Artificial intelligence systems can silently adopt hidden behaviors from data that appears meaningless and researchers now believe the quirk may be built into the wiring of neural networks, raising fresh safety worries.
What Happened: In a new study published on Tuesday, scientists in the Anthropic Fellows Program teamed with Truthful AI, Warsaw University of Technology and the Alignment Research Center to probe what they call "subliminal learning."
They trained a small "student" model on strings of numbers produced by a larger "teacher" model that happened to like owls. After training, the student also "preferred" owls, even though the word never appeared once in its lessons.

The transfer happened only when the two models shared the same architecture. Researchers say the bias slipped through tiny statistical quirks that ordinary filters and even advanced AI detectors missed.

Researchers found that the passed-on habits aren't always non-offensive. If the parent AI has risky behaviors, such as dodging tough questions or gaming the scoring system, those can sneak into the student, too. That means companies that shrink big AIs into smaller, cheaper versions could unknowingly pass along bad behavior.
Why It Matters: The researchers involved in the study add that subliminal learning may show up in all neural nets under the right conditions, meaning the issue could outlast any single fix.
Industry analysts say the findings land as developers race to stockpile synthetic data to cut costs. The report last week flagged investor concerns that weak oversight at some startups, including Elon Musk's xAI, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46460070/elon-musks-xai-faces-industry-backlash-over-reckless-ai-safety-practices-as-regulatory-scrutiny-intensifies">could let risky behaviors slip</a> into commercial chatbots.
Similarly, a separate review of user‑privacy lapses argued that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46334040/meta-copilot-flunk-ai-privacy-101-big-tech-is-playing-chicken-with-your-privacy">hidden risks are mounting</a> as generative platforms grow.

Anthropic Study Shows AI Chatbots Can Transfer Their Bad Habits Through Hidden Signals In Data

On Thursday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made significant trades, prominently featuring the purchase of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) shares across multiple ETFs. This move comes amidst a backdrop of strategic sell-offs in other notable cryptocurrency-linked stocks like Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>), Block Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XYZ#NYSE">XYZ</a>), and Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>), along with ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKB#BATS">ARKB</a>).
The Tesla Trade
Ark Invest&#8217;s decision to increase its stake in the EV maker was executed through three of its ETFs: ARK Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#BATS">ARKK</a>), ARK Autonomous Technology &amp; Robotics ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKQ#BATS">ARKQ</a>), and ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#BATS">ARKW</a>). The total shares acquired amounted to 143,190, with ARKK purchasing 101,398 shares, ARKQ adding 24,345 shares, and ARKW acquiring 17,447 shares. Based on Tesla&#8217;s latest closing price of $305.30, the total value of these transactions is approximately $43.7 million.
This strategic move follows Tesla&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46587882/tesla-q2-earnings-highlights-revenue-and-earnings-fall-short-new-models-still-set-for-2025-2026">recent financial results</a>, where the company reported second-quarter revenue of $22.5 billion, falling short of the expected $22.8 billion. Despite these challenges, Ark Invest remains bullish on Tesla, as highlighted by their continued investment. The Elon Musk-led company is still on track to release new models in 2025 and 2026, which could potentially bolster its market position.
The Coinbase Trade
Ark Invest reduced its holdings in the cryptocurrency trading platform by selling shares across two ETFs: ARKK and ARKW. The total shares sold were 30,501, with ARKK offloading 27,614 shares and ARKW selling 2,887 shares. The total value of the transaction was $12.1 million, based the stock&#8217;s closing price of $396.70. This decision comes as Coinbase&#8217;s stock recently hit a new 52-week high, driven by a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46473148/coinbase-global-stock-hit-a-new-52-week-high-today-whats-going-on">positive analyst revision</a> and favorable legislative developments. So far this year, Coinbase stock has popped 54.2% amid soaring Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) prices. The apex cryptocurrency touched a fresh all-time high last week of $123,091.61.
Notably, despite the sell-off, Coinbase continues to show strength in the market, with a revised price target of $470 from Rosenblatt analyst Chris Brendler.
The Block Trade
Ark Invest also trimmed its position in Block, selling 123,169 shares through the ARKK ETF. The transaction was valued at $9.8 million, based on the stock&#8217;s closing price of $79.77 on Thursday. This move follows Block&#8217;s announcement of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46511361/jack-dorseys-block-with-over-1-billion-in-bitcoin-holdings-set-to-join-sp-500-shares-pop-8-in-overnight-trading">joining the S&amp;P 500</a>, which led to a recent spike in the company&#8217;s stock. The fintech company, founded by Jack Dorsey, holds over $1 billion in Bitcoin, positioning it as a significant player in the cryptocurrency space.
As Block prepares for its S&amp;P 500 debut, Ark Invest&#8217;s decision to sell shares could be seen as a strategic realignment, potentially to capitalize on the stock&#8217;s recent gains. The company&#8217;s strong performance and market position continue to attract investor interest.
The Robinhood Trade
Ark Invest reduced its stake in the retail-oriented trading platform Robinhood Markets by selling 11,262 shares through the ARKW ETF. The transaction was valued at $1.1 million. Robinhood stock closed at $101.93 on Thursday. The company&#8217;s stock has been gaining traction, with its breakout potential highlighted by market analysts. The stock&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46419665/cramers-parc-playbook-robinhoods-breakout-potential-outshines-the-meme-stock-pack">technical strength</a> sets it apart, making it a noteworthy player in the retail trading space.
Robinhood remains a key component of Jim Cramer&#8217;s 2025 &#8216;PARC&#8217; basket, which includes other prominent companies like Palantir Technologies and Applovin Corp.
The ARKB Trade
Ark Invest also sold 28,906 shares of its Bitcoin-oriented ETF through the ARKW ETF. The transaction was valued at $1.1 million as ARKB ended Thursday at $39.57. The ETF, which focuses on Bitcoin investments, has been part of Ark&#8217;s portfolio amid the growing interest in digital currencies.
Notably, Ark has been selling ARKB shares recently. It <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/25/07/46433784/cathie-wood-doubles-down-on-tesla-despite-leadership-exodus-dumps-22-million-of-crypto-stocks-amid-bitcoin-buzz">offloaded 225,742 shares</a>, worth $8.74 million in mid-July. 
Other Key Trades:

