Economist Nouriel Roubini says President Donald Trump's tariff barrage will sting in the short run but can't derail America's growth engines. 
What Happened: In a new Project Syndicate <a href="https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/markets-fed-technology-will-offset-trump-tariffs-by-nouriel-roubini-2025-04?">column</a>, the 2008-crisis oracle, also often called &#8216;Dr. Doom&#8217;, argues that market pushback, an independent Federal Reserve, and thin GOP majorities have already forced Trump to dial down "reciprocal" duties and retreat from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44941184/roubini-trump-wants-a-rate-cutbut-powells-restraint-is-the-only-thing-saving-him-from-a-market-meltdown">threats against</a> Fed Chair Jerome Powell.
Roubini notes bond traders and equity investors effectively "vetoed" a blanket tariff plan, while Congress is mulling laws to curb the White House's trade powers. Inside the administration, moderates such as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent steered policy toward negotiation after early hard-line wins by adviser Peter Navarro.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Tech Will Eventually Reign Supreme, Says Roubini</h4>
Roubini contends that technology is more powerful than political guardrails. He projects U.S. potential growth will double to roughly 4 percent by 2030 as artificial-intelligence spending fuels a capital-expenditure boom. America leads in <a href="https://x.com/nouriel/status/1912534179159429556">ten of the 12 industries</a> that will define the next decade, from cloud chips to biotech, and those gains, he says, outweigh tariff drag four-to-one.

The economist concedes inflation could top 4 percent this year, and a mild, two-quarter recession may hit when real incomes absorb higher import costs. But he expects the Fed to cut rates once activity stalls, setting up a rebound by mid-2026. "Even Mickey Mouse in the Oval Office couldn't stop the AI wave," <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44754363/dr-doom-transforms-to-dr-boom-nouriel-roubini-says-mickey-mouse-could-be-us-president-and-economy-will-keep-growing">he writes</a>, predicting sustained foreign equity inflows and only a gradual dollar slide.
Europe, by contrast, faces aging demographics and a widening innovation gap, leaving the U.S. poised to exit any Trump-induced turbulence stronger than before.
What To Know: America&#8217;s first-quarter GDP <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/45100047/recession-odds-spike-wall-street-tumbles-as-q1-gdp-surprisingly-contracts-be-patient-trump-responds">unexpectedly shrank</a> by 0.3% annualized on Wednesday, down from 2.4% growth in the prior quarter and well below the 0.4% expansion analysts forecast, marking the U.S. economy's first quarterly contraction since mid-2022. 
That surprise pullback has pushed recession odds for 2025 to a record 74%, according to bets on CFTC-regulated platform Kalshi. President Donald Trump seized on the data to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45124644/trump-blames-gdp-contraction-on-biden-overhang-nothing-to-do-with-the-tariffs">blame his predecessor</a>, posting, "This is Biden's stock market, not Trump's," and insisted the downturn "has nothing to do with the tariffs. Roubini, meanwhile, has blasted Trump's tariffs from the outset, branding the phrase "Liberation Day" as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44620056/dr-doom-nouriel-roubini-trumps-liberation-day-tariff-label-is-orwellian-doublespeak-us-playing-with-fire">Orwellian doublespeak</a>. He argued that the levies would slash growth and ignite inflation.
He repeatedly warned that <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44677685/dr-doom-roubini-warns-markets-delusional-about-fed-rescue-as-trump-xi-jinping-jerome-powell-locked-in-high-stakes-standoff?_gl=1&#x2A;19yg2pd&#x2A;_gcl_au&#x2A;Njk0ODEyNDAxLjE3NDA0NTQxMzE.&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;R1MxLjEuMTc0NDM1NzIyNC4xLjAuMTc0NDM1NzIyNC4wLjAuMA..&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTc0NjA3MjcyNi4xLjAuMTc0NjA3MjcyNi4wLjAuMA..">investors misread</a> the Fed's resolve, describing a three-way game of chicken among Trump, Fed Chair Jerome Powell and China's Xi Jinping. In that showdown, he predicts, Trump will blink first.

