Meta Platforms, Snap, Amazon, IBM, Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Meta Platforms&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) CEO&nbsp;Mark Zuckerberg&nbsp;has acknowledged pop star&nbsp;Taylor Swift&#8217;s debut on his social media platform Threads during the company&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/04/38416273/meta-platforms-q1-earnings-highlights-facebook-owner-beats-estimates-but-guidance-higher-costs-ding">first-quarter financial results</a> announcement.
What Happened: On Wednesday, in his opening statement, Zuckerberg, mentioned <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/10/35431135/are-reports-of-metas-threads-death-greatly-exaggerated-mark-zuckerberg-says-the-twitter-killer-has-a">the growth of Threads</a>, with over 150 million monthly active users. 
He then went on to specifically highlight Swift&#8217;s entry on the platform saying, &#8220;And of course my daughters&nbsp;would want me to mention&nbsp;that Taylor Swift is now&nbsp;on Threads — that one&nbsp;was a big deal in&nbsp;my house.&#8221;

Swift joined Threads on the&nbsp;same day (April 19) her new album,&nbsp;The Tortured Poets Department (TTPD), was released. Zuckerberg welcomed her to the platform with a reference to her song &#8220;Blank Space,&#8221;&nbsp;saying, &#8220;Nice to meet you,&nbsp;where you been?&#8221; At the&nbsp;time of writing, Swift had&nbsp;over 9.3 million followers on&nbsp;Threads.

Why It Matters: This isn&#8217;t the first time Zuckerberg has shown his admiration for Swift. In 2023, he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/07/33477808/zuckerberg-has-bad-blood-with-musk-but-love-story-with-taylor-swift-attends-concert-with-be">attended one of her concerts</a> with his family,&nbsp;posting about it on Instagram&nbsp;with the caption &#8220;Life of a girl dad.&#8221; 
At the time, the Meta CEO was not only there to accompany his family but sported a flurry of friendship bracelets on his wrist, which has become trademark accessories&nbsp;of any true &#8220;Swiftie.&#8221; On top of that, his face was adorned with what seemed to be small sequins or rhinestones arranged in a circle.

Mark Zuckerberg Gives Shoutout To Taylor Swift's Debut On Threads, Says 'That One Was A Big Deal In My House'

Edward Snowden has slammed the U.S. Department of Justice&#8217;s recent actions against app developers, advocating for financial privacy in a recent social media post.
What Happened: On Tuesday, Snowden took to X, formerly Twitter, to express his disapproval of the Department of Justice&#8217;s recent actions. He tweeted, &#8220;The Department of &#8216;Justice&#8217; has once again criminalized the developers of an app that restores financial privacy. The way to fix this it to make money private by default. Privacy must never be &#8216;exceptional,&#8217; or they will make it criminal.&#8221;

This post came in response to the recent arrest and charges against the founders and CEO of a cryptocurrency mixing service. 
The founders and CEO of cryptocurrency mixing service, Samourai Wallet, have been arrested and charged with money laundering and unlicensed money transmitting offenses. The charges stem from the company&#8217;s alleged involvement in over $2 billion in unlawful transactions and more than $100 million in money laundering transactions.
According to the United States Department of Justice, Keonne Rodriguez, CEO and co-founder of Samourai Wallet, and William Lonergan Hill, CTO and co-founder, were arrested on Wednesday. The charges arise from the defendants&#8217; development, marketing, and operation of a cryptocurrency mixer that facilitated illegal transactions from dark web markets, such as Silk Road and Hydra Market.
U.S. Attorney Damian Williams stated that Rodriguez and Hill knowingly facilitated the laundering of over $100 million of criminal proceeds from various illegal activities. The U.S. will seek Hill&#8217;s extradition from Portugal to stand trial in the United States, he was arrested in the European Union country on Wednesday morning.

Why It Matters: Snowden&#8217;s tweet reflects his ongoing support for financial privacy, particularly in the context of cryptocurrency. He has previously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/01/36751582/edward-snowden-supports-legal-fund-for-tornado-cash-co-founder-roman-storm-privacy-is-not-">endorsed a legal defense fund</a> for Roman Storm, co-founder of Tornado Cash, a cryptocurrency mixing service embroiled in legal issues. Snowden has been vocal in his belief that &#8220;Privacy is not a crime.&#8221;
This recent post from Snowden also aligns with the views of former U.S. Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, who has argued that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/12/36190138/vivek-ramaswamy-thinks-penalizing-tornado-cash-mixer-was-illegal-and-unconstitutional">penalizing an entire protocol</a> or way of doing business is illegal and unconstitutional. Ramaswamy has specifically criticized the Treasury Department&#8217;s decision to sanction Tornado Cash.
These events highlight the ongoing debate around financial privacy, particularly in the realm of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), and the legal challenges faced by companies operating in this space.

Edward Snowden Slams Justice Department For Action Against Samourai Wallet Co-Founders: 'The Way To Fix This Is To Make Money Private By Default'

In a recent development, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has lambasted President Joe Biden for the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, suggesting it served as a &#8220;green light&#8221; for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
What Happened: McConnell expressed his disapproval on Fox News&#8217;s &#8220;America&#8217;s Newsroom&#8221; following the Senate&#8217;s approval of an aid package for Ukraine after a long delay, <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/international/4619508-mcconnell-hits-biden-for-sending-a-green-light-to-putin-with-afghanistan-withdrawal/">reported</a> The Hill.
McConnell asserted that the Afghanistan exit was a major misstep by Biden, indicating weakness globally. McConnell has consistently opposed the withdrawal since 2021, describing it as &#8220;one of the worst foreign policy decisions in American history.&#8221;
&#8220;We kept the lid on terrorism there. We shouldn't have withdrawn the troops,&#8221; said McConnell in the Fox interview. &#8220;When we did, that was like sending a green light to Putin, who was already thinking seriously about moving his troops up against the border."
Post-withdrawal, Russia invaded Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has frequently requested more aid from a divided Congress. The recently approved package will provide $61 billion to Ukraine for its war.

