From calling the company the "Tesla Graveyard" to criticizing its AI plans and reflecting on his unpleasant encounter with Steve Jobs, Musk's comments make it clear that the rivalry between these tech giants is personal, professional and competitive.
Back in 2015, during an interview with the German newspaper Handelsblatt, Musk mocked Apple's hiring practices. Referring to its recruitment of former Tesla employees, he said:
"They have hired people we've fired. We always jokingly call Apple the ‘Tesla Graveyard.' If you don't make it at Tesla, you <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/02/36953481/elon-musk-almost-sold-tesla-to-google-for-11-billion-but-he-called-the-deal-off-when-he-no-longer-ne">work at Apple</a>. I'm not kidding."

</ul>
This came from reports that Apple was working on its electric vehicle project, "Titan." Musk didn't stop at staffing digs; he also questioned Apple's ability to break into the auto industry, saying, "Did you ever take a look at the Apple Watch? No, It's good that Apple is moving and investing in this direction. But cars are very complex compared to phones or smartwatches. You can't just go to a supplier like Foxconn and say: Build me a car."
At the time, Apple declined to comment.
Musk's critiques haven't just been aimed at Apple's business strategies. In an interview with GQ that same year, he recalled meeting Steve Jobs at a party before Jobs' death in 2011. The encounter wasn't what Musk had hoped for. "[The] one time I met Steve Jobs, he was kind of a jerk," Musk said.&nbsp;

He later tried to soften his remark, explaining that his observation was based on a "personal experience." He added that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42154628/larry-page-google-co-founder-said-hed-leave-his-fortune-to-elon-musk-over-charity-because-of-his-plans-to-go-to-mars-to-back-up-humanity">Larry Page</a>, cofounder of Google, had introduced him to Jobs several years earlier and Jobs may not have even known who he was then.
Fast-forward to today and Musk's criticisms of Apple have shifted to its push into artificial intelligence. After Apple announced updates to Siri that included integration with OpenAI's ChatGPT, Musk voiced concerns about user privacy and security. Writing on his platform, X, he called the collaboration "an unacceptable security violation" and accused Apple of having "no clue what's actually going on."
"It's patently absurd that Apple isn't smart enough to make their own AI, yet is somehow capable of ensuring that OpenAI will protect your security &amp; privacy!" Musk wrote. He even suggested banning Apple devices if the company integrates OpenAI at the operating system level.

Apple, for its part, told CNBC that the integration with OpenAI is optional and assured users that data shared with ChatGPT would not be logged without explicit permission. The company also noted that it's working on its own AI.
These exchanges highlight the unique blend of competition and critique that defines Musk's approach to rivals like Apple. He's quick to throw jabs, but his comments also point to bigger debates – about privacy, talent wars and whether some companies are overextending themselves into areas where others already dominate.
Despite the drama, Tesla and Apple continue to thrive. Musk's words remind us that the tech world is as much about personality clashes as it is about innovation.

Elon Musk 'Jokingly' Refers To Apple As The 'Tesla Graveyard' And Says Steve Jobs Was 'Kind Of A Jerk' To Him When They Met At A Party

In a surprising development over the past weekend, one of the world&#8217;s largest cryptocurrency exchanges experienced an unusual surge in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42154900/crypto-expert-who-called-2022-market-crash-warns-about-bitcoin">activity</a>.
What Happened: Whale Alert, a service that tracks crypto transactions, recorded a series of large transfers, indicating over a billion dollars&#8217; worth of Bitcoin moving between wallets. 
A notable transaction involved 500 BTC, equivalent to $50 million, being transferred from Binance to an unidentified wallet, followed by an almost identical&nbsp;return transaction of 499 BTC&nbsp;worth $50.9 million back to Binance.
Several other large-scale transfers were observed,&nbsp;with millions more in Bitcoin&nbsp;value being exchanged. Some&nbsp;transactions involved thousands of BTC&nbsp;being exchanged between anonymous wallets.&nbsp;

High-volume movements like these&nbsp;often accompany shifts in market&nbsp;sentiment or strategic decisions by&nbsp;institutional players.
Why It Matters: The scale and anonymity of these transactions, particularly on a Sunday, a typically quieter day for trading, suggest strategic planning&nbsp;as the market prepares for&nbsp;the week ahead. 
This unusual activity could indicate a potential shift in market dynamics or a strategic move by large-scale investors. 
The anonymity of the transactions further adds to the intrigue, raising questions about the identities of the players involved and their potential impact on the market.

Massive Crypto Exchange Witnesses Unusual $100 Million Bitcoin Activity

High home prices and stubbornly steep mortgage interest rates have put homeownership out of reach for many Americans. Wall Street has seized upon this, funding large swathes of luxury single-family suburban homes with everything an owner could want except a large down payment, mortgage and a deed in their name.&nbsp;
For generations, the norm in American towns and cities was that the best suburban communities, with the best schools, where affluent homeowners dominated, did not have many – if any – rental properties. That is now changing as millennials with decent jobs have found themselves priced out of homeownership in the neighborhoods where they want to live. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/reit/24/11/42236108/high-yield-reits-to-watch-three-wall-street-approved-sp-500-gems">Real estate investment trusts</a> such as AvalonBay Communities have taken up the slack, building large master-planned rental communities that replicate towny suburban neighborhoods.&nbsp;

