowers' And Make Them 50X More Productive

Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest is betting on the transformative potential of smart contract Layer-1 tokens like Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) in decentralized finance, the company&#8217;s leading cryptocurrency analyst said on Wednesday.
What Happened: Lorenzo Valiente, Director of Research at Ark, described smart&nbsp;contract Layer-1 tokens as a &#8220;distinct and transformative asset class.&#8221;
He specifically discussed Ethereum, highlighting some of its properties, such as its ability to secure&nbsp;the on-chain economy via proof-of-stake,&nbsp;enable transactions and act&nbsp;as programmable collateral at the&nbsp;protocol layer.
&#8220;Given these unique properties, we're excited to explore purpose-built investment vehicles and strategies tailored to this emerging landscape,&#8221; Valiente said. Ark CEO Wood reposted his X post.

What Happened: On Wednesday, during Alphabet's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46587283/alphabet-q2-earnings-revenue-eps-beat-estimates-google-parent-raises-capex-outlook-due-to-strong-and-growing-cloud-demand">second-quarter earnings</a> call, Bernstein analyst Mark Shmulik asked Pichai about the latest reports highlighting high-profile AI talent departures.
Pichai responded by downplaying concerns, saying, "We've obviously always deeply invested in talent, including in AI talent for well over a decade now, and I think we have an extraordinary both breadth and depth of the talent."
"I do know individual cases can make headlines," he added, "but when we look at numbers deeply, I think we are doing very well through this moment."

He said that leading AI experts seek "mission-driven" work, access to high-performance compute, and the ability to collaborate with world-class peers—areas where he believes Google remains strong.
Alphabet CFO Anat Ashkenazi also weighed in, noting the company is strategically investing in talent and compute while driving operational efficiency.
"We make sure that we invest appropriately to have the best brightest minds in the industry sitting here at Google," she said.
Why It's Important: The comments come amid an ongoing industry-wide battle for AI researchers, with rivals like Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and Meta Platforms, Inc.

Alphabet reported second-quarter revenue of $96.43 billion, beating <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">analyst estimates</a>. Google Search alone brought in $54.19 billion.
Alphabet has also raised its capital expenditure forecast for 2025 to around $85 billion, citing "strong and growing demand" for its cloud products and services.

French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte, filed a 22-count civil complaint Wednesday accusing U.S. commentator Candace Owens of defamation and "false light" for repeatedly claiming France's first lady "is, in fact, a man."
What Happened: According to Reuters, the suit, lodged in Delaware Superior Court, says Owens has pushed the rumor since March 2024 "to promote her independent platform, gain notoriety, and make money."
According to the filing, Owens ignored three formal retraction demands and instead amplified the claim through an eight-part podcast titled "Becoming Brigitte" and a stream of posts on X. Owens also alleged that the Macrons are blood relatives and that a U.S. government mind‑control program installed Emmanuel&nbsp;Macron. Each assertion, the suit states, was "demonstrably false" and has caused "tremendous damage" to the couple's reputations.
According to the complaint, people began surfacing baseless speculation about Brigitte Macron&#8217;s gender in 2021, and popular podcasts hosted by Tucker Carlson and Joe Rogan, who have many conservative followers, have discussed the topic.
The complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages and legal fees. The lawsuit is being handled by Clare Locke, the Virginia firm that secured Dominion Voting Systems' <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/04/31870703/fox-dominion-reach-787-5m-settlement-in-defamation-case-over-2020-presidential-election-falsehoods">$787.5 million settlement with Fox News</a> in 2023. &#8220;If ever there was a clear-cut case of defamation, this is it,&#8221; Tom Clare, an attorney for the Macrons, <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/french-president-macron-wife-file-defamation-suit-commentator/story?id=124002172&amp;">said</a> in a statement to ABC.

Owens, who has 6.9 million X followers and more than 4.5 million YouTube subscribers, dismissed the action as "a foreign government attacking the First Amendment rights of an American independent journalist" and vowed to address it on her show.
A spokesperson said she had repeatedly sought an interview with Brigitte Macron, but instead of offering a comment, &#8220;Brigitte is resorting to trying to bully a reporter into submission. In France, politicians can bully journalists, but this is not France. It&#8217;s America.&#8221;
Why It Matters: The Macrons' suit lands amid a recent surge of high-profile defamation claims in U.S. courts. President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46507132/donald-trump-files-10-billion-lawsuit-against-wsj-and-rupert-murdoch">last week sued The Wall Street Journal</a> for $10 billion over links to Jeffrey Epstein, a case that could potentially test press-freedom limits.
Macron, meanwhile, recently blasted Trump&#8217;s trade tariffs as "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46186877/emmanuel-macron-calls-tariffs-blackmail-white-house-shoots-back-saying-trump-is-doing-whats-right-for-our-people">blackmail</a>," a dispute which highlights the deepening trans-Atlantic culture clash now echoed in the Owens controversy.
