The U.S. Senate has rejected a Democratic-led proposal to limit President Donald Trump&#8216;s authority to use military force against Iran.
What Happened: The Senate, led by Republicans, voted 53-47 against a resolution that would have required Congressional approval for any further military actions against Iran, according to a Reuters report.
The vote, which took place on Friday, was largely divided along party lines, with only one Democrat, Pennsylvania&#8217;s Sen John Fetterman (D-Pa.), voting against the resolution. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) voted in favor of the resolution, aligning with the Democrats.
Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), the resolution&#8217;s chief sponsor, has been advocating for years to restore Congress&#8217;s authority to declare war, which has been assumed by both Republican and Democratic presidents. Emphasizing on power granted by the Constitution to Congress, not the president, the sole authority to declare war, 
Kaine in his speech said, &#8220;If you think the president should have to come to Congress, whether you are for or against a war in Iran, you&#8217;ll support Senate Joint Resolution 59, you&#8217;ll support the Constitution that has stood the test of time,&#8221;

Trump&#8217;s administration has faced criticism from lawmakers for the recent U.S. strikes on Iran and the uncertainty surrounding Iran&#8217;s highly enriched uranium stockpiles. Despite this, the Senate&#8217;s Republican majority argued that the strikes were within the President&#8217;s rights as Commander-in-Chief and did not signify the beginning of prolonged hostilities.
Why It Matters: The Senate&#8217;s decision to uphold Trump&#8217;s war powers comes in the wake of heightened tensions between the U.S. and Iran.
The U.S. military executed precision strikes on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46043305/donald-trump-announces-spectacular-military-success-as-us-strikes-key-iranian-nuclear-sites">three key Iranian nuclear facilities</a>, including Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan, which President Trump hailed as a &#8216;spectacular military success.&#8217;
Trump has also announced the possibility of further strikes if Iran resumes enriching uranium to concerning levels. Despite these developments, Trump declared a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46072859/trump-says-israel-is-not-going-to-attack-iran-after-ceasefire-violation-turn-around-and-head-home">asserting that Israel would not attack Iran</a>.
Trump&#8217;s administration then announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46107752/trump-announces-iran-nuclear-talks-following-us-strikes-that-severely-damaged-iranian-nuclear-program">nuclear talks with Iran</a> following the U.S. strikes, which were said to have severely damaged Iran&#8217;s nuclear capabilities. These developments sparked debate and concern, with Trump&#8217;s approval ratings <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46129934/trump-approval-ratings-drop-after-attack-on-iran-tie-for-worst-since-second-term-started">experiencing a significant drop</a> in the lead-up and aftermath of the strikes.

Senate Defends Trump's War Powers, Rejects Push For Congressional Approval For Further Action Against Iran

President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;hinted at the possibility of adjusting the early July deadline for reinstating significant U.S. tariffs on various countries.
What Happened: On Friday, Trump suggested that the July 9 deadline for a U.S.-EU trade deal might not be set in stone.
"We&nbsp;can do whatever we want,"&nbsp;he told reporters at the White House, according <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/27/trump-tariff-trade-deadline-july.html">to</a> a CNBC report.
"We could extend it. We could make it shorter."
This statement also addressed the July 8 deadline, which marks the end of&nbsp;a three-month pause on his&nbsp;"Liberation Day" tariffs.
The pause temporarily reduced tariffs to 10%, but they could revert to higher rates unless Trump&#8217;s executive order from April 9 is amended.
During the 90-day pause, the White House aimed to negotiate individual trade agreements, but&nbsp;with less than two weeks&nbsp;left, only limited&nbsp;agreements with China and the&nbsp;United Kingdom have been finalized.
Trump mentioned deals with "probably four or five different&nbsp;countries," yet emphasized the extensive list of countries still targeted by tariffs.
Despite a federal trade court ruling against the tariffs in May,&nbsp;a federal appeals court has&nbsp;temporarily halted that decision.&nbsp;White House press secretary Karoline&nbsp;Leavitt hinted at the possibility of extending the July deadlines, but emphasized that the decision rests with the President.

Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s recent remarks come on the heels of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46150909/trump-canada-tariffs-dollar-deal">dramatic shift</a> in trade negotiations with Canada. On the same day, Trump halted all trade talks with Canada, citing their new Digital Services Tax on American technology companies as a &#8220;direct and blatant attack&#8221; on the U.S.
Meanwhile, the U.S. and China have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46133537/howard-lutnick-confirms-us-china-trade-agreement-reaffirms-white-houses-progress-to-close-deals-with-10-other-trading-partners">finalized</a> a trade agreement, building on discussions held in Geneva last month. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick confirmed the deal, noting plans to secure agreements with ten other major trading partners.
Trump's tariff preference is not new. In a 1988 interview on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Trump voiced his frustration with U.S. allies, asserting that they should &#8220;pay their fair share&#8221; in trade relations with the United States. He specifically pointed to Japan and Kuwait as examples of nations benefiting at the expense of the U.S.

Trump Says July Tariff Deadline Not Set In Stone: 'We Can Do Whatever We Want'

Tesla Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has reached a significant milestone in autonomous driving technology. The company successfully completed its&nbsp;first fully autonomous delivery of&nbsp;a Model Y.
What Happened: Tesla CEO&nbsp;Elon Musk&nbsp;announced on Saturday that the EV giant achieved a milestone by completing the&nbsp;first fully autonomous delivery of&nbsp;a Model Y.
"The first fully autonomous delivery of a Tesla Model Y from factory to a customer home across town, including highways, was just completed a day ahead of schedule!!" Musk said in a post on the social media platform X.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">The first fully autonomous delivery of a Tesla Model Y from factory to a customer home across town, including highways, was just completed a day ahead of schedule!!

Musk credited the achievement to the efforts of the&nbsp;Tesla AI&nbsp;teams, responsible for both software and AI chip design.
He added that during the journey, there were no individuals inside the vehicle, nor were there any remote operators controlling it. Musk emphasized that this is, to the best of their knowledge, the first instance of a fully autonomous drive on public highways without any human presence or remote operation.

Why It Matters: This achievement follows a series of advancements in Tesla&#8217;s autonomous driving technology. Earlier this year, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42894743/tesla-ceo-elon-musk-says-fsd-will-be-safer-than-human-drivers-in-q2-2025">Musk revealed</a> that Tesla&#8217;s Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology would surpass human driving safety by the second quarter of 2025. He predicted that FSD would eventually become ten times safer than human drivers, reducing the likelihood of accidents significantly.
In January, Tesla <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43295163/elon-musk-says-unsupervised-full-self-driving-begins-as-tesla-can-now-drive-itself-from-factory-to-loading-docks">announced</a> a breakthrough, stating that its vehicles could autonomously navigate from the factory to loading docks without human intervention, which was the precursor to the current achievement.

Elon Musk Reacts After Tesla Completes Autonomous Delivery Of Model Y: From Factory To Customer Home Across Town, Through Highways

The Donald Trump administration is preparing a set of executive actions to bolster the U.S. artificial intelligence (AI) sector, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45805623/palantir-ceo-warns-us-china-ai-race-will-have-one-winner-urges-west-to-keep-up">aiming to outpace China</a> in the global AI race.
What Happened: The administration's proposed actions aim to ease power grid constraints and expedite data center construction, both crucial to supporting AI development, reported Reuters, citing sources familiar with the matter.
The initiatives include facilitating power-generating projects&#8217; connections to the grid and offering federal land for data center construction.
The moves are intended to address the growing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46117348/meta-secures-more-clean-energy-for-power-hungry-ai-and-data-center-growth">electricity demand driven by AI</a>, which is projected to increase U.S. power demand five times faster than anticipated by 2029.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46135663/marc-benioff-says-ai-now-handles-up-to-50-of-work-at-salesforce-could-an-ai-agent-eventually-take-over-his-job">Marc Benioff Says AI Now Handles Up To 50% Of Work At Salesforce — Could An AI Agent Eventually Take Over His Job?</a>
Power demand from AI data centers could surge over 30-fold by 2035, the report noted, citing Deloitte.
The White House is also set to release an AI action plan, with a nationwide &#8220;AI Action Day&#8221; slated for July 23 to highlight the report's recommendations.
Why It&#8217;s Important: The surging demand for AI is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45816468/ai-data-centers-are-eating-electricity-and-these-3-energy-stocks-could-be-the-biggest-winners-says-analyst">transforming the energy landscape</a>, fueling growth for independent power producers (IPPs) like Constellation Energy Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEG#NASDAQ">CEG</a>), Vistra Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VST#NYSE">VST</a>) and NRG Energy Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NRG#NYSE">NRG</a>).
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) expects electricity use in the country to keep rising through 2025 and 2026, reaching new record levels, mainly due to increased demand from commercial and industrial users like data centers.
ICF International predicts that U.S. electricity needs could jump by 25% by 2030 and soar by 78% by 2050.