El Salvador&#8217;s economy minister reiterated the country&#8217;s resolve to hoard more Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) Tuesday despite the International Monetary Fund&#8217;s requirement to reduce exposure to the leading cryptocurrency.
What happened: During an <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-29/el-salvador-says-its-still-buying-bitcoin-after-inking-imf-loan">interview</a> with Bloomberg, Maria Luisa Hayem called Bitcoin an "important project" initiated by President Nayib Bukele.
"There's a commitment of President Bukele to keep accumulating assets as a way to do precisely that," Hayem said when asked if the government was still buying Bitcoin.
Notably, the IMF had asked El Salvador <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44133314/el-salvadors-president-bukele-remains-defiant-amid-imfs-concerns-on-bitcoin-accumulation-it-wont-stop-now-and-it-wont-stop-in-the-future">to halt public sector Bitcoin purchases</a> as part of a $1.4 billion funding deal earlier this year, but Bukele has remained defiant, stating emphatically, "It won&#8217;t stop now, and it won&#8217;t stop in the future."
El Salvador's Bitcoin <a href="https://bitcoin.gob.sv/">stockpile</a> has risen to 6,163.18 BTC as of this writing, worth over $584.47 million at prevailing prices. It has added 30 BTC to its treasury in the last month.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $94,767.23, down 0.16% 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..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

El Salvador Committed To Buy Bitcoin Despite IMF Requirement, Says Minister— 'Important Project' Started By Nayib Bukele

On Wednesday, Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) CEO Mark Zuckerberg predicts that the future of AI won't follow the &#8220;winner takes most&#8221; model seen in the search engine industry.
What Happened: During <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/45117948/meta-q1-earnings-eps-beat-revenue-up-16-ai-approaches-1-billion-monthly-actives-capital-expenditures-forecast-raised">Meta's first-quarter earnings</a> call, Zuckerberg addressed the growing competition among AI assistants, including Meta's own AI.
He believes that, just like today's app market, users will rely on various AI tools depending on their specific requirements, rather than adopting a single, all-encompassing solution.
People are likely to use different agents for different things, Zuckerberg said. He went on to add that one AI may be optimized for enterprise productivity, while another focuses on personal tasks, and yet another could cater to entertainment and social connectivity.

Zuckerberg hinted that while some AI tools may overlap in functionality, he envisions a diversified market where no single player dominates every niche.
The Meta CEO also pointed out the growing significance of personalization in AI. As AIs begin to understand users&#8217; preferences and build memory over time, personalized interactions will become a major "differentiator," he explained.
He also highlighted the importance of multimodal capabilities. This means AI wouldn't just be limited to text-based answers, but would also be able to understand and generate different types of media, like voice, images, and videos.
&#8220;I think Meta AI is well-positioned, but we have a lot of work to do in order to make it the leading personal AI,&#8221; Zuckerberg said.

Why It's Important: Meta posted first-quarter revenue of $42.31 billion, surpassing analyst expectations of $41.39 billion. Earnings came in at $6.43 per share, well ahead of the projected $5.21 per share.
For the second quarter, Meta anticipates revenue between $42.5 billion and $45.5 billion, compared to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro&#8217;s</a> estimate of $44.06 billion.
Earlier this week, Meta also unveiled a <a href="http://v/">standalone AI app</a> designed to compete with leading platforms like OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google's Gemini, and xAI's Grok.
Meta introduced its AI chatbot in 2023 and expanded its capabilities in April by integrating Meta AI search functionality across its suite of apps. In its latest earnings call, the company said, &#8220;Across our apps, there are now almost a billion monthly actives using Meta AI.&#8221;
Price Action: Meta shares are down 8.38% year-to-date in 2025 but remain up 25% over the past 12 months. On Wednesday, the stock dipped 0.98% during regular trading but rebounded 5.36% in after-hours trading, climbing to $578.40, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
In Benzinga Edge's Stock Rankings, Meta holds a growth score of 74.95% and a momentum score of 81.23%. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it compares to its industry peers</a>.

Mark Zuckerberg Doesn't Believe That AI Market Will Follow Search's 'Winner Takes Most' Model — Meta CEO Predicts Multiple Specialized AIs For Work And Play

President Donald Trump renewed his criticism of the Federal Reserve for holding off on interest rate cuts.
What Happened: On Tuesday, Trump once again called out the Federal Reserve for not cutting interest rates in an interview with ABC News, marking the 100th day milestone of his second term in office.
Showing more restraint than in past attacks on Fed Chair Jerome Powell, Trump pointed to his administration's progress on inflation, citing lower grocery, egg, and gasoline prices, before adding that &#8220;interest rates are the same.&#8221;
Trump pointed out that gasoline prices were at $1.98 per gallon in some states, &#8220;It was $3.50 and $4.00 and $4.50. But gasoline is way down,&#8221; he says.
&#8220;Interest rates should be down,&#8221; Trump said, accusing the Federal Reserve of being &#8220;stubborn&#8221; and wanting &#8220;to be cute.&#8221; The remark echoed his 2018 criticism during his first term, when he told Fox &amp; Friends the &#8220;Fed is getting a little too cute,&#8221; as <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-45826869">reported</a> by BBC News.

