President-elect Donald Trump met Argentina President&nbsp;Javier Milei at his Mar-a-Lago resort Thursday. This was his first meeting with a world leader since winning the elections last week.
What Happened: Milei congratulated Trump on his election victory, lending support to the shared ideas of liberty and economic prosperity, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-15/argentine-president-milei-praises-trump-at-mar-a-lago-event?srnd=homepage-europe">Bloomberg</a> reported. 
"Today, the winds of freedom are blowing much stronger,"&nbsp;he said in Spanish at the America First Policy Institute event.&nbsp;&#8220;I am exhilarated to be able to share with the new U.S. administration the same level of freedom, and I'm convinced that together we will restore it to the place it deserves.
Milei, who assumed office a year ago, also praised tech mogul Elon Musk, who was in the audience, for promoting free speech through X. 
Trump, in turn, acknowledged Milei&#8217;s speech, stating, &#8220;Your speech was beautiful, but the job you've done is incredible.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Milei has earned praise from Trump for his economic policies. During an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40329146/trump-praises-pro-bitcoin-argentina-president-javier-mileis-maga-like-economic-policies-in">interview</a> with Musk In August, the president-elect highlighted Argentina&#8217;s prosperity under Milei&#8217;s leadership, drawing parallels to his own &#8220;Make America Great Again&#8221; policy.
There has been significant bonhomie between Musk and Milei as well. The two met warmly in September <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40994028/elon-musk-dons-his-maga-hat-to-meet-pro-bitcoin-president-javier-milei-duo-discuss-argenti">on the sidelines</a> of Argentina&#8217;s national speech to the United Nations General Assembly.
Prior to that, Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/09/40679115/elon-musk-praises-pro-bitcoin-president-javier-mileis-efforts-in-restoring-argentina-to-greatness-am">expressed his admiration</a> for Milei&#8217;s efforts in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/09/40679115/elon-musk-praises-pro-bitcoin-president-javier-mileis-efforts-in-restoring-argentina-to-greatness-am">restoring Argentina&#8217;s stature</a>.
Milei secured victory in the November elections after promising large cuts in public spending to address Argentina&#8217;s fiscal deficit and increasing inflation. His libertarian stance is also reflected in his support for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), making him one of the very few heads of state to openly endorse the asset.
However, the president has also faced criticism for his austerity measures, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40825073/pro-bitcoin-president-javier-milei-triumphs-as-pension-spending-hike-stalled-in-argentinas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">with many taking to the streets </a>to oppose his attempts to halt the increase in pension spending.

Amid Comcast Corp&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41653550/comcast-q3-earnings-olympics-power-nbcuniversal-gains-peacock-hits-36m-subscribers-explores-forming">impending cable networks</a> spinoff,&nbsp;Walt Disney Co.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) CEO Robert A. Iger has ruled out the need for further mergers and acquisitions.
What Happened: On Thursday, during <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41971559/disneys-q4-boosted-by-streaming-gains-strong-box-office-and-solid-parks-performance">Disney&#8217;s fourth-quarter earnings</a> call, UBS analyst John Hodulik asked Iger about the potential for Disney to make similar moves.
In response, Iger pointed to Disney&#8217;s successful acquisition of assets from 20th Century Fox in 2017, driven by the rise of streaming. This strategic move has led to&nbsp;approximately 174 million global subscribers&nbsp;for Disney.

&#8220;We, in many respects, have&nbsp;already consolidated. We don&#8217;t really&nbsp;need more assets right now,&nbsp;either from a distribution or&nbsp;from a content perspective to&nbsp;thrive in basically a disruptive&nbsp;media world,&#8221; Iger said.
Disney&#8217;s senior executive vice president&nbsp;and CFO, Hugh Johnston, also rejected the idea of divestitures, stating that he did not see a value-creating opportunity for Disney in this regard.

