President Donald Trump has enacted executive orders aimed at bolstering U.S. drone defenses and advancing supersonic commercial aviation.
What Happened: The directives, signed on Friday, are designed to facilitate drone operations beyond visual line of sight, reduce dependency on Chinese drone manufacturers, and promote the development of electric air taxis, according to a report by Reuters.
A federal task force will be established to ensure U.S. airspace control, expand restrictions over sensitive sites, and improve real-time drone detection capabilities. The National Football League has expressed support for these measures, highlighting their role in safeguarding fans at major events.
Michael Kratsios, head of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, emphasized that the orders address the &#8220;growing threat of criminal terrorists and foreign misuse of drones.&#8221; Meanwhile, Sebastian Gorka, a senior director at the National Security Council, underscored the necessity of enhancing counter-drone capabilities.

Additionally, Trump has instructed the Federal Aviation Administration to lift the 1973 ban on supersonic air travel over land, provided that no sonic boom is audible on the ground. Boom Supersonic CEO Blake Scholl welcomed this development, marking a new chapter for commercial aviation.
Why It Matters: The executive orders come at a time when the defense sector is witnessing significant transformations. Anduril Industries, a defense tech company, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/market-summary/25/06/45810158/anduril-raises-2-5-billion-at-30-5-billion-valuation-doubling-in-a-year-as-defense-contracts-grow">recently secured $2.5 billion in funding</a>, doubling its valuation to $30.5 billion. This underscores the growing importance of advanced technologies in national security.
Furthermore, the conversation around replacing traditional manned fighter jets with drones has gained momentum, especially after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42525698/as-elon-musk-takes-on-lockheed-martin-made-f-35s-experts-question-feasibility-of-replacing-manned-fighter-jets-with-drones">Elon Musk&#8217;s comments</a> advocating for drone warfare. This shift in military strategy is also reflected in discussions about reallocating defense budgets to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42206297/amid-elon-musks-push-for-drones-and-ai-for-combat-transformation-analyst-pierre-ferragu-says-shift-the-defense-budget-in-favor-of-startups">support startups focused on drones and AI</a>, as highlighted by analyst Pierre Ferragu.

Trump Signs Orders To Strengthen US Drone Defenses And Supersonic Flight

Oracle of Omaha Warren Buffett was rejected from Harvard University as a 19-year-old, but came to regard the rejection as one of the best things that ever happened to him.
What Happened: Speaking <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVlJdHGMl4Q">at</a> the University of Nebraska in 2003, the Berkshire Hathaway CEO shared how he obtained the Nathan Gold Scholarship, which offered $500 to attend any graduate school. "I went there to this room at 3:00 that day or whatever it was and I walked in the room and there were the professors and I was the only student that showed up," he recalled. 
"I won $500 by default… those are usually my biggest triumphs when nobody else shows up."
With the scholarship, Buffett applied to Harvard, but after meeting the interviewer, his Harvard hopes came crashing down. "After about 10 minutes he said, ‘Better think about something else.' I was 19 at the time and I looked about 12 and I acted about eight. It was not a great combination."
The rejection hit hard. "All the time I'm thinking, you know, what do I tell my parents? It's kind of embarrassing." But what followed, Buffett said, was "the luckiest thing that ever happened to me."

Why It Matters: After this failed interview, Buffett applied to Columbia Business School, where he enrolled in a one-year master's program. "I got to meet Ben Graham, which had an enormous effect on me," he said. It also allowed him to graduate early, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44182984/warren-buffett-spent-71-years-of-his-life-married-and-says-the-secret-to-a-long-lasting-marriage-is-finding-someone-with-low-expectations">find a partner</a> as well: "I probably <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45602473/warren-buffett-calls-letting-first-wife-move-out-his-biggest-mistake-admits-it-was-99-his-fault-yet-she-introduced-him-to-his-current-wife">got my wife</a> that way… I got her before the competition showed up."
In Buffett's view, such detours are crucial in life. "You will get <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44238467/warren-buffett-shares-biggest-investing-mistakes-433m-deal-that-cost-berkshire-billions-and-trillion-dollar-tech-stocks-he-missed">some disappointments</a>, but the future is what counts," he said. "It would not be fun if I knew every decision I was going to make was going to be perfect. It'd be like playing golf and knowing you're going to hit a hole-in-one on every hole."
He stressed that failures—or <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/25/05/45602754/warren-buffett-investment-success-3-simple-rules-to-copy-oracle-of-omaha">what seem to be failures</a>—are simply part of the game. "If you take big swings, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44316684/warren-buffett-said-bad-news-is-an-investors-best-friend-and-if-youre-not-ready-for-stocks-to-drop-50-you-shouldnt-be-investing">you may miss sometimes</a>." About the rejection, he said, "It worked out wonderfully. It couldn't have worked out better," He even joked about Harvard's ‘mistake' of rejecting him: "Now that I've met the people that got in the class, I'm really sure they made a mistake."

