A new biography on Elon Musk sheds light on the billionaire entrepreneur&#8217;s Icarus moment. Hubris Maximus, by Washington Post technology reporter Faiz Siddiqui, uncovers &#8220;The Shattering of Elon Musk&#8221; across three distinct periods in recent years.
What Happened: On Wednesday, Siddiqui offered a brief glimpse of his upcoming book on Musk, discussing his opinions on CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Squawk Box.&#8221;
Siddiqui says that his book depicts the Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO in three distinct phases, starting with the controversial <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/01/30588579/elon-musk-tweets-funding-secured-in-2018-how-much-would-1-000-in-tesla-stock-be-worth-now">&#8220;funding secured&#8221; tweet</a> in 2018, which prompted a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation, followed by the COVID-19 era, and then the acquisition of Twitter, or as it&#8217;s now called, X.
See More: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44965461/elon-musks-ex-wife-jumped-into-a-random-thread-to-answer-what-it-takes-to-be-a-billionaire-her-message-the-world-doesnt-care-what-you-want">Elon Musk&#8217;s Ex-Wife Jumped Into a Random Thread To Answer What It Takes To Be a Billionaire — Her Message: The World Doesn&#8217;t Care What You Want</a>
The book describes a pattern that Siddiqui notices with Musk, which often involves a big event, such as the acquisition of Twitter, resulting in public backlash, followed by a quiet period, and then reinvention, with Musk moving on to something else.
According to Siddiqui, his book depicts several instances of individuals who &#8220;fiercely&#8221; and &#8220;devotedly&#8221; believed in Musk&#8217;s promises, and while they still support his goals, they were &#8220;disappointed in the man.&#8221;
Unlike Icarus, the author doesn&#8217;t believe that Musk has, or is going to, crash and burn. What&#8217;s &#8220;shattered&#8221; is essentially the &#8220;veneer on Elon,&#8221; Siddiqui says. &#8220;Elon was unimpeachably our Tony Stark,&#8221; he says, but he doesn&#8217;t think that&#8217;s true anymore, thanks to the tech mogul&#8217;s &#8220;Hubris,&#8221; or exaggerated pride. 
Why It Matters: Recently, Musk&#8217;s behavior and <a href="https://benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/01/42935746/is-elon-musks-mental-health-a-cause-for-concern-biographer-thinks-so">mental health issues</a> came under scrutiny when his biographer, Seth Abramson, voiced his fears.
Musk himself has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/03/37797951/elon-musk-on-ketamine-and-investors-value-if-there-is-something-im-taking-i-should-keep-taking-it">acknowledged and defended</a> his use of prescription Ketamine to treat occasional depressive episodes, adding that the drug has been beneficial for investors in his companies.
Back in 2017, when asked if he was bipolar by a user on Twitter, Musk replied, &#8220;Yeah,&#8221; before adding, &#8220;Maybe not medically [though].&#8221; Around the same time, he tweeted about experiencing &#8220;greater highs, terrible lows, and unrelenting stress,&#8221; hinting at bipolar disorder.

Despite recent turbulence, many investors and analysts continue to express confidence in Elon Musk's leadership and long-term vision. 
On Wednesday, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44955303/tesla-stock-is-ripping-higher-wednesday-whats-driving-the-action">Tesla shares rallied</a> after Musk announced he would scale back his involvement in the Department of Government Efficiency starting in May, a market reaction that came in spite of the company's weak first-quarter results.
Analyst Dan Ives of Wedbush Securities <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44945402/wedbushs-dan-ives-raises-teslas-price-target-to-350-as-musk-promises-to-significantly-reduce-doge-time">raised his target</a> for Tesla to $350, a 40% upside from current levels, merely on news of Musk&#8217;s return as a full-time CEO. This comes despite a range of challenges and headwinds now facing the EV giant. This &#8220;removes the black clouds over Tesla,&#8221; Ives said, as he will be &#8220;laser-focused&#8221; on Tesla again. 
Price Action: Tesla shares rallied 5.37% on Wednesday, following the company&#8217;s much-anticipated first quarter earnings, which was released on Tuesday.

Regarding the tariff situation, there could be some short-term disruption. We will continue to utilize the flexibility of our global manufacturing network to minimize impact of the evolving tariff landscape. Based on what we see today, we currently expect a EUR 20 to 30 million impact to our comparable operating profit in the second quarter from the current tariffs. Given the lack of visibility, we have not taken an assumption related to tariffs in the second half of 2025.

