The ongoing public dispute between the CEO of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), Elon Musk, and President Donald Trump has caused a stir in the financial markets, wiping nearly $155 billion of investor wealth in a single day.
What Happened: The Musk-Trump dynamic took a sharp turn after the former began criticizing the government&#8217;s new tax bill, terming it a &#8220;spending bill&#8221; and calling it a &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45757029/elon-musk-slams-congressional-spending-bill-as-a-disgusting-abomination">disgusting abomination</a>&#8221; earlier this week.
This comes after Musk&#8217;s late May <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45661836/tesla-stock-gains-215-after-hours-as-elon-musk-ends-doge-government-role">exit from the Department of Government Efficiency</a>, or DOGE, which was directed to reducing the &#8220;wasteful spending&#8221; by the administration. &#8211;
On Thursday, Musk and Trump engaged in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45800612/trump-says-musk-has-trump-derangement-syndrome-as-battle-over-bill-heats-up-had-a-great-relationship-dont-know-if-we-will-anymore">very public spat</a> on social media, and both were seen allaying accusations against each other.
These developments dragged the stocks linked to their businesses lower in trade. While Tesla&#8217;s market capitalization dropped from $1,069 billion to $916.7 billion, the firm erased <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/movers-shakers/25/06/45807280/elon-musk-bleeds-34-billion-as-tesla-shares-tank-14-amid-spat-with-trump-how-the-billionaires-fortune-has-fared-so-far-in-2025">$152.3 billion</a> of investor wealth.
Similarly, the market cap of Destiny Tech100 Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DXYZ#NYSE">DXYZ</a>) fund, which owns 34.6% of Musk&#8217;s SpaceX, tumbled from $466 million to $408 million, destroying $58 million of the wealth.
On the other hand, Trump Media &amp; Technology Group Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>) wiped $490 million of the investor wealth, which is held by the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42609228/trump-transfers-entire-djt-stake-to-revocable-trust-ahead-of-inauguration">Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust</a>, with Trump being the sole beneficiary of the trust.

President's aides have even scheduled a call with Musk to potentially resolve the conflict.
However, the shares of these companies witnessed a sharp drop on Thursday.

Noah And ARK Outline Wealth Allocation Strategy Amid Global Volatility, Highlight AI Disruption, Tariffs, And Alternative Investment Demand

Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) Chief Brokerage Officer Steve Quirk credited retail investors with stabilizing markets following President Donald Trump&#8216;s sweeping tariff announcement in April, while highlighting record-breaking overnight trading volumes that signal a fundamental shift in market behavior.
What Happened: Speaking at the Piper Sandler Global Exchange &amp; Trading Conference on Thursday, Quirk said this marked the second time retail traders rescued volatile markets, Reuters reported. &#8220;This is the second occurrence where I would argue retail came to the rescue of the market. COVID was probably the first,&#8221; he stated.
The market turmoil followed Trump&#8217;s April 2 tariff announcement, which roiled global markets and scuttled dealmaking. Retail investors responded by purchasing $4.7 billion in stocks on April 3, the highest single-day level in the past decade, according to JPMorgan estimates, according to the report.
Overnight trading has emerged as a key growth driver for Robinhood, with May representing the company&#8217;s biggest month ever for after-hours trading volume. The platform estimates up to 25% of total daily trading volume on busy days now occurs outside traditional market hours.
&#8220;You will look back in a couple years and laugh at the notion that we waited until 9:30 Eastern for trading to start,&#8221; Quirk said, noting users in their 30s &#8220;do the research and homework in the evening&#8221; and expect round-the-clock trading access.

Why It Matters: Robinhood reported record metrics for May, with total platform assets reaching an all-time high above $250 billion. Year-to-date net deposits climbed 40% to approximately $28 billion, while equity trading volumes rose 10% month-over-month and options <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45794817/robinhood-stock-is-rising-thursday-whats-going-on">contracts hit all-time highs</a>.
Price Action: Robinhood Markets Inc. closed at $72.51 on Thursday, up 0.33%. In pre-market trading, the stock rose 1.70% to $73.74. Year to date, it&#8217;s up 83.85%.
According to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, Robinhood shows strong momentum and impressive growth, with a low value score indicating premium pricing. However, the stock maintains a positive price trend across the short to long term.