Trump's AI Power Play—Executive Orders Aim To Outpace China, Rewire US Grid In Fight For Tech Supremacy: Report

Jim Cramer&nbsp;expressed concerns on Monday about&nbsp;Palantir Technologies Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) experiencing a significant stock decline, questioning if it was a result of the Russell index rebalance.
What Happened: Palantir's stock price plunged by over 10% on Friday, amid easing tensions in the Middle East and a possible pullback after a recent bull run in the stock.
Despite this drop, Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings show Palantir's shares rank in the 98th and 97% percentiles on Momentum and Growth, respectively. Click&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>&nbsp;for deeper insights into the stock.

CNBC's "Mad Money" host Cramer wondered if the fall in Palantir stock could be due to a rebalance by FTSE Russell in its U.S. indices.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Cramer&#8217;s post comes after he recently praised Palantir, suggesting it has the potential to be valued at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46134364/palantir-is-a-200-stock-masquerading-as-144-says-jim-cramer-highlights-new-nuclear-operating-system-microsoft-endorsement">$200 per share</a>, despite its current trading levels.
During his analysis, Cramer also highlighted Palantir&#8217;s new nuclear operating system and endorsement from&nbsp;Microsoft Corp.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>).

Why It Matters: The stock market often reacts to index rebalances, which can cause volatility.

Despite the recent drop, the stock remains up approximately 93% year-to-date.
Moreover, Palantir&#8217;s innovative approach, particularly its Forward Deployed Engineer model, has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/46109638/microsoft-ceo-satya-nadella-praises-palantirs-fde-model-as-fantastic-insiders-say-its-not-consulting-it-builds-the-product-customers-need">received praise</a> from industry leaders like&nbsp;Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft.

Palantir Stock Price Falls Over 10%: Jim Cramer Wonders If It Was A Casualty Of Russell Rebalance Days After Calling It A $200 Stock

Dave Ramsey, founder and CEO of Ramsey Solutions and a well-known radio host, has offered some tough advice to pet owners who are facing financial difficulties in keeping their pets alive.
What Happened: Ramsey recently addressed a difficult question from a listener who was struggling with the financial burden of their pet&#8217;s medical bills, according to a report <a href="https://www.thestreet.com/personal-finance/dave-ramsey-has-blunt-words-on-spending-money-to-keep-a-dog-alive">by</a> The Street.
The listener, identified as Jeff, disclosed that he and his wife have an annual household income of $127,000. They were faced with expensive veterinary bills for their elderly dog, prompting them to question how much they should be willing to spend to keep their pet alive.
Ramsey, a self-proclaimed dog lover, acknowledged the emotional difficulty of the situation. He stated, &#8220;That being said, this little animal that I love like crazy is still … a dog,&#8221;
Ramsey said that his children and grandchildren would take priority over his pets when it comes to spending money to keep them alive, cautioning against the risk of the pet&#8217;s well-being being overshadowed by the owner&#8217;s emotions.
He advised that if the pet&#8217;s condition can be improved with a reasonable amount of money, it may be worth it. However, he strongly advised against going into debt or causing financial strain to keep a pet alive.

Why It Matters: Ramsey&#8217;s advice on this issue is consistent with his overall approach to personal finance. He has previously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45496493/dave-ramsey-shares-four-money-lessons-every-child-should-learn-money-comes-from-work-not-from-other-people">offered guidance</a> to high-earning individuals who struggle with financial discipline, emphasizing the importance of living within one&#8217;s means.
His recent advice also aligns with his previous comments about the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/45753871/man-calls-dave-ramsey-for-guidance-because-he-has-no-savings-despite-earning-200k-annually">financial responsibility </a>of pet ownership.

I truly prefer this dog to most people, I really do.&#8221;
However, he made it clear that his love for his pet does not justify going into debt to cover expensive medical procedures.

