Founded in 2012, Grab provides ride-sharing services, food and grocery delivery, and financial services (payments, consumer loans, and enterprise offerings) in eight Southeast-Asian countries through its mobile platform. The company partners with merchants and riders, connecting them with consumers while charging commission to both sides. Grab has a leading market share in and derives 89% of its revenue from its core businesses, ride-sharing and food delivery. Singapore and Malaysia contributed 58% of revenue as of end-2021. Grab's main competitors in Southeast Asia are Foodpanda and Gojek, the ride-sharing arm of GoTo. Its financial services business is still in its nascent stage and provides minimal revenue currently. The company now also generates advertising revenue.

As institutional interest in Bitcoin mining continues to surge, GoMining stands out with its deep-rooted ecosystem, robust infrastructure, and innovative approach to bridging the retail-institutional divide. At the forefront of this evolution is Jeremy Dreier, Managing Director of GoMining Institutional and Chief Business Development Officer (CBDO) at GoMining.
With over 3.5 million users and 350+ megawatts of mining power under management, GoMining has steadily grown into a powerhouse in the crypto mining space. Now, with the launch of a $100 million Bitcoin mining fund tailored for institutional investors, the company is making headlines again—this time with an eye on strategic capital deployment, efficiency, and scale.
In this exclusive conversation with Benzinga, Jeremy Dreier—whose career spans technology, capital markets, and blockchain—unpacks GoMining's institutional strategy, the dynamics behind their mining innovation Miner Wars, and what the future holds for Bitcoin mining in the U.S. and globally. Excerpt from the interaction.
What's the goal of GoMining's new $100M Bitcoin mining fund, and how's the response so far?
GoMining Institutional created the Alpha Blocks Fund to give institutions the simplest possible path to genuine, yield-generating Bitcoin exposure. Instead of buying equity in a public miner or a passive spot ETF, allocators get pro-rata ownership of live hashrate that we actively compound: every satoshi the fleet earns is redeployed into newer, more efficient data centers, so the underlying BTC stream grows block after block.&nbsp;
The vehicle is fully custodied by BitGo and is powered by the infrastructure with a total hashrate of 7.8+ million TH/s. Since our April launch, we've secured early soft commitments from institutional investors and are now preparing to onboard initial LPs. Capital deployment into next-generation data centers is set to begin shortly, laying the groundwork for stable, yield-generating performance from day one.
How is institutional capital changing the dynamics of Bitcoin mining?
A decade ago, mining rigs were whirring away in basements; today, the same activity sits on Fortune 500 balance sheets and is discussed on quarterly earnings calls. Bitcoin ETFs pried the door open, but once inside, allocators realised the real engine of value was the machinery behind the ticker, not just the ticker itself.
Those allocators arrive with infrastructure-sized expectations, they want yield that compounds, transparency they can audit, and governance frameworks their boards already understand. That has forced miners to professionalise everything from custody to ESG reporting while exposing the limits of the "grow-at-all-costs" playbook that plagued early public miners whose quick scale often came with dilution, leverage, and energy-price whiplash. As a result, many institutions now bypass listed equities and instead back managed funds or white-label strategies that deliver block-reward economics without the operational drag.<a href="https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1gKVhbZ92aFX5A8KFb-Y0RmvyA14sgJAn/htmlpresent">&nbsp;</a>
The influx of deep pockets is also financialising the hashrate itself. What began with equity stakes has expanded into ASIC-backed debt, hashprice options, structured notes linked to network difficulty, and LP funds that treat hashrate as a yield-bearing commodity. That toolkit lets investors tune exposure to Bitcoin issuance, transaction-fee upside, or even grid-balancing revenues, and it's breaking the old one-to-one correlation between mining fortunes and spot BTC.&nbsp;
It's no coincidence that the U.S.-based pools now command more than 40 percent of global hashrate, and trade volumes are emerging for hashrate futures on major venues – the capital is demanding instruments that look and settle like any other real-asset derivative.
3. What shifts have you seen in institutional attitudes toward Bitcoin over the last two years? Institutions are looking for infrastructure-related strategies because they want the economics of blockchain rewards, not just price exposure in the form of BTC on the balance sheet. They also want custody, governance, and transparency – features that are in line with what they expect from traditional investments in real assets or credit.
In 2023, most CIOs still asked whether Bitcoin would be regulated out of existence. The launch of U.S. spot ETFs, the MiCA framework in Europe, and political tailwinds in Washington changed that conversation from "if" to "how much." A Coinbase-EY survey in January found 76% of institutions plan to increase allocations in 2025, with nearly 60% targeting more than 5% of AUM. The Bitwise/VettaFi adviser poll shows crypto allocations in client accounts doubling year-on-year to an all-time high.
 4. How does GoMining Institutional's white-label model work for allocators?
Think of it as "mining-as-a-service." An allocator can brand a feeder vehicle, set its own fee stack, and rely on our global hashrate power of 7.8+ million TH/s, compliance, treasury, and reporting. All this comes with 99% continuous uptime, which is a really high benchmark for a fine-tuned data center operation. We handle power procurement, equipment refresh, SOC-2 reporting, and annual audits; they handle distribution to their LPs. Because we already run 350 MW across four continents, adding another 10 MW for a partner is accretive to everyone's power curve. The result is turnkey exposure to clean, provably sourced Bitcoin that fits neatly into an alternative sleeve.
 5. How does Miner Wars blend gaming with real BTC mining, and why does that matter
Miner Wars is not "play-to-earn": it's "play-the-hashrate." Every NFT inside the game represents actual terahash running in our data centers. When clans solve in-game "blocks," they're competing for a prize pool funded by the real BTC those rigs earn. We now have an average of 71,222+ monthly players within Miner Wars and have paid out over 200 BTC since launch. That matters because it onboards a demographic that would never buy a miner or read an ASIC spec sheet, yet it still drives utilization for the underlying equipment. In other words, the game is a distribution funnel that keeps the hardware sweating 24/7.
6. What's the current state of Bitcoin mining in the U.S. and globally post-halving?
The halving cut rewards to 3.125 BTC per block, so inefficient fleets were brutalized, but the winners are thriving. Hash-rate hit new highs as modern rigs at 14 J/TH came online, and public miners produced nearly $800 million worth of BTC in Q1 2025 alone. Many U.S. operators are stockpiling coins instead of paying selling, betting on price appreciation and the emerging federal Strategic Bitcoin Reserve policy.&nbsp;
Globally, we see expansion into Paraguay and Oman, where stranded renewables and flare gas keep opex below $0.05/kWh.&nbsp;
The key metric of this cycle isn't sheer hashrate, but energy efficiency per delivered terahash, and the spread between top-quintile and bottom-quintile operations is the widest I've ever seen. Bitdeer's February report nails how equipment cost per TH has fallen to $16 even as power prices diverge.
7. What trends will shape the future of institutional Bitcoin mining — tech, energy, or something else?
All of the above, but the connective tissue is flexibility. On the technology front, 3-nanometer ASICs will arrive alongside immersion and hydro-cooling systems that push efficiency below 16 J/TH, enabling high-density data centers that can moonlight as AI inference farms during fee lulls.&nbsp;
On the energy side, flare-gas mitigation and behind-the-meter renewables give miners a seat at climate strategy tables; oil majors are already piloting modular gensets that turn 148 billion cubic meters of wasted gas into low-cost electricity, and allocators love the methane-abatement angle. But the fact still stands: even with new sources, the main factor in the energy market is the cost of energy itself.&nbsp;&nbsp; Finally, capital markets themselves are evolving: as more governments stockpile mined coins, miners become quasi-sovereign infrastructure providers, opening doors to green bonds and export-credit insurance that didn't exist a year ago. The winners will be operators who can toggle between Bitcoin blocks, AI jobs, and grid-balancing services without shutting down a single container.&nbsp;

