Renowned economist Nouriel Roubini, nicknamed &#8220;Dr. Doom&#8221; for his pessimistic but often accurate predictions, warned Monday that financial markets are mistaken about the Federal Reserve&#8217;s willingness to step in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44677506/china-resolutely-opposes-trumps-50-tariff-threat-vows-countermeasures-as-trade-tensions-jolt-markets">amid escalating trade tensions</a>.
What Happened: &#8220;Markets have been delusional that Powell put strike price is above Trump&#8217;s put strike price. It is NOT!&#8221; Roubini wrote on X, referring to the price level at which the Fed would intervene to stabilize markets.
The Turkish-born American economist described a &#8220;three-way game of chicken&#8221; between President Donald Trump, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, and Chinese President Xi Jinping, with each waiting for the others to concede first.
The comments come as markets grapple with Trump&#8217;s tariff threats against China, including a potential 50% duty if Beijing doesn&#8217;t withdraw its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44677506/china-resolutely-opposes-trumps-50-tariff-threat-vows-countermeasures-as-trade-tensions-jolt-markets">recent 34% tariff on American products</a> by Apr. 8. China&#8217;s Commerce Ministry has vowed to &#8220;fight to the end&#8221; against what it called &#8220;a mistake on top of a mistake.&#8221;

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">A 3-way game of chicken is being played between Trump, Powell and Xi.

Powell acknowledged Friday that higher tariffs &#8220;will be working their way through our economy and are likely to raise inflation in coming quarters,&#8221; but emphasized the Fed&#8217;s focus remains on its dual mandate of <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/04/44661029/trump-and-fed-stand-firm-lack-of-a-put-could-drive-the-market-lower-very-quickly-warns-expert">maximum employment and stable prices</a>.

Craig Shapiro of 3-Circle Investments noted <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/04/44661029/trump-and-fed-stand-firm-lack-of-a-put-could-drive-the-market-lower-very-quickly-warns-expert">the market has been searching for either</a> a &#8220;Trump put&#8221; or &#8220;Fed put&#8221; but &#8220;was informed this past week that both puts are struck lower,&#8221; suggesting a potential &#8220;significant market downturn.&#8221;
Roubini criticized Trump&#8217;s negotiating approach, writing that &#8220;superior chess and poker players like [Russian President Vladimir] Putin and Xi are already out manipulating Trump,&#8221; adding that unlike his first term, Trump 2.0 has &#8220;mostly a bunch of wimpish sycophantic yes men &#8216;advisors'&#8221; who won&#8217;t challenge his &#8220;worst destructive policy instincts on trade.&#8221;
BlackRock Inc. CEO Larry Fink warned the tariffs would &#8220;freeze more and more consumption&#8221; in the broader economy, impacting not <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/04/44676213/trumps-tariffs-are-impacting-main-street-not-just-wall-street-blackrock-ceo-larry-fink-says">just Wall Street but Main Street</a>, where &#8220;62% of Americans now invest in equities.&#8221;

'Dr. Doom' Roubini Warns Markets 'Delusional' About Fed Rescue As Trump, Xi Jinping, Jerome Powell Locked In High-Stakes Standoff

In another interesting twist in the Satoshi Nakamoto saga, cryptocurrency lawyer James Murphy sued the U.S. government in an attempt to determine the identity of the pseudonymous Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) creator.
What happened: Murphy, known as MetaLawMan on X, said he filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security, seeking details about an interview DHS supposedly had with Satoshi.
Murphy&#8217;s case relied on assertions made by DHS Special Agent Rana Saoud at a 2019 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAOrjlub4Qc">conference </a>where she stated that DHS officers were able to find and interview Satoshi Nakamoto in California. She added that Satoshi was not alone in creating Bitcoin and that there were "three other people."

"It is entirely possible that the DHS Agent was mistaken and DHS did not interview the real Satoshi," Murphy said. "If DHS resists disclosure, I will pursue the case to conclusion to solve this mystery."
The DHS didn't immediately return Benzinga's request for comment.