Why It Matters: Earlier in the day, speaking at a rally in Michigan to commemorate the 100th day of his second term, <a href="https://benzinga.com/news/25/04/45093252/trump-says-he-knows-much-more-than-fed-chair-jerome-powell-about-interest-rates">Trump told supporters</a> he knows more about interest rates than Powell. "You're supposed to let him do his own thing, but I know much more than he does about interest rates, believe me," he said.
Several leading market voices expressed concerns regarding <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/04/44941184/roubini-trump-wants-a-rate-cutbut-powells-restraint-is-the-only-thing-saving-him-from-a-market-meltdown">Trump&#8217;s criticism of Powell</a> and plans for the latter&#8217;s ouster. Economist Nouriel Roubini referred to it as &#8220;a clumsy blame game,&#8221; and a &#8220;repeated own goal,&#8221; since it was unlikely to result in lower rates.
Despite these attacks, Fed Chair Powell hasn&#8217;t <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44943304/feds-jerome-powell-isnt-budging-on-rate-cut-despite-trumps-bashing-and-pressure-heres-why">budged on the rate cuts</a>, citing the current inflation rates at above 2%, which is higher than what the Fed has targeted.
The Fed&#8217;s preferred inflation gauge, the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index, <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/04/45102421/feds-key-inflation-gauge-cools-before-tariffs-hit-auto-outlays-spike-as-consumers-front-run-price-impacts">eased to just 2.3%</a> year-over-year in March, down from February&#8217;s upwardly revised 2.7%.

Trump Slams 'Stubborn' Federal Reserve For Not Cutting Interest Rates—'They Want To Be Cute'

The odds that the U.S. slips into recession in 2025 sailed to a record high Wednesday on Polymarket after first-quarter GDP showed a contraction.
What happened: Odds jumped to <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/us-recession-in-2025">72%</a> in the early hours on the Polygon (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">POL</a>)-based betting platform before dipping to 62% late in the evening.&nbsp;
People buy and sell outcome shares, i.e., "yes" and "no," with those reflecting the correct, final outcome paying out $1 in USD Coin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>) apiece upon market resolution.
In this case, the market will resolve to yes if the U.S. GDP contracts for two straight quarters or if the National Bureau of Economic Research declares a recession before Jan. 1, 2026. Nearly $4 million has already been wagered on the outcome.
Recession odds for 2025 also soared on the CFTC-regulated betting platform Kalshi, reaching an all-time high of 74%.
Note that, unlike Kalshi, Polymarket is not available to U.S. residents.

Meanwhile, the odds that the Federal Reserve will <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/fed-emergency-rate-cut-in-2025?tid=1746068096714">introduce </a>an emergency rate cut remained largely unchanged at 28%, as policymakers signaled no change in monetary policy until inflation nears the central bank&#8217;s 2% goal, according to Reuters.
Emergency meetings happen during periods of economic crisis. The bank held an emergency meeting in March 2020 in reaction to the risk posed by the COVID-19 pandemic to the economy.
Interestingly, traders expected rates to remain unchanged in next week&#8217;s FOMC meeting but priced in a 64% chance of a 25 basis point cut in June, <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">according</a> to the CME FedWatch tool.
Why It Matters: The economy <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/45100047/recession-odds-spike-wall-street-tumbles-as-q1-gdp-surprisingly-contracts-be-patient-trump-responds">shrank by 0.3%</a> on an annualized basis last quarter, down from 2.4% growth in the previous quarter and well below the expected 0.4% growth.&nbsp;
The contraction, the first since the second quarter of 2022, was attributed to the surge in imports as companies sought to avoid President Donald Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/45124752/wall-street-ceos-pull-the-trump-tariff-card-is-macro-fear-the-new-excuse-for-weak-guidance-asks-leading-fund-manager">sweeping tariff measures</a> that could come into effect later this year. Economist Joseph Brusuelas anticipated a recession more likely by midyear.

