Microsoft Corp. co-founder and billionaire Bill Gates <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39613049/tesla-ceo-elon-musk-divulges-his-publicly-traded-stock-portfolio-and-its-in-stark-contrast-to-that-o">wishes that</a> Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk would talk more about climate change but the latter might not.
What Happened: &#8220;He talks a lot. I hope he will talk more about climate,&#8221; Gates, known for his contributions to solving climate change, said with a laugh in an<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CLwNnpNGxc"> interview</a> with Bloomberg on Thursday. 
When asked by Bloomberg's Senior Executive Editor for Energy, Climate and Equality, John Fraher, as to what he would like Musk to talk about when he talks about climate, Gates said, &#8220;I don&#8217;t think he&#8217;ll listen to anybody telling him what to talk about. So. You know, he&#8217;s unique and he&#8217;ll talk about whatever he feels like.&#8221;
Gates also applauded Musk in the interview, commending his efforts in driving the car industry towards electric vehicles. Musk&#8217;s Tesla is the world&#8217;s largest battery electric vehicle seller with 443,956 EVs sold in the second quarter alone. 
Musk&#8217;s Take On Climate Change: Musk, however, thinks that climate change risk is &#8220;overstated in the near-term.&#8221;
&#8220;Climate change risk is overstated in the near-term, but probably accurate in the long-term,&#8221; Musk wrote on X in June while adding that industries must reduce carbon emissions into the atmosphere.
&#8220;What people do on the surface is essentially irrelevant,&#8221; Musk said while adding that taxing dairy farmers for the emissions released by their cattle as proposed by the country of Denmark &#8216;won&#8217;t matter&#8217; for climate change.

Why It Matters: Gates and Musk have a strained relationship, mostly owing to Gates' <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/07/39607932/exclusive-tesla-shorts-were-profitable-this-year-until-shareholders-approved-musks-pay-package-exper" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">short position in Tesla stock</a>. "Once Tesla fully solves autonomy and has Optimus in volume production, anyone still holding a short position will be obliterated. Even Gates," Musk said earlier this month.
Gates, however, has also previously applauded Musk. In an appearance on CNBC in 2021, Gates said, "We need more Elon Musks."
Both Gates and Musk are among the top five rich people around the globe. While Musk tops the chart with a total net worth of $264 billion, Gates is in the fifth position with a total net worth of $160 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

Bill Gates Wants Elon Musk To Talk About Climate But Tesla CEO Thinks Climate Change Alarm Is Exaggerated: 'He'll Talk About Whatever He Feels Like'

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) has offloaded approximately 33.9 million shares of Bank of America (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), equivalent to around $1.48 billion, as per a regulatory filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC.)
What Happened: The transactions were executed this week, bringing down Berkshire Hathaway&#8217;s ownership to about 999 million BofA shares. The Charlotte, North Carolina-based bank lists Berkshire as one of its biggest shareholders.
Berkshire, under the leadership of Buffett, holds a diverse portfolio of bank investments, encompassing stakes in Wells Fargo &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>) and JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>).
The conglomerate first invested in Bank of America in 2011, purchasing $5 billion of preferred stock and warrants to buy 700 million common shares, at a time when many investors were apprehensive about the bank&#8217;s capital requirements.

Why It Matters: This move is in line with Berkshire&#8217;s recent trend of trimming its holdings in various companies. In Q1 2024, Berkshire <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/05/38965414/5-stocks-that-warren-buffetts-berkshire-hathaway-has-been-trimming">reduced its stakes in five major companies</a>, including a significant sale of over 116 million shares of Apple Inc.
In June, Berkshire <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39356657/warren-buffetts-berkshire-hathaway-further-reduces-position-in-this-tesla-rival-an-investment-ch">further reduced its stake</a> in China-based electric vehicle maker BYD Co Ltd., fetching proceeds of HK$ 310.5 million ($39.8 million). This was part of a series of small quantity offloads of BYD shares over the years.
Price Action: Bank of America Corp.'s shares closed 0.26% lower at $42.90 on Friday. Berkshire Hathaway Inc.'s Class A shares fell 1.63% to $652,040, while Berkshire Hathaway Inc.'s Class B shares closed 1.66% lower at $434.47, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Sells 33.9M Bank Of America Shares, Worth $1.48B