Why It Matters: Disney&#8217;s fourth-quarter earnings were boosted by streaming gains, strong box office performance, and solid park performance. The company reported a 6% YoY revenue growth to $22.57 billion, marginally beating the analyst consensus of $22.35 billion.
Comcast is exploring a spinoff of its NBCU Cable Networks into a new company. This move was announced by Comcast president Mike Cavanagh at the company&#8217;s third-quarter earnings.
Comcast reported a revenue decline of 6.5% YoY to $32.07 billion at the time, beating the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/b41648656/comcast-reports-3rd-quarter-2024-results" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">analyst consensus estimate of $31.64 billion</a>.
Price Action: Disney shares closed Thursday's session with a 6.23% gain, finishing at $109.12. However, in after-hours trading, the stock saw a slight dip, settling at $108.50 as of the latest update.
In contrast, Comcast shares declined by 0.98% in Thursday&#8217;s session, closing at $43.48, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Bob Iger Slams The Brakes On New M&A Amid Comcast's Cable Spinoff: Disney Doesn't 'Really Need More Assets' To Compete

Microsoft Corporation&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and&nbsp;NASA&nbsp;have introduced an AI tool, Earth Copilot, to simplify the access and understanding of Earth&#8217;s scientific data.
What Happened: On Thursday, the tech behemoth and the space agency announced the AI chatbot that can respond to queries about our planet by referring to NASA&#8217;s vast data repository.
The tool is intended to &#8220;democratize&#8221; access to scientific data, making it more comprehensible for non-researchers.
Sharing the development on X, formerly Twitter, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said NASA's geospatial data offers insights on climate, air quality, and disasters, but its complexity makes it hard to navigate.
&#8220;With Earth Copilot, they&#8217;re making it easier than ever for anyone to access that data,&#8221; he stated.

At present, Earth Copilot is exclusively&nbsp;available to NASA scientists and&nbsp;researchers for evaluation of its capabilities.
The subsequent step will be to consider&nbsp;its integration into NASA's Visualization,&nbsp;Exploration, and Data Analysis (VEDA)platform, which already provides&nbsp;access to some of the&nbsp;agency&#8217;s data.

Satya Nadella Touts Microsoft's Latest AI Mission: Making NASA's Earth Data Speak Plain English

&nbsp;XRP and Litecoin racked up impressive gains Thursday even as blue-chip cryptocurrencies took a breather.
What happened: Payment-focused cryptocurrency XRP emerged as the best-performing cryptocurrency in the last 24 hours, surging nearly 18%.&nbsp;
The coin's trading volume soared 50% to $10.54 billion, making it one of the most traded cryptocurrencies in the last 24 hours.
The rally followed SEC Chair Gary Gensler's remarks <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41993524/gary-gensler-hints-at-ending-his-stint-as-sec-chair-defends-crypto-regulation-agenda">suggesting he may be ending his stint</a>.&nbsp;

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) hard fork Litecoin was also among the top gainers, surging over 8% in the last 24 hours. The proof-of-work (PoW) cryptocurrency topped $84 for the first time in over five months.&nbsp;
The jump came in response to a rather bizarre post by Litecoin's X handle, declaring that it identifies itself as a meme coin.&nbsp;
While the objective may have been to humorously contrast LTC&#8217;s lackluster trajectory with that of meme currencies, it seems that the bait worked.

Gary Gensler's Departure Talk Fuels XRP, 'Meme Coin' Play Powers Litecoin As Action Shifts To Lagging Altcoins

Prominent Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) investor Ross Gerber blasted Tesla&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41988194/trump-plans-to-erase-ev-tax-credit-analyst-says-its-net-bullish-calls-sell-off-wrong-knee-jerk-reaction">reported support for eliminating the $7,500 federal electric vehicle tax credit</a>, calling the position &#8220;insanity&#8221; on social media platform X. 
What Happened: The CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management was responding to reports that Tesla is backing the President-elect Donald Trump administration&#8217;s plans to end the incentive.
The move appears to contradict Tesla&#8217;s stated mission of accelerating the world&#8217;s transition to sustainable transport. According to a recent Reuters report, Tesla has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41988194/trump-plans-to-erase-ev-tax-credit-analyst-says-its-net-bullish-calls-sell-off-wrong-knee-jerk-reaction">indicated support for removing the tax credit</a> despite having previously lobbied for the incentive, which has boosted the company&#8217;s U.S. sales in recent years.
The shift in Tesla&#8217;s stance comes as CEO Elon Musk, who has endorsed Trump, reportedly believes eliminating the credit would harm competitors more than Tesla. This marks a departure from Musk&#8217;s previous positions, including his resignation from Trump&#8217;s business council in 2017 over the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement.