Dave Ramsey Has Blunt Advice On How Much To Spend To Keep A Pet Dog Alive: 'I've Seen People Spend Tens Of Thousands Of Dollars…'

The Supreme Court has altered how birthright citizenship policies can be challenged in court. The ruling, authored by conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett, limits the judiciary&#8217;s power to issue nationwide injunctions against presidential directives.
What Happened: The Supreme Court&#8217;s 6-3 decision, announced on Friday, impacts the enforcement of birthright citizenship policies. The ruling restricts judges&#8217; ability to block President Donald Trump&#8217;s policies across the nation, although it does not immediately enforce his directive on birthright citizenship, according to a Reuters report.
Trump welcomed the ruling, asserting it enables his administration to advance policies like the birthright citizenship executive order, which he claims were unjustly obstructed. The decision requires lower courts to reevaluate the extent of their injunctions.
&#8220;This morning, the Supreme Court has delivered a monumental victory for the Constitution,&#8221; President Trump said <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114756147615303122">in</a> a post on Truth Social, adding that this is a &#8220;big day.&#8221;

The ruling did not address the legality of Trump&#8217;s policy, which seeks to deny citizenship to children born in the U.S. without at least one American citizen or lawful permanent resident parent. The policy can take effect 30 days after the ruling.
Liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor criticized the decision, labeling it a &#8220;travesty for the rule of law&#8221; and highlighting the potential unconstitutionality of Trump&#8217;s order. The case underscores the ongoing debate over the judiciary&#8217;s authority to issue universal injunctions against presidential policies.
Why It Matters: The Supreme Court&#8217;s decision follows a series of legal challenges against Trump&#8217;s birthright citizenship policy. In February 2025, U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/02/43512657/trump-rejected-federal-judge-says-executive-order-against-birthright-citizenship-will-cause-irreparable-harm">issued an injunction</a>, citing potential irreparable harm.
Earlier, in January 2025, Judge John Coughenour in Seattle temporarily<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43181433/trumps-birthright-citizenship-order-halted-by-judge-blatantly-unconstitutional"> blocked the order</a>, deeming it &#8220;blatantly unconstitutional.&#8221;
Trump, who pledged in a 2023 campaign video his<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/05/32640194/trump-calls-for-abolition-of-birthright-citizenship-once-again-will-issue-executive-order-on-day-1-i"> intent to abolish birthright citizenship</a> if re-elected in 2024, as highlighted in a campaign video.

Supreme Court Hands Trump A 'Monumental Victory' As It Limits Judges' Power To Block President's Birthright Citizenship Order

Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) Original Films' "F1: The Movie," starring Brad Pitt, has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/45829682/pro-drivers-give-brad-pitts-f1-movie-the-thumbs-up-its-300-million-budget-makes-it-one-of-the-most-expensive-films-ever-made">exceeded expectations</a>, banking $10 million in previews and is on track for a $115 million global opening, while "M3GAN 2.0" is off to a slower start.
What Happened: Directed by Joseph Kosinski, the Formula One racing drama's preview earnings include $7 million from Thursday night shows and $3 million from sneak screenings, <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/brad-pitt-f1-fire-up-box-office-m3gan-2-1236301336/">reported</a> The Hollywood Reporter.
Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>) is distributing and promoting Apple's big summer movie, which is expected to open with at least $115 million worldwide thanks to IMAX and premium screen deals.
However, its production costs are high, exceeding $200 million before marketing expenses.

F1 is expected to easily outpace Blumhouse and Atomic Monster's "M3GAN 2.0," which brought in $1.5 million from Thursday night previews, the report said.
The Comcast Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>) subsidiary Universal Studios' sequel is projected to open domestically with around $20 million — about $10 million less than the first M3GAN's impressive $30.4 million debut in December 2023, which included $2.75 million in preview showings.
The original film went on to make $117.7 million in North America and $226.3 million worldwide, all on a modest $12 million production budget, not accounting for inflation.
Why It's Important: F1's preview earnings have already surpassed those of &#8220;Ford v Ferrari,&#8221; the biographical racing drama set at the iconic Le Mans endurance race.
That film, featuring Matt Damon and Christian Bale, brought in $2.1 million from previews before achieving a respectable three-day North American debut of $3 million.
"F1: The Movie" marks a pivotal moment for Apple as it tries to break into the competitive theatrical market, after previous <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/03/37558754/apples-1b-gamble-on-3-blockbusters-analyzing-box-office-results-streaming-impact-and-oscar-nominatio">box office disappointments</a> like "Killers of the Flower Moon" and "Napoleon."
Despite Apple's vast financial power — with a market value of $3 trillion and annual earnings close to $100 billion — its video arm, which covers Apple Original Films and Apple TV+, hasn't <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/06/46142591/apples-f1-movie-burns-300-million-still-waiting-on-a-profit">made money since it started</a> in 2017.
Apple TV+ has also found it challenging to capture a meaningful share of the market. Although it has around 45 million subscribers, it reportedly represents under 1% of overall U.S. streaming viewing and still loses over $1 billion each year.
Price Action: According to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>, Apple's stock has dropped 17.54% so far this year and is down 6.08% over the last 12 months.
Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings indicate that Apple's shares continue to show a declining trend over 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 performance insights can be found here</a>.