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk on Friday said that the EV company was affected by the recent global IT outage which gave a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39870321/tesla-ceo-elon-musk-blasts-satya-nadella-after-microsoft-crowdstrike-issue-takes-down-millions-of-co"> &#8216;seizure&#8217; to the automotive supply chain. </a>
What Happened: A software update of U.S. cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike Holdings&#8216; (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>) Falcon platform on Thursday night led to widespread disruptions in Microsoft Corp&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) systems, pushing critical global services such as airports, ports, financial institutions, and hospitals to a standstill. The issue stemmed from the CrowdStrike update conflicting with Microsoft&#8217;s Windows operating system, leading to a blue screen of death (BSOD) issue for Windows users. 
Musk on Friday said that the disruption in Microsft systems gave a &#8220;seizure&#8221; to the automotive supply chain. The CEO confirmed in a post on X that Tesla deleted Crowdtrike from all of its systems but it was still affected as many of its suppliers and logistics companies &#8220;unfortunately&#8221; use it.

Elon Musk Says Tesla Deleted CrowdStrike From Its Systems But Was Not Untouched By Global IT Outage: 'Unfortunately, Many Of Our Suppliers...Use It'

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk slammed Microsoft Corp.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) Satya Nadella following the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39870313/microsoft-crowdstrike-issue-caused-largest-it-outage-in-history-showing-how-much-we-depend-on-a-hand">massive IT outage</a> caused by a faulty update pushed out by CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>).
What Happened: Musk slammed Nadella, saying, "This gave a seizure to the automotive supply chain."
This comes after Nadella posted a statement on social media platform X, formerly Twitter, saying that the company is working with its clients to bring their systems back online <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39854612/windows-pcs-crash-worldwide-with-users-experiencing-blue-screen-of-death-issue-crowdstrike-updat">after the outage</a> caused by CrowdStrike.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk Blasts Satya Nadella After Microsoft-CrowdStrike Issue Takes Down Millions Of Computers Globally: 'This Gave A Seizure To The Automotive Supply Chain'

What Happened: The Microsoft-CrowdStrike incident has affected businesses worldwide, including airlines, banks, media, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39853528/microsoft-cloud-outage-grounds-flights-disrupts-operations-of-frontier-allegiant-and-sun-country">even 911 services</a>, and has highlighted the extent of our reliance on a few key companies.

Overdependence On Few Companies: The widespread outage caused by this incident also shows how much the world&#8217;s critical infrastructure depends on companies like Microsoft and CrowdStrike.
&#8220;You&#8217;re starting to see more instances where a mistake happens, it cascades, and then all of a sudden, the public is going to feel it, whether it&#8217;s a canceled medical procedure or their flight stuck on the tarmac,&#8221; Chris Cummiskey, CEO of Cummiskey Strategic Solutions and a former official with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/it-outage-reminds-us-of-dependency-on-few-tech-companies-2024-7">told</a> Business Insider.
According <a href="https://www.statista.com/topics/1003/operating-systems/">to</a> Statista, the Windows operating system accounts for 72% — or 3 out of every 4 computers in the world – while Apple's macOS has a 15% share. This is one of the reasons why the Microsoft-CrowdStrike issue had such a large-scale impact on business across industries.
Why It Matters: The outage has underscored the potential risks associated with the world&#8217;s reliance on a few key companies for critical services. The incident has affected a wide range of industries, including healthcare, finance, and transportation, raising concerns about the potential impact of such widespread reliance.
CrowdStrike is a cybersecurity company based out of Austin, Texas. It provides cloud protection and endpoint security services and is deployed on the computer systems of a large number of organizations around the world, as Friday's IT outage has shown.

Microsoft-CrowdStrike Issue Caused 'Largest IT Outage In History,' Showing How Much We Depend On A Handful Of Companies

President Joe Biden on Friday slammed former President Donald Trump over the contents of his speech at the Republic National Convention in Milwaukee earlier this week, including the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39854007/trump-says-he-will-end-the-electric-vehicle-mandate-on-day-one-days-after-tesla-ceo-elon-musks-endor">latter&#8217;s promise of ending a so-called &#8220;EV mandate.&#8221;</a>
What Happened: Biden said in a thread on X that he had the &#8220;distinct misfortune&#8221; of watching Trump&#8217;s speech as he is home with COVID. The president went on to dispute the key points in Trump&#8217;s speech including the latter&#8217;s promise of ending the EV &#8216;mandate&#8217; on day one of his potential future presidency. 
&#8220;He said he'll end the "electric vehicle mandate" on day one. Donald, there is no electric car mandate,&#8221; Biden wrote on X. 
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