Recession Odds Reach All-Time High After Negative Q1 GDP Numbers, But Crypto Bettors Don't See Emergency Rate Cut Anytime Soon

Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) reported a marked decline in its cryptocurrency revenue in the first quarter as compressed prices hampered trading activity.
What happened: The commission-free trading platform released its quarterly <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43676276/robinhood-q4-earnings-highlights-record-revenue-eps-beat-analyst-estimates-crypto-revenue-up-700">financials </a>after Wednesday&#8217;s market close and disclosed a cryptocurrency notional trading volume of $252 million, up 100% year-over-year but <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43682382/robinhood-ceo-vlad-tenev-reveals-what-hes-most-excited-about-as-crypto-revenue-skyrockets-8x-stock-surges-15-after-hours">down 30%</a> from the previous record quarter.
The cryptocurrency revenue was over 43% of Robinhood's total transaction-based revenue for the quarter.
The firm also revealed a cryptocurrency notional trading of $46 billion, up 28% from the same quarter last year but down 35% from the fourth quarter of 2024.

During the earnings call, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev said it was normal for trading volumes to fluctuate, but he was pleased that the company&#8217;s market share was intact.
Tenev also talked about diversifying the business away from cryptocurrency. "We're diversifying the business outside of the crypto business, which will make us less reliant on crypto transaction volumes," the CEO said.
Price Action: Shares of Robinhood rose 1.45% in after-hours trading after closing 0.53% lower at $49.11 during Wednesday&#8217;s trading session, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Robinhood's 30% Crypto Revenue Plunge: Vlad Tenev Looking To Diversify, Wants Platform 'Less Reliant' On Transaction Volumes

As "macro uncertainty" and President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariffs become the go-to scapegoats for CEOs this earnings season, fund manager Gary Black isn&#8217;t buying it.
What Happened: On Tuesday, Black posted on X, citing former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel's famous quote, &#8220;Never let a good crisis go to waste,&#8221; as he accused CEOs of using tariffs and economic uncertainty as cover during earnings season to justify either pulling or scaling back their 2025 guidance.
Black finds it all the more absurd that companies that have nothing to do with imported goods are now blaming the &#8220;Trump tariffs&#8221; for their underperformance.

He then highlights companies such as General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>), United Parcel Service Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPS#NYSE">UPS</a>), and Spotify Technology SA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>), all companies that released their earnings on Tuesday, with all three of them citing tariff-related uncertainties to with their guidance for the full year.

While General Motors and United Parcel Service have at least some cover to lay the blame on macroeconomic headwinds, Spotify, a music streaming service, doesn&#8217;t.
Why It Matters: Gary Black, the founder of The Future Fund LLC, has been critical of the tariffs for quite some time, predicting a cut in spending by businesses and consumers <a href="https://benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44758150/gary-black-expects-consumers-and-businesses-to-cut-spending-ahead-of-earnings-season-warns-of-a-lasting-damage-to-the-economy">several weeks ago</a>.

Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) is throwing out big incentives to move cars, but not everyone is impressed. In fact, longtime Tesla investor Ross Gerber is openly mocking the company&#8217;s latest moves.

According to another Tesla investor, Sawyer Merritt, the electric vehicle company is offering its brand-new 2024 Model 3 Performance vehicles for just $41,490, a price that already includes the $7,500 federal EV credit. Buyers also get 10% off, 0% APR financing, and a free transfer of Full Self-Driving capabilities. Deep Blue Metallic and Pearl White paint colors, along with a white interior, are now included at no extra cost.
Merritt highlighted the offer <a href="https://x.com/SawyerMerritt/status/1915962973979320647">on X</a>, calling it &#8220;a lot of value for the money.&#8221; But Gerber had a different reaction, <a href="https://x.com/GerberKawasaki/status/1916165487614169145?t=MYU7mzO-E3ofqSdfEstm8Q&amp;s=03">posting</a>, &#8220;Someone please come buy a Tesla.

Adding to his criticism, Gerber also mocked <a href="https://x.com/TeslaNewswire/status/1916373191745823071">reports</a> of a cheaper Tesla Model Y rumored to launch in July. He sarcastically <a href="https://x.com/GerberKawasaki/status/1916508272770924653">described it as</a> &#8220;Just 4 wheels and you sit on the battery. Amazing innovation!

