President Donald Trump&#8216;s net worth has seen a significant drop of nearly $300 million. This financial hit is largely attributed to a sharp decline in the shares of&nbsp;Trump Media &amp; Technology Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>).
What Happened: The shares of Trump Media &amp; Technology Group plummeted to their lowest level since October. This has resulted in a decrease in Trump&#8217;s net worth, which now stands at $4.6 billion, reported <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/antoniopequenoiv/2025/03/10/trumps-net-worth-slides-300-million-as-trump-media-shares-hit-5-month-low/">Forbes</a> on Tuesday. This decline is part of a larger trend following a $2.4 billion decrease since mid-January, a period that marked a surge in Trump&#8217;s net worth due to a rally in Trump Media shares.
The stock of Trump Media closed down 11.4% at $19.92 per share on Monday as per Benzinga Pro, the&nbsp;lowest trading price in five&nbsp;months. The shares have now lost over 40% in 2025,&nbsp;after opening the year at&nbsp;$34.02. From Trump&#8217;s Inauguration Day on Jan 20, the stock plunged 50%. 
Trump Media, the parent company of Truth Social, became publicly traded nearly a year ago through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company.
This decline in Trump Media shares coincides with&nbsp;a broader stock market selloff,&nbsp;that followed Trump&#8217;s recent comments&nbsp;in a Fox News interview, where he did not dismiss the possibility of&nbsp;a recession in 2025 and&nbsp;stated, &#8220;You can&#8217;t really watch the stock market.&#8221; He also stated that the economy faces a period of &#8216;transition&#8217;.

Why It Matters: The decline in Trump Media&#8217;s stock on Monday is not an isolated event. From late February, the stock has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/44040878/trump-media-stock-craters-70-from-highs-is-there-any-floor-left">been in a free fall,</a> trading at a staggering 70% discount from its 52-week high of $79.38, reached on March 26, 2024. 
In February, Trump Media reported&nbsp;a loss of $400 million&nbsp;for the full year in 2024, while it clocked in $3.6 million in revenue.
Furthermore, growing concerns over macroeconomic items like tariffs have been highlighted by several analysts and experts. As a result, investors are becoming increasingly cautious with fears of a potential recession growing. 
BlackRock&nbsp;CEO Larry Fink <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44238063/2025-will-be-a-rocky-year-says-blackrocks-larry-fink-but-he-believes-the-world-and-the-us-will-get-by-and-that-its-time-to-buy-the-dip">recognized that 2025 </a>will be marked by uncertainty, citing inflation, market volatility, and evolving global trade policies.&nbsp;Despite anticipated volatility, Fink views market downturns as investment opportunities. "For long-term investors, if there&#8217;s a big dip, good. Good time to buy," he stated.

Trump's Net Worth Plummets By Nearly $300M As DJT Stock Drops To Its Lowest Since October

Elon Musk-led SpaceX has partnered with Jio Platforms Ltd., led by India's richest man, Mukesh Ambani to offer its Starlink satellite internet services in India.
What Happened: SpaceX partnered with Jio a day after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/03/44244377/elon-musks-spacex-partners-with-airtel-to-launch-starlink-in-india-weeks-after-pm-narendra-modis-us-visit">inking</a> a similar pact with Jio's rival Bharti Airtel.
Jio intends to distribute Starlink solutions through its retail outlets and online platforms, leveraging its status as the world's largest mobile operator by data traffic.
This partnership aims to expand internet connectivity across the nation. The collaboration is contingent upon regulatory approvals for SpaceX to sell Starlink services in India.
Jio Platforms plans to utilize Starlink's low Earth orbit satellite technology to deliver reliable broadband connectivity across India, including its most remote areas. The company will establish a customer service, installation, and activation support system.

"We are looking forward to working with Jio and receiving authorization from the Government of India to provide more people, organizations and businesses with access to Starlink's high-speed internet services," said Gwynne Shotwell, President and Chief Operating Officer of SpaceX.
Why It Matters: With the new partnerships, SpaceX has expanded its addressable market by over 850 million users. As per data from the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), Reliance Jio has over 465 million subscribers and Bharti Airtel has over 385 million subscribers as of Dec. 31, 2024.
This comes weeks after Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43718656/will-tesla-finally-enter-india-modi-musk-meeting-reportedly-focused-on-tariffs-starlink-licensing-and-spacex-collaboration">met</a> with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Washington D.C during his visit.