'Miner Wars Is Not Play-To-Earn, It's Play-The-Hashrate,' Says GoMining's Jeremy Dreier

If you&#8217;re feeling unsure about the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/housing-market">housing market right now</a>, you&#8217;re not alone. Between high prices, rising interest rates, and economic uncertainty, many people are wondering whether now is the right time to buy a home. And while some are holding off, plenty of prospective buyers are using this time to prepare — saving more, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-pay-off-debt">paying down debt</a>, and watching the market closely.
A new <a href="https://newsroom.bankofamerica.com/content/newsroom/press-releases/2025/05/bofa-report--60--of-homeowners-and-prospective-buyers-uncertain-.html">report</a> from Bank of America confirms this mixed sentiment. The 2025 Homebuyer Insights Report found that 60% of current homeowners and prospective buyers say they're not sure if it's a good time to buy — the highest level of uncertainty in three years. That's up from 48% in 2023. Despite this, more than half (52%) of potential buyers feel the market has improved since last year, and 75% say they're waiting for prices and interest rates to come down before making a move.
In the meantime, many are taking practical steps. Over half of those delaying a purchase are continuing to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/20/10/18035279/how-to-save-for-a-down-payment">save for a down payment</a>. Others are using the time to pay off debt or invest their money while they wait.
Younger generations, particularly Gen Z and Millennials, are finding creative ways to move closer to homeownership. In 2025, 30% of Gen Z homeowners said they took on an extra job to afford their down payment, and 22% bought their home with a sibling — a notable increase from previous years. Family support is also playing a bigger role, with more young buyers planning to rely on loans from relatives.
Another factor on buyers' minds? Severe weather. The report found that 62% of homeowners and prospective buyers are concerned about natural disasters, and many are adjusting their home search to avoid high-risk areas.
Overall, the housing market remains uncertain — but many buyers are staying optimistic and taking steps to be ready when the time feels right.