In a Schwab Network <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcOVZf7FWEg&amp;t=97s">interview</a>, Gerber said Musk&#8217;s public image is hurting Tesla, explaining that consumers &#8220;need to feel good&#8221; about buying a Tesla. Instead, he said people are afraid of the controversy attached to the brand.
&#8220;The woes seem to just keep adding up, and the stock has come back to earth because the Musk positive has been offset now with Musk negative,&#8221; he said.
Gerber also said Musk&#8217;s &#8220;huge bet&#8221; on President Donald Trump has backfired. &#8220;The perception at the time was like this is going to be great for Tesla, but now that he&#8217;s there, it&#8217;s how is this good, and it turns out it&#8217;s not good at all. And now people are burning Teslas,&#8221; he told Schwab Network.
While Gerber still holds Tesla stock, he warns the company needs to meet Wall Street's 2025 earnings expectations to avoid a bigger drop. Otherwise, he says, &#8220;Tesla could go meaningfully lower.&#8221;

'Someone Please Come Buy A Tesla. Anyone...' Says Ross Gerber As He Mocks Tesla's Desperate Incentives

Most people, when their spouse asks for a minivan, grab a Honda or a Chrysler and call it a day. Not Mark Zuckerberg. He grabbed a Porsche — and then redesigned it to fit his wife's wish list.
In October, the Meta CEO shared the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DAzDZ1-RCTB/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link">project on Instagram</a>, kicking off what he called a "new side quest." His caption read:
"New side quest. Priscilla wanted a minivan, so I've been designing something I'm pretty sure should exist: a Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT Minivan. Threw in a manual GT3 Touring to make it his and hers. Thanks @porsche and @westcoastcustoms for helping to make this happen."

</ul>
Not everyone dreams of driving a minivan — and Zuckerberg clearly wasn't about to settle for one either. Instead, he set out to create something practical enough for a growing family but still cool enough to park next to a row of supercars.
Since Porsche doesn't make a minivan, Zuckerberg teamed up with West Coast Customs — the shop made famous by Pimp My Ride — to turn a Cayenne Turbo GT into a one-of-a-kind family hauler. They stretched the wheelbase, added power sliding doors, installed a third row of seats, and gave it the sort of swagger minivans usually don't get.
And because one custom Porsche wasn't enough, Zuckerberg added a second to the garage. He picked up a Porsche 911 GT3 Touring in the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mark-zuckerberg-priscilla-chan-porsche-turbo-gt-cayenne-minivan-2024-10">same Crayon gray color</a>, creating a matching "his-and-hers" set — one for hauling kids, one for hauling… well, everything else.

It's the kind of move that's part practical, part flex — and very on brand for Zuckerberg, who's no stranger to big gestures. Earlier in 2024, he <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C-naZ9NvQNu/">commissioned a marble statue</a> of Chan, a nod to ancient Roman traditions. The Instagram caption read, "Bringing back the Roman tradition of making sculptures of your wife." Apparently, custom Porsches and statues both make the gift list.
Interestingly, Porsche once toyed with the idea of a minivan too — though theirs stayed tucked safely in the concept garage. In 2020, the company <a href="https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/2021/innovation/porsche-interior-future-ux-vision-renndienst-25042.html">unveiled the Vision "Renndienst,"</a> a futuristic, family-friendly space designed to seat up to six people. It was first dreamed up in 2018 and even got a full-size model, but Porsche never moved forward with production. So while Zuckerberg's creation might seem out of left field, he's not the first to wonder what a Porsche minivan could actually look like.
For <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44968787/mark-zuckerbergs-wife-priscilla-chans-tuition-free-school-to-shutdown-50-million-support-pledged-for">Zuckerberg and Chan</a> — who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43506632/mark-zuckerberg-once-told-sam-altman-that-the-most-painful-moment-in-his-life-was-not-rejecting-a-1">met at Harvard</a> and married in 2012 — the matching cars are just another page in their story. They share three daughters: Maxima, August, and Aurelia. While Zuckerberg's usual daily driver is reportedly a Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing, his newly customized Cayenne minivan might be the most famous family car on the internet right now.
And if Porsche ever decides it's time to actually build a minivan, they might want to give Zuckerberg a consulting fee.

Mark Zuckerberg Says His Wife Wanted a Minivan — So He Designed a Porsche He's 'Pretty Sure Should Exist' And Made It a His-and-Hers Set

Before Amazon changed how the world shops, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43732107/they-wouldnt-let-me-anywhere-near-customers-jeff-bezos-cracked-300-eggs-a-shift-working-at-mcdonalds-during-his-acned-teenager-stage">Jeff Bezos had a very different morning routine</a> — and it didn't involve green juice or high-protein smoothies.
Speaking at <a href="https://youtu.be/Hq89wYzOjfs?si=e1h4kc-6mEY6Y-Td">Summit 2017 in Los Angeles</a>, Bezos recalled the years before Amazon's launch when he would routinely eat an entire can of Pillsbury biscuits for breakfast, sometimes adding butter on top.
"I had never read a nutrition label in my life," Bezos admitted during the interview, sitting alongside his brother, Mark Bezos. "I ate what tasted good to me."