Cathie Wood Pounces On Tesla Dip: Ark Snaps Up $43.7 Million In EV Stock While Ditching Crypto Shares Amid Bitcoin Frenzy

In a rare Presidential visit to the Federal Reserve headquarters, President Donald Trump publicly pressed Fed Chair Jerome Powell to deliver sharp interest rate cuts while criticizing the central bank's $2.5 billion renovation project.
What Happened: On Thursday, Trump once again pushed for a rate cut, saying, &#8220;I&#8217;d love him to lower interest rates,&#8221; while standing next to Powell during a tour of the Fed&#8217;s headquarters, which is currently under renovation, according to a Reuters report. 
This visit comes just days before the Fed's rate-setting committee meeting, where the central bank&#8217;s 19 policy-makers are widely expected to hold benchmark interest rates unchanged, in the 4.25% to 4.50% range. 
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/07/46569623/federal-reserve-rates-justified-despite-being-highest-among-g-10-peers-says-lpl-economist-as-trump-pressures-jerome-powell-to-exit">Federal Reserve Rates &#8216;Justified&#8217; Despite Being Highest Among G-10 Peers, Says LPL Economist As Trump Pressures Jerome Powell To Exit</a>
Tensions flared during the visit when Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46620784/trump-powell-clash-over-3-billion-federal-reserve-renovations-in-front-of-reporters">raised concerns</a> regarding the Fed&#8217;s massive renovation costs, which he says have ballooned to $3.1 billion. 
Powell responded, saying, &#8220;I&#8217;m not aware of that,&#8221; and when handed a piece of paper by Trump regarding the same, he said, &#8220;You just added in a third building,&#8221; referring to the Martin Building that was completed five years ago. 
In a Truth Social post later in the day, Trump commented on the renovation, saying, &#8220;It is what it is and, hopefully, it will be finished ASAP.&#8221; He adds that the cost overruns have been &#8220;substantial,&#8221; but on the &#8220;positive side,&#8221; he notes, &#8220;our Country is doing very well and can afford just about anything.&#8221;
<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="802" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/24215134/Screenshot-2025-07-25-at-7.21.22-AM-1024x802.png" alt="" class="wp-image-999936" style="width:515px;height:auto" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/24215134/Screenshot-2025-07-25-at-7.21.22-AM-1024x802.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/24215134/Screenshot-2025-07-25-at-7.21.22-AM-300x235.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/24215134/Screenshot-2025-07-25-at-7.21.22-AM-768x602.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/24215134/Screenshot-2025-07-25-at-7.21.22-AM.png 1174w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Despite mounting tensions, Trump told reporters after his visit that he does not intend to fire Powell, something that he has repeatedly threatened in the past. &#8220;To do so is a big move and I just don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s necessary,&#8221; he said.
Why It Matters: The Fed&#8217;s mounting renovation costs were criticized by the Office of Management and Budget Director&nbsp;Russell Vought, who said a week ago that &#8220;the Palace of Versailles would have cost $3 billion in today&#8217;s dollars,&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46361722/jerome-powell-has-grossly-mismanaged-says-russ-vought-as-fed-hq-renovation-costs-soar-to-2-5-billion-the-palace-of-versailles-would-have-cost-3-billion">highlighting the extravagance</a> of the project.
Powell has since <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/07/46485087/jerome-powell-defends-2-5-billion-fed-hq-overhaul-says-no-vip-dining-rooms-no-private-elevators-as-trump-allies-slam-project-over-versailles-style-excess">defended the Fed&#8217;s renovation</a> in a letter to Vought, saying that the project addresses &#8220;significant structural repairs&#8221; and updates &#8220;to make the buildings safe, healthy, and effective places to work.&#8221;
Speculation has been rife that Trump might use the cost overruns as grounds for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/07/46454852/trump-fed-powell-odds-inflation-markets">terminating Powell</a> &#8220;for cause,&#8221; following months of escalating tensions and public criticism.