Amazon Bets Big On Taiwan With $5 Billion Cloud Push, Launches New AWS Region To Power AI And Data Growth

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed some decline in the overall market sentiment, while the index remained in the &#8220;Greed&#8221; zone on Thursday.
U.S. stocks settled lower on Thursday, with the S&amp;P 500 recording losses following a decline in Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) shares.
Ciena Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CIEN#NYSE">CIEN</a>) shares dipped 13% on Thursday after the company reported downbeat earnings for its fiscal second quarter. PVH Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PVH#NYSE">PVH</a>) tumbled 18% after the company cut its FY25 guidance below estimates and issued second-quarter adjusted EPS guidance below estimates.
On the economic data front, unit labour costs in the US nonfarm business sector rose 6.6% during the first quarter, while nonfarm business sector labor productivity in the U.S. declined by 1.5% in the first quarter. The U.S. trade gap shrank to $61.6 billion in April, recording the lowest level since September 2023.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a negative note, with consumer discretionary, materials and consumer staples stocks recording the biggest losses on Thursday. However, communication services stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session higher.
The Dow Jones closed lower by around 108 points to 42,319.74 on Thursday. The S&amp;P 500 fell 0.53% to 5,939.30, while the Nasdaq Composite dipped 0.83% to 19,298.45 during Thursday's session.

What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
At a current reading of 58.3, the index remained in the &#8220;Greed&#8221; zone on Thursday, versus a prior reading of 59.1.
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

ABM Gears Up For Q2 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) has denied reports that it is re-entering the Chinese market with a new AI chip, despite a previous ban by the U.S. government.
What Happened: Nvidia supplier, Shenzhen-based ZJK Industrial (ZJK) is ramping up production to cater to the increasing demand for Nvidia&#8217;s B40 project. The B40 chip, a custom AI accelerator, is specifically designed for the Chinese market and is based on Nvidia&#8217;s Blackwell architecture. ZJK stated that it aims to commence mass production as early as this month, <a href="https://www.investors.com/news/technology/nvidia-stock-chipmaker-preparing-to-reenter-china/?src=A00220&amp;ref=biztoc.com">reported</a> Investor&#8217;s Business Daily.
In a statement obtained by the publication, Nvidia denied the news. &#8220;We&nbsp;are still evaluating our limited&nbsp;options. Until we settle on&nbsp;a new product design and&nbsp;receive approval from the U.S.&nbsp;government, we are effectively foreclosed&nbsp;from China&#8217;s $50 billion data center market,&#8221; clarified the Jensen Huang-led company.
ZJK manufactures precision fasteners and metal parts for industries like electronics, automotive, aerospace, energy storage, medical devices, and AI supercomputer cooling systems. The company&#8217;s CEO, Ning Ding, highlighted the B40 project&#8217;s market advantages and expects B40 chip shipments&nbsp;to exceed one million units&nbsp;by the end of 2025.

Why It Matters: Reports of Nvidia re-entering the Chinese market come after the company abandoned the release of its Hopper series chip in China due to U.S. restrictions. Nvidia&#8217;s CEO, Jensen Huang, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45487468/nvidia-abandons-hopper-series-chip-release-in-china-due-to-us-restrictions-not-possible-to-modify-hopper-anymore">confirmed </a>that further modifications to the Hopper series were not feasible.
Moreover, Huang has previously criticized U.S. chip export controls as counterproductive to America's technological leadership. He revealed that Nvidia <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45513246/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-says-chinese-ai-researchers-are-world-class-and-us-companies-are-hiring-a-whole-bunch-of-them">wrote off</a> $5.5 billion in inventory and walked away from approximately $15 billion in sales due to these restrictions.
The company&#8217;s first-quarter financial results were also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45657660/nvidia-q1-highlights-china-export-ban-hits-results-but-jensen-huang-says-demand-incredibly-strong">impacted </a>by the China export ban. However, Huang stated that the demand was &#8216;incredibly strong.&#8217;
Benzinga's Edge Rankings place Nvidia in the 74th percentile for momentum and the 99th percentile for growth, reflecting its strong performance in both areas.

Nvidia Denies Report Of Re-Entering Chinese Market With Custom AI Chip, Despite US Restrictions: 'We Are Still Evaluating...'

