Just weeks after announcing its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45398101/microsoft-to-cut-6000-jobs-in-global-restructuring-joins-meta-and-amazon-in-trimming-workforce-amid-ai-driven-shift">largest round of layoffs</a> in years, Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) has decided to eliminate hundreds of additional jobs.
What Happened: On Monday, more than 300 Microsoft employees were told that their roles had been cut, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-02/microsoft-layoffs-continue-with-hundreds-more-cut">reported</a> Bloomberg, citing a Washington state notice.&nbsp;
A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed this development to the publication, saying, "We continue to implement organizational changes necessary to best position the company for success in a dynamic marketplace."
These layoffs follow the roughly 6,000 cuts Microsoft announced last month.

As per the report, while the specific roles affected have not been determined, previous layoffs primarily impacted software engineers.
The tech giant had about 228,000 full-time employees as of June 2024, out of which 55% were based in the U.S.
Why It's Important: Microsoft is currently the most valuable company in the world with a $3.43 trillion market capitalization.
The cuts come as Microsoft and other tech giants like Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45250949/tech-layoffs-get-the-headlines-but-its-uncle-sam-doge-whos-bleeding-workers-in-2025">double down on artificial intelligence</a>, investing billions while trimming non-AI-related headcount.
Previously, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/45093643/ai-is-reshaping-coding-at-microsoft-says-nadella-30-of-code-now-ai-generated">20% to 30% of the company's code</a> base is now being written with the help of AI.
Price Action: Microsoft shares rose 0.35% during Monday's regular trading session but slipped 0.26% in after-hours trading, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
According to Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings, Microsoft shows a favorable price trend across the short, medium and long term. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">You can explore more detailed metrics here</a>.

Microsoft Fires Hundreds More Workers Amid AI-Fueled Growth, Calls It Positioning The Company For 'Success'

Peter Schiff&nbsp;said Monday that his teachings on economics inadvertently led many to invest in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), despite his advice against it.
What Happened: Schiff shared&nbsp;his experience at the Bitcoin&nbsp;2025 conference on his YouTube podcast. He stated that many attendees credited him as the reason they bought the leading cryptocurrency. 
&#8220;Everybody was telling me, almost to a person, that I was the reason that they bought Bitcoin and they credit me, even though that was not my intention,&#8221; the staunch Bitcoin critic said.

&#8220;But the reason people were telling me they bought Bitcoin was because I taught them about economics. They learned economics from me, they learned about sound money they began to question the Fed,&#8221; Schiff added.
According to Schiff, David Bailey, who runs the conference, also credited the Bitcoin skeptic for his decision to buy Bitcoin.
&#8220;It wasn&#8217;t my intention. It&#8217;s kind of like a government program. It was an unintended consequence,&#8221; Schiff said.
Why It Matters: Schiff&#8217;s participated in the Bitcoin 2025 conference, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45610082/peter-schiff-says-hes-the-one-who-best-understands-bitcoin-gets-ready-to-wow-participants-at-crypto-conference-with-modest-booth">intending to present &#8220;contrarian opinions&#8221;</a> on the apex cryptocurrency.&nbsp;
During the conference, Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor took a dig at the economist while highlighting Bitcoin&#8217;s superiority over all assets, including gold. Schiff then challenged Saylor to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45709839/michael-saylor-says-bitcoin-is-engineered-to-outperfom-and-going-to-go-faster-than-gold-peter-schiff">one-on-one debate </a>over gold versus Bitcoin.

Peter Schiff Says It Was His Economic Teachings That Made People Want To Buy Bitcoin: 'An Unintended Consequence'