Warren Buffett Got Rejected By Harvard — And Says It Was 'The Luckiest Thing That Ever Happened To Me:' Here's Why

Milan Kovac, the head of Tesla Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Optimus humanoid robot program, has announced his resignation. Kovac, who has been instrumental in leading the initiative since 2022, cited family commitments as the reason for his departure.
His announcement was made on X on Friday.
What Happened: Kovac announced his exit from the company on a post on X on Friday.
Kovac, who became vice president of the Optimus program in September last year, stated, &#8220;I&#8217;ve been far away from home for too long, and will need to spend more time with family abroad. I want to make it clear that this is the only reason.&#8221;
According to a report <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-06/tesla-s-leader-of-optimus-humanoid-robot-program-leaves-company">by</a> Bloomberg, Ashok Elluswamy, who currently leads Tesla&#8217;s autopilot teams, will take over Kovac&#8217;s responsibilities.

Elon Musk had previously indicated plans to produce thousands of Optimus robots this year, despite challenges such as China&#8217;s export restrictions on<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45826735/china-grants-temporary-rare-earth-licenses-to-us-automakers-suppliers"> rare-earth magnets</a>.
The company is prioritizing the launch of these robots and its robotaxi service, which are crucial to Tesla&#8217;s future valuation. Musk emphasized to CNBC, &#8220;The only things that matter in the long term are autonomy and Optimus.&#8221;

Why It Matters: The departure of Kovac comes at a critical time for Tesla&#8217;s Optimus project. The company has been making significant strides in humanoid robotics, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45536080/elon-musk-says-teslas-optimus-can-learn-tasks-by-watching-youtube-videos-just-like-a-human">Elon Musk revealing</a> that the Optimus robot is developing the ability to learn tasks by watching videos, similar to human learning patterns.

However, the project faces challenges, including supply chain constraints and China&#8217;s new export restrictions on rare earth materials, as highlighted by Musk during Tesla&#8217;s first-quarter earnings call.

Elon Musk's Tesla Optimus Robot Program Head Milan Kovac Steps Down

Microsoft&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) CEO&nbsp;Satya Nadella&nbsp;has offered a crucial piece of advice for those aiming to enter the tech industry amid the increasing influence of artificial intelligence (AI).
What Happened: Nadella, a leading figure in the tech world, emphasized the importance of mastering the fundamentals of computational thinking for a successful career in tech during a discussion with tech YouTuber Sajjaad Khader that aired on Thursday. This skill, which involves logically breaking down problems and systematically designing solutions, remains essential despite the transformative impact of AI on coding and problem-solving.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="I Asked Microsoft's CEO How To Get Hired (Satya Nadella)" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XWfSuGKmqXY?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>
</figure>
Nadella illustrated his point with a personal anecdote, explaining how his understanding of&nbsp;the underlying logic of a&nbsp;SQL query allowed him to effectively guide an AI-powered coding assistant, Microsoft&#8217;s Copilot, to resolve a bug. This example highlights the importance of understanding the fundamentals, as it enables individuals&nbsp;to use AI as a&nbsp;tool to enhance their capabilities rather than replace them.
He further predicts that AI will accelerate the transition&nbsp;from software engineer to software&nbsp;architect, democratizing the role by automating much of the coding &#8220;drudgery.&#8221; However, Nadella stresses&nbsp;that even when using AI&nbsp;for tasks like generating a markdown file, clear instructions are essential, requiring&nbsp;a blend of technical expertise&nbsp;and the ability to think&nbsp;like a systems engineer.
The CEO is enthusiastic that &#8220;The path to being that software architect gets speeded up.&#8221;
"All of us are going&nbsp;to be more software architects,"&nbsp;Nadella anticipates