75% Of Homebuyers Are Waiting For Lower Rates, Report Finds

REX Financial and Osprey Funds&#8217; plans to launch US crypto ETFs offering staking rewards have encountered regulatory challenges, even after an initial nod from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
What Happened: The proposed ETFs, designed to track Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) and Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>), are facing scrutiny from US regulators. 
The regulators are questioning if these ETFs fulfill the legal criteria of ETFs under federal securities law. The&nbsp;SEC expressed its concerns in a letter to ETF Opportunities Trust, the legal entity issuing the ETFs, on Friday.
The SEC pointed out potential problems with the funds&#8217; registration statement and suggested that the ETFs&#8217; status as investment companies could be misleading.&nbsp;Greg Collett, general counsel at&nbsp;REX Financial, responded, &#8220;We&nbsp;think we can satisfy the&nbsp;SEC on the investment company&nbsp;question, and we don&#8217;t&nbsp;intend to launch the funds&nbsp;until we do that.&#8221;
SEC Commissioner&nbsp;Caroline Crenshaw&nbsp;criticized the agency&#8217;s inconsistent approach to crypto regulation. She raised questions about how crypto assets could be considered non-securities for registration purposes, but be classified as securities when launching a new product, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-05-31/us-regulators-say-two-crypto-vehicles-may-not-qualify-as-etfs?srnd=homepage-americas&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">reports </a>Bloomberg.

This incident marks&nbsp;the second time in recent&nbsp;months that the SEC has&nbsp;publicly questioned&nbsp;a listed fund investing in&nbsp;alternative asset classes. Despite the regulatory uncertainty, REX Financial remains hopeful about launching the ETFs by mid-June.
Why It Matters: The SEC&#8217;s scrutiny of these proposed crypto ETFs underscores the regulatory challenges facing the crypto industry. 
The inconsistent approach to crypto regulation, as highlighted by Commissioner Crenshaw, further complicates the situation. 
The outcome of this regulatory review could have significant implications for the future of crypto ETFs in the US, potentially influencing the pace and direction of innovation in this emerging asset class. 
Despite these challenges, the optimism shown by REX Financial indicates the industry&#8217;s resilience and its commitment to navigating the complex regulatory landscape.