</ul>
According to the Wall Street Journal, AvalonBay purchased 126 build-to-rent townhomes in Bee Cave, Texas, for $49 million. The firm plans to invest over $1 billion in the build-to-rent sector.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Renter Nation Beckons</h2>
"We think we're really in the early stages of what could be a pretty significant, almost new asset class," AvalonBay Chief Investment Officer Matt Birenbaum told the Wall Street Journal.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Renter Pool Outpaces Home Ownership</h2>
For the first time in over twenty years, the growth of the U.S. renter pool has outpaced that of homeowner households for the past four quarters, according to a Redfin analysis of U.S. census data. Additionally, the National Association of Realtors' analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data shows that from 2021 to 2023, the share of build-to-rent housing starts doubled to 10% of overall single-family housing. In the third quarter of 2024, new renter households increased at three times the rate of homeowner households.
According to a CBRE report from earlier in the year, the average monthly mortgage payment for a new home is 38% more expensive than apartment rent. Although homeowners have the added advantage of building equity while they live in a home, much of the initial mortgage payment period goes toward interest. With an<a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/americans-say-its-harder-to-find-a-job-so-why-arent-economists-worried-yet-130033148.html"> </a>unstable job market, many Americans feel insecure about getting hitched to a long-term financial commitment.

There is space to create suburban neighborhoods with backyards, balconies, patios, a communal pool and a gym. An on-site maintenance team makes for a resort-like living experience. Security and cameras make tenants feel secure about leaving for trips. However, mass rental communities do come with a downside. In August, the DOJ sued rental management software company RealPage for its algorithmic pricing, which the government alleged monopolized the market and decreased competition, forcing prices up. However, the case has now<a href="https://therealdeal.com/texas/dallas/2024/12/04/realpage-asks-court-to-dismiss-antitrust-lawsuit/"> </a>been dropped as President-elect Trump is expected to de-emphasize antitrust enforcement.
With interest rates showing no marked decrease, investors and developers behind the build-to-rent communities feel they have an open floor with little competition.
"We are not competing with individuals trying to buy individual homes in the private market," Matt Birenbaum said.

Wall Street Pours Billions Into Build-To-Rent Communities, Betting Big Against Home Ownership Amid High Prices and Interest Rates

The price of&nbsp;Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>), the second-largest&nbsp;meme coin, is predicted to see a significant uptick, says renowned cryptocurrency analyst Zach Humphries.
What Happened:&nbsp;Humphries foresees&nbsp;a five- to six-fold price&nbsp;surge for SHIB, given the current market dynamics. The analyst, a highly regarded figure in the Shiba Inu community, underscored the increasing momentum of SHIB and its potential to ride on the coattails of Ethereum&#8217;s growth.
In a video <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uNgVGxZmmc">post</a> on YouTube, Humphries delved into SHIB&#8217;s technical, emphasizing the potential to breach the $0.00002960 resistance level. He proposed that this could trigger a bullish rally, possibly leading to a sixfold gain if Ethereum hits the $7,000–$8,000 range.
"Shib and Pepe are primed and ready to go. I think it's coming. Ethereum is starting to show signs, it's quiet right now, but it won't be quiet for very long," he said. 
On-chain data from IntoTheBlock reveals a steep 82% increase&nbsp;in SHIB's Large Holders Netflow&nbsp;within the past day, with&nbsp;2.4 trillion SHIB worth approximately $72 million moving&nbsp;into whale wallets. This surge&nbsp;often signals reduced selling pressure, setting the stage for upward momentum.

Humphries further said, "If SHIB breaks that $0.2960 level, look out… we could start to make another push back into the mid-threes,"&nbsp;he stated, adding&nbsp;"I think as long as eth gets to seven to $8,000, we're probably getting a you know 10x out of PEPE and probably a five to six out of SHIB minimum."
At the time of writing,&nbsp;SHIB was trading at $0.00002729,&nbsp;reflecting close to 3% drop in&nbsp;the past 24 hours.
Why It Matters: The predicted surge in SHIB&#8217;s price comes at a time when the cryptocurrency market is experiencing significant volatility. The potential for a five- to six-fold increase in SHIB&#8217;s value could attract new investors and further establish SHIB as a major player in the meme coin market. 
The anticipated growth of Ethereum, which SHIB is expected to benefit from, could also contribute to a bullish rally for the meme coin. 
The increase&nbsp;in SHIB's Large Holders Netflow&nbsp;is another positive sign, indicating a decrease in selling pressure and a potential for price growth.

