Mark Zuckerberg says that the cost-value equation for colleges is cracking as degrees keep getting pricier, yet the jobs they promise are no longer guaranteed.
What Happened: Speaking on comedian Theo Von's &#8216;This Past Weekend&#8217; podcast, the Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) founder, who famously quit Harvard, warned that ballooning tuition and $1.77 trillion in U.S. student-loan <a href="https://educationdata.org/student-loan-debt-statistics">debt</a> are steering the system toward "a reckoning."
Average published tuition at public four-year schools climbed to $11,610 for in-state students in 2024, with private nonprofits topping $43,000, College Board data <a href="https://research.collegeboard.org/trends/college-pricing/highlights">shows</a>.​ "You graduate when you're in debt … and you're starting off in this big hole," Zuckerberg told Von, adding that many majors fail to deliver clear job pathways.

"There&#8217;s going to have to be a reckoning," Zuckerberg warns. "People are going to have to kind of figure out whether that makes sense."

Federal figures put total student-loan liabilities at roughly $87 billion in new borrowing each year, and 28 percent of undergraduates now take out loans. With monthly payments resuming after a three-year pause, delinquencies are rising.
Questioning college was once off-limits, Zuckerberg said, but attitudes are shifting as Gen Z weighs boot camps, certificates, and direct-to-work tech jobs.​ &#8220;It&#8217;s sort of been this taboo thing to say, like, maybe not everyone needs to go to college&#8230; I think people are probably coming around to that opinion a little more now than maybe like ten years ago," says Zuckerberg.
Why It Matters: Zuckerberg isn't the first to question the necessity of college degrees in 2025. Elon Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/04/38319479/elon-musk-thinks-college-is-basically-for-fun-and-to-prove-that-you-can-do-your-chores-says-degr">actively dismisses</a> the need for formal credentials, too. Although Musk earned degrees from the University of Pennsylvania, he walked away from a Stanford Ph.D. program after just two days.
Peter Thiel, the billionaire PayPal co-founder and early Facebook investor, challenges higher education even more directly. The Stanford graduate with philosophy and law degrees believes <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/12/42366606/peter-thiel-is-a-stanford-grad-but-thinks-college-is-such-a-waste-that-he-offers-100000-to-students-who-quit-compares-education-to-santa">college is so overrated</a> that he offers students $100,000 to drop out.

Pfizer Gears Up For Q1 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

• Looking ahead, bp expects second quarter 2025 reported upstream&#x2A; production to be broadly flat compared with the first-quarter 2025.&nbsp;
• In its customers business, bp expects seasonally higher volumes compared to the first quarter and fuels margins to remain sensitive to movements in the cost of supply.

BP Outlook Q2: Expects Flat Upstream Production, Higher Customer Volumes, And Increased Refinery Turnarounds With Margins Sensitive To Economic And Supply Cost Pressures

President Donald Trump will provide some relief to U.S. manufacturers by reportedly easing some duties imposed on foreign parts in domestically manufactured vehicles.
What Happened: Anonymous officials from the White House <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/autos/trump-tariffs-autos-exceptions-fc634efd?mod=autos_news_article_pos1">told</a> the Wall Street Journal on Monday that car manufacturers paying the tariffs wouldn't be charged on materials like aluminum and steel, and tariffs already paid on these materials would be reimbursed to the manufacturers.
"This deal is a major victory for the President&#8217;s trade policy by rewarding companies who manufacture domestically, while providing runway to manufacturers who have expressed their commitment to invest in America and expand their domestic manufacturing," U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said in a White House statement.
Officials from the Trump administration shared that the move could be implemented on Tuesday, the report added. The president is also expected to visit Michigan — home to General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) — to mark 100 days in office.
Why It Matters: The Trump administration's decision to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44798727/auto-stocks-rise-on-trumps-comments-about-supporting-us-car-companies-whats-going-on">provide some exemptions </a>in the tariffs on the auto sector had been teased by the President recently, as he had said that automakers "need a little time" to adjust to the new tariff environment and that Trump was "looking for something to help" the automakers.
Michigan-based auto groups had previously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44729157/michigan-auto-groups-criticize-trump-for-not-halting-auto-tariffs">criticized the Trump administration</a> for the auto tariffs, saying that the move would cast uncertainty over the employees and the supply chain. &#8220;Michigan&#8217;s signature industry and the supply chains and employees that sustain it will continue to endure the uncertainty and disruption of these fluctuating trade policies,&#8221; the groups said in their statement.
The auto industry in the U.S. currently faces uncertainty over the supply chain, which has been described as ‘complex' by companies, as the tariffs would cost the domestic auto sector <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44756759/new-research-shows-donald-trumps-25-tariffs-could-cost-auto-companies-108billion-report">over $108 billion</a>, according to some experts.
However, the move could provide a boost to the sector, especially Detroit-based automakers General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) and Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), as recently, ratings agency S&amp;P shared that the companies were at risk of receiving <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44806252/trump-tariffs-could-put-ford-gm-at-high-risk-of-negative-ratings-report">a negative rating </a>in light of the 25% tariffs.
Price action: GM currently trades for $47.24 on the NYSE, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Earlier this month, during testimony at the Department of Justice's antitrust trial against Google in Washington, OpenAI executive Nick Turley said the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/04/44941262/openai-once-tried-to-use-googles-search-technology-instead-of-microsoft-bing-due-to-quality-issues-was-rejected-now-sam-altmans-startup-says-itd-buy-chrome-if-forced-antitrust-sale-happens">company had tried to partner</a> with Google to improve ChatGPT's search capabilities.
However, Google declined, citing the involvement of too many competitors, according to an email presented at trial.
OpenAI has also secured $40 billion in funding, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44678864/openai-eyes-500-million-deal-to-acquire-jony-ive-and-sam-altmans-ai-hardware-startup-report">boosting its valuation to $300 billion</a>.