The Securities and Exchange Commission delayed the approval of several cryptocurrency spot exchange-traded funds Tuesday, including Litecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ltc/usd">LTC</a>), Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>), XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>), and Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>).
What Happened:&nbsp;The regulator postponed decisions on Canary Solana Trust ETF, VanEck Solana Trust ETF, 21Shares Core Solana ETF, Canary XRP Trust ETF, and Bitwise XRP ETF, along with Grayscale Investments&#8217; applications for XRP, DOGE, ADA, and LTC.
The SEC previously <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/43613700/cardano-outgains-bitcoin-ethereum-with-11-rally-after-its-first-ever-spot-etf-application-in-the-us">acknowledged </a>the 19b-4 filings, a mandatory step to list any ETF on Wall Street. Following the Form 19b-4 application, the agency usually has 45 days (which can be extended to another 45 days) to decide on the proposed rule change. The SEC can further extend the timeline with additional review periods of 45 and 60 days. 
Leading Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart said the delay in approval was not surprising. &#8220;It&#8217;s&nbsp;expected as this is standard&nbsp;procedure, &amp; [Paul] Atkins hasn&#8217;t even been confirmed yet.&#8221;
However, he stressed that the delay does not affect the &#8220;relatively high&#8221; odds of approval for these ETFs, whose final deadlines are not until October.

Bluesky CEO Jay Graber took the SXSW stage this week wearing a Latin phrase that's now fueling online speculation over whether it was a quiet jab at Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
What Happened: During her appearance at SXSW, Graber wore a black T-shirt with the Latin phrase "Mundus sine caesaribus"—which translates to "A world without Caesars."
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

The bold wardrobe choice caught attention due to its apparent contrast to Zuckerberg, who has become known for sporting shirts with Latin or Greek phrases, often invoking Roman history and power, first <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/bluesky-ceo-shirt-latin-trolls-mark-zuckerberg-sxsw-2025-3">noted</a> by Business Insider.

While Graber hasn't commented on the meaning behind her shirt, some people online are interpreting it as a subtle critique of tech billionaires and centralized power.

Mark Zuckerberg Trolled By Bluesky CEO's Subtle Jab? 'World Without Caesars' Shirt At SXSW Raises Eyebrows

President Donald Trump&#8216;s recent purchase of a Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Model S Plaid for White House staff use could significantly boost the electric vehicle maker&#8217;s sales, according to Gary Black.
What Happened: Black, Managing Partner of The Future Fund LLC, wrote on X that &#8220;President Trump&#8217;s endorsement of Tesla today is potentially HUGE.&#8221; 
Black calculated that if just 5% of Republicans who would consider buying a Tesla follow through after Trump&#8217;s endorsement, it could result in 1.7 million incremental purchases, nearly matching Tesla&#8217;s global delivery forecast of 1.8 million vehicles for fiscal year 2025.