Why It Matters: In a recent conversation with Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Nadella disclosed that AI now writes up to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/45093643/ai-is-reshaping-coding-at-microsoft-says-nadella-30-of-code-now-ai-generated">30% of Microsoft&#8217;s </a>code base, marking a significant shift in software development. This underscores the increasing importance of computational thinking, as AI continues to reshape the industry.
Amid the AI-driven growth, Microsoft has been&nbsp;eliminating <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45738506/microsoft-fires-hundreds-more-workers-amid-ai-fueled-growth-calls-it-positioning-the-company-for-success">hundreds of jobs</a>&nbsp;in a bid to position the company for success amid this transformative period. This underscores the need for individuals to equip themselves with the skills necessary to thrive in the AI-driven tech industry, as highlighted by Nadella&#8217;s advice.
However, this AI-driven transformation has not been without its challenges. Tech giants like&nbsp;Amazon&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Microsoft,&nbsp;Google&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>), and&nbsp;Shopify&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NYSE">SHOP</a>) have been racing to integrate AI, leading to engineers working faster with less thinking time and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45603978/as-amazon-microsoft-google-and-shopify-race-to-integrate-ai-engineers-say-theyre-working-faster-with-less-thinking-time-and-more-pressure-than-ever">more pressure </a>than ever. This further emphasizes the need for a strong foundation in computational thinking to navigate the evolving tech landscape.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella Shares Top Tip For Aspiring Techies To Land A Job In AI Era: 'The Path To Being Software Architect Gets Speeded Up'

As Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) gears up for its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2025, the focus is expected to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45712700/apples-ai-struggles-to-keep-pace-with-rivals-ahead-of-wwdc-2025">be on major software updates</a>, but there's growing speculation about the possibility of surprise hardware announcements.
What Happened: While WWDC is traditionally a software-heavy event, rumors have been swirling about the potential unveiling of three key hardware products, <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2025/06/06/new-hardware-at-wwdc-heres-what-the-rumors-say/">reported</a> 9To5Mac.
First, the Mac Pro, which hasn't seen a redesign in the Apple Silicon era, could be previewed at WWDC. Apple has a history of showcasing new Mac Pro models at the conference, so this would not be out of the ordinary.
Second, there's talk of a ‘HomePad' smart display making an appearance. This device would likely be tied to a new homeOS, which could be announced alongside it. The HomePad could compete with similar devices from competitors like Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google and Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>).
Subscribe to the&nbsp;<a href="https://bztechtrends.beehiiv.com/subscribe" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter</a>&nbsp;to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
Lastly, AirTag 2, a rumored update to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42677323/apples-airtag-2-roundup-ultra-wideband-boost-safety-improvements-and-more-rumored-features">Apple's location tracker</a>, has been speculated to arrive in mid-2025. While it seems unusual for such a product to debut at WWDC, Apple's audience extends beyond developers, and the timing could make sense, the report added.
Why It&#8217;s Important: WWDC 2025 is Apple's last major event <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44348175/apples-iphone-17-air-to-usher-in-new-era-of-slimmer-portless-models">before the launch of the</a> iPhone 17 in the fall, making it a potential window for hardware announcements.&nbsp;
WWDC 2025 will be held <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45787471/apples-wwdc-2025-when-how-to-watch-the-keynote-and-what-to-expect">from June 9–13</a>, with the keynote livestreamed on June 9 at 1 p.m. ET.
According to Benzinga&#8217;s Edge Stock Rankings, Apple is showing a downward price trend across the short, medium and long term. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Additional metrics can be found here</a>.

Apple May Launch New Hardware At WWDC 2025: Mac Pro, HomePad, AirTag 2 Expected

China has issued temporary export licenses for rare-earth materials to suppliers of U.S. automakers.
What Happened: China has issued temporary export licenses to rare-earth suppliers for the top three U.S. automakers, according to a report by Reuters on Friday. This move comes amid ongoing supply chain disruptions due to Beijing&#8217;s export restrictions on these materials.
At least some of these licenses are valid for six months, as per two unnamed sources cited by Reuters. However, details regarding the quantity or specific items covered by the approval remain unclear.