SEC Raises Red Flags Over Crypto ETFs Offering Staking Rewards

Artificial intelligence is moving fast, and according to researchers from Anthropic, an AI startup backed by Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) founder Jeff Bezos, it's about to upend white collar work around the world.&nbsp;
In a recent discussion on Dwarkesh Patel&#8217;s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64lXQP6cs5M">podcast</a>, Anthropic researchers Sholto Douglas and Trenton Bricken explored what they see as an almost inevitable future: widespread automation of desk jobs.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Prepare For A World Where AI Replaces Office Work</h2>
Douglas said the transition may happen sooner than many expect. &#8220;There is this whole spectrum of crazy futures. But the one that I feel we&#8217;re almost guaranteed to get—this is a strong statement to make—is one where, at the very least, you get a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/42166517/six-figure-job-market-faces-white-collar-recession-as-linkedin-reports-26-drop-in-engineering-roles">drop in white collar workers</a> at some point in the next five years,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I think it&#8217;s very likely in two, but it seems almost overdetermined in five.&#8221;
Bricken agreed, saying, &#8220;We should expect to see them automated within the next five years.&#8221; That kind of shift, Douglas added, &#8220;completely changes the world over the next decade.&#8221;
Even if progress in training algorithms slows down, the models that already exist are good enough to perform many white collar tasks, especially if they&#8217;re fed the right data. &#8220;Even if algorithmic progress stalls out, and we just never figure out how to keep progress going&#8230; the current suite of algorithms are sufficient to automate white collar work, provided you have enough of the right kinds of data,&#8221; Douglas said.
Trending: Invest where it hurts — and help millions heal:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/a-cure-for-osteoarthritis-powered-by-everyday-investors-cytonics-is-looking-to-beat-big-pharma-and-disrupt-a-390-billion-market"> Invest in Cytonics and help disrupt a $390B Big Pharma stronghold</a>.
They argued that it&#8217;s financially justifiable to automate office tasks, even if it means you need to &#8220;hand spoon&#8221; every single task to the model. The economic impact of automating or drastically reducing white collar jobs, they said, could be massive. And countries that don't prepare could be left behind.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Nations Need To Start Planning Now</h2>
Douglas summed it up this way: &#8220;Plan for the case where white collar work is automatable. And then consider, what does that mean for your economy? What should you be doing to prepare policy?&#8221;
Douglas warned that countries without highly advanced, large-scale AI models, also called &#8220;frontier models&#8221;—such as India, Nigeria or Australia—will have tough decisions to make. He advised governments to start <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45599854/oracle-to-spend-40-billion-on-nvidia-gb200-chips-for-openais-texas-data-center-report">investing in compute infrastructure</a>, AI companies, and the broader tech ecosystem. &#8220;Compute becomes the most valuable resource in the world,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The GDP of your economy is dramatically affected by how much compute you can deploy.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Automation May Hit Desk Jobs First, Not Physical Labor</h2>
While robots still struggle with physical tasks like opening doors, AI is already capable of coding and performing many computer-based jobs. That could result in a strange future where machines do the thinking and humans handle the physical labor.
&#8220;The really scary future is one in which AIs can do everything except for the physical robotic tasks,&#8221; Bricken said. &#8220;In which case, you&#8217;ll have humans with AirPods, and glasses and there&#8217;ll be some robot overlord controlling the human through cameras by just telling it what to do.&#8221;
Douglas pointed out that this transitional phase could be a &#8220;pretty terrible decade.&#8221; If jobs are lost but scientific breakthroughs and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/03/44508019/tesla-and-other-us-robotics-giants-demand-federal-strategy-to-compete-with-chinas-138-billion-push-warn-america-will-lose-the-race-without-it">robotic deployment lag behind</a>, then improvements in daily life may stall. He said the result could be a period where people's main value is their ability to do physical tasks that AI cannot yet handle. People&#8217;s main comparative advantage in that case would be as &#8220;fantastic robots.&#8221; &#8220;That's a shocking, shocking world,&#8221; he said.

Consumer Tech News (May 26-May 30): Germany May Impose 10% Online Platform Tax, Tesla's European Sales Slump & More

Former Alphabet Inc. CEO Eric Schmidt told an audience at Miami Beach's Faena Forum that worries about employee push-back on artificial-intelligence roll-outs are overblown because AI will &#8220;solve the problems that humans ask for.&#8221;
What Happened: Schmidt was responding to a Ph.D. researcher who mentioned that 75% of digital-transformation projects stall when workers resist new tools. Schmidt argued that today's high failure rate for corporate tech projects reflects buggy "poor-quality" software and not human resistance.
He predicted that the next wave of generative AI systems, trained on hard business goals such as customer satisfaction and profits, will fix that.

He urged the questioner to test the hypothesis in his dissertation: "Can you imagine a situation where the software works right?" If AI models are tuned to clear, quantifiable objectives, Schmidt said, businesses will finally get tech that does precisely what it promises.
McKinsey, BCG and Forbes studies put the share of digital initiatives that miss their goals at roughly 80%. Employee acceptance is the Achilles' heel. One 2024 survey by RiseNow found 75–95% fail because staff won't use the new tools.
Why It Matters: Schmidt's Miami remarks expand on his more recent <a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/eric_schmidt_the_ai_revolution_is_underhyped?language=en">warning</a> at TED 2025 that workers who ignore AI "won't be relevant" and his estimate that agentic AI could lift productivity by 30% a year — a surge he explains "economists have no models for."
He also cautioned that AI will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45604065/former-google-boss-eric-schmidt-says-ai-will-only-exacerbate-the-blurred-lines-between-online-perception-and-reality">deepen confusion</a> between online and offline realities, echoing comments he made in the same Faena Forum session about blurred perception.
As far as predictions go, the former Google boss has a knack for getting his tech predictions for the near future right. Schmidt, in 2016, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45379222/former-google-ceo-eric-schmidt-in-2016-outlined-a-playbook-predicting-chatgpts-rise-and-a-new-age-of-100-billion-ai-giants">rightly predicted the playbook</a> for a company like OpenAI to rise to the fore soon. Before that, he&#8217;d similarly predicted the rise of service-based apps like Uber.
It is worth mentioning that Alphabet has earned a growth score of 88.56% according to&nbsp;Benzinga Edge Stock&nbsp;Rankings.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Click here to compare it with other companies</a>.