Trump Says Not 'Necessary' To Fire Jerome Powell — But Presses Fed Chair On Rate Cuts And $2.5 Billion Renovation: 'I'd Love Him To Lower Interest Rates'

A wallet tied to Ripple co-founder and executive chairman Chris Larsen transferred out hundreds of millions worth of XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>) over the last week.
What happened: Around 50 million XRP tokens have been moved from the address since July 17, totaling $155 million at current prices, <a href="https://cryptoquant.com/analytics/query/6882714ad2c0111861de7ca8?v=6882714ad2c0111861de7ca9">according </a>to on-chain analytics firm CryptoQuant. 
The address associated with Larsen still has 2.28 billion XRP left, worth over $7 billion, accounting for 3.80% of XRP&#8217;s total market capitalization.
On-chain detective ZachXBT stated that 40 million XRP was moved to exchanges and services, while 10 million XRP was transferred to two new wallets.

XRP Falls Nearly 2.5% As Ripple Co-Founder Transfers $150 Million Worth Of Coins From Wallet — Analyst Says, 'He's Dumping On You'

Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) is undertaking sweeping layoffs and global project cuts as part of a major overhaul aimed at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43680696/bill-gates-has-a-soft-spot-for-intel-but-says-the-chip-giant-has-lost-its-way-questions-whether-the-company-can-recover-after-ceo-exit-and-falling-behind-in-ai">restoring its competitive edge</a> in the AI-dominated semiconductor landscape.
What Happened: On Thursday, after posting its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46617195/intel-q2-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-miss-chipmaker-sees-clear-opportunities-to-enhance-competitive-position">second-quarter earnings</a>, Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan shared a memo with employees saying that the company will reduce its workforce to 75,000 employees by the end of the year through layoffs and attrition.
According to an Associated Press <a href="https://apnews.com/article/intel-chips-layoffs-a3a83e4bb8cd71e2615e964b432dd37f">report</a>, this figure represents a 31% drop from the 108,900 employees Intel reported at the end of last year.
"I know the past few months have not been easy," Tan wrote. "We are making hard but necessary decisions to streamline the organization, drive greater efficiency and increase accountability at every level of the company."

Earlier, Intel announced that it is reducing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46199580/microsoft-rivian-intel-slash-jobs-in-june-tech-layoff-spree">15% to 20% of jobs within</a> its Foundry division.
Alongside the layoffs, Intel is scrapping expansion plans in Germany and Poland and relocating some assembly and testing operations from Costa Rica to Vietnam and Malaysia. The Costa Rica site will continue to host key engineering and corporate teams.
In the U.S., construction of a much-anticipated semiconductor facility in Ohio will be "further" delayed, Tan said in the memo.
Why It's Important: Intel posted second-quarter revenue of $12.86 billion, surpassing the $11.91 billion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/intc/earnings">expected</a> by analysts. However, the company recorded an adjusted loss of 10 cents per share for the quarter, falling short of projections that had forecast a modest profit of one cent per share.
The company has been struggling to keep pace with the rapid evolution of computing.

As of Thursday's market close, Intel's market capitalization stood at $98.71 billion—starkly overshadowed by Nvidia's $4.24 trillion valuation.