Why It Matters: The president praised Musk as a &#8220;patriot&#8221; who was being &#8220;unfairly maligned&#8221; for his efforts to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44266805/trump-turns-white-house-into-tesla-showroom-says-elon-musk-was-treated-very-unfairly-heres-the-car-he-picked-for-himself">reduce government spending</a>. &#8220;Our country is going to be very strong, very smooth, because of a lot of the things that he&#8217;s done,&#8221; Trump said, crediting Musk for identifying &#8220;billions and billions of dollars of fraud and waste.&#8221;
The endorsement comes at a critical time for Tesla, whose shares had tumbled 15% on Monday after analysts cut delivery projections. The stock rebounded on Tuesday following Trump&#8217;s announcement of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44240714/trump-says-he-will-buy-a-brand-new-tesla-to-support-elon-musk-as-stock-falls-over-53-erasing-nearly-800-billion-in-investor-wealth-since-december-peak">his intention to purchase the vehicle</a>. Overall, Tesla&#8217;s stock has fallen over 53% since December, erasing nearly $800 billion in investor wealth.
Investors have expressed concern that Musk&#8217;s involvement with the Trump administration through the Department of Government Efficiency has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44246100/trump-makes-false-claim-about-tesla-boycotts-musk-blames-soros-and-linkedin-co-founder-for-backing-protests">distracted him from his companies</a>, including Tesla, SpaceX, X, and xAi.
Price Action: Tesla closed at $230.58 on Tuesday, up 3.79%. After hours, it rose to $234.99, gaining 1.91%. Year to date, the stock is down 39.21%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) Senior Counselor Samantha Clark has urged the Pentagon to embrace commercial software solutions or risk lagging behind global adversaries in an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44157866/palantirs-head-of-defense-warns-of-chinas-war-preparations-were-not-taking-it-seriously">increasingly data-driven battlefield</a>.
What Happened: Clark, a former Deputy Staff Director for the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee, co-authored a recent policy <a href="https://nationalinterest.org/blog/techland/the-pentagon-needs-a-software-update-literally">paper</a> on National Interest with American Enterprise Institute Senior Fellow William Greenwalt and Palantir senior counselor Greg Little, arguing that the Department of Defense&#8217;s limited software spending threatens national security posture.
&#8220;Software offers perhaps the most compelling way to close current and future gaps between the United States and its adversaries,&#8221; the authors stated, highlighting that the DOD allocates less than 1% of its budget—approximately $5 billion—to software acquisition.
The paper comes just days after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth&#8216;s Mar. 6 memo directing the adoption of the Software Acquisition Pathway as the preferred method for all software development components, acknowledging that &#8220;software-defined warfare is not a future construct, but the reality we find ourselves operating in today.&#8221;
This <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44157866/palantirs-head-of-defense-warns-of-chinas-war-preparations-were-not-taking-it-seriously">policy shift aligns with concerns</a> raised by Palantir&#8217;s Head of Defense Mike Gallagher, who warned at the National Security Innovation Base Summit that &#8220;China is preparing for war with America, and we&#8217;re not taking it seriously.&#8221;

Why It Matters: The authors describe a critical disparity between commercial and defense technology adoption, noting that major tech companies collectively spent $227 billion on R&amp;D in 2023—forty-five times the Pentagon&#8217;s software investment. They argue that the Pentagon&#8217;s preference for in-house development and intellectual property control hampers innovation and creates inefficiencies.
&#8220;By shifting to a commercial software-first approach, the DOD can ensure that it remains agile, responsive, and prepared to meet the evolving challenges of the modern battlefield,&#8221; the authors concluded.
Palantir, which reported a 45% year-over-year increase in U.S. government revenue to $343 million in the fourth quarter, has seen its stock surge to $78.05, with analysts setting an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PLTR/analyst-ratings">average price target</a> of $70.30. Wedbush Securities recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42356725/alex-karp-supports-doge-as-trump-taps-palantirs-shyam-shankar-for-border-security-role-cannot-have-a-better-person-than-musk">compared investing in PLTR</a> to buying Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) stock in 2015.
Palantir demonstrates strong momentum, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PLTR">Benzinga Edge ranking</a> with a sustained long-term uptrend, though its low-value score suggests potential overvaluation while growth remains moderate.

As China's AI race accelerates, the viral autonomous agent Manus AI has partnered with Alibaba Group Holding Ltd's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) Qwen team to develop a localized version tailored for Chinese users.
What Happened: Manus, which was developed by Tencent Holdings (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCEHY#OTC">TCEHY</a>)-backed startup The Butterfly Effect, announced the development on Tuesday, <a href="https://www.scmp.com/tech/big-tech/article/3301986/ai-agent-manus-partners-alibabas-qwen-develop-chinese-version">reported</a> the South China Morning Post.
The partnership aims to ensure all Manus features run on domestic models and infrastructure, though a specific launch date has not been disclosed.

Moreover, Alibaba's Qwen models, open-sourced since August 2023, have powered more than 90,000 derivative models worldwide, according to data from Hugging Face, an AI and machine-learning developer platform.