Jim Cramer believes excessive pessimism may be clouding Wall Street&#8217;s outlook, arguing that strong employment trends could prevent an economic downturn despite tariff concerns.
What Happened: &#8220;Will the tariffs hurt? Yes. Will prices go higher? Yes. Could there be shortages? Absolutely,&#8221; CNBC&#8217;s Cramer <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/28/continued-job-growth-could-help-ward-off-a-recession-jim-cramer-says.html?ref=biztoc.com">said</a> Monday. &#8220;But recessions revolve around employment, and there are still so many more jobs than we have people to fill them.&#8221;
Recession fears have grown amid President Donald Trump&#8216;s sweeping tariff hikes, especially those targeting China. However, Cramer maintains that companies are reluctant to lay off workers they might struggle to rehire when conditions improve.
&#8220;It&#8217;s difficult to derail an economy that is still creating jobs,&#8221; Cramer noted, predicting Friday&#8217;s labor report will be &#8220;fairly robust,&#8221; making it challenging to &#8220;slip into a full-blown recession any time soon.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Recent data support this optimism. March <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44645518/strong-jobs-report-offers-hope-but-will-it-be-enough-to-counter-tariff-turmoil">nonfarm payrolls surged by 228,000</a>, exceeding the three-month average of 195,000 and economists&#8217; forecasts of 135,000, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
While many <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45033463/as-china-downplays-trump-tariffs-with-5-growth-target-top-economist-warns-of-90-chance-of-a-us-recession-amid-trade-war">economists paint a bleaker picture</a>—including Apollo Global Management&#8216;s Chief Economist Torsten Slok, who predicted a &#8220;90% chance&#8221; of recession if current tariff levels persist—not all share this view. The CEO of Chevron Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>) recently stated there were &#8220;no signs of a recession at this point.&#8221;
Cramer suggested that while some businesses may suffer from tariff-induced price increases, consumers could adapt by turning to budget-friendly retailers like Costco Wholesale Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>) and Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>).
&#8220;These two retailers have more market power than any two companies I&#8217;ve ever seen,&#8221; he said. &#8220;They can negotiate lower prices with their suppliers to offset the tariffs, including the Chinese.&#8221;

Jim Cramer Dismisses Recession Panic: Says Tariffs May Sting, But Too 'Many Jobs' For Economy To 'Derail'

Billionaire and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk could potentially dodge over $2 billion in financial liabilities due to his sway over the U.S. government, according to a report by Senate Democratic committee staffers.
What Happened: Musk's &#8220;Department of Government Efficiency&#8221; (DOGE) has driven major changes in Washington, with President Donald Trump supporting Musk's push for cuts. On the day of Trump's inauguration, Musk's companies — including SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, The Boring Company, and xAI — were dealing with at least 65 &#8220;actual or potential&#8221; regulatory or enforcement actions from 11 federal agencies, posing a potential liability of at least $2.37 billion.
Included in this is $1.19 billion in liabilities for Tesla over allegations of misleading statements regarding its autopilot and self-driving capabilities. Neuralink may also be liable for up to $281 million due to claims of misrepresenting the risks associated with its products. 
In reaction to the 44-page memo, Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) has asked for information from the five Musk-led companies on the federal investigations they faced before Trump&#8217;s inauguration. The White House has firmly denied any claims that Musk has leveraged his government role for &#8220;personal or financial gain,&#8221; stating "any assertion otherwise is completely false and defamatory."
Tesla did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment.