Trump on Thursday referred to the Biden administration's aim to ensure that a majority of new passenger cars and light trucks sold in the United States are all-electric or hybrids by 2032 as the &#8220;EV mandate,&#8221; claiming that Biden is attempting to take away the choice of purchasing gasoline-powered cars from American customers. 
Biden Disputes Trump On Unions, Manufacturing Jobs: The President also slammed Trump for his call for the resignation of the United Auto Workers (UAW) union chief&nbsp;Shawn Fain.
&#8220;He attacked unions, and it's not the first time. Not even close,&#8221; Biden said while adding that he is the &#8220;most pro-worker president in history.&#8221; 
&#8220;Donald doesn't know a damn thing about protecting workers and their rights. He should be ashamed,&#8221; the president added.
Trump on Thursday told the crowd gathered at Fiserv Forum that he would bring all manufacturing jobs back into the U.S. by forcing foreign players to build plants in America and employ U.S. workers, failing which they will be imposed with heavy tariffs. 
Biden disputed the claim of America having lost manufacturing jobs under his leadership saying that American manufacturing has only boomed under him. &#8220;Donald, look at the facts. With my bipartisan legislation, manufacturing jobs are booming with nearly 800,000 new jobs. Trump promised the same in 2016 and failed,&#8221; Biden wrote. 
Biden, overall, summed his thoughts on Trump&#8217;s speech with, &#8220;What the hell was he talking about?&#8221;
&#8216;Trump Wants To Be A Dictator&#8217;: Biden alleged on Friday that Trump wants to be a dictator and reminded people of the time when COVID was at its peak and Trump called on people to inject bleach. Biden also alleged that Trump proposed cutting Social Security and Medicare every year he was in office despite his claims of wanting to protect them. 
Trump&#8217;s Project 2025 will raise taxes on the middle class and cause more inflation, he added.

Why It Matters: As per a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39853944/biden-vs-trump-ex-president-takes-commanding-national-lead-as-democratic-support-for-incumbent-crumb">recent CBS News/YouGov survey</a>, which collected responses from 2,247 registered voters nationwide between July 16-18 after the shooting incident at Trump&#8217;s Pennsylvania rally, the former President increased his lead over Biden with the latest tally standing at 52%-47% in the former's favor. 
This five-point lead would be his largest national lead over Biden in the presidential election campaign so far, the pollster said. "It's been 20 years since a Republican presidential candidate has won the national popular vote, and over 30 years since a Republican won by more than five," CBS News' report said.
Two-thirds of the registered voters said Trump's handling of the July 13 assassination attempt has not changed their consideration, while 26% said it has made them more likely to consider the former president. 7% said it has made them less likely to consider him.

Biden Claps Back After Trump's EV 'Mandate' Comments At RNC: 'What The Hell Was He Talking About?'

Billionaire entrepreneur Richard Branson disclosed his most significant business failure- Virgin Cola&#8211; and the crucial lesson it imparted in a recent podcast. 
What Happened: Branson, the founder of the Virgin Group, revealed on the &#8216;Work-Life With Adam Grant&#8217; <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/qa/podcast/richard-branson-on-saying-yes-now-and-figuring-it-out-later/id1346314086?i=1000659299425">podcast</a> that the failure of Virgin Cola, a soda launched by his company in 1994, taught him a valuable lesson. Despite initial success in the U.K., the product failed to maintain its position, particularly in the U.S. market, leading to its eventual closure.
Branson shared that the failure of Virgin Cola, which was intended to challenge industry giants Coca-Cola (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>) and Pepsi (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEP#NASDAQ">PEP</a>), taught him the importance of seeing oneself as an underdog.
"People quite like the underdog," he said. "You don't always want to be the smarta&#x2A;&#x2A; that is successful." The key point, he said, is trying again after a failure.
&#8220;It was a lot of fun, it didn&#8217;t do the brand any harm, it taught us some lessons. I think the main lesson was if you are going to take on a giant, make sure you are much better than them,&#8221; the billionaire added on the podcast published on Thursday. 
Why It Matters: Branson&#8217;s<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39542884/virgin-group-co-founder-richard-branson-reveals-the-worst-career-advice-he-ever-received"> Virgin Group controls over 400 companies</a> in various fields including music, aircraft, and space travel. His popular companies include the Virgin Atlantic Airlines and space tourism company Virgin Galactic. 
However, a few of his business ventures have also failed including Virgin Cola and Virgin Cars. Branson&#8217;s rocket company Virgin Orbit<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/04/31648397/richard-bransons-space-dreams-crash-as-virgin-orbit-files-for-bankruptcy"> went bankrupt </a>last year despite going public in 2021 with a $4 billion valuation. 
According to Forbes, Branson has a net worth of $2.6 billion.