Only 15 percent of Americans, ages 18 to 29, think the nation is headed the right way, deepening what researchers call a generational crisis of confidence.
What Happened: The <a href="https://iop.harvard.edu/youth-poll/50th-edition-spring-2025">spring</a> Harvard Youth Poll of 2,096 respondents, aged between 18 and 29 years, found 51 percent believe the country is on the wrong track and 31 percent are unsure. Just 3 percent declined to answer. Trust in Washington is equally sparse, with only 19 percent saying the federal government "does the right thing" most of the time, while fewer than one in three trust Congress, the president, or the Supreme Court.
President Joe Biden still fares better than his successor on the question of who presided over sunnier times. 41 percent say the nation was better off under Biden, compared with 25 percent for former president-turned-incumbent Donald Trump.
Trump's approval rating among young people stands at 31 percent, virtually unchanged from the same point in his first term. Trust in congressional Democrats has tumbled to 23 percent, down from 42 percent in early 2019.

Pollsters tested nine items from Trump's 2025 agenda; none topped 35 percent support. The most popular, creating a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/42069236/trump-tasked-elon-musk-to-oversee-government-efficiency-heres-how-musk-has-streamlined-costs-at-his-own-companies">Department of Government Efficiency</a>, drew barely a third of young Americans. Tariffs, abolishing the Education Department, and pardons for Jan. 6 rioters each mustered backing from two in 10 or fewer.
Why It Matters: Data from the Harvard Youth Poll coincides with the release of a new Reuters/Ipsos survey, which finds approval of Trump's handling of the economy and inflation has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44948841/trump-economic-approval-rating-drops-to-37-as-market-selloff-erodes-public-support-poll">slid to 37 percent</a>, down from 42 percent recorded just after his Jan. 20 inauguration. Together, the polls paint a picture of mounting public unease as Trump nears his 100-day mark.
Other gauges echo the turbulence. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44890428/trumps-gallup-approval-stands-at-45-topping-same-point-in-first-presidency-but-hes-down-16-in-economist-survey">Gallup</a> put Trump's overall approval at 45 percent in April — up from 41 percent at the same point in his first term — while an Economist/YouGov survey reported a 16-point plunge since January.

However, the latest Reuters/Ipsos figures suggest a sustained downward trend tied to economic anxieties and jittery financial markets.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent voiced support for fossil fuel development in emerging economies, criticizing the push for renewables-only energy solutions as unrealistic for countries facing basic economic challenges.
What Happened: &#8220;Energy abundance sparks economic abundance,&#8221; Bessent wrote Wednesday on X. &#8220;Developing countries can&#8217;t afford the luxury belief that all energy must be renewable energy.&#8221;
Speaking at the Institute of International Finance Global Outlook Forum during the IMF World Bank Spring Meetings, Bessent emphasized that people in developing nations are &#8220;simply trying to put food on the table—not virtue signal to their friends and colleagues.&#8221;
Bessent called for an &#8220;all-of-the-above approach&#8221; that includes both fossil fuels and renewables where feasible. He stressed that affordable baseload generation, often from gas and other fossil fuels, must be the priority for developing economies to avoid the intermittency problems seen in countries like South Africa.

Why It Matters: His comments align with President Donald Trump&#8216;s broader pivot toward fossil fuel promotion. While some oil and gas executives have criticized Trump&#8217;s &#8220;drill, baby, drill&#8221; agenda as creating uncertainty, the administration has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/03/44522105/oil-and-gas-executives-rebuke-trumps-drill-baby-drill-agenda-we-want-more-stability">pushed forward with fossil fuel-friendly policies</a>.
The administration has already moved to cut nearly $10 billion in clean energy funding that would impact projects with Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) and Occidental Petroleum Corp.

These policy shifts mark a significant reversal from previous climate-focused agendas. U.S. oil production reached 13.5 million barrels per day in March, up from 12.8 million in December, reflecting the administration&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/04/44903411/trumps-2025-energy-policy-a-resurgence-of-fossil-fuel">emphasis on domestic energy production</a>.