Why It Matters: The DOGE has found itself at the center of debate several times. Earlier this month, the House Democrats <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44888379/elon-musks-doge-under-fire-house-democrats-say-agency-is-building-unlawful-master-database-of-sensitive-us-data">expressed concerns</a> about DOGE, alleging that it was building a cross-agency master database that could potentially compromise privacy and national security.
Musk faces <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/02/43931361/elon-musks-spacex-pushes-to-install-starlink-in-us-airspace-network-raising-conflict-of-interest-concerns-and-threatening-verizons-2-billion-deal">conflict of interests with several agencies</a>, including the FAA, which oversees SpaceX, and the NHTSA, which is investigating Tesla and recently saw key self-driving experts fired.
Overseen by Musk, the department has reportedly saved $160 billion by eradicating <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45034082/elon-musks-doge-saves-160-billion-but-could-lead-to-billions-in-hidden-costs-for-taxpayers-warns-new-analysis-public-will-end-up-paying-for-this">wasteful </a>government spending. However, the same report highlighted that DOGE&#8217;s actions could cost taxpayers up to $135 billion in the same fiscal year, excluding the costs of defending multiple lawsuits against DOGE&#8217;s actions or the estimated loss in tax collections due to IRS staff reductions.
Meanwhile, during the recent Tesla conference call, Musk announced plans to <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/04/44945402/wedbushs-dan-ives-raises-teslas-price-target-to-350-as-musk-promises-to-significantly-reduce-doge-time" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">dedicate more of his time to Tesla,</a> starting next month. Musk stated, "I'll continue to spend a day or two per week on government matters for as long as the President would like me to do so." 
He further added, "Starting next month, I&#8217;ll be allocating far <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44974342/elon-musks-wealth-skyrockets-by-billions-as-tesla-stock-rallies-after-billionaire-ceo-steps-back-from-doge">more of my time to Tesla."</a>

Elon Musk's DOGE Influence Could Help His Companies Avoid Over $2 Billion In Potential Liabilities: Senate Report

Quick-service restaurant chain Domino's Pizza Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DPZ#NASDAQ">DPZ</a>) confirmed its newly announced partnership with DoorDash Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DASH#NASDAQ">DASH</a>) for a nationwide rollout beginning in May, followed by an expansion into Canada later in the year.
What Happened: On Monday, during the restaurant chain&#8217;s first quarter earnings call, the management discussed its recent partnership with DoorDash, which was announced at the beginning of this month. 
After testing across a small number of stores, it now plans a nationwide rollout starting in May, which is set to be complete towards the end of the second quarter. The company expects this to have a sizable impact on top-line growth during the second half of this year.

According to Domino&#8217;s CEO, Russell Leener, 50% of orders from DoorDash are expected to be incremental, which means half the orders coming from the platform will be new, and not cannibalizing current sales.
&#8220;If customers want to buy us on DoorDash, it's because of their natural behavior on that platform, and we're fine with that,&#8221; Leener says, adding that DoorDash will have 2x the contribution of Uber Eats, with which Domino&#8217;s has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/07/33244909/this-analyst-with-83-accuracy-rate-sees-around-14-upside-in-uber-technologies-here-are-5-stock-picks">been working since</a> 2023, contributing 3% to the company&#8217;s sales in 2024.
The company believes this move will help its rural and suburban stores, just as Uber Eats helped it penetrate deeper into underserved urban regions. Leener says, &#8220;Our strategy for aggregators has been to meet customers where they are, whichever app they're on.&#8221;
The company, however, says that it will continue to retain its delivery drivers, and will not expand delivery zones, a decision aimed at preserving product quality. Additionally, its loyalty program will remain exclusive to purchases made directly through its existing platform.
Why It Matters: Despite being a holdout against third-party delivery apps for years, the company decided to give in after its <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/02/43909695/dominos-pizza-posts-q4-earnings-below-estimates-stock-falls">same-store sales</a> continued to lag during its recent fourth quarter earnings release.
The same lackluster same-store figures were reported during its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/45039495/dominos-pizza-q1-operating-margin-shrinks-as-lower-income-consumers-feel-the-pinch">first quarter results</a> on Monday, but the company projects a 3% growth in same-store sales for the full year, partly due to these strategic initiatives.
Domino&#8217;s COO, Joe Jordan, recently said that third-party delivery platforms represent a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44608585/whats-going-on-with-dominos-pizza-stock-today">$1 billion opportunity</a> for the company. &#8220;Tapping into incremental customers, particularly in suburban and rural markets, is a meaningful opportunity for Domino's,&#8221; he added.
Price Action: Shares of Domino&#8217;s Pizza were up 0.63% on Monday, and are down 0.13% in after-hours trading, following the company&#8217;s miss on top-line consensus estimates during its first quarter results after markets closed.