Billionaire Richard Branson Once Tried Taking On Coca-Cola, Which Turned Out To Be His 'Most Notable Failure:' He Says It Taught Him That People 'Quite Like The Underdog'

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said on Friday that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39516687/elon-musks-spacex-wins-843m-contract-for-historic-nasa-mission">deorbiting of the International Space Station (ISS) </a>and its subsequent burning up during re-entry into Earth&#8217;s atmosphere will be &#8220;a very dramatic event&#8221; with the sky over the Pacific showing streaks of light resembling shooting stars. 
What Happened: &#8220;This will be a very dramatic event. Sky full of shooting stars, albeit over an empty region of the Pacific (but we will still get great video),&#8221; Musk wrote on X about the ISS&#8217;s disposal scheduled for around 2030.

NASA&nbsp;chose SpaceX&nbsp;to develop and deliver the U.S. Deorbit vehicle (USDV) to deorbit the space station and ensure a lack of risk to populated areas in late June. SpaceX will develop the deorbit spacecraft under the contract valued at $843 million and NASA will take ownership afterward and operate it through the mission.
The space agency said in a statement on Wednesday that the deorbit spacecraft would move the station out of orbit and into a remote area of an ocean at the end of its operations around 2030.
Both the spacecraft and the station are expected to break up through the process of re-entry into Earth's atmosphere. Any remnants will subsequently fall harmlessly into the ocean.
Talking about the hardships involved in the process, Musk said that it will be &#8220;harder than it may seem.&#8221;
&#8220;ISS has pretty low max thrust limits, as the solar arrays are very floppy, but requires a high total impulse to deorbit with precision,&#8221; the CEO said on Friday.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Why It Matters: Which launch vehicle will launch the deorbiting spacecraft into space has not been ascertained to date.
However, the deorbiting vehicle will be launched about one and a half years before the final re-entry burn, ISS program manager&nbsp;Dana Weigel&nbsp;said in a media teleconference on Wednesday. The crew will stay on&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/36885276/starlab-to-launch-in-single-flight-before-iss-shutdown-thanks-to-spacexs-starship" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">board the station</a>&nbsp;until 6 months before the final re-entry, they added.
Once the ISS reaches an altitude of about 140 miles, the USDV will "perform a series of burns to set us up for that final deorbit, and then four days later it will do the final re-entry burn," Weigel said.
The spacecraft designed for the deorbiting of the space station will have six times more propellant and four times the power of its Dragon spacecraft, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39831791/spacex-unveils-iss-deorbit-vehicle-design-resembling-dragon-spacecraft-with-6x-more-propellant-and-4">SpaceX said </a>earlier this week. A conceptual image of the vehicle shared by the company also shows certain resemblances to SpaceX&#8217;s Dragon spacecraft. 
The ISS, which was launched in 1998, &nbsp;is operated by space agencies from the U.S., Europe, Japan, Canada, and Russia. All countries except Russia have committed to operating the station until 2030. Russia has only pledged to participate until 2028.