Why It Matters: Satoshi Nakamoto is the alias for the person who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/who-is-satoshi-nakamoto">published the Bitcoin whitepaper</a> and is credited with establishing Bitcoin.

Crypto Attorney Sues US Government To Unmask Satoshi Nakamoto, Creator Of Bitcoin

Discount retailer Dollar Tree Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DLTR#NASDAQ">DLTR</a>) was riding high on Monday, ending the day up 7.8% following a surprise upgrade by Citi Research, which calls it one of the &#8216;silent beneficiaries&#8217; of the widespread trade tariffs imposed by the U.S. Government over the past week.
What Happened: In a somewhat surprising move, Citigroup analysts upgraded Dollar Tree to a &#8216;Buy&#8217; from their earlier &#8216;Neutral&#8217; stance. With a new price target of $103, which represents a 41% upside following its rally on Monday.
The move is surprising because, on the face of it, Dollar Tree seems one of the most exposed to the downsides of the tariffs. Especially, the mammoth 34% reciprocal rates imposed on China, from where it imports an estimated 40% of its merchandise, according to a recent analysis by KeyBanc Capital Markets.

The management itself <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42402629/trump-to-change-dollar-stores-for-good-dollar-tree-exec-says-prepared-to-act">commented late last year</a> that it would have to change product specs, pack sizes, and even phase out certain items if the tariffs were reimposed by the new administration.
However, Citi analysts led by Paul Lejuez believe that the higher tariff regime could provide the company with much-needed cover to increase its prices from the standard $1.25 to $1.50 or even $1.75, significantly boosting margins, and without any blowback since it comes at a time when everyone else will be raising prices.
Why It Matters: The Analysts further believe that the tariffs will hit the company&#8217;s rivals much harder, particularly the likes of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42780039/amazons-chinese-rivals-temu-and-shein-got-hit-hard-by-tariffs-in-this-country-is-it-a-sign-of-things-to-come-under-trump">Temu and Shein</a>, and a recession in the coming months should make Dollar Tree&#8217;s value credentials a lot more attractive among consumers. 
Besides this, the company&#8217;s decision to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/03/44505050/dollar-tree-sells-family-dollar-for-1-billion-truly-addition-by-subtraction-analyst-says">sell its Family Dollar segment for $1 billion</a> less than 2 weeks ago led to a broad bullish consensus among most analysts. The sale of the segment that was referred to by Evercore ISI analysts as &#8216;truly addition by subtraction.&#8217;
The average price consensus for the stock now stands at $82.85, with Citi at the high point of $103, which is rather impressive considering current market conditions.

According to Benzinga&#8217;s Edge Stock Rankings, Dollar Tree still features weak momentum and growth stats, scoring just 26 and 5, respectively. What about its competitor Dollar General?

Dollar Tree Surges Nearly 8% After Citi Upgrade: Analysts Say Tariffs Could Boost Margins, Not Hurt Them

China&#8217;s Commerce Ministry &#8220;resolutely opposes&#8221; U.S. President Donald Trump&#8216;s threat to impose additional 50% duties on Chinese imports and vowed to take countermeasures to protect its interests, intensifying trade tensions that have already <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44655719/trump-tariffs-erode-5-trillion-in-market-cap-in-2-days-as-china-retaliates-jerome-powell-warns-o">triggered market turmoil</a>.
What happened: The strong response came after Trump announced he would implement higher tariffs if Beijing doesn&#8217;t withdraw the 34% duty it placed on American products last week. Trump set an Apr. 8 deadline for China to reverse its position.
&#8220;The U.S. threat to escalate tariffs on China is a mistake on top of a mistake,&#8221; the Commerce Ministry said in a statement <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/08/china-resolutely-opposes-trumps-50percent-tariff-threat-vows-retaliation.html">translated</a> by CNBC. &#8220;China will never accept it. If the U.S. insists on its own way, China will fight to the end.&#8221;
The trade dispute has sparked volatility across global markets, with the S&amp;P 500 tracked by SPDR S&amp;P 500 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) falling 0.23% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average tracked by SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>) dropping 0.91% in Monday trading.

