Malaysia's unity government is under swelling pressure to reject Nick Adams, an Australian‑born self‑styled "alpha male" influencer tapped by President Donald Trump as U.S. ambassador, a move critics warn could complicate looming tariff talks with Washington.
What Happened: Adams has praised Israel's war in Gaza and branded pro‑Palestinian demonstrators terror backers, positions that collide with Malaysia's pro‑Palestine stance and its decades‑long freeze on diplomatic ties with Israel.
Youth leaders from Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's party plan to deliver a protest memorandum to the U.S. Embassy, while Islamist politicians and dozens of civil‑society groups call the nomination "an open insult" to Muslim sensibilities, reports Reuters.
Diplomats say Kuala Lumpur could quietly delay granting approval rather than refuse outright, but either move risks retaliation as Malaysia seeks relief from a prospective <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/07/46285151/trump-tariffs-japan-yen-etfs-market-reaction">25% U.S. tariff</a> on key exports.
Adams is expected to clear the Republican-controlled Senate, yet, former Malaysian envoys insist Putrajaya must demand "decorum, cultural sensitivity and respect" from any American envoy.

Why It Matters: The dispute comes as Trump's other diplomatic picks stumble. Anjani Sinha, nominated for Singapore, floundered during a Senate hearing when pressed on basic facts about the city‑state and ASEAN.
Meanwhile, Mike Waltz, Trump's choice for U.N. ambassador, is fending off questions about a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45156022/trump-boots-mike-waltz-as-national-security-adviser-taps-marco-rubio-as-interim-replacement">leaked Signal chat</a> that exposed high‑level discussions and prompted a national‑security probe.
Opponents of Adams flag his online broadsides against those who "teach Islam in schools" and his praise for restaurant chain Hooters as evidence that he is unfit for duty in a diverse Muslim‑majority nation.
Analyst Shahriman Lockman warns in a statement to Reuters that Anwar faces a "damned‑if‑you‑do, damned‑if‑you‑don't" choice. Rejecting Adams may soothe domestic anger but harden U.S. trade demands, while accepting him could erode the ruling coalition's Islamist flank.

Trump's 'Alpha Male' Influencer Envoy Spurs Backlash In Malaysia, Puts Country's PM In Quandary

Shares of Opendoor Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OPEN#NASDAQ">OPEN</a>) have been surging this week following renewed interest from activists and fresh enthusiasm from retail investors.
What Happened: On Wednesday, the company&#8217;s shares rallied 43.27%, resulting in weekly gains of 91% and 161% over the past month.
The stock's sharp move followed public comments from EMJ Capital founder Eric Jackson, who suggested the real estate tech firm, which pioneered instant cash offers for properties, could be worth as much as $82 per share if it executes effectively and restores investor confidence.

&#8220;If standing between a 50¢ stock and an $82 one is what it takes — and shareholders want it — I'll saddle up again for OPEN,&#8221; Jackson posted on X, referring to his prior stints as an activist investor at Yahoo, while expressing his willingness to reengage, if his efforts can lead to substantial upside in a stock.
Jackson criticized the notion of a quick acquisition or capital restructuring as a path to value creation. &#8220;You don't get to $82 through M&amp;A. You get there by grinding, executing, and proving the model,&#8221; he added, calling instead for a stronger operational focus.

He further urged the company&#8217;s CEO, Carrie Wheeler, to instill confidence among investors by buying shares in the open market, citing similar moves by Carvana Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVNA#NYSE">CVNA</a>) CEO, Ernest Garcia III.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Jackson also outlined a step-by-step plan to restore investor trust, including scrapping any potential reverse stock split and bringing back company co-founder Keith Rabois, who echoed Jackson&#8217;s statements, while referring to Wheeler as &#8220;utterly incompetent,&#8221; in a post <a href="https://x.com/rabois/status/1945177085086937467">on</a> X.
Why It Matters: Opendoor&#8217;s shares are down 96% from their all-time high in early 2021, and this is after the 161% rally over the past month.
Jackson, who calls himself &#8220;the Carvana hedge fund guy,&#8221; referring to his early bet on the used car retailer at $21, which now trades up 1,576%, draws parallels between the two, with both having been beaten down from their all-time highs.