Why It Matters: Investment experts are divided on the potential impact. Gary Black, managing partner at The Future Fund LLC, warns that Tesla has the most to lose, noting that removing the credit would effectively raise Tesla&#8217;s U.S. vehicle prices by 20% and affect <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41998381/tesla-earnings-will-be-hit-hardest-if-7500-ev-credit-is-cut-warns-gary-black-citing-80-dependence-on-ev-sales-please-do-the-math">roughly 30% of its global sales</a>. 
However, Wedbush analyst Dan Ives suggests the move could ultimately benefit Tesla due to its superior scale compared to competitors.
The debate intensifies as Tesla aims for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/41894615/tesla-q4-deliveries-expected-to-set-new-records-but-not-enough-to-avoid-yearly-sales-decline-says-researcher">record sales in the fourth quarter of 2024</a> to avoid its first annual decline in deliveries. The potential elimination of the tax credit would require congressional approval and could significantly impact EV adoption in the United States, which already lags behind other major markets.
Price Action: Tesla stock closed at $311.18 on Thursday, down 5.77% for the day. In after-hours trading, Tesla slipped a further 1.15%. Despite recent drops, Tesla's stock has gained 25.26% year to date, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Long-Time Tesla Bull Rages As Elon Musk Reportedly Backs Trump's Plan To Ax $7.5K EV Credit: 'Insanity'

Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>), deemed the Donald Trump-led Republican triumph the &#8220;biggest&#8221; bullish catalyst for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) over the last four years.
What Happened: In an interview with CNBC on Thursday, Saylor said that the &#8220;red wave&#8221; has been &#8220;incredibly auspicious&#8221; for Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency industry.
The Bitcoin bull anticipated a friendlier SEC at the helm amid speculations of current chair Gary Gensler stepping aside.
&#8220;It&#8217;s very good for the cryptocurrency industry. We&#8217;re going to see a lot more pro-Bitcoin policies. We are going to see a digital assets framework. We are going to see an end to the war on crypto.,&#8221; Saylor predicted.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
With the election uncertainty behind, Saylor also ruled out any major bearish events for Bitcoin in the foreseeable future.
&#8220;I am planning the $100,000 party, and I am thinking it is probably going to be New Year&#8217;s Eve at my house. So, I would be surprised if we don&#8217;t go through $100,000 in November or December,&#8221; Saylor said in a burst of enthusiasm.

Why It Matters: Saylor&#8217;s bullish sentiment aligned with the ongoing success of his company&#8217;s publicly-traded stock. 
MicroStrategy&#8217;s shares hit a record high earlier this week, pushing the firm&#8217;s market valuation to $72.26 billion, a $50 billion increase since September 6. This gain <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41961419/bitcoin-proxy-microstrategy-added-more-to-its-market-cap-in-last-2-months-than-what-ford-is-worth-currently">surpassed the total capitalization</a> of Ford Motor Co. (F) and Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CTSH#NASDAQ">CTSH</a>).
The firm, known famously as Bitcoin&#8217;s biggest corporate holder, was sitting on unrealized profits of over $12.7 billion as of this writing, <a href="https://bitcointreasuries.net/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">according&nbsp;</a>to data from bitcointreasuries.net.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The company&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41646462/michael-saylor-says-bitcoin-remedy-to-fix-unhealthy-balance-sheets-as-microstrategy-unveil" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">announced plans</a>&nbsp;to raise as much as $42 billion in equity and debt funding over the next three years to accumulate more Bitcoin.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $88,288.00, down 1.73% 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.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Michael Saylor Is Planning A Bitcoin $100K Party At His House, Expects End Of War On Crypto Under Trump