Crypto Analyst: Shiba Inu Price Set For Massive Surge, Could Go Up Sixfold

Recent surveys from Nationwide and Fidelity Investments reveal the financial regrets and resolutions that Americans are taking <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/12/42430772/janet-yellen-warns-trump-tariffs-could-undermine-confidence-in-financial-markets-and-raise-american-household-costs">with them into 2025.</a>
The data points to significant gaps in financial planning that should reshape how financial advisors approach client relationships in 2025, <a href="https://www.investmentnews.com/retirement-planning/what-financial-regrets-and-resolutions-are-americans-carrying-into-2025/258601">InvestmentNews</a> recently reported.
The most pressing concern emerges from Nationwide&#8217;s Protected Retirement Survey, where an overwhelming 82% of Americans over 45 regret that they hadn&#8217;t planned for retirement seriously earlier in their life. This statistic should serve as a wake-up call for advisors to engage clients earlier and more comprehensively, and to help existing clients look into ways to &#8220;catch up.&#8221; 
Rather than waiting for clients to seek guidance, advisors need to take the initiative in reaching out to younger professionals, helping them understand compound interest, and developing robust income protection strategies before retirement concerns become urgent.
The Fidelity Annual Resolutions Study highlights another crucial area demanding advisor attention: emergency preparedness. With 72% of Americans reporting financial setbacks in 2024 and 46% needing to tap into emergency funds, advisors must shift from focusing solely on long-term goals to helping clients build resilient financial foundations. This means developing comprehensive emergency funding strategies alongside traditional retirement planning.
Advisors should note the changing client mindset toward conservative financial goals, with one-third of resolution-makers preferring more modest targets for 2025. This trend, coupled with 38% of respondents citing unexpected expenses as their primary concern, suggests advisors need to adjust their approach. 
Instead of pursuing aggressive growth strategies, many clients may benefit more from balanced plans that emphasize stability and risk management.
The silver lining is that 68% of Americans feel financially stable or stronger than last year, with 65% expressing optimism about 2025. Advisors can build on this positive sentiment by helping clients transform their financial regrets into actionable plans. 
This means moving beyond traditional portfolio management to provide comprehensive financial guidance that addresses both immediate concerns and long-term goals, while ensuring clients have adequate protection against unexpected setbacks.

Americans Regret Retirement Prep As Advisors Rethink 2025 Strategies

When Elon Musk took to X to <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1864683112057213028">question</a> why Americans aren't &#8220;getting their money's worth&#8221; despite the United States leading the world in health care administrative costs, Mark Cuban stepped in with some tough truths. Cuban, known for his straight talk and deep dive into health care reform, gave Musk and other CEOs a crash course on how their decisions directly impact health care costs and quality in the U.S.
"The key is the contracts CEOs of self-insured companies sign," Cuban wrote in response to Musk's tweet. He explained that many of these contracts, especially with Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs), are at the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40560002/governments-suing-pharmacy-benefit-managers-over-insulin-prices-have-long-benefited-from-their-r">root of spiraling costs and poor care</a>.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's Wrong With PBM Contracts?</h2>
Cuban laid out seven major issues with typical PBM agreements that affect not only companies like Musk's Tesla and SpaceX but also their employees and families:
<ol>
<li>No control over claims data: Companies don't get full access to the data about what's being billed or paid.</li>
<li>Restricted formularies: PBMs control which medications are covered, often prioritizing profits over health.</li>
<li>Overpriced &#8220;Specialty Drugs&#8221;: These are often marked up without justification.</li>
<li>Rebates come at a cost: "Rebates" paid by pharmaceutical companies ultimately increase employee deductibles and co-pays, hitting the sickest and oldest the hardest.</li>
<li>Harming independent pharmacies: PBMs often reimburse small pharmacies less than the cost of brand-name drugs, driving many out of business.</li>
<li>No manufacturer collaboration: Companies can't directly work with drug manufacturers to create targeted wellness programs.</li>
<li>Opaque contracts: Many PBM agreements include NDAs, making the system inefficient and increasing<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/39799717/patients-pay-the-price-as-drug-middlemen-profit-says-ftc-report-mark-cubans-take-anyone-surprise"> prices nationwide</a>.</li>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What CEOs Can Do</h2>
Cuban didn't just highlight problems – he offered solutions. He called on Musk and other CEOs to take control by directly contracting with health care providers and working with "pass-through" PBMs that prioritize transparency and lower costs. Cuban also suggested that educating CEOs on these practices should be a priority for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42335531/jeff-bezos-counters-elon-musk-led-doge-cost-cutting-plan-says-america-needs-growth-orientation-heres-what-the-amazon-founder-said-to-tackle-national-debt">Musk's future agency</a>, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
"It starts and ends with educating CEOs like yourself, of self-insured companies, to do what is in the best interest of their employees and families," Cuban wrote.

He also warned about the legal risks for companies that ignore these issues, citing them as a sign of what's to come. There &#8220;will be ubiquitous class action lawsuits coming for all CEOs next," he warned.
Cuban clarified that while he might not "know cars or rockets," he knows how to fix health care. His message to Musk – and other CEOs – was straightforward: the power to change the system is in their hands. By prioritizing transparency and better contracts, they can make a massive impact on the cost and quality of health care for millions of Americans.

Mark Cuban Says, 'I Don't Know Cars Or Rockets,' But Schools Elon Musk On How American Health Insurance Works

Zillow has named five key trends that are gaining traction among homebuyers for 2025.
What Happened: Zillow&#8217;s analysis of millions of for-sale listings in 2024 indicates that buyers are increasingly favoring homes that are eco-friendly, resilient to climate disasters, and equipped with smart home technology.
According to a report <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/home-trends-buyers-obsessed-with-in-2025-from-zillow-listings-2024-12">by</a> Business Insider, there is also a growing interest in smart, eco-friendly technology. Whole-home batteries, often paired with solar panels, are the fastest-growing sought-after feature this year, with mentions in for-sale listings up by 62% compared to last year. Electric vehicle (EV) chargers and induction cooktops are also gaining popularity.
&#8220;Technology&nbsp;has empowered homeowners to live&nbsp;more sustainably and affordably, which&nbsp;is increasingly important to prospective&nbsp;buyers,&#8221; stated&nbsp;Amanda Pendleton, Zillow&#8217;s home trends&nbsp;expert told the outlet.
As home prices continue to soar, many buyers are leaning toward smaller, more affordable homes.