Nokia 2025 Guidance: Expects €1.9B–€2.4B Comparable Operating Profit, Free Cash Flow At 50%–80%; Flags Unexpected Charge In Mobile Networks

Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google is reportedly telling <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/06/32773735/after-meta-google-issues-notice-to-bring-employees-back-to-office">some remote employees</a> to adopt a hybrid schedule or accept a voluntary exit package as part of a broader cost-cutting effort.
What Happened: Several teams within Google have notified remote workers that their jobs may be at risk if they do not begin working from the office at least three days per week, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/23/google-teams-are-including-remote-workers-in-their-cuts.html">reported</a> CNBC, citing internal documents.&nbsp;
The directive applies even to employees who were previously approved for fully remote work.
Units including Google Technical Services and People Operations are enforcing stricter in-office requirements. Workers living within 50 miles of a Google office must now follow a hybrid schedule or face job elimination.
In some cases, the company is offering one-time relocation payments to employees who agree to move closer to an office.
Google spokesperson Courtenay Mencini said the policy is being implemented at the team level rather than across the company.&nbsp;
"In-person collaboration is an important part of how we innovate and solve complex problems," she said in a statement to the publication.
Google did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga's</a> request for comments.

Why It&#8217;s Important: The shift follows voluntary exit programs announced earlier this year, affecting groups such as Android, Chrome, Fitbit, and Nest, where remote status was reportedly a factor in restructuring decisions.
Last year in October, during a town hall meeting, Google had assured employees it would not adopt the strict return-to-office policy implemented by Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>).
Meanwhile, Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) has reportedly introduced updated performance management policies, which include a two-year rehire ban for employees <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44917739/microsoft-cracks-down-on-underperformers-with-new-policies-including-two-year-rehire-ban-report">deemed underperforming</a>.
Price Action: Alphabet Inc. Class A shares ended Wednesday at $155.35, gaining 2.56%, and edged up another 0.30% in after-hours trading. Class C shares closed at $157.72, up 2.48%, with a further after-hours increase of 0.43%, based on <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

NHL And Canada-Based Ndax Announce Partnership For 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs, Launches Prediction Game That Gives Users Chance To Win Finals Ticket And Crypto

Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) is implementing a strategic pivot in response to China&#8217;s halt of aircraft deliveries amid escalating tariff tensions, according to statements made during the company&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44948499/boeing-stock-jumps-after-q1-2025-results-production-expansion-plans-for-737-and-787">first quarter of 2025 earnings call</a>.
What Happened: CEO Kelly Ortberg confirmed that Chinese customers have indicated they will not take delivery of Boeing aircraft following China&#8217;s implementation of 125% retaliatory tariffs on U.S.-made goods, a response to President Donald Trump&#8216;s 145% tariffs on Chinese imports.
&#8220;Due to the tariffs, many of our customers in China have indicated they will not take delivery,&#8221; Ortberg said during the earnings call. &#8220;We&#8217;re not going to continue to build aircraft for customers who will not take them.&#8221;
Boeing has approximately 50 China deliveries planned for the remainder of 2025, including 41 aircraft already built or in production. The company is actively assessing options to remarket these planes to other customers, with Ortberg noting strong demand elsewhere.
&#8220;There&#8217;s plenty of customers out there looking for the Max aircraft,&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44960098/boeing-ceo-says-china-stopped-taking-airplane-deliveries-as-trade-war-rages">Ortberg told CNBC</a>. &#8220;I&#8217;m not going to let this derail the recovery of our company.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Despite these challenges, Boeing reported better-than-expected first-quarter results with revenue increasing 18% year-over-year to $19.5 billion. The company delivered 130 aircraft in the quarter, exceeding internal projections, and reported a core operating margin recovery to 1% from -2.3% a year ago.
The company expects to largely offset any potential cash flow impact from the China situation, maintaining its cash usage projection of $4-5 billion for the year.
&#8220;We had a really good start to the year operationally, which we believe puts us in a position to largely offset any potential cash flow impact of China deliveries,&#8221; said CFO Brian West.
Price Action: Boeing Co. closed at $172.37 on Thursday, up 6.06%. After hours, it slipped slightly to $172.36. Year to date, the stock is up 0.29%.
Boeing shows weak growth and valuation metrics, according to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings. While the stock has positive momentum, BA continues to exhibit a negative price trend in the short to long term. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Sign up to learn more.</a>

Boeing Adjusts Strategy Amid Trump Tariff Fallout, CEO Kelly Ortberg Says Won't 'Build Aircraft For Customers Who Will Not Take Them' As China Halts Deliveries

China's reported breakthrough in producing 5-nanometer <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/eurozone/25/03/44253751/asml-boosts-ai-chip-rd-in-europe-amid-us-sanctions-china-slowdown-and-subsidy-uncertainty">chips without extreme ultraviolet</a> (EUV) lithography has sparked warnings from tech leaders.
What Happened: On Wednesday, William Huo, Intel Corp's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) first chief representative in Beijing, took to X, formerly Twitter, and highlighted the report that China's Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC) had manufactured 5 nm-class chips without using EUV tools.
"BREAKING: China made 5nm chips without EUV. Let that sink in," Huo wrote. "No ASML. No Nikon. Just brute-force DUV, clever engineering, and sheer industrial will."
He credited the milestone to advanced deep ultraviolet (DUV) techniques and innovations like Self-Aligned Quadruple Patterning (SAQP), calling the result "Moore's Law by force, not finesse."