Intel, Deckers Outdoor, Unitedhealth, Dow, And American Airlines: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Larry Ellison, the billionaire co-founder of Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>), has pulled off one of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46435552/larry-ellison-surges-past-mark-zuckerberg-to-become-worlds-second-richest-person-as-oracles-ai-deals-with-openai-us-government-drive-massive-stock-surge">most remarkable wealth surges</a> in 2025—adding nearly $100 billion to his net worth in just seven months, despite a past that included struggling to pay his utility bills.
What Happened: Ellison's journey wasn't always lined with billion-dollar valuations. In a 2024 conversation <a href="https://disprz.ai/blog/meeting-larry-ellison-oracle-founder">with</a> Disprz, he recalled times in the 1970s when he couldn't afford his electric and gas bills.
His biggest concern at the time wasn't losing heat or entertainment—but losing access to the garage computer where he was building his early software innovations. "Without electricity, my computer wouldn't work," he said.

"I couldn't even get [investors] to say no because nobody even met me," Ellison said, describing how he used to wait outside venture capital offices.
But, how the tables have turned.
Today, the Oracle co-founder is worth $289 billion, making him the second-richest person in the world, trailing only Elon Musk, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/">according</a> to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
His net worth has jumped by $96.8 billion year-to-date, outpacing Jeff Bezos ($9.95 billion gain), Mark Zuckerberg ($40.5 billion gain) and Jensen Huang ($31.2 billion gain).

Why It's Important: Ellison's fortune—over 80% of which is linked to Oracle stock and options—has surged as Oracle shares jumped 27.69% over the past six months.
The tech giant Ellison co-founded in 1977 has seen its stock soar 43.41% year-to-date and 66.38% over the past year, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
Earlier this month, the U.S. government signaled it would <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46409079/nvidia-growth-estimates-get-10-boost-as-us-lifts-china-chip-export-curbs-gene-munster-predicts-30-35-growth-for-2026">ease export restrictions</a>, allowing Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices to resume some semiconductor sales to China. Oracle, which depends on advanced chips for its cloud and AI infrastructure, was a key beneficiary of this policy shift.
Oracle has also signed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44188361/nvidia-powers-openai-and-oracles-100-billion-stargate-first-ai-data-center-set-to-launch-in-texas">multibillion-dollar cloud agreements</a> and expanded partnerships with companies like OpenAI and SoftBank Group as part of its Stargate initiative.
Benzinga&#8217;s Edge Stock Rankings indicate that Oracle is showing strong upward momentum across short, medium and long-term periods. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound'">More detailed performance insights can be found here</a>.

Larry Ellison Couldn't Afford His Electric Bill Once Upon A Time — In 2025 He's Added Nearly $100 Billion To His Net Worth, Surpassing The Likes Of Jeff Bezos And Mark Zuckerberg

President Donald Trump and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell had a public disagreement over the escalating price tag for renovation work at the Federal Reserve's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/07/46594753/trump-to-visit-federal-reserve-in-first-presidential-trip-in-20-years-raising-stakes-for-jerome-powell">headquarters on Thursday.&nbsp;</a>
The rare visit to the Fed occurred as Trump increased his public pressure on Powell to decrease interest rates, while also backing away from his earlier talk of dismissing Powell before his term ends next May.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Renovation Dispute</h2>
During their joint appearance, Trump questioned the costs of ongoing renovations for two historic Fed buildings in Washington, D.C., claiming expenses had exceeded $3.1 billion, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/24/trump-powell-fed-visit.html">according</a> to CNBC.&nbsp;
Powell countered, noting Trump had factored in costs from a third government building that was constructed five years prior.&nbsp;
Both men toured the site together while wearing hard hats and told the press they would review the situation further.&nbsp;
Trump remarked, "It's got a long way," before completion.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Political Context</h2>
Trump had considered firing Powell, which would have been a controversial and legally uncertain move, but stated on Thursday, &#8220;To do that is a big move, and I just don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s necessary.&#8221;
Powell has been a frequent target of criticism from Trump and his allies, including Bill Pulte, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, who was present for the visit and has called for Powell's resignation.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Interest Rate Pressure</h2>
Trump's main criticism continues to center on Powell's refusal to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/07/46569623/federal-reserve-rates-justified-despite-being-highest-among-g-10-peers-says-lpl-economist-as-trump-pressures-jerome-powell-to-exit"> lower interest rates</a> further. Despite Trump nominating Powell in 2017, he has accused the Fed chair of incompetence and political bias.&nbsp;
Trump claims that lower rates would save the country hundreds of billions in interest payments. While the Fed did cut its primary interest rate by a full percentage point in late 2024, taking it to a 4.25%-4.5% range, it has left rates unchanged since December.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trump's Remarks After the Visit</h2>
Trump adopted a more conciliatory tone later, describing his tour with Powell as a "Great Honor" and acknowledging that the renovation "has a long way to go."&nbsp;
 "It would have been much better if it were never started, but it is what it is and, hopefully, it will be finished ASAP,&#8221; he conceded. 
Trump did, however, underscore the high costs, but said the U.S. is strong enough financially to handle them.
Benzinga reached out to the White House for comment but had not heard back.