The term &#8220;cozy&#8221; has seen a 35% increase in for-sale listings compared to last year. &#8220;Wellness design&#8221; is another emerging trend, with a 16% increase in listings featuring wellness-focused amenities.
Young homebuyers are showing a growing interest in vintage interior designs, with a surge in nostalgia-driven design and home libraries.&nbsp;
Zillow found that mentions of&nbsp;Victorian-era sculleries&nbsp;in for-sale listings have increased&nbsp;by 8%&nbsp;this year compared to last.
Why It Matters: The trends identified by Zillow reflect a shift in homebuyer preferences, driven by factors such as climate change, technological advancements, and changing lifestyle needs. 
The increased demand for eco-friendly and disaster-resilient homes indicates a growing awareness and concern for the environment. The rising interest in smart home technology and wellness design underscores the importance of comfort, convenience, and health in today&#8217;s living spaces. 
Furthermore, the preference for smaller homes and vintage designs suggests a shift towards affordability and nostalgia. These trends are likely to shape the future of the housing market, influencing both home design and real estate strategies.

Zillow's Top Trends for Homes In 2025

Love or loathe him, Trump&#8217;s political comeback has affected everything around him. The awnings on his condo towers and the hi-top sneakers bearing his name aren&#8217;t the only things shimmering in a Trumpian golden hue. The real estate in expensive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/10/41433284/billy-joel-finally-sells-florida-mansion-after-slashing-price-by-22-million-and-waiting-6-years-for">Palm Beach</a>, surrounding his home in Mar-A-Lago, also benefits from The Donald&#8217;s return to the White House.&nbsp;

The New York Post reported that homes in the area are going into contract for asking price faster than Trump could declare victory on election night. An 8,900-square-foot West Palm Beach waterfront penthouse at Forté on Flagler just sold for its full $33.5 million ask, despite being sold as a &#8220;gray box&#8221; – unfinished to be customized by the new owners. Sales of homes over $10 million in the area have soared in November. According to Douglas Elliman, 11 homes have sold in the last month, totaling $299.8 million – a dramatic 176% increase over last year. It&#8217;s the same in the $5 million and up range too, where three sales totaling $33.3 million contrasted sharply with one sale for $11.3 million in November 2023.&nbsp;
&#8220;We are seeing renewed attention in Palm Beach, which is undoubtedly tied to Donald Trump, whose election victory has brought even more energy to the market, along with greater certainty around long-term capital gains and a sense of stability,&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/09/41029424/douglas-ellimans-top-agent-with-3b-record-sales-speaks-on-fed-cuts-effect-on-market-rate-as-people-s">Douglas Elliman</a>&#8216;s John Reynolds, director of sales at Forté on Flagler, told the Post.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bob Vila&#8217;s Flip and Multimillion-Dollar Palm Beach Portfolio</h2>
Multimillion-dollar Palm Beach estates are often razed in favor of brand-new constructions. That was speculation about Trump pal and Fox News host Sean Hannity&#8217;s recent<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/12/42415090/fox-tvs-sean-hannity-trades-new-york-for-a-23-5-million-florida-estate-the-latest-addition-to-his-expansive-real-estate-portfolio"> $23.5 million purchase</a>. However, TV handyman Bob Vila, best known for his home improvement shows &#8220;This Old House&#8221; and &#8220;Home Again,&#8221; chose to go a different route with his 1940s-era home purchased for $12.5 million a year ago. Rather than demolish it, Vila, 78 and his wife Diana Barrett – unsurprisingly – chose to fix and flip it, selling it for $13.375 million – a profitable way to spend his retirement.
The Vilas own another home in town and a lakefront home nearby on Everglades Island, which is listed for sale at $39.9 million. The buyer of their flip was interior designer Delphine Krakoff, who is married to fashion designer Reed Krakoff, a former creative director and President of Coach Inc. and currently the creative chairman of jewelry brand John Hardy.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Private Planes Are Fueling South Florida&#8217;s Booming Luxury Market</h2>
The Palm Beach luxury market has increased since the pandemic, reflecting South Florida&#8217;s generally booming high-end market. The President-elect can&#8217;t take all the credit. Part of the reason – according to<a href="https://www.realtor.com/news/trends/florida-private-jets-luxury-listings/"> realtor.com</a> – is the increased use of private jets and South Florida&#8217;s multiple private airports. Southern Florida has five of the country&#8217;s 25 busiest private jet airports.<a href="https://www.redfin.com/city/15696/FL/Riviera-Beach/housing-market"> Riviera Beach</a> is only 20 minutes from Palm Beach International Airport and home prices there have shot up an astonishing 163% since last year. The median home price in Palm Beach County is now $1.1 million.
&#8220;Private jet access is a critically important feature of the uber-wealthy lifestyle,&#8221; Cara Ameer, licensed agent with Coldwell Banker in California and Florida, told Realtor.com. &#8220;This clientele tends to own properties in multiple locations and travels frequently, so being able to get in and out easily is key, without the hassle of public airports.&#8221;