Why It Matters: BlackRock Inc. CEO Larry Fink rejected suggestions that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/04/44676213/trumps-tariffs-are-impacting-main-street-not-just-wall-street-blackrock-ceo-larry-fink-says">tariffs only impact Wall Street</a>, telling the Economic Club of New York that &#8220;62% of Americans now invest in equities — the market impact is impacting Main Street.&#8221; He warned the tariffs would &#8220;freeze more and more consumption&#8221; in the broader economy.
The dispute has particularly threatened technology sectors. Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives predicted U.S. tech <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42028788/ola-electric-shares-hit-new-all-time-low-again-whats-going-on">company earnings could decline by 15%</a> if the tariffs proceed as planned, with consumer electronics prices potentially rising 40-50%. &#8220;We assume tariff negotiations start now otherwise dark days are ahead for tech&#8230;and US consumers pay the price,&#8221; Ives wrote.
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has expressed concern over the &#8220;unexpected size&#8221; of Trump&#8217;s tariffs, warning they would likely drive higher inflation while slowing economic growth. JPMorgan has increased its recession <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44655719/trump-tariffs-erode-5-trillion-in-market-cap-in-2-days-as-china-retaliates-jerome-powell-warns-o">forecast to a 60% probability by year-end</a>.

China 'Resolutely Opposes' Trump's 50% Tariff Threat, Vows Countermeasures As Trade Tensions Jolt Markets: 'Will Fight To The End'

Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) has reportedly fired two employees who disrupted the tech giant's 50th-anniversary event on Friday after protesting the company's contracts with Israel and accusing its <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/04/44655911/microsoft-worker-disrupts-50th-anniversary-celebration-hurls-accusations-at-ai-ceo-mustafa-suleyman-while-calling-the-tech-giant-war-profiteer">AI CEO of war profiteering</a>.
What Happened: Ibtihal Aboussad and Vaniya Agrawal, both Microsoft employees, staged protests during the company's high-profile 50th-anniversary event in Redmond, Washington.
In an email sent to Aboussad, Microsoft condemned the disruption as &#8220;misconduct&#8221; and stated that Aboussad&#8217;s actions, including &#8220;finger-pointing&#8221; and shouting at Mustafa Suleyman, were inappropriate and aggressive enough to warrant being escorted out by security, <a href="https://www.theverge.com/news/644769/microsoft-fires-employee-protestor-war-profiteer">reported</a> The Verge.

The company described Aboussad&#8217;s actions as &#8220;designed to gain notoriety and cause maximum disruption&#8221; and noted that the protester had shown no remorse for the consequences of her actions. "You have shown no remorse for the effect that your actions have had and will have," the email read.
Aboussad was fired by Microsoft Canada, while Agrawal, who had already submitted her resignation, was let go shortly after the protest.&nbsp;

Microsoft previously responded to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comments, saying, &#8220;We provide many avenues for all voices to be heard. Importantly, we ask that this be done in a way that does not cause a business disruption. If that happens, we ask participants to relocate. We are committed to ensuring our business practices uphold the highest standards.&#8221;
Why It's Important: Aboussad interrupted a speech by Suleyman, calling him a &#8220;war profiteer&#8221; and demanding that Microsoft stop using AI for &#8220;genocide in our region.&#8221;
On the other hand, Agrawal disrupted the event later by confronting Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, former CEO Steve Ballmer, and current CEO Satya Nadella.
Both employees belong to &#8220;No Azure for Apartheid,&#8221; a group of Microsoft employees who have been rallying against the company's involvement with the Israeli government, the report noted.
Price Action: Microsoft (MSFT) shares slipped 0.55% on Monday. However, the stock rebounded in the after-hours session, gaining 0.74% to reach $360.50. Year-to-date, Microsoft&#8217;s stock has declined 14.51%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