Trump, Powell Clash Over $3 Billion Federal Reserve Renovations In Front Of Reporters

In a scathing rebuke that&#8217;s sending shockwaves through financial markets, 27 prominent economists have filed an <a href="https://www.aei.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/V.O.S.-Selections-Inc.-v.-Trump-Federal-Circuit-Amicus-Brief-by-Economists.pdf?x85095">amicus brief</a> dismantling the economic foundation of President Donald Trump&#8217;s emergency tariff powers. Their message couldn&#8217;t be clearer: the administration&#8217;s justification for sweeping trade duties is built on economic quicksand.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Economists&#8217; Nuclear Option</h2>
The economists&#8217; filing in the ongoing federal court challenge systematically demolishes three core pillars of the Trump administration&#8217;s tariff strategy. First, they argue that trade deficits are neither &#8220;unusual nor extraordinary&#8221; nor constitute a genuine &#8220;threat&#8221; to U.S. national security. Second, they contend that tariffs won&#8217;t meaningfully reduce these deficits anyway. Third, and perhaps most damaging for investors, they warn that tariffs will trigger &#8220;massive budgetary, allocative, and distributive effects&#8221; across the economy.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why This Matters for Your Portfolio</h2>
The S&amp;P 500 experienced notable declines earlier this year as markets reacted to tariff announcements and uncertainty over trade policy direction. This volatility reflects deeper concerns about rising costs, disrupted supply chains, and policy unpredictability that economists are now validating with hard data.
The economists&#8217; brief highlights what many investors suspected: tariffs function as a broad-based tax on American consumers and businesses. Even if current court challenges succeed, remaining tariffs would still cost the average household $950 of purchasing power in 2025, according to Yale Budget Lab analysis. That&#8217;s a 0.6% increase in consumer prices—a hidden tax that hits retail spending and corporate margins.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Trade Deficit Reality Check</h2>
Perhaps the most significant economic argument centers on trade deficits themselves. The economists argue that the U.S. has run trade deficits &#8220;consistently over the past fifty years&#8221; and &#8220;in most countries in most years in recent decades.&#8221; This historical context undermines the administration&#8217;s claim that current deficits represent an unprecedented emergency requiring dramatic intervention.

For investors, this matters because it suggests tariff policies are addressing a non-problem with tools that create real economic distortions. The tariffs imposed on Canada, China, and Mexico in March alone were projected to add $4 billion in costs to Washington state imports from those countries. Scale that nationwide, and you&#8217;re looking at massive input cost increases across multiple sectors.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Court Battles and Market Implications</h2>
The U.S. Court of International Trade has already ruled that Trump lacks authority under economic emergency legislation to impose sweeping global tariffs, though appeals courts have temporarily stayed that decision. The Supreme Court could end up ruling if Trump has authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose universal duties on imports.
This legal uncertainty creates a challenging environment for investors. Companies face the prospect of sudden cost increases or relief depending on court decisions, making long-term planning nearly impossible. According to Reuters, Goldman Sachs&#8217; (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) chief U.S. political economist Alec Phillips <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-court-blocks-trumps-liberation-day-tariffs-2025-05-28/">noted</a>, &#8220;This ruling represents a setback for the administration&#8217;s tariff plans and increases uncertainty but might not change the final outcome for most major U.S. trading partners&#8221;.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Bottom Line for Investors</h2>
The economists&#8217; intervention signals that Trump&#8217;s tariff strategy faces not just legal challenges but fundamental economic critique from the profession&#8217;s leading voices. Their argument that tariffs create &#8220;massive&#8221; economic effects without meaningfully reducing trade deficits suggests investors should prepare for continued policy volatility and potential cost pressures across import-dependent sectors.
Smart money is already positioning for multiple scenarios—from complete tariff rollbacks to expanded trade wars. The economists&#8217; brief provides intellectual ammunition for continued court challenges, but the ultimate resolution likely won&#8217;t come until the Supreme Court weighs in. Until then, expect continued market volatility as investors navigate this unprecedented intersection of emergency powers, trade policy, and economic reality.