Palm Beach Luxury Home Sales Take Off After Trump Election Win With Residents Looking Bask In Mar-A-Lago Glamor

Grant Cardone is stirring the pot again. The entrepreneur and real estate mogul <a href="https://x.com/GrantCardone/status/1866878475191324866">tweeted,</a> &#8220;U.S. inflation of 2.7% is higher than the real economy. FED is lagging and KNOWS it. Watch for a surprise .50bp cut in December.&#8221;
Cardone&#8217;s take is bold, but it's not without reason. Inflation was 2.7% as of November, slightly above the Federal Reserve&#8217;s target of 2%. Despite a series of rate hikes this year, Cardone thinks the Fed is behind the curve. And he's not alone in pointing this out.

<li>It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $70 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a></li>
<li>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
</ul>
The Fed has been trying to cool inflation for months without tanking the economy. The central bank raised rates to their highest levels in over two decades. However, Cardone suggests this approach might not be working fast enough,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40985650/grant-cardone-asks-why-powell-wont-cut-another-100-points-now-says-fed-is-scared-to-reveal-how-w"> implying a major course correction could be coming.</a>
A surprise 50 basis point rate cut would be a shocker. Most analysts expect the Fed to hold steady or make modest tweaks. A big slash like this could signal serious concern about the economy's health – or a shift in strategy to stimulate growth.
Opponents of Cardone's view argue that inflation isn't the only metric the Fed considers. The labor market remains strong with unemployment near historic lows. Wage growth is also steady. For some, these are signs that the economy is holding up fine.

Michael Feroli, chief U.S. economist at JPMorgan Chase, said recently, "Regardless of exactly what policies are introduced, a change in the party occupying the White House creates some new unknowns for the economy. This argues for a more gradual pace of interest rate cuts." J.P. Morgan Research predicts the Fed to cut rates by another 25 bp in December with cuts only once per quarter in 2025.
After all, the Fed's focus is broader than just inflation. A sudden rate cut could risk overheating the economy again.
Trending: The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"> How do you compare</a>?
Others worry about credibility. A dramatic pivot might send mixed signals to markets. The Fed has worked hard to project stability and caution in recent years, but a surprise cut could disrupt that.
Still, as usual, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/05/38739746/grant-cardone-says-high-interest-rates-dont-move-the-needle-in-housing-market-supply-and-demand-do">Cardone isn't backing down.</a> His tweet hints at a deeper issue: the Fed might be reacting too slowly. &#8220;Lagging&#8221; is a strong word, suggesting that, in Cardone's eyes, the central bank is behind the times.
Whether you agree with him or not, his prediction is one to watch. The next Fed meeting in December could bring unexpected moves. A rate cut, especially one as large as 50 basis points, would ripple through markets, hitting everything from mortgages to savings accounts.
Cardone's advice? Stay tuned. If he's right, December could shake things up.

'The Fed Is Lagging And Knows It,' Says Grant Cardone, Hinting At December Surprise Rate Slash

Artificial intelligence startup OpenAI has disclosed old emails from co-founder Elon Musk that showcae his advocacy for a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42495758/elon-musk-finds-an-unlikely-ally-in-mark-zuckerbergs-meta-in-his-fight-against-sam-altmans-openai">profit-making business model</a>.
What Happened: OpenAI made public a series of emails from Musk where he promoted the idea of the company adopting a for-profit structure.
This stands in stark contradiction to Musk&#8217;s recent public disapproval of OpenAI&#8217;s shift from a non-profit to a for-profit organization.
In a blog <a href="https://openai.com/index/elon-musk-wanted-an-openai-for-profit/">post</a>, OpenAI charged Musk with trying to suppress the startup while simultaneously developing his own AI&nbsp;competitor, xAI. 
The company also&nbsp;laid out&nbsp;a timeline of events in&nbsp;a blog&nbsp;post titled &#8220;Elon Musk wanted&nbsp;an OpenAI for profit,&#8221; asserting that Musk had indeed set up a for-profit structure back in 2017.
The emails, which date back to November 2015, show Musk expressing discontent with OpenAI&#8217;s then-non-profit structure. OpenAI alleges that both parties had agreed on transitioning to a for-profit model&nbsp;in the fall of 2017.&nbsp;
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42380950/musk-altman-rivalry-intensifies-with-trumps-appointment-of-david-sacks">Musk-Altman Rivalry Intensifies With Trump&#8217;s Appointment of David Sacks</a>
However, when Musk couldn&#8217;t secure majority equity, he reportedly withdrew his support, predicting the company&#8217;s downfall.
The blog post from OpenAI ended with a plea for competition&nbsp;in the marketplace rather than&nbsp;the courtroom, adding another layer to this ongoing legal drama.
&#8220;Now that OpenAI is the leading AI research lab and Elon runs a competing AI company, he&#8217;s asking the court to stop us from effectively pursuing our mission,&#8221; OpenAI wrote in the post.
Why It Matters: This development is significant as it adds a new dimension to the ongoing legal battle between Musk and OpenAI. The released emails not only contradict Musk&#8217;s recent public statements but also shed light on the internal dynamics and disagreements that led to the current dispute. 
The allegations of Musk trying to suppress OpenAI while developing a competing AI project also raise questions about business ethics and competition in the tech industry. 
This saga is likely to have far-reaching implications for the AI sector, especially regarding the debate on non-profit versus for-profit structures.