Eric Schmidt Says AI Won't Face Roadblocks Most New Tech Encounter, Ex-Google CEO Explains Why

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) has experienced a turbulent year, with its stock value decreasing by 20% since the start of the year. Despite this, some market experts are suggesting that this could be an ideal chance for long-term investors to purchase shares at a lower price.
What Happened: Apple&#8217;s stock performance has been the poorest among the Magnificent Seven stocks in 2025. The tech behemoth&#8217;s downturn is linked to external factors such as the ongoing trade war and tariff uncertainties.
Senior equity strategist at CFRA Research, Angelo Zino, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-stock-price-outlook-aapl-mag-7-buy-the-dip-2025-5">told</a> Insider that Apple&#8217;s extensive manufacturing presence in China makes it susceptible to tariff-related impacts. However, he perceives the stock&#8217;s drop as a potential investment opportunity, considering the company&#8217;s robust pricing and brand reputation.
James Demmert, Chief Investment Officer at Main Street Research, shares this view, stating,&nbsp;&#8220;We think all of the&nbsp;bad news is in the&nbsp;current price of shares.&#8221;

Despite the persisting trade war and regulatory challenges in China, both Goldman Sachs and UBS have shown confidence in Apple&#8217;s future. Goldman Sachs continues to hold&nbsp;a &#8220;buy&#8221; rating for the&nbsp;stock with&nbsp;a 12-month price target of&nbsp;$253, while UBS maintains a &#8220;neutral&#8221; rating and a $210 price target.
However, not all analysts are as optimistic. James Cakmak, Chief Investment Officer at Clockwise Capital, disclosed that the firm has withdrawn&nbsp;its position in Apple stock, citing tariff risks as the primary reason.
Why It Matters: The fluctuating performance of Apple&#8217;s stock and the differing opinions of market experts highlight the dynamic nature of the stock market. 
While some see the dip as a potential investment opportunity, others are more cautious due to external factors such as tariff risks. 
This situation underscores the importance of careful analysis and strategic decision-making for investors in the ever-changing market landscape.

Apple Stock Lags Behind Peers — Here's What Wall Street Says About the Dip

It's not every day someone casually accuses a former Speaker of the House of defying both math and mortality — but then again, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45516211/grant-cardones-two-most-hated-on-opinions-most-people-should-not-go-to-college-and-a-house-is-a-terrible-investment">Grant Cardone isn't known for pulling punches</a>.
In an <a href="https://youtu.be/-N5ivvV2_Cc?si=rfI64j7wJVC4NikL">interview last year with DJ Vlad</a>, Cardone took aim at Nancy Pelosi's reported wealth, questioning how a public servant making $179,000 a year could be worth $120 million. "You can't do the math on it," he said flatly. "She would have to be 33,000 years old or something." After revising, he settled on a more "reasonable" estimate: "She would have to be on Earth 3,300 years," he said, in order to turn her salary into the fortune she's reported to have.

</ul>
Cardone didn't stop there. Factoring in taxes and cost of living, he added, "She's probably paying 50% in taxes… So she's making $89,000 a year, bro. She's worth $120 million minimum. She would have to be 1,500 years old if she never spent one penny."
The math may have been delivered with a smirk, but the underlying message wasn't a joke: "If you make $179,000 a year, you will never be a millionaire — much less worth $120 million." He went on to call out both parties for profiting off insider knowledge, saying, "There's a whole bunch of them… Republicans and Democrats."
His proposed solution? Cut Congressional salaries to the median American wage and ban trading altogether: "If you're in Congress or Senate… you cannot insider trade. Period. In fact, you cannot trade at all."

At the time of the interview, Pelosi's net worth was estimated around $120 million — but today, it's significantly higher. As of early 2025, Pelosi's net worth is estimated to be between $246.8 million and $259 million, <a href="https://www.quiverquant.com/congresstrading/politician/Nancy%20Pelosi-P000197/net-worth">according to Quiver Quantitative</a>. That's more than double what Cardone was reacting to just a year ago.
Much of the wealth is tied to savvy and controversial investments in tech stocks and real estate, largely managed by her husband, Paul Pelosi. While there's no direct evidence of insider trading, public skepticism has remained high — and the numbers haven't exactly helped.
Cardone may have been using hyperbole when he joked that Pelosi would need to be 3,300 years old to earn her wealth. But if the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">trajectory of her portfolio</a> is any indication, she's aging just fine — and so is her net worth.