China's Viral AI Agent Manus Taps Alibaba's Qwen For Local Expansion: What You Need To Know

Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio warned on Wednesday that the United States faces a &#8220;very severe&#8221; supply-demand problem that could lead to &#8220;shocking developments&#8221; in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43966706/ray-dalio-urges-trump-to-cut-deficits-to-3-of-gdp-within-three-years-or-let-the-economy-suffer">the near future</a>.
What Happened: &#8220;The first thing is the debt issue,&#8221; Dalio said at the CONVERGE LIVE event in Singapore, emphasizing that the federal government will need to sell more debt than global markets can absorb, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/12/ray-dalio-warns-growing-us-debt-will-lead-to-shocking-developments.html">reported</a> CNBC.
The billionaire investor stressed the urgency of reducing the U.S. deficit from its projected 7.2% of GDP to approximately 3% — a substantial adjustment that would require significant fiscal changes.
&#8220;That&#8217;s a big deal. You are going to see shocking developments in terms of how that&#8217;s going to be dealt with,&#8221; Dalio warned.
His comments come amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44260839/tech-stocks-bitcoin-strongly-rebound-as-ukraine-backs-us-proposal-for-30-day-ceasefire-with-russia">recent market volatility triggered</a> by trade policy uncertainty, adding to Wall Street&#8217;s concerns about global economic stability.

Why It Matters: In previous statements at the World Governments Summit in February, Dalio likened the $36.4 trillion federal debt to plaque <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43756938/ray-dalio-warns-of-looming-us-debt-crisis-says-america-faces-economic-heart-attack-without-fiscal-cuts">clogging the financial system&#8217;s arteries</a>, warning of a potential &#8220;economic heart attack&#8221; without immediate action. The current debt-to-GDP ratio stands at approximately 125%, with federal debt having surged 80% since 2020 while GDP grew only 38%.
Dalio has consistently advocated for his &#8220;3% solution,&#8221; which combines spending cuts, tax adjustments, and careful interest rate management. He recently supported President Donald Trump&#8216;s proposal for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43966706/ray-dalio-urges-trump-to-cut-deficits-to-3-of-gdp-within-three-years-or-let-the-economy-suffer">interest rate reductions</a> but emphasized these must be accompanied by spending cuts to effectively address the deficit.
According to the Congressional Budget Office, annual budget deficits are projected to average 6.1% of GDP through 2035 — significantly higher than the 50-year average of 3.8% — with national debt potentially rising by nearly $24 trillion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43966706/ray-dalio-urges-trump-to-cut-deficits-to-3-of-gdp-within-three-years-or-let-the-economy-suffer">over the next decade</a>.

Ray Dalio Warns US Debt Crisis Could Trigger 'Shocking Developments' Calls To Reduce Deficit At 3% Of GDP

The House Financial Services Committee held a hearing Tuesday to discuss the need for stablecoin regulation and the harmful impacts&nbsp;of a U.S. Central Bank&nbsp;Digital Currency.
What Happened: The hearing was led by Chairman Rep.&nbsp;French Hill&nbsp;(R-AR) and was titled &#8220;Examining&nbsp;a Federal Framework for Payment&nbsp;Stablecoins and Consequences of a&nbsp;U.S. Central Bank Digital Currency,&#8221; according to a press release.
The committee members examined the potential of blockchain technology, especially in stablecoin payments. They also discussed the STABLE Act—a legislation introduced in the House last month that aims to establish a clear regulatory framework for payment stablecoins while adhering to U.S. anti-money laundering and sanctions laws.&nbsp;
&#8220;A properly regulated stablecoin market can strengthen the U.S. dollar's dominance, modernize our payments infrastructure, and promote financial access without government overreach,&#8221; Hill stated.
Furthermore, the committee deliberated on the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act that prohibits the use of CBDCs for monetary policy. 
&#8220;CBDCs introduce significant privacy risks and are fundamentally the antithesis of American values,"&nbsp;said House Majority Whip Rep. Tom Emmer&nbsp;(R-Minn.), who introduced the bill.