Mark Cuban says the highest-return wager he ever made wasn't a gamble he took investing on an obscure startup, or courtside tickets — but on himself.
What Happened: In a 2020 Men's Health <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMiXAqUPqao&amp;t=212s">video</a>, the billionaire behind the Dallas Mavericks recalls teaching himself to code because "if I put in the effort, I can learn almost anything," adding that the slog "has paid dividends for the rest of my life."
Cuban told viewers that when money is scarce, effort is cheap — and compound interest on knowledge never stops. "Some of the best investments I ever made were investing in myself, first and foremost," he said, urging newcomers to out-learn the competition because "most people don't put in the time to keep up and learn."
He is hardly alone. Warren Buffett <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/10/41418702/warren-buffetts-words-of-wisdom-benzinga-readers-pick-their-favorite-oracle-of-omaha-quote">calls self-improvement</a> "by far the best investment you can make," advice he repeated in a 2019 Yahoo Finance interview and countless shareholder meetings. Virgin Group founder Richard Branson <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/posts/rbranson_train-people-well-enough-so-they-can-leave-activity-7094663480783327232-WDuo/">says</a> leaders should "train people well enough so they can leave, treat them well enough so they don't want to," linking personal growth to corporate loyalty.

Ray Dalio, fellow billionaire and the founder of Bridgewater Associates, meanwhile, emphasizes personal growth through a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39127870/ray-dalios-blueprint-for-success-billionaire-investor-lists-out-5-step-guide-to-attain-your-goals">system of clear goals</a>, problem identification, root cause diagnosis, and relentless execution.
Why It Matters: Cuban's habit of self-funding growth shows up elsewhere, too. He <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43885487/billionaire-mark-cuban-said-the-first-step-to-getting-rich-is-giving-things-up-drink-water-eat-mac-and-cheese-and-save-every-penny?utm_source=chatgpt.com">advises</a> would-be millionaires to "become an expert in something" before chasing risk assets and to keep cash handy for opportunistic buys.
The investor who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45510105/mark-cuban-is-done-with-shark-tank-but-here-are-5-investments-on-the-show-that-made-him-some-serious-money">recently ended</a> his long run on Shark Tank, also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/42932626/billionaire-mark-cuban-on-college-costs-pick-the-cheapest-school-you-can-find-its-about-learning-not-prestige">encourages everyone</a> to go to college, even if they eventually decide to drop out. Cuban highlights the practical skills that can be gained in college, such as accounting, finance and marketing, which are invaluable even if you don&#8217;t finish your degree. He claims to have applied these lessons to build two successful companies, including Broadcast.com, which sold to Yahoo for $5.7 billion.

Mark Cuban Says Doing This One Thing Paid Him 'Dividends' For The Rest Of His Life, Shark Suggests Doing It When Money Is Scarce

Sen.&nbsp;Elizabeth Warren&nbsp;(D-Mass.) is once again calling out corruption in the Trump Administration, following a questionable decision made by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
What Happened: On Monday, Warren shared a video on X questioning the SEC&#8217;s recent approval of Brazilian meat processing company&nbsp;JBS SA&#8217;s&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBSAY#OTC">JBSAY</a>) listing on the New York Stock Exchange, despite its history of corruption, price fixing, and safety violations.
&#8220;JBS and its subsidiaries have been fined hundreds of millions of dollars for bribery, for price fixing, for safety violations, you name it,&#8221; Warren said.

She then highlighted the company&#8217;s connection with the Trump administration, bringing attention to the fact that JBS&#8217; subsidiary, Pilgrim&#8217;s Pride, contributed $5 million to President Donald Trump&#8217;s inauguration fund, the single-largest donation. 
&#8220;And can you guess which company made the single largest donation to Trump's inauguration? Pilgrim's Pride, which is owned by JBS,&#8221; while noting that the figure was higher than the contributions made by Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), and Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) combined.
&#8220;After a decade of trying and failing to get the green light to go public, suddenly Trump's SEC gives them the go-ahead,&#8221; she says. &#8220;That sounds pretty fishy to me.&#8221;
Warren said she has sent a letter to the CEOs of JBS and Pilgrim's Pride demanding answers. &#8220;We've got to fight back against shady corporate deals and stand up for the Americans who actually play by the rules,&#8221; she said.