Musk Backed For-Profit Direction for OpenAI, Leaked Emails Say

This weekend was packed with exciting developments in the tech and automotive industries. From&nbsp;Elon Musk&nbsp;unveiling new advancements at&nbsp;SpaceX&nbsp;to&nbsp;Tesla Inc. gearing up for a new vehicle launch, there was no shortage of news. Meanwhile,&nbsp;General Motors made a strategic decision regarding its autonomous vehicle unit, and&nbsp;Lucid Motors announced impressive range estimates for its latest SUV.
Let&#8217;s dive into the details.
SpaceX&#8217;s Starship Gets a Makeover
Elon Musk&nbsp;revealed that the upcoming version of SpaceX&#8217;s Starship spacecraft, set for its seventh test flight, boasts significant design enhancements. Musk highlighted that the new model is &#8220;lighter, easier to manufacture, and less susceptible to high heating.&#8221; These improvements are expected to enhance the spacecraft&#8217;s performance and manufacturability.

Tesla&#8217;s Affordable Model Q
Tesla Inc. is reportedly set to launch a new vehicle, the Model Q, in the first half of 2025. Priced below $30,000 after subsidies, the Model Q is expected to be a more affordable option for consumers. According to a report from Global China EV, the vehicle codenamed &#8220;Redwood,&#8221; will be built on Tesla&#8217;s latest platform and will be 15% smaller than the Model 3, with manufacturing costs significantly reduced.

GM&#8217;s Cruise Strategy Shift
General Motors&nbsp;announced it will cease funding for its Cruise robotaxi development, opting instead to integrate the unit into its technical teams. This decision, which has drawn criticism from Cruise co-founder Kyle Vogt, is part of GM&#8217;s strategy to focus on delivering superior driving experiences efficiently. The move comes as the robotaxi market becomes increasingly competitive.

Lucid&#8217;s Gravity SUV Range
Lucid Motors announced that its Gravity SUV has received an official EPA range estimate of up to 450 miles, surpassing the Tesla Model X&#8217;s range of 329 miles. However, the Gravity&#8217;s range is still less than the 512 miles offered by Lucid&#8217;s Air sedan. This new range estimate positions Gravity as a strong competitor in the electric SUV market.

BMW&#8217;s FSD Praise Retracted
Bayerische Motoren Werke AG&nbsp;initially praised Tesla&#8217;s Full Self-Driving (FSD) system on social media, calling it &#8220;very impressive.&#8221; However, the post was removed shortly after, without any explanation. This unexpected retraction has dashed hopes of a potential licensing deal between the two automotive giants.

Weekend Round-Up: Elon Musk's Spacex, Tesla's New Model, And More

Eric Trump, son of the President-elect and executive vice president of the Trump Organization, is solidifying his stance on cryptocurrency as a cornerstone of his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42379899/trump-fuels-bitcoin-rally-but-where-will-it-go-next-year">father's incoming administration</a>.
Speaking exclusively with Benzinga&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/author/bibhu-pattnaik">Bibhu Pattnaik</a>, Eric emphasized plans to work alongside his father, Donald Trump, to position the United States as the global hub for cryptocurrency. 
During his remarks, Eric criticized the current administration's handling of crypto, accusing regulators like SEC Chair Gary Gensler of waging a "holy war" against the industry. 
&#8220;The crypto community in America was under total attack by Gary Gensler and so many other people. Biden was nowhere to be found. Kamala [Harris] was nowhere to be found. They didn&#8217;t understand what crypto was. And frankly, they waged holy war against the community. And then all of a sudden my father comes in,&#8221; Eric Trump told Benzinga.
He underscored Donald Trump's support for crypto, citing his appearance at a Bitcoin conference as a pivotal moment for the industry. 
"My father wants to make America the crypto capital of the world. And he&#8217;s been very transparent about that. And the crypto community loves him in America. You know that as well as anybody. He spoke at the first Bitcoin conference and said &#8216;I stand behind you. I stand behind this community. I love this community,&#8221; he said.
Outlining a vision of a pro-crypto presidency with "sane regulation" and possible tax incentives for crypto investors, Eric Trump added, &#8220;I think there should be sane regulation. You know, and that&#8217;s what everybody wants. We&#8217;re going to make crypto great. My father said, &#8216;I&#8217;m going to have it on the balance sheet of the United States. I&#8217;m going to try and make some of it tax-free under certain parameters.&#8221;
He expressed optimism about Bitcoin and other digital currencies, describing himself as "very bullish."
While he declined to make specific predictions about Bitcoin's future value, he highlighted his own holdings, which include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Sui.