Sen.&nbsp;Elizabeth Warren&nbsp;(D-Mass.) once again voiced her concerns about cryptocurrency-related bills on Wednesday, citing President Donald Trump&#8217;s involvement and potential Big Tech exploitation.
What Happened: During an interview with Bloomberg, Warren&nbsp;said that the GENIUS Act and the CLARITY Act &#8220;don&#8217;t&nbsp;do anything about Trump&#8217;s corruption.&#8221;
&#8220;They also don&#8217;t put enough safeguards in place for consumer protection to make sure that terrorists and human traffickers, and drug traffickers can&#8217;t use the system and guardrails to make sure that crypto isn&#8217;t used to blow up our entire economy,&#8221; the senior lawmaker added.

Warren also raised objections to what she said was a provision in the CLARITY Act that could allow large companies like Amazon and Meta to sidestep SEC oversight by &#8220;digitizing themselves,&#8221; or in other words, issuing cryptocurrency tokens.
Notably, Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott (R-S.C.) previously said that the bill includes &#8220;appropriate illicit finance protections,&#8221; and protects investors while fostering innovation.

Hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman has pledged a $10 million endowment to the Junior Tennis Champions Center (JTCC) after the International Tennis Hall of Fame declined his donation.
What Happened: Ackman took to X on Wednesday to announce the endowment.
&#8220;In a world where no good deed goes unpunished, I will do my best to attempt another good deed for the sport of tennis, now that the @TennisHalloFame has rejected our donation apparently for &#8216;optics,&#8217; whatever that means,&#8221; Ackman wrote.
He then went on to praise the JTCC for its junior development program, which has produced notable players like Frances Tiafoe, Denis Kudla, and Robin Montgomery.
Ackman also highlighted the JTCC&#8217;s contribution to players who did not pursue professional careers but used their tennis skills to earn college scholarships. He also lauded the JTCC&#8217;s programs for adult beginners and the leadership of Ray Benton, who is retiring this year.
To honor Benton and the JTCC's program, Ackman committed to a $10 million endowment, which he will personally manage at no cost. The endowment will grow over time through compounding, with 5% of its future average value distributed annually to support JTCC's initiatives, he said.

Bill Ackman Says 'No Good Deed Goes Unpunished' After Tennis Hall Of Fame Rejects Donation, Will Gift $10 Million To Grassroots Program Instead

AT&amp;T Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/T#NYSE">T</a>) has deployed Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) to power its internal generative AI platform, &#8220;Ask AT&amp;T,&#8221; which now serves 100,000 employees across 71 production solutions.
What Happened: The telecommunications giant launched Ask AT&amp;T in June 2023 as a comprehensive GenAI platform that leverages Palantir&#8217;s ontology system to create a digital twin of AT&amp;T&#8217;s network infrastructure. Mark Austin, AT&amp;T&#8217;s Vice President of data science, <a href="https://www.z.com/ai-machine-learning/-ask-at-t-gives-network-management-a-genai-facelift">told</a> Light Reading that software coding assistance represents the platform&#8217;s top use case.
&#8220;We&#8217;ve been working with [Palantir] for a number of years before their AI platform was launched and our network engineers found a way to utilize the platform that allowed them to build an ontology that represented the things that we see and do in the network everyday,&#8221; said Dan Wagner, AT&amp;T&#8217;s director of technology.
The platform has delivered measurable operational improvements. Customer service agents using Ask AT&amp;T respond 33% faster to queries, while AI-powered dispatch optimization helps AT&amp;T avoid costly truck rolls from its 20 million annual &#8220;811&#8221; calls for underground utility location services.

Why It Matters: AT&amp;T&#8217;s partnership with Palantir extends beyond basic AI applications. The collaboration utilizes Palantir&#8217;s operational ontology layer to enable network engineers to develop new GenAI use cases through a low-code environment. This approach reduces barriers to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46405407/palantir-stock-is-on-fire-shares-hit-another-all-time-high-whats-fueling-the-momentum">entry for employees with varying technical skill sets</a>.
The deployment comes as Palantir trades at $150.91, up 100.70% year-to-date.