JBS SA did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comments. Why It Matters: JBS SA&#8217;s owner, Joesley Batista, is known to have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/17/05/9487244/brazil-is-no-stranger-to-corruption-what-trump-and-the-u">recorded a conversation</a> with former Brazilian President Michel Temer where the latter is seen encouraging the continuous bribery of a jailed politician. The recording was presented to prosecutors as part of a plea bargain.
Temer replaced President Dilma Rousseff as the leader of Brazil. Rousseff was impeached for criminal administrative misconduct.
JBS shareholders approved the company&#8217;s proposal for a dual listing during its Extraordinary General Meeting held two weeks ago. Its shares are expected to begin trading in Brazil&#8217;s São Paulo Stock Exchange (B3), as well as the New York Stock Exchange, on June 9 and 12, respectively, according <a href="https://jbsfoodsgroup.com/articles/jbs-shareholders-approve-dual-listing">to</a> a press release. 
Warren has been a vocal critic of the Trump administration&#8217;s business dealings in recent weeks, having called for a probe into billionaire Elon Musk&#8217;s Starlink receiving <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis/25/06/45715155/elizabeth-warren-calls-it-textbook-corruption-once-again-asks-for-probe-into-elon-musk-cashing-in-on-trump-tariffs">favorable operating permits</a> while leveraging Trump&#8217;s tariffs and trade talks with nations across the globe.

Elizabeth Warren Says Trump 'Approved' The Largest Meat Company In World To Be Listed On NYSE Ignoring Corruption And Bribery History, Demands Answers

Shareholders of Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) rejected a proposal to consider adding Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) to the company&#8217;s balance sheet.
What Happened: A proposal for a &#8220;Bitcoin Treasury Assessment&#8221; garnered only&nbsp;3.92 million votes in favor, reflecting about 0.1% of the total. A whopping 4.98 billion votes, or 95% of the total, were cast against the proposal during the company&#8217;s annual shareholders meeting, according to a May 28 regulatory filing.
&#8220;The shareholders did not approve the shareholder proposal regarding Bitcoin treasury assessment,&#8221; a statement from the filing read

Why It Matters: Peck is a deputy director at the National Center for Public Policy Research&#8217;s, a U.S.-based conservative think tank, which submitted similar Bitcoin investment proposals to Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>).
While Microsoft <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42421374/microsoft-shareholders-reject-proposal-to-explore-bitcoin-investment">shareholders have rejected the proposal</a>, Amazon stakeholders have yet to vote on it.

Applied Digital Corp, Meta Platforms, Alphabet, Lyra Therapeutics, Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) co-founder Steve Jobs' widow, Laurene Powell Jobs, seems to have endorsed a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45602719/openais-acquisition-of-jony-ives-startup-poses-threat-to-apples-dominance">mysterious AI hardware</a> device being developed by Jony Ive and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
What Happened: In a Financial Times interview that was published on Monday, Ive reflected on his years designing the iPhone and its ripple effects on society.
"Many of us would say we have an uneasy relationship with technology at the moment," he said, referring to the harmful effects of technology like social media addiction.&nbsp;
The former Apple design chief said that his work on the AI-powered device with Altman is driven by a sense that "humanity deserves better."

"If you make something new, if you innovate, there will be consequences unforeseen … While some of the less positive consequences were unintentional, I still feel responsibility. And the manifestation of that is a determination to try and be useful."
Powell Jobs, who has remained close to Ive since Steve Jobs&#8217; passing in 2011, praised the collaboration and has invested in both his LoveFrom design firm and the io hardware startup behind the new device.
"If it wasn't for Laurene… there wouldn't be LoveFrom," Ive said. The AI hardware project, currently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45640879/openais-sam-altman-says-6-5b-deal-with-jony-ive-to-build-ai-companions-could-add-1-trillion-in-company-value-report">valued at $6.5 billion</a>, is being acquired by OpenAI.
Powell Jobs expressed cautious optimism, noting that while technology has "dark uses," she's inspired watching ideas go from a thought to drawings, to prototypes and then something you think can't get any better, but then seeing the next version.
Subscribe to the&nbsp;<a href="https://bztechtrends.beehiiv.com/subscribe" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter</a>&nbsp;to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
"Just watching something brand new be manifested, it's a wondrous thing to behold," she stated.
When asked if this new device will rival Apple&#8217;s offerings, she said, "I'm still very close to the leadership team in Apple. They're really good people and I want them to succeed also."
Before meeting Steve Jobs, Powell Jobs built her career in finance and is now estimated to be worth $11.4 billion.
Why It's Important: Previously, Ive referred to smartphones and laptops as "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45638355/headline-apples-former-design-chief-jony-ive-called-phones-and-laptops-legacy-platforms-google-ceo-sundar-pichai-said-pulling-out-a-black-glass-rectangle-wont-make-sense-forever-though-new-age-devices-havent-really-taken-off-yet">legacy products</a>," implying that they no longer define the future of computing.
Earlier, Gene Munster cautioned that OpenAI poses the first major competitive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45599511/apple-faces-first-serious-threat-in-20-years-as-openai-acquires-iphone-makers-former-design-chief-jo">threat to Apple in 20 years</a> following the AI startup's acquisition of Ive's hardware startup.
Apple has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45602719/openais-acquisition-of-jony-ives-startup-poses-threat-to-apples-dominance">struggling to make meaningful advancements</a> in AI. The tech giant is also experiencing a wave of departures, including senior executives and engineers.
This talent drain comes as rivals like 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 and Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) continue to push forward in the generative AI race.
Price Action: Apple shares climbed 0.42% during Monday's regular trading session, as per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>.
According to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Apple holds a growth score of 32.97%. Click here to compare it with other major players such</a> as Alphabet and Microsoft.