"I love Bitcoin," he said, adding that blockchain technology has the potential to outperform traditional banking, which he described as "antiquated" and inefficient.
&#8220;And listen, I&#8217;m not going to predict it because I think it&#8217;s a really bad thing if somebody in my spot starts predicting where something&#8217;s going to go,&#8221; he added. &#8220;But I will say I&#8217;m very bullish on Bitcoin and I&#8217;m bullish on crypto.&#8221;
He stressed the need for decentralized finance (DeFi) to modernize outdated financial systems, calling it a necessary step for economic innovation. "Modern banking has left 99% of people behind," Eric said, championing blockchain as a transformative technology.
&#8220;I think that modern banking is antiquated as hell. I think modern banking has been cool to a lot of people. I think modern banking has left 99% of the people behind. It&#8217;s slow. It&#8217;s inefficient. It&#8217;s costly. And there&#8217;s nothing that&#8217;s done in modern banking that can&#8217;t be done better on blockchain. And we&#8217;re all in the crypto world. I think we&#8217;re going to do very well in the crypto world. And I think you&#8217;re going to have a great ally,&#8221; Eric Trump said.
&#8220;I saw the weaponization of government firsthand in the United States. And frankly, you know, what they did to the Bitcoiners is very much the same thing that they did to our family. They waged war on them for absolutely no reason whatsoever other than to undermine an industry that for some reason that they didn&#8217;t like. So no doubt there is no support, less support for the previous government. And I think a lot of people saw that. I think people saw what they were doing to us. And I think people saw what they were doing to that community. And they moved to my father&#8217;s face,&#8221; Eric further added. 
His comments not only highlight his commitment to the industry but also signal how the Trump family aims to leverage crypto in future political and economic policies.

Walgreens Boots Alliance, Alaska Air And RH Are Among Top Mid-Cap Gainers Last Week (December 9-13): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

Former FBI officials have raised significant concerns about Kash Patel, President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s choice for FBI director, warning that he could wield <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42256740/trump-taps-loyalist-patel-for-fbi-director-signaling-major-overhaul" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">unprecedented power over the bureau if confirmed</a>.
Patel, a controversial figure with a strong loyalty to Trump, is expected to secure unanimous support from Senate Republicans, which would pave the way for his confirmation next year, per a news <a target="_blank" href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/dec/14/kash-patel-fbi-director" rel="noreferrer noopener">report</a> by The Guardian.
The potential for Patel to lead the FBI has sparked alarm among former officials, who fear that the typical checks on the FBI director&#8217;s power would be eliminated under his leadership.
Adding to his contentious reputation, Patel has faced accusations of exaggerating his role in the investigation of the 2012 Benghazi attacks, The New York Times <a target="_blank" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/13/us/politics/kash-patel-benghazi-investigation-doj.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>. These concerns raise further questions about his suitability to lead an agency tasked with upholding the rule of law.

Patel, who has no experience working at the FBI, has garnered attention for his past actions, including calling for the closure of FBI headquarters and creating an &#8220;enemies list&#8221; of individuals whom Trump believes have wronged him.
According to Frank Figliuzzi, a former assistant FBI director, Patel&#8217;s leadership could remove essential safeguards that prevent the director from becoming unchecked in their power. Figliuzzi warned that Patel could manipulate FBI resources for political retribution, citing the potential for Patel to open investigations without oversight, make public pronouncements on cases without consulting the Department of Justice, or exploit FBI files for personal or political gain.
Patel&#8217;s rise to the top of the FBI comes after Trump grew dissatisfied with current director <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/24/12/42447076/christopher-wray-to-step-down-as-fbi-faces-leadership-shift" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chris Wray</a>, particularly for his handling of the investigation into Trump&#8217;s retention of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago.
Patel&#8217;s background includes a controversial tenure in the Trump administration, where his national security experience was shaped by his alignment with Trump&#8217;s political agenda, rather than by traditional law enforcement or intelligence work.

Super Micro Computer, Adobe And Nucor Are Among Top Large Cap Losers Last Week (December 9-13): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

