A highly publicized ban of TikTok by the U.S. led to other apps getting caught in the crossfire, including a game featuring Marvel superheroes. Here's a look at what happened and what the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/01/43088960/trump-suspends-us-tiktok-ban-for-75-days-with-executive-order-but-legal-and-market-uncertainty-looms-over-platforms-future"> executive order signed</a> by President Donald Trump means for the game's future.
What Happened: The Supreme Court recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/01/43060894/supreme-court-upholds-tiktok-ban-ahead-of-trumps-inauguration">upheld a ban</a> on TikTok in the U.S., following a congressional ruling that parent company ByteDance would have to divest the U.S. division of the company by Jan. 19.
While TikTok <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43076609/tiktok-back-online-in-us-after-trump-vows-monday-executive-order">went dark briefly </a>over the weekend, an executive order signed by Trump provided an additional lifeline for ByteDance for 75 days.
Along with TikTok going dark on app stores from Alphabet Inc (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>) and Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) as part of the pending ban, other apps owned by ByteDance companies also disappeared from the stores and for a brief time were unusable.
This includes Marvel Snap, a mobile collectible card <a href="https://www.marvelsnap.com/home">game </a>that features characters from the Marvel Universe. The game was developed by Second Dinner and published by Nuverse, a ByteDance subsidiary, in 2022, as <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/news/2025/01/19/tiktok-ban-lemon8-capcut-marvel-snap/77825175007/">reported </a>by USA Today.
The game uses Marvel characters from the comic book company owned by Walt Disney Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>).
A search for Marvel Snap on the Google Play Store Tuesday brought up other Marvel titles with the app still <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/01/42957741/tiktok-ban-deadline-ahead-what-will-happen-to-app-on-your-phone">unavailable for download</a>. Existing owners of the app saw service restored in the U.S, as <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2025/1/20/24348353/marvel-snap-tiktok-ban-back-online">reported </a>by The Verge. The ban also impacted the PC version of the game, according to the company's announcement of the ban.
"Unfortunately, Marvel Snap is temporarily unavailable in U.S. app stores and is unavailable to play in the U.S. In a surprise to Second Dinner and our publisher Nuverse, Marvel Snap was affected by the takedown of TikTok late on Saturday, January 18," Second Dinner <a href="https://marvelsnapzone.com/marvel-snap-is-banned-in-the-united-states/">said </a>previously.
Second Dinner Chief Development Officer Ben Brode told followers on social media that no warning was given to the company or Nuverse that their app would be part of the ban.

</ul>
Why It's Important: The ban of ByteDance apps was a large talking point mainly around TikTok, but several other apps were hurt by the ruling and are now affected.
Along with Marvel Snap, here are some other apps that ByteDance owns or controls that faced a similar fate.
<ul>
<li>Lemon8: social media platform</li>
<li>CapCut: video editing software</li>
<li>Gauth: artificial intelligence homework aid</li>
<li>Hypic: photo editing software</li>
<li>Lark: enterprise collaboration platform</li>
</ul>
Based on the timing of the ban still pending, these apps and the Marvel game could continue to be disallowed in app stores and could go dark in the future.
Second Dinner is ready to ensure this doesn't happen again by making changes.
"Marvel Snap is back online in the U.S. But to make sure this NEVER happens again, we're working to bring more services in-house and partner with a new publisher. This is the start of a new era for Marvel Snap." the company <a href="https://x.com/seconddinner/status/1881535498709266691">shared </a>on social media.