What Happened: Bitcoin surpassed $106,000 overnight, after fluctuating between $104,000 and $105,000 throughout the day. Trading volume jumped 30% from the previous day.
Similarly, Ethereum broke past $2,600 in the late evening rally, with volume rising by over 43% in the last 24 hours. The spike comes after co-founder Vitalik Buterin said that the blockchain&#8217;s base layer <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/25/06/45716370/ethereums-l1-will-be-scaled-by-10x-over-the-next-year-says-vitalik-buterin">will be scaled by 10x</a> in about a year.
Bitcoin's market dominance narrowed to 63.8%, while Ethereum's share of the market widened to 9.5%
More than $200 million was liquidated from the cryptocurrency market in the last 24 hours, with bearish bets accounting for 62% of the total liquidations.
Moreover, nearly $363 million in shorts risked liquidation if BTC rallied to $108,000.
Ethereum's Open Interest jumped 7.22% in the last 24 hours, reaching a new all-time high of $36.46 billion. More than 60% of Binance traders with open ETH positions were long at the time of writing.

The global cryptocurrency market capitalization stood at $3.34 trillion, following an increase of 1.08% in the last 24 hours.
Stocks edged up on the first trading day of June. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 35.41 points, or 0.08%, to end at 42,305.48. The S&amp;P 500 rose 0.41% to close at 5,935.94, while the tech-focused Nasdaq Composite spiked 0.67% to end at 19,242.61.

Instead, it accused the U.S. of imposing &#8220;discriminatory restrictive&#8221; policies, such as limiting AI chip exports.

Analyst Notes: Blockchain analytics firm Santiment observed that cryptocurrency traders were being cautious about Bitcoin.
"Bitcoin mentions across social media show 1.3 bullish comments for every 1 bearish comment. This reflects the crowd&#8217;s high association between BTC and the stock market, with its success highly contingent on a healthy American economy," Santiment stated.
On the other hand, there was euphoria for Ethereum, with 3 bullish comments for every 1 bearish comment, likely due to its 41% surge last month.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Rise As China Counters Trump's Trade Deal Breach Claim: Analyst Says BTC Success Riding On Health Of US Economy

When a big inheritance lands in your lap, your instincts may tell you to start making "smart" moves—buy the house, hire the advisor, set up the portfolio. But <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45485339/mom-asks-suze-orman-did-we-create-a-monster-23-year-old-daughter-has-250k-saved-but-refuses-to-pay-for-dates-or-family-outings">Suze Orman</a> has one word for you: don't.
On an April episode of her "Women &amp; Money" podcast, Orman gave a sobering but powerful message to anyone facing the emotional chaos that often comes with a sudden windfall. The <a href="https://omny.fm/shows/suze-ormans-women-and-money/suze-school-revisiting-recognizing-financial-advisor-abuse?in_playlist=podcast">episode focused on a 57-year-old woman</a> who had just lost her husband and was trying to figure out what to do with a $7 million life insurance payout.
"She was left to the tune of $7 million," Orman said. "Now this woman has never dealt with $7 million in her life."