China&#8217;s decision in April to limit exports of rare earths and related magnets has affected supply chains crucial to automakers, aerospace manufacturers, semiconductor firms, and military contractors globally. The country&#8217;s dominance in the critical mineral industry is seen as a significant leverage point in its trade conflict with the U.S.
Suppliers for General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>), Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), and Stellantis NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) received clearance for some rare earth export licenses on Monday, one source noted.
Why It Matters: The issuance of temporary licenses by China comes at a critical time when global automakers are grappling with potential production disruptions due to rare-earth supply shortages.
A report from May highlighted concerns from automakers like General Motors and Toyota Motor (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>) about<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/05/45708426/chinas-rare-earth-magnet-restrictions-threaten-auto-production-could-result-in-shutdown-of-assembly-lines-report"> potential factory shutdowns</a> due to these restrictions.
Furthermore, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45763345/amid-us-china-trade-war-global-automakers-warn-beijings-curbs-on-rare-earth-metals-could-significantly-impact-production">ongoing trade tensions</a> between the U.S. and China have exacerbated these challenges, with automakers worldwide warning of significant impacts on production.

China Grants Temporary Rare-Earth Licenses To US Automakers' Suppliers

President Donald Trump has stated he has no plans to communicate with Elon Musk, highlighting ongoing friction over the contentious ‘Big, Beautiful Bill.&#8217;
This announcement was made while Trump was aboard Air Force One, as reported by Reuters. Despite wishing Musk success with Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), Trump indicated he wasn&#8217;t considering speaking with the EV giant's CEO at the moment.
Trump also hinted at a potential review of Musk&#8217;s federal contracts, stating, &#8220;We&#8217;ll take a look at everything,&#8221; about the significant financial dealings.
A White House source, who chose to remain anonymous, suggested Trump might sell his red Tesla Model S, which had been previously displayed at the White House.
On the other hand, Musk has been vocally critical of the Republican tax and spending bill, expressing his disapproval on his social-media platform X. He argued that the bill could politically damage Republicans and exacerbate the national debt. Musk also floated the idea of creating a new political party to represent the middle majority.

The discord between Trump and Musk follows a public fallout, with Musk&#8217;s allies largely silent. Investor James Fishback advised Musk to apologize, citing Trump&#8217;s patience. This situation could have implications for the upcoming midterm elections, as Musk&#8217;s financial backing might affect Republican control of Congress.

Trump-Musk Feud May Not End Anytime Soon As President Says He Has No Plans To Speak To The Tesla CEO

On Friday, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of granting the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) access to sensitive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45810097/protecting-seniors-data-act-to-audit-doges-access-of-social-security-systems-identify-backdoor-channels-report">Social Security records</a>.
What Happened: The Supreme Court granted the Donald Trump administration's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45189902/trump-administration-pushes-supreme-court-to-greenlight-doge-access-to-americans-social-security-data-despite-lower-courts-fishing-expedition-warning">emergency request to lift a lower court's</a> ruling that had blocked DOGE's access to Social Security's data, <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/06/06/supreme-court-doge-social-security-records-ruling-00393064">reported</a> Politico.&nbsp;
This decision allows DOGE's team, tasked with detecting and preventing fraud, to access personal information in the Social Security Administration's (SSA) systems, including tax and wage reports and disability payments.
A three-paragraph unsigned order from the court's majority stated, "We conclude that, under the present circumstances, SSA may proceed to afford members of the SSA DOGE Team access to the agency records in question in order for those members to do their work."

However, the decision was met with dissent from three liberal justices. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote in a 10-page dissent that the ruling posed &#8220;grave privacy risks for millions of Americans.&#8221;
Why It's Important: The legal battle over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45466451/elizabeth-warren-torches-doges-social-security-fraud-claims-pointing-at-internal-memo-discovery-says-elon-musk-jd-vance-and-trump-are-lying">DOGE's access to Social Security data</a> is one of several that emerged in the early weeks of Trump's second term, as a cost-cutting team led by Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO and SpaceX founder Elon Musk spread throughout the federal government.
Last month, Musk ended his contentious four-month stint as head of the DOGE. Despite falling well short of the projected savings, President Trump honored him <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/05/45708460/elon-musks-175-billion-in-doge-cut-falls-far-short-of-the-billionaires-goal-expect-to-achieve-over-time-the-trillion-dollars-of-savings-says-tesla-ceo">with a golden key to the White House</a>.
DOGE set out to cut $1 trillion in federal spending by targeting bureaucracy and inefficiencies. However, according to its own website, the initiative has only achieved $180 billion in documented savings to date.