22nd Century Group Stock Jumps 75% After Hour On News Of Reduced-Nicotine Push

On Wednesday, a trial began in Delaware, where Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) shareholders are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46391634/mark-zuckerberg-expected-to-appear-as-star-witness-in-8-billion-trial-over-alleged-privacy-violations">seeking $8 billion in damages</a> from top executives, including Mark Zuckerberg, Peter Thiel and Sheryl Sandberg, over alleged failures to protect user data following the Cambridge Analytica scandal.
What Happened: At the trial's opening, privacy law expert Neil Richards testified, "Facebook's privacy disclosures were misleading," <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/jul/16/meta-shareholders-sue-zuckerberg-thiel-sandberg-ftc-fines">reported</a> The Guardian.
The non-jury trial is being overseen by Delaware Chancery Court Chief Judge Kathaleen McCormick, who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44269713/elon-musk-challenges-judges-decision-seeks-reinstatement-of-record-56-billion-tesla-payout">previously voided</a> Elon Musk's $56 billion Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) pay package.
The lawsuit claims Zuckerberg and other board members failed to uphold a 2012 agreement with the Federal Trade Commission requiring Facebook to safeguard user privacy.&nbsp;
What Is The Lawsuit About: The alleged oversight led to the 2018 revelations that data from millions of users had been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/18/10/12440084/why-facebooks-recent-hack-is-much-worse-than-cambridge-analytica">harvested by political consultancy</a> Cambridge Analytica, known for Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.
Following the scandal, the FTC fined Facebook $5 billion in 2019, citing violations of the prior settlement. Shareholders now argue that the company's leadership should personally reimburse Meta for that fine and related legal costs, totaling over $8 billion.

The defendants — including venture capitalist Marc Andreessen and Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) co-founder Reed Hastings — deny wrongdoing.
They say Facebook hired outside consultants to ensure FTC compliance and that the company was misled by Cambridge Analytica. Zuckerberg is also accused of selling Facebook stock before the scandal broke, allegedly profiting by at least $1 billion.
His legal team insists the sales followed a pre-approved trading plan designed to avoid insider trading.
Why It's Important: This is the first Caremark oversight lawsuit to go to trial, targeting board members for allegedly failing to monitor corporate conduct — a historically difficult legal claim to prove, the report said.
However, Delaware courts have shown more openness to such cases. A similar case involving Boeing Co.'s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) board resulted in a $237.5 million settlement.
Price Action: Meta shares fell 1.05% on Wednesday, closing at $702.91, but recovered slightly with a 0.19% gain in after-hours trading, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings indicate that META continues to exhibit consistent upward momentum over the short, medium and long term. While its growth score remains strong, the stock's value rating lags behind. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-4/#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Additional performance insights are available here</a>.

What Happened: Bitcoin topped $120,000 in the evening before plummeting to a low of $117,255.02 overnight, even as trading volume dipped 21% in the last 24 hours.
The so-called ‘Crypto Week' continued to hit roadblocks due to disagreements among GOP lawmakers<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46458679/trump-backed-crypto-bills-stalled-again-in-house-of-representatives-marjorie-taylor-greene-holds-out-on-cbdc-ban-will-not-vote-for-this"> regarding key cryptocurrency bills</a>.
Ethereum recorded a steeper spike, surging past the $3,000–$3,400 resistance zone.

The rally hit bearish traders, with nearly $300 million in short positions getting erased in the last 24 hours.
Bitcoin's open interest rose marginally by 0.58% in the last 24 hours, while funds locked in Ethereum's derivatives jumped 4%. Meanwhile, the majority of Binance traders with open BTC positions were short as of this writing.

The global cryptocurrency market capitalization stood at $3.79 trillion, following a jump of 2.24% in the last 24 hours.
Stocks bounced back sharply on Wednesday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lifted 231.49 points, or 0.53%, to end at 44,254.78. The S&amp;P 500 rose 0.32% to end at 6,263.70. The tech-focused Nasdaq Composite added 0.18% to clock yet another record close of 20,640.33.
Drama unfolded after a senior White House official hinted that Trump is planning to remove Fed Chair Powell. However, Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46449521/donald-trump-to-fire-jerome-powell-polymarket-traders-say-no-but">quickly downplayed the reports</a>, saying it is "highly unlikely" he will do so in the near future.
Interestingly, the odds of a 25 basis point rate cut at the Federal Reserve&#8217;s September meeting increased from 54.5% to 56.3%, <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">according </a>to the CME FedWatch tool.&nbsp;

Analyst Notes: In a note to Benzinga, the analytics team at Bitcoin yield protocol TeraHash said that if <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46441190/600m-in-1-day-why-are-bitcoin-ethereum-etf-suddenly-so-bullish">exchange-traded flows</a> persist and cryptocurrency bills pass through, Bitcoin could see a $3 trillion valuation by year-end.
"We see this as Bitcoin's transition from ‘digital gold' to monetary infrastructure," the analysts said.
Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez flagged $3,980 as a key resistance for Ethereum, breaking which could "ignite a major bull rally."