Huo said that these chips are symbolic of China's resilience against U.S. sanctions and its emergence as a self-reliant chip powerhouse.
Responding to Huo's thread on the platform, venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya added his own stark assessment, saying, "There is one, and only one, battle that must be won&#8230; Technical Superiority."&nbsp;
"Countries who have technical superiority will have military and economic superiority over those that don't&#8230; China is formidable and neck and neck with America, but America can win if we focus and prioritize."
The "SPAC King" warned that America could lose its edge if it continues to favor bureaucracy and red tape over actual innovation and scaling.

Why It's Important: Last month, Wccftech cited industry insiders and <a href="https://wccftech.com/smic-5nm-development-completed-in-2025/">reported</a> that SMIC is expected to complete its 5nm chip development by 2025.
However, the manufacturing cost of these chips could be up to 50% higher than that of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>), largely due to SMIC&#8217;s inability to access advanced EUV tools.
As per the report, SMIC&#8217;s yield rates for 5nm wafers are roughly one-third of what TSMC achieves on comparable technology. Despite these challenges, Huawei Technologies is said to be planning to incorporate SMIC's 5nm chips into its Ascend 910C AI processors.
This is part of broader efforts to reduce dependence on Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and boost domestic capabilities.
While reporting its first-quarter financial results, TSMC said, &#8220;Moving into second quarter 2025, we expect our business to be supported by strong demand for our industry-leading 3nm and 5nm technologies,&#8221; referring to the continuing demand for these chips.
Earlier this month, the White House enacted a permanent export restriction on Nvidia's H20 chips to China, a move that the company says could impact its quarterly revenue by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44828742/nvidia-stock-is-tumbling-after-hours-heres-why">as much as $5.5 billion</a>.
This is part of the U.S. government&#8217;s efforts to bring advanced chip manufacturing back home. A key piece of the puzzle is cutting-edge technology like EUV lithography from Dutch company ASML Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>), which is essential for producing smaller, more powerful chips.
Intel earns a growth rating of 3.59% from Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to compare its performance</a> with TSMC, Nvidia, and other leading tech giants.

China's Chip Breakthrough Without ASML Makes Chamath Palihapitiya Take Stock Of Beijing's 'Formidable' Nature: 'America Can Win If…'

Retail investors are raising concerns over U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's recent remarks on tariffs and the ongoing trade tensions with China, delivered at a closed-door investor summit hosted by JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>). 
Bessent&#8217;s comments, which sparked a $2.2 trillion surge in the markets, have been criticized by retail traders who say they were shut out of potentially market-moving information.
What Happened: On Wednesday, popular financial newsletter The Kobeissi Letter voiced concerns about fairness in a post on X, referring to Bessent's recent appearance at a private, closed-door investor summit.
The post highlights that the event wasn&#8217;t &#8220;open to the public or media,&#8221; and it was where Bessent first said that he expects a &#8220;de-escalation with China,&#8221; before describing the current trade environment as &#8220;unsustainable for both sides.&#8221;

These remarks were made at 12:00 PM EST, according to the post, following which the markets witnessed a surge in volumes, with the S&amp;P 500 Futures rallying +5%, resulting in a total gain of $2.2 trillion in market cap, while retail traders and investors were still kept in the dark.

It was only at 5:18 PM EST that President Donald Trump said tariffs on China &#8220;will not be as high as 145%,&#8221; which finally brought retail into the loop.
&#8220;Investors at the JP Morgan event were able to front-run these headlines,&#8221; it says, before asking, &#8220;How is this fair for retail investors?&#8221;
Other X users have raised similar concerns, with Cheddar Pool, a service that tracks options order flows, sharing insights on an S&amp;P 500 &#8220;Whale&#8221; who added $2.2 million in 1DTE (one day to expiry options) at 3:21 PM EST on Tuesday, while asking &#8220;Bessent, was that you?&#8221;
According to the post, that whale is now up 460%, with gains of over $10 million, within just a day.