Ethereum Plunges 30% Since His Buy Call</a>
Why It Matters: The hearing comes in the wake of the growing influence of stablecoins in financial markets. A report by Bernstein last month <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43810566/stablecoins-are-a-big-deal-but-not-where-youd-expect-bernstein-says">highlighted the role of U.S. dollar-pegged coins</a> such as Tether (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDT</a>) and USD Coin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>) in streamlining international money transfers.
However, the report also mentioned that their primary use case remains within cryptocurrency capital markets rather than mainstream payment systems​.
Regulations around cryptocurrencies have gained momentum since President Donald Trump took office. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44261690/bitcoin-act-of-2025-introduced-in-the-house-of-representatives#:~:text=Actof2025inthe,financialtoolswithouttaxpayerfunding.">Bitcoin Act of 2025</a> was introduced in the House on Tuesday, aiming to fund the newly established Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.

Xpeng, Hesai Group, Kohl's, Groupon, And Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

As Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) reportedly <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44211544/apple-breaks-tradition-with-a-flood-of-new-releases-explores-smart-glasses">rethinks its strategy</a> for AR wearables, Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google is doubling down with a possible $115 million acquisition of eye-tracking startup AdHawk Microsystems.
What Happened: Google is in final talks to acquire AdHawk, a Canadian startup specializing in advanced eye-tracking hardware and software, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-11/google-googl-is-poised-to-acquire-eye-tracking-startup-adhawk-for-glasses?utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=author_alert&amp;utm_term=250311&amp;utm_campaign=author_19842959&amp;sref=9hGJlFio">reported</a> Bloomberg on Tuesday, citing people with knowledge of the matter.
The reported deal includes $15 million in performance-based payments and is expected to close this week.

Founded in 2017, AdHawk developed MindLink smart glasses and low-power components that can track eye movements.
AdHawk's staff is expected to join Google's Android XR team, the report noted. Google's team is already working on software for next-gen headsets, including a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43151196/samsung-google-team-up-to-develop-ar-glasses-entering-the-race-against-meta-and-apple">joint device</a> with Samsung Electronics Co.

Why It's Important: The acquisition underscores <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/03/31376205/what-went-wrong-with-google-glass-enterprise-inside-look-at-the-discontinued-ar-project">Google's renewed focus</a> on augmented reality. In 2023, the tech giant had halted the sales of its Google Enterprise smart glasses and discontinued software support.
Meanwhile, AdHawk has been available in the market for several years. In fact, in 2022, Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) explored the possibility of acquiring it.
Apple is also said to be exploring a new design for lightweight glasses by 2030 after the Vision Pro's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39747111/apples-vision-pro-struggles-to-find-its-killer-app-to-justify-3-500-price-tag-just-not-quite-hit-the">lukewarm reception</a>.&nbsp;
Price Action: As of this writing, Alphabet's Class A shares rose 0.11% in after-hours trading to $164.23, while Class C shares climbed 0.096% to $166.14. Apple's stock closed Tuesday's regular session at $220.84, down 2.92%, but edged up 0.10% in after-hours trading, according to the <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

The global cryptocurrency market capitalization stood at $2.68 trillion, following an increase of 6.28% in the last 24 hours.
Stocks edged lower for the second straight trading day of the week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slid 478.23 points, or 1.14%, to close at 41,433.48. The S&amp;P 500 fell 0.75%, ending at 5,572.07. The tech-focused Nasdaq Composite lost 0.18% to close at 17,436.10.
The grim sentiment prevailed after Trump announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44253100/trump-slaps-50-tariff-on-canadian-steel-aluminum-threatens-auto-industry">imposing </a>an additional 25% tariff on steel and aluminum imports from Canada on Tuesday, bringing the total levy to 50%.

Analyst Notes: Popular on-chain analytics firm CryptoQuant noted significant whale interest in Bitcoin amid the corrective price action.
"Despite the continued correction in Bitcoin, whales have accumulated more than 65,000 BTC in the last 30 days, indicating high buying pressure from large network participants," CryptoQuant stated.
"If this pattern continues for a few more weeks, it will signal constant buying pressure similar to what we had between November and December."

Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst Michaël van de Poppe weighed in on Bitcoin's relief rally, stating that the leading digital asset has yet to break through a crucial level.
"I think that the next test is the massive one. If $82,500-$83,500 breaks, probably we&#8217;ll see $88-92,000 in a swift move," he predicted.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Recover On Strategic Reserve Bill In Congress: Top Analyst Foresees BTC's 'Swift Move' To $88,000-$92,000 If This Happens

Kevin O'Leary sure <a href="https://youtube.com/shorts/qkOd7vVKSBE?si=JjvcramY5SLjZOzG">likes to speak his mind</a>, and when it comes to Tesla&nbsp; (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) he's been all over the map. The Shark Tank investor has told the story multiple times—if Elon Musk had walked into Shark Tank before launching Tesla and pitched the idea of an electric car company, O'Leary would have shut it down immediately. "I would say, ‘You're crazy,'" he told <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2020/05/07/why-kevin-oleary-would-have-said-no-to-tesla-on-shark-tank.html">CNBC in 2020</a>, emphasizing that he typically only backs profitable businesses with a clear path to making money.
But despite his initial skepticism, O'Leary did end up investing in Tesla. He credits that decision to his son, Trevor, who interned at the company and saw its potential long before O'Leary did. In a <a href="https://youtube.com/shorts/qkOd7vVKSBE?si=JjvcramY5SLjZOzG">2022 YouTube clip</a>, O'Leary recalled his reaction when he first considered the stock: "I want to short that stock, it's such a joke. It's a car company that's trading at a ridiculous price."
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl"> this is your last chance to become an investor for $0.80 per share.</a></li>
<li>Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart &amp; Target – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">Many are rushing to grab 4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for just $0.26/share!</a></li>
</ul>
Trevor didn't hold back. "No, you're a joke," he told his father. "You don't understand what Tesla is doing. I work there." He explained that Tesla wasn't just making cars—it was a data company. "Every mile a Tesla drives goes into a mapping database for autonomous cars," he said.
That was all O'Leary needed to hear. "I didn't know that," he admitted. Without hesitation, he bought Tesla stock, then put it on the back burner. Months later, he checked his portfolio and was shocked—his Tesla investment had jumped 1,000%.
Since then, O'Leary has become one of Tesla's biggest supporters. In December, he praised Musk's approach <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/feed/posts/kevinolearytv_elon-musk-built-tesla-into-the-most-successful-activity-7267303863819354112-2M3g/">on social media</a>, writing, "Elon Musk built Tesla into the most successful EV company by taking big risks and creating his own infrastructure. The others are losing money and failing to scale. Maybe they shouldn't survive."
Trending: This data platform is reshaping how you invest in private companies —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/kingscrowd-adv"> and you can be a part of it for $0.18 per share</a>
Six months ago, he took his praise even further, calling Musk "a modern-day Bruce Wayne—no BS, completely transparent, and knows how to get things done." O'Leary even suggested that if more leaders operated like Musk, "this country would be in a much better place."
But lately, Tesla's stock has been taking a beating. As of March 7, Tesla <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TSLA">closed at $262.67</a>, down 10% for the week and nearly 50% from its December high of $479.86. Musk's political involvement—particularly his alliance with President Donald Trump and his role in the Department of Government Efficiency—has fueled backlash. Some Tesla owners and potential buyers now see the brand as a political statement they no longer want to make.

If They Could Show A Plan For Ending World Hunger He'd Donate $6 Billion – ‘I Will Sell Tesla Stock Right Now And Do It'</a>
Sales are also slipping. In Europe, Tesla's <a href="https://www.acea.auto/pc-registrations/new-car-registrations-2-6-in-january-2025-battery-electric-15-market-share/">registrations dropped 45%</a> in January, even as EV sales overall climbed. California and other key markets have seen similar declines. Protests and even vandalism at Tesla showrooms have added to the company's brand struggles.
While O'Leary once dismissed the company, he now sees it as a prime example of bold leadership and innovation. However, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/03/44143606/tesla-stock-nears-50-drop-from-all-time-highs-analyst-says-difficult-fundamental-conditions-ahead">Tesla's stock sliding</a> and Musk's political involvement stirring controversy, the bigger question is whether the brand can withstand the backlash—or if the man behind it will prove, once again, that betting against him is a mistake.