The global cryptocurrency market capitalization stood at $2.52 trillion, marking a&nbsp; 1.75% increase in the last 24 hours.
The stock slide continued on Monday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average tanked 349.26 points, or 0.91%, to end at 37,965.60. The S&amp;P 500 fell 0.23%, ending at 5,062.25. In a silver lining, the tech-focused Nasdaq Composite inched 0.1% higher to end the session at 15,603.26.
The market experienced wild volatility in the early hours as media reports of Trump mulling a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44671308/stock-market-surge-evaporates-as-headline-roulette-plagues-traders-fake-news-white-house-says-in-response-to-90-day-tariff-pause">90-day tariff freeze</a> sparked a brief rise. However, major averages fell again once the White House dismissed the reports as untrue.
Later in the day, Trump <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2lhWk0HaB4">reiterated </a>that the administration was "not looking" to pause tariffs despite the ongoing market rout.

Another well-known research firm, Santiment, projected an "immediate bullish explosion" in the cryptocurrency market should the tariff landscape change, resulting in reduced or eliminated tariffs between countries.

Bitcoin, Dogecoin Gain, Ethereum Dips As Trump Remains Defiant On Tariff Push: Analyst Anticipates 'Immediate Bullish Explosion' In Crypto If This Happens

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) board member Kimbal Musk criticized President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariff policies Monday, calling him &#8220;the most high tax American President in generations&#8221; through his implementation of what Musk described as a &#8220;structural, permanent tax on the American consumer.&#8221;
What Happened: In a series of posts on X, Musk, the brother of Tesla CEO Elon Musk, argued that tariffs create a cycle of economic harm: &#8220;A tax on consumption also means less consumption, which means less jobs. Which in turn leads to less consumption. And then even fewer jobs.&#8221;
When asked why other countries would care about U.S. tariffs if American consumers bear the cost, Kimbal Musk responded: &#8220;Other countries care because a tax reduces consumption of their goods. Reduced consumption does not create more jobs in America. The net outcome is less jobs on both sides of the borders, and higher prices in America.&#8221;

Elon Musk's Brother Kimbal Musk Calls Trump 'Most High Tax American President In Generations,' Warns Tariffs Are A 'Permanent Tax' On US Consumers

The idea that youth holds the key to innovation isn't new, but Instagram co-founder and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44522899/anthropic-ceo-says-ai-could-write-90-of-code-in-3-to-6-months-warns-every-industry-will-be-affected">Anthropic </a>Chief Product Officer Mike Krieger is making a case for why entrepreneurs in their 20s might have a unique edge.&nbsp;
While some industry veterans agree, others argue experience and grit—not age—are what separate game-changing founders from the rest. Krieger believes young entrepreneurs are in a sweet spot—old enough to execute ideas but still connected to the trends shaping younger audiences.&nbsp;

&#8220;It's a very special time in your life,&#8221; he said in an interview on the<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tk-EI2yYT3A"> "EO" podcast</a>. &#8220;You're at the intersection of being a teenager, being really tuned into that, but also being able to create.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Does Youth Equal Innovation? Not Everyone Thinks So</h2>
This perspective has faced criticism, as some argue that experience plays a more significant role in entrepreneurial success than age.<a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/entrepreneurship/the-investor-betting-on-people-in-their-50s-and-60sbecause-older-is-better-f19fd19b">&nbsp;</a>
<a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/entrepreneurship/the-investor-betting-on-people-in-their-50s-and-60sbecause-older-is-better-f19fd19b">The Wall Street Journal</a> recently reported that investors increasingly recognize that older entrepreneurs have advantages such as industry connections, credibility, and deep expertise. This aligns with findings from an April 2018 study by the <a href="https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w24489/w24489.pdf">National Bureau of Economic Research</a> indicating that the average age of successful startup founders is around 45 years old.
The study analyzed 2.7 million startups and concluded that older entrepreneurs tend to build more resilient, scalable businesses. Still, Krieger's argument holds weight when considering consumer-driven industries.&nbsp;