Trump's DOGE Gains Access To Social Security Records After Supreme Court Ruling, Raising Privacy Concerns For 'Millions Of Americans'

Ten years on from one of the most bitter legal battles in Britain's green energy sector, Dale Vince is still not mincing words. In a recent podcast appearance, the Ecotricity founder called Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk a "bad man running a bad company."
What Happened: Tesla proposed a collaboration with Ecotricity to boost EV charging infrastructure in the UK. The companies signed a non-disclosure agreement, and Ecotricity shared sensitive lease information with Tesla. However, it then turned into what Vince regards as an ambush, as he indicated in an interview with Novara Media.
One Sunday evening in 2015, Vince's colleague Simon Crowfoot <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/misdirected-email-sparks-electric-car-war-between-tesla-and-ecotricity-9533260.html">received an email</a> from Tesla. It was intended for a different Simon at Tesla, outlining a three-pronged plan to undermine Ecotricity: pressure landlords to breach contracts, launch a negative press campaign, and lobby government officials. The next morning, Ecotricity obtained a High Court injunction to block Tesla's moves. The legal battle played out over three years and <a href="https://www.current-news.co.uk/tesla-and-ecotricity-reach-out-of-court-settlement-over-electric-highways-d/">ended in a settlement</a>, with Tesla paying a major sum to Ecotricity.

Why It Matters: The case was seen as a defining "David vs Goliath" moment in the UK's EV rollout. Vince claimed Tesla misused confidential data to strong-arm its way into motorway charging sites, while pretending to negotiate in good faith. "They came to us all nice as pie," Vince said. "And when we refused, they tried to take it by force." He later described Tesla's behavior as "at least amoral," and called their tactics "like cowboys."
Court disclosures revealed internal Tesla communications, including Elon Musk reportedly saying, "It's not their Electric Highway, it's our Electric Highway"—a comment Vince said highlighted the company's aggressive posture. The episode became a cautionary tale for British companies dealing with Silicon Valley giants.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Energy CEO Explains Why The Right Are Wrong About Everything &#x7C; Aaron Bastani Meets @TheRealDaleVince" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BOPyQm59caw?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>
</figure>
Vince has since sold the Electric Highway to GRIDSERVE, but his view of Musk hasn't softened. "I wouldn't buy his car," he said on the podcast. "There might have been a world in which I'd bought a Tesla but I think they're quite naff… I think he's a bad man running a bad company."

Elon Musk Is A 'Bad Man' Running A 'Bad Company' Says British Green Energy Mogul Dale Vince, Ten Years After Tesla's 'Smash And Grab' Tactics Sparked UK EV War With Ecotricity

One frustrated investor took to <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/1l1smuu/what_exactly_is_the_stock_market_based_on_now/">Reddit</a> to ask a question many have quietly wondered: &#8220;What, exactly, is the stock market based on now?&#8221;
&#8220;Not fundamentals. Not technicals. Not economic data. Not historical precedent. Not major news. Not Trump&#8217;s &#8216;truth&#8217; tweets,&#8221; the person wrote.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">More About Vibes Than Value?</h2>
Many agreed with the original poster, offering brief yet telling responses, such as &#8220;vibes&#8221; and &#8220;fumes.&#8221; One simply added, &#8220;Hope. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-does-the-stock-market-work">stock market is based</a> on the hope you can grow some money.&#8221;

</ul>
Others suggested the system is less about value and more about routine flows of cash. A highly upvoted comment read, &#8220;It's based on continuing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40753320/new-report-the-u-s-has-more-401-k-millionaires-than-ever-even-though-people-feel-the-economy-isn">massive inflows of 401(k) money</a>. Employed people socking away money in good times and bad. It means demand for stocks even when there is no rational reason for demand.&#8221;
Some pointed out that this cycle of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45484036/ramit-sethi-explains-how-automatic-investing-can-grow-your-wealth-if-you-dont-see-it-you-wont-miss-it">automatic investing</a> might be what's keeping the market afloat. &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44473461/fund-managers-take-the-warren-buffet-route-even-as-retail-investors-pump-in-nearly-70-billion-into-us-stocks">Fund managers</a> end up with massive amounts of money that they must invest. It isn't optional,&#8221; one person wrote. &#8220;That means that fund manager gets a pile of money every month that has to go into the market no matter what realistic investing would dictate.&#8221;
Still, others raised concerns that this setup could eventually break. &#8220;This won&#8217;t hold when there&#8217;s more retired people than people investing for retirement,&#8221; someone warned.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is It Gambling Or Just A Bubble?</h2>
Several people argued that the market now behaves more like a casino than a pricing mechanism for company value.
&#8220;You&#8217;re not betting on how a company will do, you are betting on what other gamblers will do,&#8221; one person wrote. &#8220;If the news is good and hyped they will buy thinking that others will buy. This makes the price go up.&#8221;
A few chimed in with cultural references to explain the mood. One joked, &#8220;Economics is just astrology for dudes,&#8221; while another compared current market logic to mass hallucination: &#8220;We routinely mass hallucinate trillion-dollar valuations for companies that would take a half century of growth to justify.&#8221;