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Climb Amid Trump-Powell Turbulence: Analyst Says BTC Could Reach $3 Trillion Market Cap By Year-End If This Happens

Seven &amp; i Holdings (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SVNDY#OTC">SVNDY</a>) shares tumbled 9% on Thursday on the Tokyo exchange to a low of 2,000 Japanese Yen ($13.50) after Canada&#8217;s Alimentation Couche-Tard (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANCTF#OTC">ANCTF</a>) withdrew its $47 billion takeover bid, citing &#8220;persistent lack of good faith engagement.&#8221; Trading resumed at 10:16 a.m. local time following a halt.
Couche-Tard pulled its enhanced $18.19 per share offer, valuing the 7-Eleven operator at 7 trillion yen. The Canadian retailer had raised its bid 22% from August&#8217;s initial $14.86 proposal, which Seven &amp; i rejected as undervalued.
Seven &amp; i disputed Couche-Tard&#8217;s withdrawal rationale, calling the termination &#8220;unilateral.&#8221; The Japanese convenience store giant replaced CEO Ryuichi Isaka with Stephen Dacus in May.

Seven & i Crashes 9% After Couche-Tard Yanks $47 Billion Takeover Bid, Slams 'Lack of Good Faith' Talks — Tokyo Retail Giant Calls Move 'Unilateral'

Real‑estate millionaire Barbara Corcoran says she built a hugely successful brokerage by turning work into "the wildest parties in town" and not a slog of rules and layoffs.
What Happened: "Fun is the most under‑utilized tool in business," the 76‑year‑old "Shark Tank" investor <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/posts/barbaracorcoran_fun-goodtimes-employeeretention-activity-7347987853001277445-9Ay6/">wrote</a> on LinkedIn, recalling how she kept turnover near zero at The Corcoran Group.
Corcoran's perk list reads like a county fair program. Mid‑week picnics with 5,000‑pound elephant rides, 60‑foot hot‑air balloons, in‑office massages, yoga and manicures, plus laundry machines and babysitters "for the moms who felt stressed at work."
She once purchased a Bentley for her star broker. "It wasn't about the car, it was about making her feel like a star in front of the whole company," she said, noting that competition for the next big gesture went through the roof.

Corcoran also ran a one‑dollar "good‑idea jar" and handed out gold ribbons for every million‑dollar closing, arguing that recognition motivates more than money. She sold the firm for $66 million in 2001 but says agents still line up to work there because the culture survived the sale to Anywhere Real Estate.
Why It Matters: Her carnival‑style playbook clashes with the harsher tone dominating many boardrooms. Meta Platforms&#8217; chief Mark Zuckerberg declared a "Year of Efficiency," cutting more than <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39314161/zuckerberg-targets-metas-top-brass-in-planned-job-cuts-as-his-wealth-hits-181b-stock-price-soars">20,000 jobs</a> in over 2 years in 2024 and dangling reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45988600/mark-zuckerbergs-meta-dangled-100-million-signing-bonuses-to-openai-team-members-says-sam-altman-happy-none-of-our-best-people-took-them">$100 million signing bonuses</a> for prized AI recruits.
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/financing/25/06/45878903/jpmorgan-ceo-jamie-dimon-urges-managers-to-stop-running-meetings-to-impress-the-boss-and-start-confronting-real-problems-head-on">warned managers</a> to stop "running meetings to impress the boss" and is forcing workers back to their desks.

Barbara Corcoran, Who Sold Her Real Estate Empire For $66 Million Decades Ago, Says This Is The 'Most Under-Utilized' Tool In The Workplace

Chinese-linked cybercriminals have reportedly intensified their attacks on Taiwan's semiconductor industry, targeting companies and financial analysts amid escalating <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44770461/intel-on-slump-as-china-hits-us-made-chips-with-tariffs-amd-and-taiwan-semiconductor-rise-on-exemption-boost">U.S. export restrictions</a>, according to cybersecurity researchers.
What Happened: In a new analysis released Wednesday, cybersecurity firm Proofpoint reported a spike in cyber-espionage campaigns by at least three China-aligned hacking groups between March and June of this year, with some activity still ongoing, according to Reuters.
"We've seen entities that we hadn't ever seen being targeted in the past being targeted," said Mark Kelly, a threat researcher at Proofpoint focused on Chinese-related threats.
The hackers reportedly targeted 15 to 20 organizations, including semiconductor firms, small businesses, and analysts at at least one U.S.-based international bank.