As the oldest members of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42325436/despite-having-the-highest-income-gen-x-also-carries-the-most-debt-explaining-their-rock-bottom-consumer-sentiment">Generation X</a> (those born between 1965 and 1980) approach retirement, financial experts warn that many in this group may not be as prepared as they think. Generation X faces unique challenges as they prepare for retired life, from shortfalls in savings to unexpected costs that may arise.&nbsp;
Here's what experts say Gen Xers need to know to avoid these key pitfalls and ensure a more <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/41918104/are-you-on-track-to-retire-rich-heres-the-nest-egg-you-need-to-be-considered-a-wealthy-retiree">secure retirement</a>.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Look At Your Savings Goals</h2>
Many Gen Xers are significantly behind in their retirement savings. A recent study by Northwestern Mutual found that only 7% of Gen X respondents have saved more than 10 times their annual income–the amount most experts recommend for a comfortable retirement.&nbsp;
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>Many are using retirement income calculators to check if they&#8217;re on pace —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"> here&#8217;s a breakdown on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</a></li>
<li>Can you guess how many retire with a $5,000,000 nest egg? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/5mil-nest-egg-adv">The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
<li>The average 401(k) balance soars to a record-breaking high – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/average-401k-balances-soars-to-record-high">but what&#8217;s driving it?</a></li>
</ul>
Perhaps even more concerning, over half of Gen X respondents say they have only saved three times their annual income or less. Fidelity recommends having at least three times your annual salary by age 40, six times your salary by age 50 and eight times your salary by age 60 to stay on track for a comfortable retirement.&nbsp;
This shortfall in savings is compounded by the fact that many Gen Xers do not have a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/24/11/41702991/americans-worried-theyll-mess-up-retirement-income-planning-almost-half-fear-">retirement income plan</a>. According to Allianz, only 30% of Gen Xers have mapped out how they will fund their post-work years, the lowest rate among all generations surveyed.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Taxes and Healthcare Expenses</h2>
A common misconception among Americans is that taxes decrease in retirement. However, financial experts caution that many Gen Xers could face higher-than-expected tax burdens. The reason? Most have their retirement savings in tax-deferred accounts, like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/42154984/new-findings-show-iras-and-401ks-contribute-less-than-20-of-retirees-income">401(k)s and IRAs</a>, which require taxes to be paid upon withdrawal.&nbsp;
"The big problem is that a lot of them are going to be faced with a lot of taxes in retirement," Jonathan Dane, founder and chief investment officer for Defiant Capital Group in Pittsburgh, told U.S. News. He says one way to mitigate this is to stop putting money in tax-deferred accounts and transition to Roth accounts, which allow for tax-free withdrawals.

Another concern is healthcare costs. While Medicare provides comprehensive coverage starting at age 65, it doesn't cover everything. Long-term care expenses, like assisted living, typically aren't included. Experts suggest considering long-term care insurance or using a health savings account (HSA) to prepare for these costs.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Budgeting and Withdrawal Strategies</h2>
Financial planners warn that many Gen Xers don't clearly understand their spending habits. "They've been getting a paycheck for the last 40 years and they just don't know what they spend," Zach Ungerott of Hightower Wealth Advisors told U.S. News.
Knowing when and how much to withdraw from savings can make a significant difference. Starting withdrawals at age 59 ½ allows penalty-free access to funds in tax-advantaged accounts, but withdrawing too much too quickly risks prematurely depleting savings.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Updating Estate Plans and Investments</h2>
Many Gen Xers have outdated estate plans that don't reflect their current wishes. Reviewing and updating wills, beneficiary designations and other documents is essential to ensure assets are distributed as intended.
Investment strategies may also need adjustment. While Gen X has benefited from stock market gains, experts suggest diversifying into more stable assets like bonds or annuities to protect against market downturns.
With retirement on the horizon, Generation X has limited time to close savings gaps, reassess strategies and prepare for potential obstacles. Working with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-online-financial-advisors">financial professional</a> can help this generation create a plan tailored to their needs, ensuring they are better positioned for a secure retirement.