Dominos Is 'Fine' With DoorDash, Eyes Full National Rollout For Q2: CEO Says Pizza Giant's Strategy Is To 'Meet Customers Where They Are'

Side hustles aren't just for TikTok teens anymore. Four in 10 retired Americans now fear their nest egg won't carry them through a longer, costlier old age, and many are copying Gen Z's gig-economy playbook to plug the gap, according to a new study.
What Happened: A new D.A. Davidson <a href="https://www.dadavidson.com/About-Us/News/ArticleID/7003/Nearly-Two-Thirds-Retired-Americans-Wish-They-Had-Side-Gig-to-Support-Ideal-Retirement-Lifestyle">survey</a> reveals inflation, stock-market whiplash, and doubts about Social Security have pushed Gen X and baby-boomer retirees back into the labor pool as substitute teachers, real estate agents, and rideshare drivers. 
"The definition of — and classic timeline for — retirement is changing," said Andrew Crowell, vice chair of wealth management at D.A. Davidson. "A side gig doesn't have to be a last resort in retirement. It can actually be an integral part of retirement planning, supplementing savings while also encouraging engagement in the community and keeping the mind sharp."

Nearly 60 percent of respondents said they either have or want auxiliary income. Yet only 20 percent name debt as the motivator. A larger share, 55 percent, cite social or mental benefits — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37261283/gen-z-plans-on-retiring-early-there-might-be-a-key-reason-why">echoing younger workers</a> who moonlight to pursue passions as much as cash. Separate polling shows almost two-thirds of adults under 35 have launched, or plan to launch, a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44539746/31-of-u-s-workers-have-a-side-hustle-but-which-professions-are-the-most-likely-to-take-on-side-gigs">side business</a>.
Why It Matters: Longer lifespans are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/42236322/ebri-study-reveals-58-of-retirees-retire-earlier-than-expected-heres-why">amplifying the math</a>. "Unlike past generations, current retirees are staying active longer in retirement and living longer, which increases the amount of money they need throughout retirement," said Patrick Doherty, senior vice president at Wealth Enhancement Group. He urges clients to pay themselves first by funneling gig earnings into 401(k)s or brokerage accounts before discretionary spending kicks in.
With 20-plus million retirees second-guessing their savings target, experts say the once-traditional vision of a work-free retirement is giving way to a hybrid model — part leisure, part Lyft — where extra income and community engagement share top billing.

Gen X Are Hustling Like Gen Z — But For A Very Different Reason

The Arizona House of Representatives greenlit two bills on Monday that could establish a Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) or other cryptocurrency reserves in the state.
What Happened: Senate Bill 1025, called the Arizona Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act,  secured 31 votes in favor and 25 against. The legislation proposed allocating up to 10% of the state treasury and retirement system funds to be allocated in digital currencies, especially Bitcoin.
Additionally, SB1373, which proposes the establishment of&nbsp;a state-level digital assets reserve,&nbsp;was passed with 37 votes in favor and 19 against. 
The bills now proceed toward Governor Katie Hobbs&#8217; desk for approval

Why It Matters: With these approvals, Arizona is now closer than any other state to having a law that establishes&nbsp;a cryptocurrency or Bitcoin strategic&nbsp;reserve, <a href="https://bitcoinlaws.io/reserve-race">according</a> to Bitcoin Laws. 
The move by Arizona&#8217;s lawmakers aligns with a broader trend of increasing interest in cryptocurrencies at the state level, spurred by the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43177482/trump-signs-executive-order-on-crypto-bitcoin-reserve-to-be-evaluated">establishment of a Bitcoin reserve at the federal level</a> earlier in the year by President Donald Trump.
The federal government will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43177482/trump-signs-executive-order-on-crypto-bitcoin-reserve-to-be-evaluated">fund the stockpile</a> with Bitcoin recovered through criminal or civil asset forfeiture processes. Additional Bitcoin will be acquired through &#8220;budget-neutral strategies.&#8221;
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $94,441.55, up 0.36% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