This shift mimics how large language models are trained and signals a move toward AIs that better understand the physical world.
Huang praised Tesla&#8217;s use of end-to-end generative AI in its Full Self-Driving system. &#8220;It learns from watching video, surround video, and it learns about how to drive end-to-end,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It's really revolutionary.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Massive Computing Demands Ahead</h2>
Video-based AI requires enormous data and processing power, and Huang made clear that Nvidia is ready. &#8220;The best way to teach these AIs how the physical world behaves is through video—just watching tons and tons and tons of videos,&#8221; he said.
Beyond Tesla, Huang cited growing interest from other automakers and industries. He said biotech companies are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45602697/abu-dhabi-backed-g42-and-igenius-team-up-to-build-europes-most-powerful-ai-supercomputer-using-nvidia-chips-in-italy">building AI supercomputers</a> to generate molecules for drug discovery, and that even cloud providers are being outpaced by new sectors jumping into generative AI.
&#8220;We now have a software and AI model that can understand and learn almost any language—the language of English, of images, of video, of chemicals, of protein, even physics,&#8221; Huang said. &#8220;And to be able to generate almost anything.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Skepticism Around Tesla's Robotaxi Plans</h2>
While Huang praised Tesla's approach, not everyone in the financial world is fully on board with its near-term autonomous driving ambitions. Future Fund LLC Managing Director Gary Black recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45582499/gary-black-slams-teslas-unsupervised-autonomous-driving-ahead-of-austin-robotaxi-launch-i-have-warned">voiced concern</a> about investor expectations tied to Tesla's Robotaxi rollout.
&#8220;I have warned $TSLA investors numerous times not to get too far ahead of themselves on unsupervised autonomy, including again yesterday,&#8221; Black <a href="https://x.com/garyblack00/status/1925509531397677313">wrote on X</a> on May 22.
He expects the term &#8220;supervised autonomy&#8221; to become more common as Tesla moves closer to launching its ride-hailing Robotaxi service in Austin, Texas. &#8220;Which is a far cry from unsupervised autonomy that supports many investors&#8217; robotaxi valuation models,&#8221; he added.
CEO Elon Musk has said Tesla plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45529030/elon-musk-confirms-tesla-robotaxi-launch-is-on-track-for-next-month-these-things-happen-slowly-but-then-all-at-once">launch the Robotaxis by the end of June</a>, starting with over 10 vehicles. He also noted the company would be &#8220;very careful&#8221; with the first introduction of unsupervised full self-driving.
Musk also dismissed the idea of working with ride-hailing company Uber Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>), hinting instead at a proprietary Tesla platform where owners could add or remove their vehicles from the fleet.

Jensen Huang Praised Tesla, Said Every Car Will Need Autonomous Capability—'It's Safer, It's More Convenient, It's 'More Fun To Drive'

Anthony Scaramucci,&nbsp;the founder of SkyBridge Capital, shared his journey into the world of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) that started during his brief stint at the White House. His interest in cryptocurrency has since led him to become a significant player in the digital currency space.
What Happened: Scaramucci&#8217;s second encounter with Bitcoin happened in the Roosevelt Room of the White House in 2017. The meeting, attended by then-Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and officials from The Federal Reserve, revolved around cryptocurrency research and was a pivotal moment in sparking Scaramucci&#8217;s interest in Bitcoin and blockchain technology.
After his departure from the White House, Scaramucci delved deeper into digital currency research, eventually becoming a crypto investor through his hedge fund. His publication, The Little Book of Bitcoin, shares stories about people&#8217;s journey to cryptocurrency, reflecting his belief that most people who explore Bitcoin end up believing in it.
As per the Fortune, the book has been well-received, earning praise from Strategy chairman Michael Saylor, despite initial disagreements about investment allocation recommendations.&nbsp;
According to Scaramucci, he approached Saylor to pen the foreword for his book. After reading the manuscript, Saylor called him—while sailing on his yacht—to say he was impressed overall, but strongly disagreed with the final chapter. 
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42378636/scaramucci-bitcoin-is-a-volatile-asset-but-ready-for-prime-time-institutional-investing">Scaramucci: Bitcoin Is a Volatile Asset, But &#8216;Ready for Prime Time Institutional Investing&#8217;</a>
Saylor questioned why Scaramucci would advocate for Bitcoin with such strong conviction yet suggest only a modest investment. 
Saylor told him, "You just got done telling me this is the greatest investment" but you only recommend a 2% allocation, Scaramucci said. That feedback led Scaramucci to revise the book's conclusion.
While Scaramucci has found success in his crypto investments, he has made it clear that he has no political ambitions. He expressed hope for a resolution to the political impasse and the ongoing tariff issues with Canada.
Why It Matters: Scaramucci&#8217;s journey from the White House to becoming a crypto investor highlights the growing interest and acceptance of cryptocurrencies among traditional finance professionals. 
His story, as told in his book, could inspire more people to explore and invest in digital currencies, potentially driving further growth in the cryptocurrency market.