Snowcap Compute, a semiconductor startup developing superconducting AI chips, <a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250623688438/en/Snowcap-Compute-Launches-with-%2423-Million-Led-by-Playground-Global-to-Power-the-Next-Era-of-AI-and-Quantum-Compute">announced</a> a $23 million seed round on Monday. According to <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/snowcap-compute-raises-23-million-superconducting-ai-chips-2025-06-23/">Reuters</a>, the company is backed by Playground Global and led by former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger, who will also serve as board chair.
The funding round also included Cambium Capital and Vsquared Ventures.
The startup aims to create high-performance computing platforms that require significantly less power than current-generation chips. Snowcap said its superconducting architecture will deliver 25 times better performance per watt compared to existing AI systems.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Aiming for Radical Gains in AI and Quantum Computing</h2>
Snowcap Compute's superconducting chips are designed to operate with zero electrical resistance and require cryogenic cooling to function, according to Reuters. The company said the chips are being developed to reduce electricity consumption in artificial intelligence computing, a sector facing increasing energy demands.
Nvidia&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) upcoming Rubin Ultra server, expected in 2027, is projected to consume around 600 kilowatts of power—about two-thirds of the monthly electricity use of a typical U.S. household, Reuters reported.
Snowcap CEO Michael Lafferty, formerly with Cadence Design Systems (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CDNS#NASDAQ">CDNS</a>), told Reuters that the performance-to-power ratio of Snowcap's architecture justifies the energy spent on cooling. "We're pushing the performance level way up and pulling the power down at the same time," he said.
Snowcap plans to release a basic chip by the end of 2026. Full system deployments will follow at a later stage. The chips will be manufactured in a conventional factory using niobium titanium nitride sourced from Brazil and Canada, Reuters reported.

He called it his first public investment as general partner at Playground Global and said the company's technology could address compute bottlenecks and "push the boundaries of what is possible with silicon."

Scott Galloway had a plan: sell his company, take $25 million, raise another $250 million, and become a billionaire. But then he stopped to think about it. &#8220;Why would I want back on this hamster wheel of stress?&#8221; he asked on a recent episode of his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=736vqEuvNq0">podcast</a>, &#8220;Office Hours.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Chasing Money, Losing Time</h2>
Galloway, a business professor, entrepreneur and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45748195/i-bought-netflix-at-12-and-sold-at-10-now-its-at-1100-says-scott-galloway-hates-when-people-only-post-their-wins-online">investor</a>, said he realized the pursuit of more wealth would just cost him time, peace of mind and family moments. &#8220;I&#8217;ve been doing nothing but working for a quarter century,&#8221; he said. After hitting his personal financial target, he made a different choice: spend on what brings joy, pay people well, and give the rest away.
&#8220;I hit my number eight years ago,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And I decided there&#8217;s just no reason why I would ever need to be a billionaire.&#8221;

</ul>
&#8220;Every year I look at my number,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;Anything above that number, I do one of two things: I either spend it or I give it away.&#8221;
He added, &#8220;It feels amazing to spend money and to give it away.&#8221; He owns a plane and refuses to let money prevent him from enjoying life. When friends can&#8217;t afford to join, he covers the cost himself, saying it gives him satisfaction.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Billionaire Trap</h2>
His shift in mindset mirrors that of Andrew Wilkinson, a Canadian entrepreneur who told his own story in the 2024 book, &#8220;Never Enough.&#8221; Wilkinson became a billionaire after building the tech conglomerate Tiny, but eventually saw the limits of wealth.
After nearly partnering with legendary investor Charlie Munger, Wilkinson said he turned it down. The thought of chasing another level of wealth no longer appealed to him.
Both Wilkinson and Galloway reached a similar conclusion. Once you have enough, more doesn&#8217;t necessarily improve your life. In fact, it can increase stress.

Galloway recalls the fear he felt in 2008 when his first son was born during the financial crisis. &#8220;All I felt was shame and fear,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I thought, I&#8217;ve failed this kid. I don&#8217;t have enough money.&#8221; That fear stayed with him until he reached financial security.
&#8220;Happiness is not only a function of the things you have,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It&#8217;s a function of the things that you don&#8217;t have—specifically, an absence from stress.&#8221;