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk Says Safe Destruction Of International Space Station Will Be A 'Very Dramatic Event:' 'Sky Full Of Shooting Stars'

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump engaged in a phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, discussing potential peace plans amid the ongoing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/russia-ukraine-war">Russia-Ukraine conflict</a>.
What Happened: Trump and Zelenskyy deliberated on possible steps toward a peace deal. Trump commended Zelenskyy for initiating the conversation and reiterated his commitment to ending the violence between Russia and Ukraine.
"President Zelenskyy of Ukraine and I had a very good phone call earlier today."
On the matter of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, Trump said, "I appreciate President Zelenskyy for reaching out because I, as your next President of the United States, will bring peace to the world and end the war."
"Both sides will be able to come together and negotiate a deal that ends the violence and paves a path forward to prosperity."
Zelenskyy confirmed the discussion on social media platform X, formerly Twitter, expressing gratitude to the U.S. for its support in Ukraine&#8217;s resistance against Russian aggression. He also hinted at a potential in-person meeting with Trump to further discuss peace plans.

Given Ukraine&#8217;s heavy reliance on American military aid to combat the Russian invasion since 2022, this call is seen as a strategic move by Zelenskyy. He aims to maintain Trump&#8217;s support, especially if Trump defeats President Joe Biden in the upcoming November elections.

Trump Boasts 'Very Good' Phone Call With Zelenskyy, Says Russia-Ukraine Will 'Come Together And Negotiate A Deal That Ends The Violence'

The stock market is on the brink of a historic sell-off, according to renowned black-swan investor Mark Spitznagel. He has issued a stark warning about the potential collapse of the &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39284305/stock-market-bubble-could-lead-to-monster-buying-opportunity-says-wall-street-veteran">greatest bubble</a> in human history.&#8221;
What Happened: Spitznagel, known for his successful bets on market-moving &#8220;black swan&#8221; events, in an <a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/investing/greatest-bubble-nearing-its-peak-says-black-swan-manager-6f531740">interview</a> with the Wall Street Journal on Friday, reiterated his bearish outlook on the stock market. He compared the ongoing market rally to the dot-com bubble of the late 90s, which ended <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/23/02/30737519/hedge-funder-who-made-4-000-in-2020-crash-sends-dire-warning-again">in a significant crash in 2000.</a>
&#8220;You don&#8217;t feel like a fool for making a bearish argument.&#8221;
The current bubble&#8217;s burst could have more severe consequences due to the U.S. government&#8217;s $34 trillion debt, he said, comparing the current market situation to a &#8220;mega-tinderbox-time bomb.&#8221; This debt, he believes, would hinder the Federal Reserve&#8217;s ability to prevent a recession in time.
&#8220;I think we&#8217;re on the way to something really, really bad — but of course I&#8217;d say that.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Spitznagel, whose Universa Investments <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/05/38961339/black-swan-fund-warns-not-to-be-excited-for-fed-rate-cuts-since-itll-be-when-the-greatest-credit-bub">fund profited heavily</a> from the 2008 market crash, the 2015 flash crash, and the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, has been cautioning about a potential crash since January 2023. He now believes that the timeline for the impending crisis is clearer, and a recession could be looming by year-end.
Spitznagel&#8217;s warning adds to a growing chorus of voices predicting a market crash. In June, economist Harry Dent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/06/39257592/economist-warns-crash-of-a-lifetime-is-coming-predicts-s-p-500-to-plummet-86-from-t">predicted an &#8220;everything&#8221; bubble</a> that could surpass the severity of the Great Recession. Similarly, in July, economist John Higgins suggested that a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39748555/stock-market-bubble-burst-if-trump-wins-2024-election-says-top-economist-policies-would-jeopardi">Trump presidency could trigger an early burst</a> of the AI stock rally.
Despite these warnings, some experts see the potential market crash as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39284305/stock-market-bubble-could-lead-to-monster-buying-opportunity-says-wall-street-veteran">buying opportunity</a>. Chief Investment Officer Richard Bernstein suggested that the most expensive stocks in the market are likely overvalued and could be heading for a correction, presenting a significant buying opportunity for other areas of the market.

Black-Swan Investor Says 'Greatest Bubble In Human History' Is On The Verge Of Bursting, Calls Stocks 'Mega-Tinderbox-Time Bomb'

American rapper Meek Mill has seemingly joined the long list of celebrities to own a Cybertruck. But unlike the others on the list, the rapper also teased a song named after Tesla Inc&#8216;s stainless steel electric truck.
What Happened: Mill released a short snippet of a music video on Instagram last week. The video features two Cybertrucks parked facing each other and Mills confirmed that the song is titled&#8230;.&#8221;Cybertruck.&#8221; The video also features the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class and the Lamborghini Urus.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/19223524/Screenshot-2024-07-20-at-8.05.00%E2%80%AFAM-1024x439.png" alt="" class="wp-image-446829" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Credit: Instagram/MeekMill</figcaption></figure>
While it is unclear if either of the two Cybertruck in the music video belongs to Mill, the rapper seemingly owns a Cybertruck himself. New Jersey-based vehicle customizer Car Effex posted a video earlier this week of Mills driving away in a customized, matte black-wrapped Cybertruck.