Here's How Much $100 Invested In Super Micro Computer 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

An executive order signed by President Donald Trump put an emphasis on ending electric vehicle plans put in place by former President Joe Biden and could put an end to the $7,500 tax credits that helped <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/electric-vehicles">boost the sector.</a>
What Happened: One of Trump's first tasks since becoming president <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/43090016/here-are-the-evs-which-could-lose-7500-ev-tax-credit-under-trump-administration">was to sign </a>the "Unleashing American Energy" executive order.
Trump's order says he is eliminating the "electric vehicle mandate" and also terminating the Green New Deal.
While Trump may need additional approval to end the $7,500 tax credit American consumers can currently get for buying numerous electric vehicle models, including several from Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), the order pauses the disbursement of funds that were part of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
The electric vehicle tax credits have helped boost sales of EVs over the past several years, including Tesla. Once a beneficiary of tax credits for his company, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has changed his tune about the credits in recent years.
Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39934750/trump-presidency-and-ira-cut-would-be-devastating-for-competitors-says-elon-musk-long-term-probably">said recently</a> that he was okay with the tax credits going away and has pledged his support to Trump, who he supported during the 2024 presidential election.
In a quarterly earnings call in July 2024, Musk said Trump winning the election and the end of the tax credits could be "devastating" for Tesla rivals, but would likely end up being a long-term positive for his company. &nbsp;
"Long term probably actually helps Tesla, would be my guess, yes," Musk said at the time.
With the potential of the EV tax credits going away, Tesla influencer Sawyer Merritt conducted a poll on social media platform X to see if people thought the move would help or hurt Tesla.
"Long-term is the U.S. EV credit disappearing bullish, bearish, or neutral for Tesla," Merritt asked.
Here are the poll <a href="https://x.com/SawyerMerritt/status/1881777072017649722">results</a>, based on 16,294 votes.
<ul>
<li>Bullish: 40.4%</li>
<li>Neutral: 27.5%</li>
<li>Bearish: 19.4%</li>
<li>See Results: 12.6%</li>
</ul>
The largest percentage of voters believe the EV tax credit going away would be bullish for Tesla. This is likely related to the belief that the move would be bad for most EV companies, but hurt Tesla's competitors more. Tesla has profitability per vehicle and vertical integration for manufacturing, which helps the company on costs and scale.
When asked for his opinion, Merritt said he was neutral on the potential change.
"Hard to argue that it's really bullish since Tesla is currently the largest beneficiary of the EV credit, but it disappearing I don't think will be a negative as some are suggesting. Tesla is no doubt in the strongest position to withstand the impact of it disappearing vs their legacy auto competition," Merritt said.

Why It's Important: Musk's stance on being against tax credits that help boost the market share of electric vehicle companies could be a surprise to many given his past support for the sector.
"Since the company's inception in 2003, Tesla's mission has been to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy," Tesla's website <a href="https://www.tesla.com/elon-musk">reads</a>.
Musk has said in the past that the acceleration of sustainable energy is fundamental to the future of humanity, as reported by <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/04/elon-musk-on-the-why-and-purpose-behind-tesla.html#:~:text=We%20created%20Tesla%20to%20accelerate,for%20humanity%2C%22%20Musk%20said.">CNBC</a>.
These days, Musk and Tesla are focusing heavily on autonomous vehicles which could be the next political move by the Trump administration. Trump<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/10/41298125/maybe-musk-missed-the-memo-trumps-plan-to-ban-autonomous-vehicles-could-sour-friendship"> previously said he </a>would ban autonomous vehicles from American roads.
Since then, Trump may have reversed his stance and come around to help boost the future of Musk's company by pushing autonomous vehicle testing forward and making Tesla's vision a reality.
Musk has watched his wealth soar <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/24/12/42444955/elon-musk-first-person-worth-400-billion-as-tesla-stock-hits-new-all-time-highs-how-2024-election-helped-could-lead-to-future-gains">to over $400 billion</a> since Trump won the 2024 presidential election.
While the new EV tax credit rules could be bad for the electric vehicle sector over time, the current president is likely going to be good for Musk and his company. The question is what the short and long-term impacts on Tesla will be. Based on the poll, investors don't seem too concerned about the potential loss of EV tax credits.