</ul>
And Orman's advice?
"You are to do nothing other than <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44715539/suze-orman-says-when-sentiment-is-this-fearful-its-not-the-time-to-sell-but-if-youll-need-the-money-in-5-years-it-shouldnt-be-in-the-market">keep this money safe and sound</a>," she said. "Except obviously pay off debts and things like that, but nothing besides that. For at least six months, one year or two years after suffering the loss of a loved one."
Orman's reasoning is deeply rooted in psychology—and experience.
"You may feel like you are making the right decisions and that you know what you're doing when it comes to money that you've never handled before, but I'm here to tell you," she said. "You are not in your body. You will get taken advantage of possibly, but you will not be doing that which you should be doing with this money."
The woman, a mother of four—ages 21, 18, 16, and 12—was three months into grieving her husband when she initially reached out to Orman. At that time, Orman carefully guided her to place the full $7 million into a treasury money market account through a reputable brokerage firm, where she'd earn around 4%–5% interest with minimal risk. The instructions were crystal clear:
"You are to do nothing. Do not touch this money. You are just going to let it sit there," she said.&nbsp;
Trending: Can you guess how many retire with a $5,000,000 nest egg? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/5mil-nest-egg-adv">The percentage may shock you</a>.
But that didn't last.
Months later, a financial advisor from that very brokerage firm contacted her and convinced her to split up $2.4 million into two annuities—$1.5 million in one, $900,000 in another—and planned to invest the rest in stocks and bonds, leaving only $1.5 million in the money market account.
Orman was livid.
"Nothing upsets me more than that," she said, referring to advisors who act in their own financial interest before a grieving client is emotionally ready. "We all deserve to know what to do with money, to be taken care of, to not have some financial adviser do things with people's money when they're not ready to do it just 'cause this person may make more money or his firm may make more money."
So what should you do if you suddenly come into a large sum of money, whether from an inheritance, lottery win, or sale of a business?

According to Orman: slow down. Park the money somewhere safe, like a treasury-backed money market account. Let the dust settle before you make life-altering decisions—especially ones driven by outside "experts" with a commission in the balance.
Financial planners often say one of the worst times to make big decisions is after a major emotional event. Behavioral economists call it "decision fatigue." Grief only amplifies it.
That said, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44616088/dave-ramsey-caller-tells-him-following-advice-to-pay-off-house-didnt-work-because-now-she-has-no-credit-but-he-says-that-was-the-point">there's a valid counterpoint</a>: waiting too long to make any moves can expose your money to inflation risk, market shifts, or—ironically—bad advice from friends and family. The key is balance. Take Orman's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45498403/what-is-your-emotional-money-score-suze-ormans-20-questions-to-determine-if-you-are-in-control-of-your-money-or-if-its-in-control-of-you">advice as a mandate</a> to protect your money until you're mentally ready, not a reason to ignore it completely.
Because <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">$7 million is a lot</a>. But peace of mind? That's priceless.

57-Year-Old Inherits $7 Million After Husband's Unexpected Death — Suze Orman Tells Her 'Do Not Touch This Money' For At Least 6 Months

On Monday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made significant trades, notably offloading shares of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>).
The Tesla Trade: Ark Invest sold 1,594 shares of the Elon Musk-led company. For the day, Tesla shares closed at $342.69, making the trade, carried out through the ARK Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#BATS">ARKK</a>), worth $546,247.
This move comes as Tesla faces <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45729188/tesla-stock-is-trading-lower-today-whats-going-on">stiff competition</a> from Chinese electric vehicle rivals, which reported strong delivery numbers for May. Tesla&#8217;s competitors, including BYD, Li Auto, Nio, and Xpeng, saw sales growth in China last month, putting pressure on Tesla&#8217;s market position.
The PLTR Trade: Ark Invest also offloaded 17,467 shares of Palantir Technologies. This decision comes amidst <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45715850/trump-administration-silently-employs-palantir-to-gather-personal-data-of-each-american-raising-privacy-data-misuse-concerns-report">concerns over privacy</a> and potential misuse of personal data. As reported by Benzinga, the Trump administration has been discreetly working with Palantir to gather personal data of American citizens from various federal agencies. Despite these concerns, former hedge fund manager Martin Shkreli <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/45716400/pharma-bro-martin-shkreli-sees-10-trillion-potential-in-palantir-but-cautions-one-bad-quarter-and-its-down-50">expressed bullish views</a> on Palantir but cautioned investors about the stock's inherent volatility in an interview.