Michael Saylor Called Scaramucci From a Yacht and It Changed the Ending of His Book

Hollywood actors are often seen as financially set for life, with little reason to seek extra income elsewhere. But acclaimed American actor Josh Brolin revealed in an interview that he turned to stock trading to make ends meet during a difficult stretch in his Hollywood career.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">‘I Just Wasn't Making Money'</h2>
Speaking with podcaster and journalist <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aomL_083OWA">Guy Raz</a> a few months ago, Brolin said he began stock investing to support his family during a time when his acting career hadn't taken off and he wasn't "cutting it."
&nbsp;"I had children going to school and I just wasn&#8217;t making money, man," Brolin said. "If you&#8217;re lucky enough to make 100,000 a year, which I wasn&#8217;t, then you&#8217;re clearing 30,000 after taxes and commissions and if you have a lawyer and you have a manager and an agent and all this stuff that I had back then."

</ul>
Brolin said he started taking interest in stocks after meeting entrepreneur and investor Brett Markinson, who introduced him to the technical details and dynamics of trading. Brolin started asking him everything about investing to understand the finer details of the industry. Later, Brolin's role in "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" gave him access to market experts and billionaires, with whom he discussed finance, discipline, and other key aspects of investing, he said. All of this proved worthwhile for Brolin, who said he earned more from investing than from his acting career.
"I made more money than I had ever made acting for sure," Brolin told Raz. "It wasn&#8217;t just because I got lucky with one stock that went to the roof, I was very disciplined in the breaths of upward momentum, you know, fairly solid stocks. So I&#8217;d get it when it would go down, I&#8217;d sell it when it would go up."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">From Day Trading to Long-Term Investing</h2>
Brolin said that he is a long-term investor now because day trading requires a tight schedule and a disciplined routine.
"If you do that, you have to be up at 4:30 every morning and you have to know your basket and you have done your due diligence for what you&#8217;re trading for that day and the night before," according to Brolin.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">‘I Knew I Could Figure Financials Out'</h2>
Brolin said he'd accepted early on that he'd spend his career as a working actor, constantly seeking roles to support himself. But he was also confident from the beginning that he&#8217;d always be able to handle his finances and provide for his family.
"I knew that I could figure financials out, I knew that I could support myself, not just through acting. I didn&#8217;t do TV for 20 years, so again, for somebody who needs to provide for their family, there was still some version of integrity," he said.

Let&#8217;s dive in.
Tesla Cybertrucks Join Mexican Police Fleet For 2026 FIFA World Cup
Despite a dip in consumer demand, Tesla&#8217;s Cybertrucks have found a new customer &#8211; the Mexican police. The bulletproof durability of these vehicles makes them an attractive choice for law enforcement, especially with the 2026 FIFA World Cup on the horizon.

Chinese Regulators Discuss &#8216;Zero Mile&#8217; Used Cars with BYD
China&#8217;s commerce ministry regulators are set to meet with executives from several Chinese automakers, including EV giant BYD, to discuss the surge in zero-mile used car sales.

Cybertrucks For FIFA 2026, Chinese Regulators Meet BYD, Tesla's European Troubles, And More: This Week In Mobility

Russian authorities have been accused of concocting a story about an attack on President&nbsp;Vladimir Putin&#8216;s helicopter&nbsp;during his visit to the&nbsp;Kursk region.
What Happened: According to a report, Russian officials had reported an assault on Putin&#8217;s helicopter by Ukrainian drones while he was in the border region. However, The Moscow Times, quoting both&nbsp;current and former Russian officials,&nbsp;suggested that this account may have been a deception by the authorities to persuade&nbsp;the public that Putin was&nbsp;sharing in the same hardships as the average citizen.
The Russian Defense Ministry had previously announced that the helicopter was the target of a large-scale Ukrainian drone attack. 
Yet The Moscow Times proposed that this announcement was merely a &#8220;PR stunt&#8221; designed to portray Putin as sharing in the struggles of ordinary Russians amid the ongoing drone conflict.
As per the report <a href="https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/05/30/hero-under-fire-as-putin-visited-kursk-the-kremlin-told-russians-that-he-was-dodging-ukrainian-drones-a89276">by</a> The Moscow Times, officials, who chose to remain anonymous, assured the outlet that Putin&#8217;s safety was guaranteed at the highest level, with hundreds of officers from the Presidential Security Service, the FSB, the National Guard, and the Interior Ministry forming his security detail.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45186088/putin-ally-who-unveiled-tesla-cybertruck-with-machine-gun-now-says-elon-musk-remotely-disabled-the-militarized-ev">Putin Ally Who Unveiled Tesla Cybertruck With Machine Gun Now Says Elon Musk &#8216;Remotely Disabled&#8217; The Militarized EV</a>
The&nbsp;Center for Strategic Communications and&nbsp;Information Security in Ukraine refuted the claims that Putin&#8217;s helicopter was attacked by Ukrainians. 
In addition,&nbsp;the Institute for the Study&nbsp;of War noted that, contrary to Moscow&#8217;s assertions, combat continues with Russian forces not making progress in their offensive operations.
Why It Matters: The alleged fabrication of the attack on Putin&#8217;s helicopter underscores the tense relations between Russia and Ukraine, and the lengths to which authorities may go to manipulate public perception. 
This incident, if indeed a fabrication, could further strain relations between the two countries and potentially escalate the ongoing conflict. 
It also raises questions about the transparency and credibility of information released by the Russian authorities.