Younger entrepreneurs, deeply embedded in digital culture, may be better positioned to identify trends before they peak—something Mark Zuckerberg proved when he launched Facebook at 19.
Historically, the debate isn't new. In the late 1990s, Steve Jobs famously criticized older executives, saying, &#8220;Innovation has nothing to do with how many years you've been around.&#8221; Yet, decades later, Amazon's Jeff Bezos built his empire in his 30s, and Warren Buffett didn't make the majority of his wealth until his 50s. The pattern? There isn't one.
Despite the age debate, one point most experts agree on is the value of relationships. Krieger recalled how interning at a startup solidified this for him. &#8220;It was full of people in their late 30s who had worked together three or four times since they were 20,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The relationships you build in your career will be the relationships you have over and over again.&#8221;

Silicon Valley is a prime example of this. PayPal's founding team, dubbed the &#8220;PayPal Mafia,&#8221; included Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and Reid Hoffman—who later built Tesla, Palantir, and LinkedIn, respectively. Their success wasn't just about youth or experience; it was about shared connections and learning from failures together.
Krieger also champions side projects, stating that they often fuel future success. &#8220;Not every step needs to make logical sense,&#8221; he emphasized, noting that seemingly unrelated experiences can later prove invaluable.&nbsp;
&#8220;There were definitely things I did where I thought, ‘Am I wasting my time here?' but later, they connected to the next thing I did.&#8221;&nbsp;
This aligns with how Slack started as a failed gaming company or how <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44590350/courtroom-clash-no-thank-you-sparks-lawsuit-as-altman-shuts-down-musks-97-4b-bid">X</a> emerged from a struggling podcasting platform. Unconventional paths often lead to groundbreaking ideas—whether you're 22 or 52.

Instagram's Mike Krieger Reveals A Surprising Key To Startup Success—'Not Every Step Needs To Make Logical Sense'

Joe Gebbia, billionaire co-founder of Airbnb (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABNB#NASDAQ">ABNB</a>) and current Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) board member, is back in the spotlight for joining the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency.
One of the agency&#8217;s goals is purportedly to overhaul the outdated, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43782511/its-like-a-time-warp-elon-musk-exposes-governments-1950s-retirement-system-still-processing-paperwork-by-hand-in-a-limestone-mine">paper-based federal retirement system</a> and replace it with something fast, modern, and, in his words, &#8220;beautifully designed.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Digital Makeover for a Paper-Based System</h2>
&#8220;We really believe that the government can be an Apple Store–like experience: beautifully designed, great user experience, modern systems,&#8221; Gebbia said during a recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZfotdjNi-M">Fox News</a> interview alongside Elon Musk and other DOGE team members.&#8221;We can use design to solve [problems] and good engineering and create a better experience for everybody.&#8221;
Right now, the process of retiring as a federal employee is stuck in the past—literally. The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/14/us/politics/slash-now-fix-later.html">reported</a> that the applications are handled using 28,000 filing cabinets stored in a limestone cave in western Pennsylvania, a system that&#8217;s been in place since the 1970s. According to Gebbia, the process still takes months to complete.
In the Fox News interview, Musk said DOGE ran into a bottleneck after offering early retirement packages to hundreds of thousands of workers, only to find the government could process just 8,000 retirements per month.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Gebbia Joins DOGE</h2>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44265658/billionaire-airbnb-founder-works-with-elon-musk-at-doge">Gebbia joined DOGE</a> earlier this year after a conversation with Musk and fellow team member Anthony Armstrong, a former Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) banker. &#8220;They told me something about a mine that dealt with retirement, and they said that they need somebody to help out to fix retirement in the government. I love the challenge, so I jumped on board.&#8221;
But not everyone is thrilled. As Forbes <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/suzannerowankelleher/2025/03/05/airbnb-distances-billionaire-cofounder-doge-musk/">reported</a> last month, news of Gebbia&#8217;s DOGE role has sparked backlash among Airbnb hosts and guests, with hundreds of negative comments appearing on the platform&#8217;s community portal. Some users have even threatened to stop using Airbnb. Complaints range from &#8220;I am extremely disturbed&#8221; to &#8220;Joe Gebbia cannot remain on the board.&#8221;