Cathie Wood Sells Tesla Stock As Chinese Rivals Gain Ground — Ark Dumps Palantir Amid Privacy Concerns

Investor Kevin O'Leary has dismissed France's shorter workweek as "the stupidest idea I have ever heard." However, several other leaders and tech executives believe artificial intelligence could soon make it a reality.
What Happened: O'Leary, known as "Mr. Wonderful" on Shark Tank, took to X, formerly Twitter, on Sunday and criticized the push for a reduced workweek.&nbsp;
" I think we should let the French go to a two-day work week and then kick their a&#x2A;&#x2A; internationally," said O'Leary.
He then said that the concept of the work week already doesn't work anymore because of the digital economy. "I look at my staff, 40% of them work remotely all around the world."

"It&#8217;s project-based. Can you get it done by the 15th of June? Yes, I can. I don&#8217;t care when you do it, f- four-day, three-day, five-day," he concluded.

Why It's Important: Earlier, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37681980/bernie-sanders-is-back-with-his-4-day-workweek-plan-with-no-pay-cut-not-a-radical-idea">introduced legislation</a> advocating for a four-day, 32-hour workweek in the U.S., without any cuts to workers&#8217; pay.
He said that although American workers are now more than 400% more productive than they were in the 1940s, many are putting in longer hours while earning comparatively less.
Billionaire Steve Cohen and Zoom CEO Eric Yuan previously expressed their belief that AI will enable shorter weeks by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/09/41041598/zoom-ceo-eric-yuan-predicts-4-day-work-weeks-enabled-by-ai-within-20-years-echoing-views-of-bill-gat">boosting productivity</a>.

Kevin O'Leary Blasts Four-Day Workweek As The 'Stupidest Idea Ever' — Here's Why Mr Wonderful Thinks The Concept Doesn't Work In The Era Of Remote Work

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) tore into Donald Trump&#8217;s alleged &#8220;side deal&#8221; with Iran on Monday and demanded that the president make public any such agreements with Tehran.
What Happened: Schumer took to X to criticise Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and United States Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff. 
He said, &#8220;If TACO Trump is already folding on Iran, the American people need to know about it.&#8221; TACO refers to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45665026/trump-always-chickens-out-president-confronted-with-taco-trade-thesis-by-reporteras-markets-bet-hell-blink-again">Wall Street trade</a> premised on the idea that the president always backs away from his earlier aggressive stances. It&#8217;s an acronym for &#8220;Trump Always Chickens Out.&#8221;

&mdash; Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) <a href="https://twitter.com/SenSchumer/status/1929676991789203528?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 2, 2025</a></blockquote>

Schumer said Trump was &#8220;all over the lot&#8221; when it came to negotiating with Iran, in a video he attached to his post. &#8220;One day, he sounds tough, the next day he&#8217;s backing off.&#8221; The Senate minority leader said that it&#8217;s become public that Rubio and Witkoff are negotiating a &#8220;secret side deal&#8221; with Iran.
&#8220;They&#8217;re gonna sound tough in public and then and then have a side deal that lets Iran get away with everything? That&#8217;s outrageous,&#8221; said Schumer. He then went on to demand that such a deal be put before the American people and the Congress.
The United States has reportedly put forward a nuclear proposal to Iran, permitting limited low-level uranium enrichment within the country. This move marks a departure from previous public statements by U.S. officials advocating for zero enrichment.
The proposal, <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/06/02/iran-nuclear-deal-proposal-enrich-uranium">reported</a> by Axios, was delivered by Witkoff. It includes preliminary ideas for the upcoming round of nuclear talks. The plan suggests that Iran dismantle key nuclear infrastructure and cease new centrifuge research. Additionally, it proposes a regional enrichment consortium, limiting Iran&#8217;s domestic capabilities to civilian purposes.
This proposal has raised concerns among U.S. allies, particularly Israel and Republican senators, who have consistently advocated for zero enrichment and the complete dismantlement of Iran&#8217;s nuclear program. Axios reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been pushing for a stringent deal and cautioned against actions that might jeopardize negotiations.