While some still held onto traditional ideas like long-term investing or company profits, others said those no longer hold the same weight.&nbsp;
Whether it&#8217;s vibes, inflows, hope or habit, this Reddit thread made one thing clear: more and more investors are wondering if the market&#8217;s behavior makes sense anymore.

If scrolling your feed makes you feel like everyone's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">maxing out their 401(k)</a>, flipping houses, and buying gold bars "just for fun," you're not alone. But <a href="https://www.fidelity.com/learning-center/personal-finance/average-retirement-savings">Fidelity's latest retirement report</a> offers a much-needed reality check: most people aren't coasting into early retirement—they're just trying to stay on track.
Fidelity's Q4 2024 data offers a wide-angle look at more than 24.5 million participants across 26,700 corporate retirement plans. While it doesn't count savings in brokerage accounts, real estate, or that dusty jar of cash in your kitchen drawer, it's a solid snapshot of how Americans are preparing for retirement.

</ul>
Here's how average 401(k) and IRA balances actually stack up across the generations—and what that might say about your own retirement game.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Baby Boomers (Born 1946–1964)</h2>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Average 401(k): $249,300</li>
<li>Average IRA: $257,002</li>
<li>Total: $506,302</li>
</ul>
Boomers are clearly the furthest along—but even after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/45752956/70-is-the-new-50-baby-boomers-are-being-told-to-keep-working-because-theyre-mentally-sharp-but-is-that-a-compliment-or-just-a-budget-fix">decades in the workforce</a>, most aren't looking at seven-figure balances. Their average savings rate is solid at 11.9%, plus 5% from employers. Still, with retirement possibly lasting 20–30 years, it's not exactly "leave-it-all-to-the-grandkids" money.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Gen X (Born 1965–1980)</h2>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Average 401(k): $192,300</li>
<li>Average IRA: $103,952</li>
<li>Total: $296,252 </li>
</ul>
Often labeled the "forgotten middle child" of the generational mix, Gen Xers are facing a now-or-never moment. Many are juggling college tuition, aging parents, and their own retirement dreams—and with just under $300,000 saved, the pressure is real.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Millennials (Born 1981–1996)</h2>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Average 401(k): $67,300</li>
<li>Average IRA: $25,109</li>
<li>Total: $92,409</li>
</ul>
Despite being deep into their prime earning years, millennials are still catching up. Student debt, housing costs, and late career starts haven't helped. The good news? Their contribution rates are climbing—18.3% have gone all-in on Roth 401(k)s, and over 70% are using target date funds.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Gen Z (Born 1997–2012)</h2>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Average 401(k): $13,500</li>
<li>Average IRA: $6,672</li>
<li>Total: $20,172</li>
</ul>
Just getting started, Gen Z isn't breaking any records—yet. But don't sleep on them: 81.5% are investing in target date funds and nearly one in five is already contributing to a Roth 401(k). Plus, their average savings rate – 7.2% – shows they're thinking long-term earlier than most generations did.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What "On Track" Actually Looks Like</h2>
Feeling behind? Fidelity recommends saving 15% of your income annually – including employer match – to stay on track for retirement. And they offer this rule of thumb: aim to have 1x your salary saved by age 30, 3x by 40, 6x by 50, and 10x by 67.
While those targets may feel high—especially with inflation doing its thing—they serve as rough benchmarks for anyone wondering whether they're pacing with their peers.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Long-Term Savers Reap Long-Term Gains</h2>
One bright spot in the data: people who've stayed with the same employer and plan for 15+ years tend to see significantly higher balances. Why? Stability, consistency, and compound growth. It's less about timing the market and more about time in the market.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset">Retirement planning is less a race</a> and more a really long relay—one where you drop the baton, pick it up, and keep running. Whether you've got six figures saved or six months of rent, the key takeaway from Fidelity's data is this: it's not about being perfect—it's about being persistent.
And if you're still wondering how you stack up? You're already doing more than you think by paying attention.