Airbnb has tried to calm the waters. Spokesperson Christopher Nulty told Forbes, &#8220;Joe is joining DOGE in his personal capacity&#8221; and emphasized that his &#8220;personal views don&#8217;t reflect the views of Airbnb or Airbnb.org.&#8221;
Gebbia has not had an operational role at Airbnb since 2022 but remains on the board. He also sits on the board at Tesla and is reportedly a close associate of Musk. According to Forbes, he holds a 7% stake in Airbnb, worth around $8.6 billion, and recently sold $30.4 million worth of Airbnb stock in February.
His political activity has also raised eyebrows. While his Airbnb co-founders Brian Chesky and Nate Blecharczyk have supported Democratic candidates, Gebbia donated tens of thousands to Libertarian causes and nearly $178,000 to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.&#8216;s campaign.

Airbnb Co-Founder And DOGE Employee Joe Gebbia Says, 'Government Can Have An Apple Store-Like Experience' That's 'Beautifully Designed'

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">It&#8217;s About Reciprocity, Not Isolation</h2>
O&#8217;Leary explained that this approach is part of a broader push to make tariffs reciprocal. According to him, many of these trade rules date back to World War II and Trump is now trying to balance them out across countries.
&#8220;What he really wants to do is bring the ratio of tariffs to be equivalent between England or Canada or Mexico or any country,&#8221; O&#8217;Leary said. &#8220;In the end, if they&#8217;re going to be reciprocal, that actually promotes free trade.&#8221;
He argued that equal tariffs on both sides of a trade deal are inefficient. &#8220;It&#8217;s stupid to have the same equal tariff on both sides of any country. It&#8217;s just dumb. And everybody knows that.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Canada&#8217;s Situation Is Political, Not Economic</h2>
O&#8217;Leary also pointed to Canada, saying the tension there is more about politics than trade. He claimed Canadian politicians are using anti-Trump sentiment to energize voters ahead of an upcoming election.
&#8220;They&#8217;re using Trump to get out the base to vote, anti-Trump everywhere,&#8221; O&#8217;Leary said. He specifically called out the Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, saying, &#8220;He&#8217;s using Trump as the fulcrum to try to stay in power, or at least his party stays in power.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">No Recession in Sight</h2>
Despite the noise, O&#8217;Leary said he doesn't see signs of an economic downturn.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t think this is going to cause a recession. I don&#8217;t see it in my own companies yet. And I think it&#8217;s going to be short-lived,&#8221; he said.
He added that some U.S. politicians are already calling for zero tariffs on both sides of the U.S.-Canada border. &#8220;As occurred just 48 hours ago when Sen. [John] Kennedy out of Louisiana said, &#8216;Hey, what, are we idiots here? Canadians, zero tariffs. U.S., zero tariffs.'&#8221;
In O&#8217;Leary&#8217;s view, this period of tariff tension is part of a longer process of rebalancing global trade, and not something that should spark panic.

Kevin O'Leary Doesn't Believe Tariffs Will Lead To A Recession, Says 'Trump Likes To Actually Let You Watch Sausage Being Made'

The S&amp;P 500 fell 0.7% and the Dow Jones dropped 342 points in Monday's volatile session marked by record intraday swings. Chamath Palihapitiya said the impact of Trump's tariffs is confined to Wall Street's wealthy investors while sparing Main Street Americans, but BlackRock Inc.