A public spat between <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45805173/musk-vs-trump-tesla-suffers-record-152b-one-day-crash-as-ceo-warns-tariffs-will-cause-a-recession">Elon Musk and President Donald Trump</a> has placed approximately $22 billion in SpaceX contracts under threat. The conflict, sparked by Musk&#8217;s disapproval of Trump&#8217;s tax and spending policies, has intensified with Trump threatening to cancel government contracts with Musk&#8217;s companies.
In retaliation, Musk has announced plans to &#8220;decommission&#8221; SpaceX&#8217;s Dragon spacecraft, a critical element of NASA&#8217;s operations.
What Happened: The Dragon spacecraft, under a $5 billion contract, is the only U.S. vessel capable of transporting astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS), according to a Reuters report.
Its potential decommissioning raises concerns about the future of U.S. space programs. NASA press secretary Bethany Stevens stated, &#8220;We will continue to work with our industry partners to ensure the president&#8217;s objectives in space are met.&#8221;
Musk, however, backed down after a user urged Musk and Trump to "cool off."
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Good advice. Ok, we won't decommission Dragon.
&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1930796810928599163?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 6, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
In response, Musk said, "Good advice. Ok, we won't decommission Dragon."

SpaceX&#8217;s dominance in the space industry, established before Musk&#8217;s political involvement, may mitigate some financial impacts. However, analysts like Justus Parmar of Fortuna Investments warn of significant revenue losses and missed opportunities.
The feud has already affected Trump&#8217;s space agenda, including the removal of Musk ally Jared Isaacman as NASA administrator nominee.
SpaceX&#8217;s contracts with NASA and the Pentagon, valued at billions, are crucial for U.S. space security and exploration. Former NASA Deputy Administrator Lori Garver noted that cancelling these contracts might not be legal, but Musk&#8217;s actions could jeopardize astronaut safety.
Why It Matters: The escalating feud between Musk and Trump has already had significant financial repercussions. On the same day, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45805173/musk-vs-trump-tesla-suffers-record-152b-one-day-crash-as-ceo-warns-tariffs-will-cause-a-recession">experienced a record $152 billion market cap loss</a>, removing it from the $1 trillion club.
This decline followed Musk&#8217;s public criticism of Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Big Beautiful Bill.&#8221; The fallout has also drawn reactions from political figures like Sen. Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Mike Johnson, highlighting the unraveling relationship between Musk and Trump.

After Threatening To Scrap Dragon Spacecraft Amid Tussle With Trump, Musk Backs Down Following Social Media Plea: 'Good Advice'

Despite dodging some tariff impact from not having manufacturing operations in China, Dell Technologies Inc.&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>) growth is projected to subside in the second half of the fiscal year, explains this Gimme Credit analyst, as he prefers HP Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HPQ#NYSE">HPQ</a>).
What Happened: Even though the company has an artificial intelligence server backlog of $14 billion after the first quarter, Dave Novosel, senior investment analyst at Gimme Credit, highlighted that &#8220;lumpiness&#8221; of AI-enabled server sales was a &#8220;major issue.&#8221;
However, he said that &#8220;the torrid AI growth does not appear to be hurting traditional server growth, as traditional server revenue was up double digits in the quarter.&#8221;
According to management, a significant improvement is expected in servers and networking in the second quarter, given the aforementioned non-linear nature of orders.
However, Novosel said, &#8220;We expect growth to subside in the second half of the year, yet the overall gain for fiscal 2026 should be roughly 8%.&#8221;
The analyst also said that &#8220;Unlike HP, Dell has not suffered materially from tariffs and does not expect to over the next few quarters, attributable to the fact that it does not have manufacturing operations in China. The company indicated that the cost environment is deflationary within the PC business.
Talking about the debt issuances by both companies, Novosel said that &#8220;We find the HP spread compelling compared to other technology sector credits trading substantially tighter. We think Dell should trade considerably tighter than HP Inc. based on our near-term outlook for revenue and margins.&#8221;
The analyst maintained his &#8220;underperform&#8221; rating on the stock. 
&#8220;However, the 55 basis point difference seems extravagant. So we prefer HP at these levels and are keeping our underperform recommendation on Dell,&#8221; he added.
