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.

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.

In April, the rapper expressed frustration over the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/04/38331377/tesla-recalls-over-3-800-cybertrucks-citing-unintended-acceleration-risk">recall of over 3,800 Cybertrucks</a> owing to concerns of unintentional acceleration and wrote, &#8220;Wassup with these cyber trucks because I had another brand electric car &#8216;not Tesla&#8217; do the same thing I crashed and got hurt bad&#8230;&#8221; The singer was driving a GMC Hummer EV.
&#8220;The airbags didn't even come out in a totaled car! Tesla has always been safe for me I tried some new shit and it almost killed me the first day!,&#8221; Mill added about the accident.

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."
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36710449/biden-mocks-trump-after-ex-president-mixes-up-nikki-haley-with-former-speaker-she-is-not-nancy-pelos?itm_source=parsely-api" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Biden Mocks Trump After Ex-President&#8217;s Campaign Rally Gaffe</a>
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.
Last year, Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/09/28744962/trump-says-weirdo-mark-zuckerberg-came-to-white-house-for-dinner-with-him-last-week-1">referred to Zuckerberg</a> as a &#8220;weirdo&#8221; during a rally. He also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/02/31063532/trump-lashes-out-after-report-of-zuckerberg-linked-groups-2m-donation-to-georgia-elections-board-why">called for Zuckerberg&#8217;s prosecution</a> following a report of links to the Georgia Election Board.

Markets Tremble Over Planned China Chip Restrictions, Trump's Election Odds Rise, CrowdStrike Triggers Global Tech Outage: This Week In The Market

Needham &amp; Co. analyst Mike Matson upgraded Haemonetics Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HAE#NYSE">HAE</a>) from Hold to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/hae/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Buy with a price target of $112.</a>



The analyst says that Haemonetics has reaffirmed its &#8220;high-20%&#8221; FY26 operating margin goal. To reach this, the company must improve by approximately 600 basis points from its FY24 margin of 21.1%, writes the analyst.



While the analyst earlier doubted the company&#8217;s ability to reach this target, the product mix analysis has <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">bolstered their confidence.</a>



The analyst has identified two key factors influencing the company&#8217;s gross margin, which includes the reduction in lower-margin Plasma sales to CSL and the expansion of higher-margin Interventional Technologies sales.



These factors alone could improve gross margins by about 400 basis points by FY26. Combined with 200 basis points of operating leverage, HAE should meet its 27%+ operating margin target by then, says the analyst.



Also, Matson says that the CSL headwind is manageable and already incorporated into consensus estimates.



The analyst anticipates multiple expansions as Haemonetics&#8217;s quarterly results demonstrate progress toward achieving its FY26 target.



Matson estimates EPS of $4.60 for FY25 and $5.53 for FY26.



Investors can gain exposure to the stock via Neuberger Berman ETF Trust Neuberger Berman Small-Mid Cap ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NBSM#NYSE">NBSM</a>) and SPDR S&amp;P Health Care Equipment (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XHE#NYSE">XHE</a>).



Price Action: HAE shares are up 4.55% at $87.21 at the last check Wednesday.