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink pushed back on the idea that Wall Street and Main Street are disconnected when he spoke to the Economic Club of New York on Monday.&nbsp;
&#8220;The reality is 62% of Americans now invest in equities — the market impact is impacting Main Street,&#8221; Fink said, per Reuters.&nbsp;
The tariffs and the resulting economic turmoil are "going to freeze more and more consumption, I think we&#8217;re going to start seeing that really quickly,&#8221; he added.&nbsp;
Why It Matters: The market is reacting to more than just portfolio risk, it is pricing in the potential for real economic damage. Tariffs hit the cost of goods directly, disrupt supply chains and weaken demand.&nbsp;
Journalist Matt Zeitlin <a href="https://x.com/MattZeitlin/status/1909225690672541705">explained on</a> Monday that tariffs are more than just a stock market issue, they are a pricing shock that hits sectors of the economy tied to credit, employment and everyday goods.&nbsp;

Trump's Tariffs Are 'Impacting Main Street,' Not Just Wall Street: BlackRock CEO Larry Fink Says

President Donald Trump&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44655719/trump-tariffs-erode-5-trillion-in-market-cap-in-2-days-as-china-retaliates-jerome-powell-warns-of-inflation">reciprocal tariff announcement</a> on April 2 shook financial markets as Wall Street and corporations braced for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44642355/trumps-25-auto-tariffs-spark-stellantis-layoffs-gm-expansion-uaws-shawn-fain-calls-job-cuts-completely-unnecessary">supply chain disruptions</a> worldwide. Even as the market closes roughly even on Monday, some believe the worst is yet to come.
Larry Fink&#8217;s Thoughts: Larry Fink, the billionaire CEO and co-founder of BlackRock, said many CEOs believe the U.S. is currently in a recession, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/07/ceos-think-the-us-is-probably-in-a-recession-right-now-says-blackrocks-larry-fink.html">according</a> to CNBC.
"Most CEOs I talk to would say we are probably in a recession right now," Fink said at the Economic Club of New York on Monday. &#8220;One CEO specifically said the airline industry is a proverbial bird in a coal mine — canary in the coal mine — and I was told that the canary is sick already."
The UCLA alum says that tariffs&#8217; stagflationary nature could put the Federal Reserve in a tough position in deciding to cut interest rates. While markets are pricing in up to four rate cuts in 2025, Fink believes inflation as a result of tariffs could restrict Fed Chair Jerome Powell.
Leon Cooperman&#8217;s Thoughts: Investor Leon Cooperman, the CEO of Omega Advisors, believes financial markets could experience even worse times ahead.
&#8220;I think there's too much confidence in the system … and we're correcting that right now. It's very clear to me the president has decided the best way to get inflation, interest rates down is to take a recession," Cooperman <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/07/leon-cooperman-says-market-bottom-is-not-in-as-trump-has-decided-a-recession-is-best-way-lower-rates.html">said</a> on CNBC Monday.
The New York native went on to say that he does not trust the current environment and is still accounting for significant levels of risk.
"What I'm looking for is companies to come out with disappointing statements,&#8221; Cooperman said. &#8220;Stocks trade down and close today, unchanged or up, and that tells me that the market has discounted the negative outcome."

CEOs, Wall Street Titans Brace For Sustained Market Downturn: 'There's Too Much Confidence In The System'