The accident did not seemingly deter the rapper from making another EV purchase. 
Why It Matters:&nbsp;The Cybertruck&#8217;s stainless steel body allows no exterior paint. However, customers can wrap the truck, either with wraps available at Tesla&#8217;s online shop, or more individualistic wraps from third-party customizers. The clear and paint films available on Tesla shop are priced between $5000-$6500.
Tesla started delivering the Cybertruck in November. Since then, several celebrities and popular names have taken delivery of it including&nbsp;Justin Bieber,&nbsp;Jay-Z&nbsp;and&nbsp;Beyonce,&nbsp;Serena Williams, and&nbsp;Lady Gaga.
The celebrity status of the Cybertruck is likely due to the vehicle&#8217;s unconventional design, high price point, and the few units available on the road. The vehicle pricing starts at $79,990 for the all-wheel drive version and $99,990 for the more premium Cyberbeast version. A lower-priced rear-wheel drive version of the truck will be&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38130429/new-cybertruck-orders-will-only-be-delivered-in-2025-says-tesla-website" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">available in 2025</a>, as per the company website, starting at $60,990.
Tesla is currently scaling the production of the Cybertruck and aims to make 250,000 annually by 2025. The company has touched a weekly production rate of 1,300 Cybertrucks, Musk said at Tesla's annual shareholder meeting in June. The EV maker is looking to increase it further this year to touch 2,500 units by year-end,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39330272/tesla-ramping-up-cybertruck-production-to-touch-2-500-units-per-week-non-foundation-series-to-start" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;the CEO added</a>.

Elon Musk Reacts As Rapper Meek Mill Flexes His All-Black Cybertruck Ahead Of His New Song Named After Tesla's EV Truck

Meta Platforms Inc. CEO Mark Zuckerberg has applauded former President Donald Trump&#8216;s handling of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39761846/trump-left-bloodied-after-shots-fired-at-pennsylvania-rally-evacuated-by-secret-service">recent assassination attempt</a>, terming it &#8220;bad&#x2A;&#x2A;s&#8221; in a recent interview.
What Happened: Zuckerberg did not endorse Trump or any other candidate for the forthcoming elections. In an <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-07-19/mark-zuckerberg-calls-donald-trump-badass-without-endorsing-for-president">interview</a> with Bloomberg, he reiterated that Meta would persist in reducing political content in users&#8217; feeds, in response to users&#8217; preference for less of it.
Speaking on the attempt on Trump's life, Zuckerberg had a few words of praise for the former president, despite the latter's feelings towards the Meta CEO not being as warm.
"Seeing Donald Trump get up after getting shot in the face and pump his fist in the air with the American flag is one of the most bad&#x2A;&#x2A;s things I&#8217;ve ever seen in my life."
"As an American, it&#8217;s, like, hard to not get kind of emotional about that spirit and that fight, and I think that that&#8217;s why a lot of people like the guy."

Zuckerberg&#8217;s remarks come at a time when the role of Big Tech in politics is under scrutiny. He reaffirmed Meta&#8217;s commitment to limiting political content on its platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and Threads.
While Zuckerberg&#8217;s praise for Trump has attracted attention, his comments on Meta&#8217;s position on political content could have more profound implications for the company&#8217;s role in future elections.
Why It Matters: The relationship between Trump and Zuckerberg has been fraught with tension. The former president <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39723781/trump-threatens-to-jail-metas-mark-zuckerberg-and-election-fraudsters-if-re-elected-dont-do-it-be-ca">had previously stated </a>on Truth Social that he would like to see Zuckerberg and other &#8220;election fraudsters&#8221; in prison if he were to be re-elected.
A few days later, Meta <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39759624/meta-removes-heightened-penalties-on-donald-trumps-accounts-a-day-after-ex-president-threatens-to-pu">lifted the additional restrictions</a> previously imposed on Trump&#8217;s accounts.