</ul>
At the time of the interview, Bezos was already in great shape — but he was reflecting back on the early 1990s, before Amazon was even an idea. For a few years, he stuck to the same breakfast ritual without ever thinking twice.
Then came MacKenzie Scott.
After they married, she watched him go through the same routine every morning for about three months. One day, she finally said, "Do you know what's in that?"
They ended up reading the ingredients together and had a long discussion about it. After that conversation, Bezos stopped eating the biscuits. Mark joked during the interview that he was just glad Jeff survived it.
Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $250 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>
At the time, nutrition wasn't exactly top of mind. Bezos's focus was speed, efficiency, and saving brainpower for bigger challenges — the same no-frills mentality that would soon drive Amazon's early, relentless expansion.
As Amazon scaled up, so did Bezos's appetite for the unfamiliar — literally and figuratively.
In a story reported by <a href="https://www.geekwire.com/2014/jeff-bezos-octopus-breakfast/">GeekWire</a>, detailing an excerpt from <a href="https://www.dmagazine.com/publications/d-magazine/2014/july/matt-rutledge-woot-has-a-new-deal-mediocre-corporation/">D Magazine's profile of Matt Rutledge</a>, Bezos met with Woot founder Rutledge for breakfast after Amazon acquired Woot for $110 million in 2010. When it came time to order, Bezos chose Mediterranean octopus.
When Rutledge asked why Amazon had bought Woot, Bezos reportedly answered:
"You're the octopus that I'm having for breakfast. When I look at the menu, you're the thing I don't understand, the thing I've never had. I must have the breakfast octopus."
The comment wasn't just colorful — it revealed Bezos's philosophy about business: seek out what you don't yet understand, embrace what others might find odd, and invest where others hesitate.
See Also: Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-intel">invest pre-IPO from $0.60 per share now</a>.
That same thinking helped Amazon move beyond books and into everything from cloud computing to groceries, creating a company that would eventually touch almost every corner of modern life.
Bezos's willingness to explore unfamiliar territory, take calculated risks, and bet long-term helped him become the richest man in the world for several years. Today, he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44857928/jeff-bezos-sells-seattle-mansion-for-record-63-million-after-move-to-floridas-billionaire-bunker">remains one of the wealthiest and most influential figures</a> in business.
His personal life reflects that same evolution.
Gone are the biscuit breakfasts. In his 60s, Bezos works out nearly every day with celebrity trainer Wes Okerson, focusing on strength training, low-impact cardio, and outdoor sports like paddleboarding. His body fat percentage is reportedly around 12% to 14%, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/03/44550460/jeff-bezos-italian-wedding-guest-list-and-plans-kim-kardashian-donald-trump-bill-gates-oprah-winfrey-get-reported-invites">his fiancée, Lauren Sanchez</a>, often jokes that he's a "monster" in the gym.
From biscuits to breakfast octopus to barbells, Bezos's journey shows that transformation — in life and in business — often starts by paying attention to what you once ignored.

Billionaire Jeff Bezos Ate a Can of Pillsbury Biscuits Every Morning Until His Wife Stepped In — 'I Had Never Read a Nutrition Label in My Life'

President Donald Trump deflects blame for the U.S. economy's 0.3% contraction in the first quarter onto his predecessor, despite clear evidence indicating otherwise.
What Happened: On Wednesday, Trump posted on Truth Social, blaming former President Joe Biden for the country&#8217;s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) contracting by 0.3% during the first quarter. This marks the first GDP contraction for the country in three years.
Trump, who assumed office on Jan. 20, 2025, claimed in the post that &#8220;This is Biden's stock market, not Trump's,&#8221; and insisted the contraction &#8220;has nothing to do with the tariffs.&#8221;
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="602" height="295" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/30223919/Screenshot-2025-05-01-at-11.38.55.png" alt="" class="wp-image-896078" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/30223919/Screenshot-2025-05-01-at-11.38.55.png 602w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/30223919/Screenshot-2025-05-01-at-11.38.55-300x147.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px" /></figure>