Shaquille O'Neal may be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44068159/nba-legend-shaq-says-his-net-worth-quadrupled-once-he-took-note-from-jeff-bezos-and-started-investing-in-things-that-change-peoples-lives">worth hundreds of millions now</a> and appear on everything from pizza boxes to gummies, but rewind to his college days at LSU and things looked a little different. Back then, the seven-foot phenom wasn't closing business deals—he was getting flunked in marketing class. And the reason? His professor told him, dead serious, "Big guys don't sell."
Yeah. That aged like milk.
In a 2013 interview with <a href="https://nickdepaula.com/SHAQUILLE-O-NEAL">Nick DePaula for Sole Collector magazine</a>, Shaq shared the moment that stuck with him. "I remember being in a marketing class one day and my professor said to me, ‘Big men can't sell. I don't know what you're doing in this class,'" O'Neal recalled. "I was so [expletive] pissed, I almost got out of the class. [Instead,] I wanted to learn all of the concepts." What came next was a masterclass in proving people wrong.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>‘Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">You can invest today for just $0.26/share with a $1000 minimum.</a></li>
<li>Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-intel">invest pre-IPO from $0.55 per share now</a>.</li>
</ul>
This wasn't just a bruised ego. The project that earned him that ‘F' was a prototype of the brand he'd eventually take global. In a 2021 appearance on "<a href="https://www.jordanharbinger.com/shaquille-oneal-circling-back-on-flat-earth-theory/">The Jordan Harbinger Show</a>," he told the story again, explaining, "The marketing teacher at LSU said, ‘Give me something, product, or something that you can see sold in the future.' So you know me, I came up with Shaq hats, Shaq shoes, Shaq shirts… He embarrassed me in class. He said, ‘All I see is you put a lot of originality in this,' and gave me an F in front of everybody."
Why? According to the professor, "When you <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44380108/trust-me-im-reading-what-hes-doing-every-day-nba-legend-shaq-with-a-500-million-net-worth-swears-by-warren-buffetts-investing-wisdom">look at the nature of marketing</a> and NBA, big guys never sell."
The professor couldn't have been more wrong.
Not only did Shaq go on to dominate the league, but he turned himself into one of the most marketable athletes in history. His iconic "Dunkman" logo—originally inspired by Jordan's famous silhouette—was something he trademarked himself in college after learning about intellectual property. "I went down to the Baton Rouge office and I trademarked my dunk. It cost me like $60," he told Sole Collector.
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/startengine-own">The $1.3 billion startup investment boom: How this company's explosive growth is opening doors for everyday investors with a new $500 minimum</a>
That logo? It's now been stamped on everything from sneakers to sports gear, helping him move over 400 million pairs of shoes globally, according to a <a href="https://youtu.be/UnaxjPugBwM?si=eUpwNuQWrDQ304tL">2021 interview on the "Full Send Podcast</a>."
And these aren't $200 boutique kicks either. Shaq made a point to keep his shoes affordable, selling them at Walmart for $19 to $29 per pair. "It's not that kids don't want to wear $20 shoes," he said. "They don't want to wear shoes that look like they cost $20."
The idea was sparked <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42715996/nba-legend-shaq-abandoned-a-40-million-reebok-shoe-deal-after-a-lady-confronted-him-over-high-price-tag-maam-i-dont-make-the-prices">when a mother confronted him about the price</a> of his Reebok line. "That day, I cut ties with Reebok," Shaq said on "Full Send."&nbsp; "I said keep the money… this ain't right. I'll still wear the shoes I do during the season, but I'll be looking to do my own thing. So, I started the Shaq brand. I went to my favorite store, Walmart, and we did a deal."
See Also: This 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>
Since then, his brand has become a quiet empire. Millions of kids have laced up affordable Shaq sneakers. At an average price of just over $25 a pair, that's roughly $10 billion worth of shoes sold. Not bad for a guy who supposedly couldn't sell.
And Shaq's influence didn't stop at footwear. He's now invested in everything from fast food and fitness centers to tech companies. The man even has a PhD. But it's the marketing lesson that stuck—ironically, from the class where he got an ‘F.'
"I knew I was good, I thought I was going to be great," he said. "And it was my job and my people's job to convince [the brands] that I was going to be great and convince them to want to sell the product."
It worked.
What started as a class project became a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44319385/shaq-makes-his-6-kids-pitch-a-business-plan-if-they-want-cash-you-want-me-to-be-the-bank-im-gonna-do-exactly-what-the-bank-is-going-to-do">global business model</a>—and a reminder that professors don't always get it right. Shaq turned a failing grade into a billion-dollar lesson in betting on yourself. Turns out, big men can sell.