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell faced sharp criticism from prominent economist Mohamed El-Erian following a Dallas Chamber event Thursday, where Powell&#8217;s cautious stance on rate cuts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/treasuries/24/11/41993899/powells-hawkish-remarks-shake-markets-stocks-fall-dollar-rockets-bitcoin-dips">triggered significant market movements</a>.
What Happened: El-Erian, Chief Economic Advisor at Allianz, critiqued Powell&#8217;s performance on social media platform X, noting that the Fed chair &#8220;struggled with smart questions&#8221; and &#8220;confused the economics of different possible scenarios.&#8221; 
El-Erian suggested Powell might avoid similar interview formats in the future, particularly highlighting the chair&#8217;s unclear response regarding new monetary frameworks.
During the Dallas event, Powell emphasized the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/treasuries/24/11/41993899/powells-hawkish-remarks-shake-markets-stocks-fall-dollar-rockets-bitcoin-dips">U.S. economy&#8217;s exceptional strength</a> while maintaining a careful position on potential rate cuts. &#8220;Inflation is running much closer to our 2% longer-run goal, but it is not there yet. We are committed to finishing the job,&#8221; Powell stated, indicating no rush to lower rates despite market expectations.

Why It Matters: The Fed chair pointed to increased productivity as a key factor in recent economic performance, noting that productivity growth over the past five years has outpaced the two decades before the pandemic. This strength, Powell suggested, allows for a more measured approach to monetary policy decisions.
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), which tracks the benchmark S&amp;P 500 index, fell 0.64% as investors recalibrated their rate cut expectations. Technology stocks felt the pressure, with the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), representing the Nasdaq-100 index, declining 0.69%. Small-cap stocks bore the brunt of the selling, as evidenced by the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>) dropping 1.35%, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
Powell&#8217;s remarks triggered a sharp <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">repricing</a> in rate cut expectations, with the CME FedWatch Tool showing the probability of a December rate reduction falling to 58.9% from nearly 80%. This shift came after Powell emphasized the economy&#8217;s remarkable strength and indicated no urgency to lower rates.

Mohamed El-Erian Criticizes Fed Chair Powell's Interview Performance: 'He Struggled With Some Of The Smart Questions'

Widely-followed cryptocurrency analyst Willy Woo threw a jibe at economist Peter Schiff for attempting to stay relevant by dunking on Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>).
What Happened: On Thursday, Woo took to X to describe a rather unique perspective on Bitcoin. He said that the leading cryptocurrency was more than just a digital form of money, instead likening it to a &#8220;squatter living rent-free in people&#8217;s minds.&#8221;
&#8220;After a while, there's only 2 paths: you buy it and become rich or you keep hating and turn crazy,&#8221; Woo added.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">People think <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Bitcoin?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Bitcoin</a> is digital money but they miss the point.

Woo&#8217;s remark was in response to Schiff, who sarcastically suggested that the Social Security Trust Fund should sell all of its Treasuries to buy Bitcoin. 
Schiff&#8217;s comment was a tongue-in-cheek critique of Bitcoin&#8217;s volatile nature and the potential economic catastrophe he believed could ensue if the U.S. government were to establish a Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) reserve.
Why It Matters: Schiff&#8217;s views on Bitcoin have been controversial, and many have accused him of doing engagement farming by repeatedly mentioning the coin in his X posts.
His critics <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/05/38781124/peter-schiff-says-he-gets-a-kick-out-of-fanatics-accusing-him-of-secretly-owning-bitcoin-t" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">believe he secretly owns Bitcoin</a>, in contrast to the overtly critical positions he takes on social media. The economist has consistently denied this claim
Earlier this week, Schiff <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41891221/peter-schiff-says-he-would-have-loaded-up-on-bitcoin-had-he-known-that-the-btc-bubble-would-get-this-big">dismissed Bitcoin&#8217;s bull run</a> as a &#8220;popular delusion&#8221; and &#8220;madness of crowds,&#8221; predicting staggering losses when the bubble finally pops. He has also warned that if the U.S. government began buying Bitcoin, it could trigger a market crash.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $88,160.96, down 2.36% 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.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