Meanwhile, Trump took to social media to deny that the administration would allow Iran to enrich Uranium.

Why It Matters: In April 2025, Iran signaled its willingness to engage in high-level nuclear discussions with the U.S., while warning against <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44758747/iran-signals-openness-to-nuclear-talks-with-us-warns-against-trumps-aggressive-theatrics">Trump&#8217;s aggressive theatrics</a>.
The latest proposal comes after a series of diplomatic gestures and tensions between the U.S. and Iran. In May 2025, Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45395894/trump-makes-peace-gesture-at-iran-amid-middle-east-optimism-willing-to-end-past-conflicts-and-forge-new-partnerships">extended an olive branch</a> to Iran, expressing hope for improved relations in the Middle East. This was part of a broader strategy to be perceived as a global peacemaker.
Trump had earlier reinstated his &#8220;maximum pressure&#8221; sanctions campaign on Iran, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43480859/trump-confirms-maximum-economic-pressure-on-iran-calls-chinas-tariff-retaliation-fine">aiming to increase economic and political pressure</a> on Tehran. This dual approach of pressure and diplomacy has characterized the U.S.-Iran relations under Trump&#8217;s administration.

Chuck Schumer Says If 'TACO Trump' Is Already Folding On Iran, The American People Need To Know: 'One Day, He Sounds Tough, The Next Day He's Backing Off'

Salesforce (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) <a href="https://www.salesforce.com/news/press-releases/2025/05/27/salesforce-signs-definitive-agreement-to-acquire-informatica/">announced</a> Tuesday that it will acquire Informatica (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INFA#NYSE">INFA</a>) in a cash deal valued at approximately $8 billion. The acquisition underscores Salesforce's intent to bolster its artificial intelligence capabilities by integrating a core player in enterprise data management.
Under the terms of the deal, holders of Informatica's Class A and Class B-1 common stock will receive $25 per share — an 11% premium over the company's closing price of $22.55 on Friday, <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/05/27/salesforce-acquires-informatica-for-8-billion/">TechCrunch</a> reported.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Informatica: &#8216;The Plumbing For AI&#8217;</h2>
Informatica CEO Amit Walia framed the acquisition as a shared effort to bring data and AI to life, describing Informatica in a statement as the plumbing for AI and data. Informatica's Intelligent Data Management Cloud platform helps enterprises connect, manage, and unify complex data systems across multi-cloud and hybrid environments.
"Joining forces with Salesforce represents a significant leap forward in our journey," Walia said in a statement on Tuesday. "We have a shared vision for how we can help organizations harness the full value of their data in the AI era."
Steve Fisher, Salesforce's chief technology officer, said that the truly autonomous, trustworthy AI agents need the most comprehensive understanding of their data, adding that Informatica's metadata and catalog tools will complement Salesforce's agentic AI platform, Agentforce.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Strategic Rationale: Building A Foundation For Agentic AI</h2>
The acquisition builds on Salesforce's previous investments in data and AI. It follows the company's multibillion-dollar acquisitions of Slack at $27.7 billion in 2021, Tableau at $15.7 billion in 2019, and MuleSoft at $6.5 billion in 2018.&nbsp;
According to Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, Informatica will be integrated alongside Data Cloud, Tableau, and MuleSoft to enable autonomous agents to deliver smarter, safer, and more scalable outcomes for every company.
Salesforce&#8217;s operating and financial chief Robin Washington said the company will move quickly to leverage Informatica's capabilities across public sector, life sciences, healthcare, and financial services verticals, where governed, trustworthy data is critical.
The deal is expected to close in early fiscal 2027, pending regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">From Buyout To Buy-In</h2>
Informatica was taken private in 2015 through a $5.3 billion deal led by private-equity firm Permira and the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board. Informatica says it serves more than 5,000 customers across nearly 100 countries, including over 80 of the Fortune 100, according to its acquisition announcement.
The transaction will be financed through a combination of Salesforce's cash and new debt, the company said in the announcement.&nbsp;