He further predicts a boom once tariffs take effect, saying they would drive companies to relocate to the U.S. in record numbers, but argued the economy must first shake off the Biden-era &#8220;overhang.&#8221;
That claim, however, contradicts <a href="https://www.bea.gov/sites/default/files/2025-04/hist1q25-adv.pdf">data</a> from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, which attributes the first-quarter GDP decline largely to a 41.3% surge in imports. This occurred even as consumer spending slowed to 1.8% growth, down from 4% in the fourth quarter of 2024.
This clearly points towards a pre-tariff import surge, with Robin Brooks of the Brookings Institution saying that the ballooning imports and swelling inventories <a href="https://benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/45100047/recession-odds-spike-wall-street-tumbles-as-q1-gdp-surprisingly-contracts-be-patient-trump-responds">reflect a widespread effort</a> to front-run the tariffs.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) seeing massive stockpiling ahead of the tariffs. 
Others, such as investor Mark Cuban, have repeatedly <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/03/44271394/goldman-sees-copper-imports-frontrunning-tariffs-as-fcx-positions-to-benefit">urged Americans to stock up</a> on essentials, warning that even the prices of American-made goods will soon begin to rise.

Trump Blames GDP Contraction On Biden 'Overhang': 'Nothing To Do With The Tariffs'

On Wednesday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest executed significant trades involving Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>), Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), and Shopify Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NASDAQ">SHOP</a>). 
The Palantir Trade
Ark Invest made a notable move by selling shares of Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) across ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#BATS">ARKW</a>) and ARK Space Exploration &amp; Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKX#BATS">ARKX</a>). The sale involved 19,005 shares in ARKW and 3,375 shares in ARKX. With Palantir&#8217;s stock closing at $118.44, the total value of the shares sold amounted to approximately $2.65 million. Palantir has been in the spotlight due to its recent defense contracts and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/45113101/palantir-stock-is-up-55-ytd-heading-into-earnings-next-week-whats-going-on">upcoming earnings report</a> on May 5. The company has been actively involved in the TITAN program, delivering systems to the U.S. Army, which has contributed to its stock&#8217;s 55% year-to-date increase. 
The AMD Trade
Ark Invest also increased its stake in Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) through ARK Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#BATS">ARKK</a>) and ARKW. The firm purchased 106,769 shares in ARKK and 12,349 shares in ARKW, totaling a value of approximately $11.56 million, with AMD&#8217;s stock closing at $97.35. This move comes amid industry discussions about Huawei&#8217;s development of an AI chip, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/45052912/whats-going-on-with-advanced-micro-devices-stock-monday">potentially challenging competitors</a>. Despite this, AMD continues to be a key player in the semiconductor industry. Notably, Ark has made AMD purchases <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/04/45089384/cathie-wood-bets-against-mark-zuckerbergs-meta-ahead-of-crucial-earnings-report-loads-up-on-this-amazon-rival">throughout this week</a> so far. The company loaded up on $3.79 million worth of shares on Monday and another $747,923 worth on Tuesday.
The Shopify Trade
Ark Invest&#8217;s purchase of 12,632 shares of Shopify Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NASDAQ">SHOP</a>) through its ARKW ETF reflects a strategic investment in the e-commerce sector. With SHOP&#8217;s stock closing at $95.00, the transaction was valued at approximately $1.2 million. Shopify faces new challenges due to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44640798/trump-ends-de-minimis-exemptions-shopify-bigcommerce-and-lightspeed-face-new-headwinds">changes in trade policies</a>, impacting e-commerce platforms. Despite these headwinds, Shopify remains a significant player in the digital commerce landscape.

Analyst Notes: Blockchain analytics firm CryptoQuant highlighted the new all-time high in Bitcoin's realized capitalization, at over $880 billion.
"Historically, large accumulations of realized capitalization have been mostly followed by considerable price increases in Bitcoin," CryptoQuant stated. It added that the price could see an "explosion" if the accumulations continue.
Realized capitalization measures the total acquisition cost of all coins in circulation, as opposed to the market capitalization, which uses the current price.

Cryptocurrency analyst and trader Ali Martinez identified $95,870 as a significant level for Bitcoin, with a breach potentially sparking a run to new all-time highs.
"If Bitcoin breaks and holds above $95,870, the next key target, based on the MVRV Pricing Bands, is $114,230," Martinez projected.
MVRV, a shorthand for Market Value to Realized Value, is a ratio used to assess the value of a cryptocurrency by comparing its current market value to its realized value.