Russia Accused of Faking Attack on Putin's Helicopter

Astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore have shared the harrowing details of their nearly 10-month stay aboard the International Space Station, revealing they were unsure at one point whether they&#8217;d be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/03/44370917/nasa-astronauts-sunita-williams-and-butch-willmore-head-back-to-earth-on-spacex-dragon-capsule" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">able to return to Earth safely.</a>
The two astronauts, part of the first crewed test of Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) &#8216;s Starliner spacecraft, faced critical thruster issues during docking, <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clygd1vl9yeo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a> BBC.
Unable to proceed forward initially, they relied on support from Mission Control to stabilize the craft. 
&#8220;Docking was imperative,&#8221; Wilmore told BBC. &#8220;If we weren&#8217;t able to dock, would we be able to make it back? We didn&#8217;t know.&#8221;
Originally scheduled for an eight-day test flight in June 2024, the mission took an unexpected turn.

With Starliner struggling to dock, Wilmore admitted the thought of being stranded entered their minds. However, he and Williams refrained from discussing the worst-case scenario aloud, instead focusing on solutions and coordination.
The pair eventually docked and remained aboard the ISS while NASA assessed Starliner&#8217;s readiness for re-entry.
Boeing maintained the vehicle was safe, and later demonstrated that with an uncrewed return in September 2024.
But NASA opted to bring the astronauts back using a SpaceX capsule, extending their stay dramatically.
Despite headlines suggesting they were stranded, both astronauts clarified the ISS had backup spacecraft ready for emergencies.
The situation also became politically charged when President Donald Trump blamed Joe Biden for the astronauts&#8217; extended stay. Wilmore dismissed the politicization, saying, &#8220;We understand space flight is hard.&#8221;
They returned on March 18 and described the physical challenges of readjusting to gravity.
Still, both credited daily resistance training in space for keeping them in top shape—Wilmore claimed he returned &#8220;stronger than I&#8217;ve ever been.&#8221; Williams echoed that sentiment, though admitted Earth&#8217;s gravity wasn&#8217;t easy on her joints at first.
Both astronauts remain optimistic about Starliner&#8217;s future, saying they&#8217;d gladly fly in the capsule again once technical issues are addressed.
&#8220;It&#8217;s a very capable spacecraft,&#8221; Williams told BBC, citing its unique features compared to other vehicles.

Sam Bankman-Fried's Early Release, Schiff Vs Vance, Bitcoin's Fall, And Trump's Meme Coin Dinner: This Week In Crypto

It&#8217;s been a whirlwind of a week for Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), with the tech giant making headlines for a variety of reasons. From a potential overhaul of its operating systems to a significant camera upgrade, and from being in the crosshairs of President Donald Trump to a possible tariff absorption, Apple has been in the limelight. Let&#8217;s delve into the week&#8217;s top stories.
Apple&#8217;s Operating Systems Get a Fresh Look
Apple is reportedly planning a rebrand of its software platforms by introducing a year-based naming system, according to Bloomberg. The new strategy could be unveiled at its Worldwide Developers Conference on June 9.

iPhone Camera Upgrade to Match Samsung&#8217;s Flagship Specs

Trump&#8217;s Calculated Move Against Apple
Apple, usually not associated with national security, is in President Trump&#8217;s crosshairs. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo outlined three key reasons why Trump persistently targets Apple in public, noting that pressuring a global brand like Apple guarantees widespread media attention.

Apple May Absorb iPhone Tariff Instead of Moving Production to the US
President Trump demanded that Apple manufacture iPhones sold in the U.S. domestically, or face a 25% tariff. Top Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that the company is unlikely to move its assembly lines back to the U.S., even under political pressure.