This marked the latest time that Greene has bought Palantir stock in 2025 and came days before the company hit new 52-week highs.
In total, Greene has bought Palantir stock four times in 2025 with the following transactions:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>February 12: $1,000 to $15,000, disclosed on February 14</li>
<li>April 8: $1,000 to $15,000, disclosed on April 11</li>
<li>April 9: $1,000 to $15,000, disclosed on April 11</li>
<li>July 15: $1,000 to $15,000, disclosed on July 22</li>
</ul>
Greene's past disclosure of buying Palantir stock raised red flags given her committee assignments within Congress.
Several of the trades made by Greene in the past could raise red flags as conflicts of interest given her congressional committee assignments. Greene is a member of the following committees:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>House Committee on Oversight and Accountability: Chairwoman, Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.)</li>
<li>House Committee on Homeland Security: Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence, Subcommittee on Oversight, Investigations, and Accountability</li>
</ul>
Palantir Technologies is a company that regularly lands government contracts. As a member of the House Committee on Homeland Security, Greene could have an inside track on upcoming contracts with Palantir.
In fact, several days after Greene disclosed buying Palantir stock in April, the company announced a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44882049/peter-thiels-palantir-bags-30-million-order-from-ice-for-immigrant-tracking-system" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;new $30 million&nbsp;</a>government contract to enhance immigration enforcement tools.

</ul>
Why It's Important: In 2024, Greene ranked 23rd among members of Congress who made stock transactions based on a return of +30.2%, outperforming the broader stock market.
While Greene is far from the only member of Congress buying Palantir stock, her committee assignments might make her purchases that much more newsworthy than those of other elected members.
Greene's trades earlier this year <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/44852406/marjorie-taylor-greene-brushes-off-stock-buying-criticism-says-portfolio-manager-bought-the-dip">were also flagged</a> due to the timing of buying shares of several stocks as the market declined on news of President Donald Trump's reciprocal tariffs. The stocks soared after Trump announced a pause to tariffs, with Greene showing a quick profit on her recent trades at the time.
Greene took pride in her transactions, despite other members of Congress calling for an investigation into whether Trump and his allies participated in insider trading.
&#8220;I think that criticism is laughable. President Trump has been talking about tariffs for decades,&#8221; Greene told reporters when asked about the trades at a recent town hall event in Georgia, in a clip <a href="https://x.com/unusual_whales/status/1912456434081480777" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">shared </a>by Unusual Whales. The congresswoman used the opportunity to boast about her stock performance, which ranked her as one of the top trading members of Congress in 2024.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t place my buys and sells," Greene said, citing an agreement she has with her portfolio manager, who handles all the buying and selling of stocks. &#8220;He did a great job. Guess what he did. He bought the dip. And that&#8217;s what anybody that has financial sense does."
Greene also said her portfolio manager did not have inside information, everything was public and a potential tariff pause wasn&#8217;t a secret.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning SLM Stock In The Last 10 Years

Whoever said golf is a relaxing sport clearly never saw the initiation fees.
In a world where the phrase "exclusive club" doesn't just mean a tight handicap but a bank account that can survive a seven-figure swing, America's priciest golf clubs operate in a league of their own. These aren't just places to play 18 holes—they're private kingdoms where the greens are pristine, the member list <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44891213/joe-rogan-paints-a-picture-of-trump-in-between-golf-swings-hes-on-the-phone-with-other-presidents-were-going-to-need-more-money">includes billionaires and celebrities</a>, and you may need a yacht or private jet to show up in style.
Think your local muni is expensive at $80 a round? Some of these clubs make that look like loose change under the couch.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">1. Sebonack Golf Club — Southampton, New York</h2>
Initiation Fee: $650,000 to over $1 million&nbsp;
Estimated Annual Dues: Not publicly disclosed