You&#8217;re not alone if you&#8217;ve ever wished to live overseas without breaking the bank. Growing political unrest and skyrocketing property costs in the United States have led more Americans to search for locations where they can buy real estate for a fraction of the price.
The good news is that many countries still welcome international buyers and offer easy residence options and reasonably priced real estate. Here are five places to consider for your next big move.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>This Jeff Bezos-backed startup will allow you to <a href="https://arrivedhomes.go2cloud.org/aff_c?offer_id=15&amp;aff_id=1006&amp;aff_sub=yahoo&amp;aff_sub2=byerscta100">become a landlord in just 10 minutes, with minimum investments as low as $100 for properties like the Byer House from Stranger Things.</a></li>
<li>It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $70 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks-y2">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a></li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">1. Panama</h2>
Imagine waking up to the sound of waves on pristine beaches, surrounded by lush greenery. That's Panama for you! This Central American country is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/11/41914088/thinking-about-leaving-the-u-s-after-trumps-win-here-are-the-top-expat-destinations">becoming increasingly popular</a> with expats thanks to its affordable cost of living and large English-speaking community.
Why It's Affordable: Panama&#8217;s real estate market is stable and supported by local and international buyers, so you can buy a beachfront property or a city apartment for much less than in the U.S.
Residency: To apply for residency, Realtor.com reports you'll need proof of just $1,000 in income per month – a breeze compared to other countries.
See Also: Unlock the hidden potential of commercial real estate —<a href="https://equitymultiple.com/benzinga?invite=benzinga&amp;utm_campaign=product-promotion-earn&amp;utm_source=yahooFinance&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_content=unlockboost-yahoo"> This platform allows individuals to invest in commercial real estate offering a 12% target yield with a bonus 1% return boost today!</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2. Belize</h2>
Belize is a slice of paradise where English is the official language, making it easy for Americans to settle in. With turquoise waters, a thriving expat community and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/41300048/black-iron-development-inc-announces-platinum-beach-belize-hotel-branded-residences-in-the-caribbean">low property prices</a>, it's an excellent choice for retirees or anyone seeking a laid-back lifestyle. Also, Belize is a tax haven, so you won't pay taxes on income earned outside the country.
Why It's Affordable: In areas like the Corozal District, you can find beautiful homes for as little as $100,000.
Residency: The Qualified Retirement Program allows individuals over 40 with an annual income of $24,000 to apply for long-term residency.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. Thailand</h2>
If tropical landscapes and vibrant culture excite you, Thailand is hard to beat. While foreigners can't own land here, you can purchase condos or other portable housing at incredibly low prices. Exceptional health care, affordable living and an active expat community make Thailand attractive.
Why It's Affordable: A one-bedroom condo on the stunning island of Phuket can cost under $150,000.
Residency: Thailand offers long-term visas for retirees and professionals, making staying and enjoying your new property easier.
Trending: Wondering if your investments can get you to a $5,000,000 nest egg? Speak to a financial advisor today.<a href="https://smartasset.com/retirement/find-a-financial-planner?utm_source=benzinga&amp;utm_campaign=ben&amp;utm_content=y2_5MilNestEgg"> SmartAsset&#8217;s free tool matches you up with up to three vetted financial advisors who serve your area, and you can interview your advisor matches at no cost</a> to decide which one is right for you.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">4. Spain</h2>
Spain is a European gem with its sunny weather, beautiful coastlines and rich culture. The country welcomes foreign property buyers and many areas outside big cities like Madrid and Barcelona offer incredible value for money. Another big plus is that Spain's excellent transportation network makes exploring Europe a breeze.
Why It's Affordable: You can snag a cozy villa in Andalusia or a beachfront apartment for much less than similar properties in the U.S.
Residency: The Non-Lucrative Visa is perfect for retirees or remote workers who can earn around $2,600 per month.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">5. The Philippines</h2>
The Philippines might be your ideal spot if you're looking for a destination with warm hospitality, low costs and breathtaking landscapes. The country offers everything from bustling cities to tranquil beaches and mountain retreats. You&#8217;ll feel right at home with a large American expat community and plenty of modern amenities.
Why It's Affordable: Real estate prices are some of the lowest in Southeast Asia and you can rent a city apartment for as little as $325 per month.
Residency: The Special Resident Retiree's Visa requires a real estate investment of as little as $10,000, depending on your age.
Moving abroad doesn't have to be a pipe dream. These countries make getting residency, owning real estate and living a luxurious lifestyle easier without breaking the bank. Regardless of your preference for the beaches of Panama, the culture of Spain or the tropical allure of the Philippines, now might be the ideal moment to move.

Tesla, Alphabet And Broadcom Are Among Top Large Cap Gainers Last Week (December 9-13): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

OpenAI&#8217;s CEO Sam Altman has made a surprising revelation. He chose not to take any equity in the company when it was established in 2015.
What Happened: Altman, a co-founder of the&nbsp;artificial intelligence firm, expressed&nbsp;at the New York Times&#8217;&nbsp;DealBook <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/events/dealbook/sessions/sam-altman-the-next-frontier">Summit </a>that his primary interest lies in leading the AI industry rather than in amassing wealth. His annual salary as OpenAI&#8217;s CEO is $76,000.
OpenAI, functioning as a nonprofit with a for-profit arm under Altman&#8217;s leadership, was recently valued at $157 billion. Despite the opportunity for a substantial equity stake, Altman chose to relinquish it to ensure a majority disinterested board, a prerequisite for the company&#8217;s nonprofit status.
Altman, who is already a billionaire with a&nbsp;net worth of $1.1 billion,&nbsp;primarily from equity in Stripe, Reddit, and Helion, perceives his role at OpenAI as a &#8220;childhood dream job&#8221; rather than a wealth generation source.
"This is my childhood dream job. Getting to work on artificial general intelligence and getting to sit in the room with the smartest researchers in the world and go on this crazy adventure, like that is what I always wanted to do," he said during the summit.

His choice to refuse equity has stirred intrigue among investors, with some interpreting it as a lack of faith in the company&#8217;s success. Nonetheless, Altman has reiterated his dedication to OpenAI and its mission, irrespective of its for-profit status.
"If I could go back in time, I would have taken equity, just some little bit, just to never have to answer this question," Altman said.
Why It Matters: Altman&#8217;s decision to forgo&nbsp;an equity stake in OpenAI&nbsp;is a significant move, especially considering the company&#8217;s recent valuation. His choice underscores his commitment to the company&#8217;s mission and his belief in the transformative potential of artificial intelligence.
Altman&#8217;s decision also highlights the unique structure of OpenAI, which operates as a nonprofit but has a for-profit arm. This structure allows it to attract investment while maintaining a focus on its mission rather than profit.
Despite some investors&#8217; concerns, Altman&#8217;s decision could ultimately strengthen OpenAI&#8217;s position in the AI industry by reinforcing its commitment to its mission over profit.