Bitcoin, Ethereum Muted, Dogecoin Dips After Q1 GDP Contraction: Analyst Foresees BTC's Rally To $114,000 If It Breaks This Ceiling

Tesla Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) board reportedly began searching for a successor to Elon Musk after the company faced significant financial setbacks.&nbsp;
What Happened: About a month ago, the board reached out to executive search firms to formalize a process for selecting a new CEO, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/autos/tesla-musk-ceo-search-board-0ce61af9?mod=e2tw">reported</a> the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the discussion.
Musk, who has led Tesla for nearly two decades, was reportedly spending considerable time in Washington, D.C., assisting with the Department of Government Efficiency under President Donald Trump.
Musk did not push back, the report said, and the board told him he needed to devote more time to Tesla and publicly commit to doing so.
Tesla did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga's</a> request for comments.

Why It&#8217;s Important: Tesla reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44937440/tesla-q1-misses-estimates-as-tariff-pressures-weigh-on-outlook-lower-cost-evs-still-on-track">first-quarter revenue</a> of $19.34 billion, marking a 9% decline compared to the previous year. This figure fell short of the Street&#8217;s consensus estimate of $21.35 billion.
During the earnings call, <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">Musk announced</a>, "Starting probably next month, in May, my time allocation to DOGE will drop significantly."
On Wednesday, Alexandra Merz, who is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37474203/elon-musk-thanks-tesla-shareholders-after-they-write-to-delaware-court-against-voiding-his-56b-pay-p">one of Tesla&#8217;s shareholders</a>, took to X, formerly Twitter, and said, Tesla filed an amendment to its annual 10-K, providing details about board and executive compensation, rather than the anticipated proxy statement with shareholder meeting dates and agendas.
This suggests a potential delay in the meeting.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
In the filing, Tesla stated, &#8220;The Board of Directors has not yet established the date of the 2025 annual meeting of shareholders. When the date is established, the Company will announce it in its filings made with the SEC.&#8221;
Price Action: During Wednesday's regular session, Tesla shares fell by 3.38%, but showed a slight rebound in after-hours trading, rising by 0.13%. Year-to-date, the stock is still down 25.61%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
As per Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, Tesla currently holds a growth score of 45.33%. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it stacks up against other companies</a> in the sector.

Tesla Board Explored Replacing Elon Musk As Tesla CEO A Month Ago: Report

Following a U.S. court ruling that found Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) violated the spirit of an injunction against <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/08/40423388/epic-games-mobile-store-goes-live-in-europe-ceo-says-apple-had-to-be-challenged">anti-steering practices</a>, Epic Games, backed by Tencent Holdings (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCEHY#OTC">TCEHY</a>), has offered to bring Fortnite back to the App Store if the tech giant fulfills this one condition.
What Happened: On Wednesday, Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ordered Apple to cease collecting commissions on purchases made outside its App Store and to stop blocking developers from linking to alternative payment methods, <a href="https://appleinsider.com/articles/25/05/01/fortnite-could-return-to-apple-app-store-if-apple-accepts-epic-peace-proposal">reported</a> AppleInsider.
Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney extended a striking offer to Apple via X after the court decision.

&#8220;If Apple extends the court&#8217;s friction-free, Apple-tax-free framework worldwide, we&#8217;ll return Fortnite to the App Store worldwide and drop current and future litigation on the topic,&#8221; he stated.

Why It's Important: To meet Epic's conditions, Apple would need to stop earning revenue from any purchases made outside the App Store worldwide and lift its restrictions on external payment links, the report said.
Doing so could lead to a noticeable reduction in Apple's lucrative commission income. Fortnite would be free to download, and Apple would receive no revenue from it beyond the standard $100 annual developer fee.
On Thursday, Apple could post <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45117801/apple-q2-earnings-preview-analysts-remain-bullish-with-caution-of-tariff-tornado-hitting-iphone">stronger-than-expected results</a> for its iPhone business and performance in China when it releases its second-quarter earnings. Wall Street expects the tech giant to report $94.42 billion in revenue for the quarter, up from $90.75 billion during the same period last year.
Price Action: Apple shares have fallen 12.86% year-to-date in 2025 but are still up 24.76% over the past 12 months. On Wednesday, the stock rose 0.61% during regular trading but slipped 1.65% after hours, closing at $209, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
In Benzinga Edge's Stock Rankings, Apple earns a growth score of 44.64% and a momentum score of 74.99%. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it compares to other top tech stocks</a>.