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2. The Madison Club — La Quinta, California&nbsp;</h2>
Initiation Fee: $500,000
Estimated Annual Dues: Around $70,000
<a href="https://madisonclubca.com/">The Madison Club</a> is where A-listers, CEOs, and sports legends unwind between deals and rounds.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. Liberty National Golf Club — Jersey City, New Jersey</h2>
Initiation Fee: $450,000–$500,000
Estimated Annual Dues: Around $29,000
You want Manhattan skyline views while draining a birdie putt? Liberty National delivers—plus a private marina if you prefer to arrive by boat. It's <a href="https://www.golfdigest.com/story/presidents-cup-2017-9-interesting-facts-you-should-know-about-the-construction-of-liberty-national">one of the most expensive golf clubs ever built</a>, with a reported $250 million price tag. The vibe? Wall Street meets Augusta, with modern luxury and top-shelf everything.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">4. Augusta National Golf Club — Augusta, Georgia</h2>
Initiation Fee: Rumored $250,000–$500,000
Estimated Annual Dues: Estimated $10,000–$30,000
Good luck getting in. Home of The Masters, Augusta <a href="https://www.golfmonthly.com/news/is-augusta-national-the-most-exclusive-golf-club-in-the-world">doesn't accept applications</a>—you get invited. Rumors about fees vary, but most agree that even if you could afford it, you're still not getting past Magnolia Lane unless they come to you. This is the crown jewel of American golf, steeped in tradition and tighter than Fort Knox when it comes to membership info.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">5. The Vintage Club — Indian Wells, California</h2>
Initiation Fee: Around $300,000
Estimated Annual Dues: $45,000
Known as the "billionaire's playground," The Vintage Club <a href="https://themunsellegroup.com/neighborhoods/the-vintage-club">is ultra-private</a>, ultra-posh, and surprisingly under the radar. Two top-ranked courses, an international roster of power players, and desert views that go on forever. If you've never heard of it, that's kind of the point.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">So…Worth It?</h2>
These clubs aren't just about the game—they're about access. Access to movers, shakers, private equity partners, and maybe the next person who'll invest $20 million in your startup between holes 9 and 10.
Whether that kind of membership makes sense comes down to your priorities—and your bank account. For some, it's about networking and prestige. For others, it's just an insane number to pay for golf, no matter how good the course is.
Either way, it's safe to say most players are perfectly content with a solid muni, a reliable foursome, and maybe a breakfast sandwich at the turn. You don't need a seven-figure initiation fee to enjoy the game—but if you've got it, you've got options.

A new movie about OpenAI has cast the role of Elon Musk. While Musk could probably care less if you watch that movie that might not portray him in the best light, a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/11/35727504/elon-musk-biopic-is-coming-heres-who-will-be-tackling-the-worlds-richest-man-for-the-big-sc"> biopic based on Musk's life </a>is set to hit the big screen in the future and will be based off an approved biography on the world's richest man.
What Happened: Actor Ike Barinholtz is in talks to portray Musk in a movie about OpenAI titled "Artificial." The movie will also star Andrew Garfield as Sam Altman, as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/entertainment/25/06/45782841/sam-altmans-2023-openai-ouster-becoming-a-movie-could-former-spider-man-play-him">Benzinga previously reported.</a>
While the film will center on Altman's ouster and rehire by the board, it is also likely to explore Musk's early days with the company and his ultimate exit back in 2018 over disagreements about a for-profit structure of the company.
Past reports have said the film<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/entertainment/25/07/46601114/elon-musk-sam-altman-rivalry-to-come-alive-in-amazon-mgms-upcoming-film-artificial-with-ike-barinholtz-likely-to-play-musk-report"> may not portray </a>Musk in the best light using descriptions like "dictator" and villain.
While that movie won't center entirely on Musk, a future film from A24 will explore Musk and all things SpaceX, Tesla and X. The untitled film is set to be directed by Academy Award-nominated director Darren Aronofsky and is based on the book about Musk by Walter Isaacson.
Musk gave Isaacson tons of access to his life and companies and the author was even around the billionaire during the time period of the $44 billion acquisition of social media platform Twitter, which was renamed X.

<li>Stay in the know with our Insider Trades page — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/sec/insider-trades/">see when leaders like Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, and Jensen Huang are offloading their own shares.</a></li>
</ul>
Who Could Play Elon Musk?: The Aronofsky movie does not have a release date yet and has not currently cast the lead role of Musk.
With the news that Barinholtz is in talks to portray Musk on film, Benzinga asked Grok, the chatbot from Musk's X to look at potential options to portray the billionaire in the biopic.
"For the yet-to-be-released Elon Musk biopic based on the Walter Isaacson biography, who do you think should be cast as Elon Musk for the movie?" Benzinga asked Grok.
Grok said casting the right actor for Musk is "crucial" for the film and will need to make sure to portray his "complex personality, visionary drive and polarizing public presence."
"Here are a few actors who could compellingly portray Elon Musk, considering his intensity, eccentricity and multifaceted persona," Grok said.
The actors named were as follows, with portions of the reasoning Grok gave:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Christian Bale: His physical versatility and knack for embodying complex, high-energy personalities make him a strong fit to portray Musk's relentless ambition and enigmatic nature.</li>
<li>Rami Malek: Malek's ability to convey intensity and intellectual depth, as seen in &#8220;Bohemian Rhapsody&#8221; and &#8220;Mr. Robot,&#8221; could capture Musk's quirky charisma and visionary mindset. His expressive eyes and subtle mannerisms could reflect Musk's unpredictable public persona.</li>
<li>Cillian Murphy: Murphy's piercing intensity and ability to play cerebral, enigmatic characters (&#8220;Peaky Blinders,&#8221; &#8220;Oppenheimer&#8221;) align well with Musk's introspective yet commanding presence. He could effectively portray Musk's blend of genius and volatility.</li>
<li>Adam Driver: Driver's range and ability to portray driven, larger-than-life figures (&#8220;Marriage Story,&#8221; &#8220;Star Wars&#8221;) make him a compelling choice. His physicality and emotional depth could bring out Musk's relentless work ethic and personal struggles.</li>
</ul>
"Each of these actors could bring a unique angle to Musk's character, emphasizing different facets of his life — whether it's his entrepreneurial zeal, personal controversies, or futuristic vision."
Grok ultimately picked Bale as the standout actor to play Musk given his "ability to fully immense himself in complex roles."
Benzinga also asked Grok to list potential actors based on Musk's appearance and physicality. For this question, Grok named Bale, Malek and Murphy once again and replaced Driver with Edward Norton.
Grok said that Norton has "a lean build, angular face, and intense eyes" that could resemble Musk. Ultimately, Grok picked Murphy for the closest "natural resemblance" to Musk with Bale coming in a "close second."
Interestingly enough, Norton <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/22/12/30206148/elon-musk-now-the-subject-of-a-fictional-movie-character-a-weird-relevance-in-exactly-the-c">played technology billionaire</a> Miles Bron in Netflix movie "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery." Movie director Rian Johnson previously said that the movie character, who was interested in space exploration and automotives in the film, may have been inspired by Musk.
Malek previously won an Academy Award for portraying Queen frontman Freddie Mercury in the "Bohemian Rhapsody" biopic.
From Iron Man to Elon Musk?: Actor Robert Downey Jr. played Iron Man/Tony Stark across many Marvel Cinematic Universe films.
Downey's portrayal of Stark in the films was said to be inspired by Musk and the billionaire<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/education/25/06/46157568/happy-birthday-elon-musk-54-facts-and-figures-about-tesla-spacex-ceo-on-his-54th-birthday"> even earned a cameo</a> in "Iron Man 2."
Benzinga asked Grok if Downey Jr. could be up for playing Musk on film.
"Yes, Robert Downey Jr. could convincingly transition from playing Tony Stark to portraying Elon Musk in a film," Grok said.
Grok said Downey Jr. has experience with similar roles, such as Iron Man, a physical resemblance to Musk, similar charisma and the actor's ability to take on "complex, real-life figures" like Charlie Chaplin.
The challenge for Downey as Musk, according to Grok, would be difficulty for the audience to differentiate Downey playing Stark and Downey playing Musk and an age difference.
Why It's Important: Playing Musk on film could be the opportunity of a lifetime for an actor. As the world's richest man and most followed person on X, Musk has a wide platform and is influential on getting his fans to do certain things.
Support for the movie and the actor cast as himself, Musk could help boost the box office of the film.
After giving access to Isaacson, the film is likely to be less controversial than others exploring Musk and is likely to receive the billionaire's support.
Isaacson authored &#8220;Steve Jobs&#8221; in 2011, which was turned into a biopic. The movie starred Michael Fassbender in the title role and was released in 2015, four years after Jobs&#8217; death.
The film was nominated for Best Actor and Best Actress (Kate Winslet) Academy Awards. &#8220;Steve Jobs&#8221;&nbsp;<a href="https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt2080374/?ref_=bo_se_r_1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">grossed&nbsp;</a>$17.8 million domestically and $34.4 million worldwide.