Trump: One Candidate Outperforms His 2020 Numbers As The Other Loses Support Among 2 Key Voter Categories</a>
Why It Matters: The U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan has been a contentious issue. Gen. Frank McKenzie, former commander of the U.S. Central Command, warned of an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38016471/former-top-general-sounds-alarm-on-rising-isis-threat-to-us-bemoans-bidens-afghanistan-withdrawal">escalating ISIS threat</a> to the U.S. following the withdrawal.
President Biden, at the time, defended his decision, arguing that remaining in an endless war was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/21/08/22524333/biden-defends-afghanistan-withdrawal-blames-kabuls-fall-on-afghan-military-leaders-and-trump">not in the best interests</a> of the American people.
However, Secretary of State Antony Blinken admitted in 2023 that the U.S. was not <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/04/31709570/blinken-says-us-wasnt-fully-prepared-for-afghanistan-crisis-as-white-house-puts-blame-on-donald-trum">fully prepared</a> for the fall of Kabul.
Recently, Russia warned of a &#8216;humiliating fiasco&#8217; for the U.S. in its support for Ukraine, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/04/38349780/russia-foresees-humiliating-fiasco-for-us-in-ukraine-support-kremlin-drops-vietnam-and-afghanistan-r">drawing parallels</a> with Vietnam and Afghanistan.

Biden's Afghanistan Exit Slammed By Mitch McConnell: 'Like Sending A Green Light' To Russian President

The U.S. Supreme Court is preparing to review a case on Thursday that questions if former President Donald Trump can assert immunity from prosecution for actions carried out during his term in office.
What Happened: This case is the first of its kind where the Supreme Court is examining an appeal from one of Trump&#8217;s four criminal indictments. Trump&#8217;s defense, which claims immunity from prosecution even post-presidency, has been rejected by two lower courts previously, <a href="https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4618415-supreme-court-to-consider-whether-president-trump-is-immune-from-prosecution/">reported</a> The Hill.
Three justices on the bench, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett, were nominated by Trump. However, the court&#8217;s verdict could potentially challenge Trump&#8217;s assertion that he should not be prosecuted.
Critics argue that a ruling favoring Trump could disrupt the balance of power in the U.S., giving undue authority to presidents during and after their term. Conversely, Trump maintains that the presidency cannot operate without immunity, as it would expose officeholders to extortion and unfair retribution.
&#8220;It's so fundamental to the presidency, where a president is truly trying to corrupt the system and perpetuate himself in office,&#8221; said John Dean, former White House counsel to President Richard Nixon, according to the report.
Jack Smith, the special counsel leading the federal prosecutors, argues that presidents, like all citizens, should be accountable for their actions. He dismisses the idea that this would weaken presidential power.

Will He Go To Prison? — Here&#8217;s How It&#8217;s Likely To Play Out</a>
The Supreme Court&#8217;s decision timing could greatly affect the progress of Trump&#8217;s other criminal cases, particularly if he regains the presidency in the forthcoming election. The case is also being monitored for its potential impact on the scheduling of Trump&#8217;s trials.
Legal experts have observed that the lower courts&#8217; strong disapproval of Trump&#8217;s arguments might suggest a similar reaction from the conservative-majority Supreme Court. The justices&#8217; position will become more apparent when they convene on Thursday.
Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s Supreme Court case, focusing on presidential immunity amid criminal charges for election interference, had strategic implications. While the Court might not fully support Trump&#8217;s immunity claim, a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38348880/donald-trump-could-still-win-even-if-he-loses-in-supreme-court-over-presidential-immunity-claim">redirection to a lower court</a>, potentially delaying proceedings, aligned with his interests. The case, involving false election certificates submitted by Trump, could have seen further delays and nuanced rulings regarding presidential immunity.
Adding to the complexity, Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38262159/trumps-request-to-attend-supreme-court-hearing-barrons-high-school-graduation-denied-by-hush-money-t">request to attend</a> the Supreme Court arguments was denied amidst his ongoing hush money trial in New York, as reported by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38262159/trumps-request-to-attend-supreme-court-hearing-barrons-high-school-graduation-denied-by-hush-money-t">Benzinga</a> earlier this month.

Trump's Presidential Immunity Claim Under Supreme Court Review: 'It's So Fundamental To The Presidency'

Former President Donald Trump&#8217;s close allies, including Boris Epshteyn, Mark Meadows, and Rudy Giuliani, have been indicted by an Arizona grand jury. The indictment pertains to their alleged involvement in attempts to overturn the 2020 election results.
What Happened: The Arizona grand jury handed down an indictment against several individuals associated with Trump&#8217;s 2020 campaign. These individuals stand accused of trying to subvert the election results, including the fraudulent electors from Arizona, <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2024/04/24/politics/arizona-criminal-charges-2020-election-subversion/index.html">reported</a> CNN on Wednesday.
Among the indicted are Epshteyn, a former White House aide and one of Trump&#8217;s closest advisers, former White House chief of staff Meadows, and former New York Mayor Giuliani, as per a source familiar with the investigation, according to CNN .

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes announced the indictment on Wednesday night, focusing on the 11 individuals who acted as pro-Trump electors in the state. The names of several other indicted defendants remain redacted until they have been served, Mayes stated.
While Trump himself has not been charged in Arizona, the indictment details suggest he is referred to as &#8220;Unindicted Coconspirator 1&#8221;.
Why It Matters: The indictment of Trump&#8217;s allies in Arizona marks a significant development in the ongoing legal battles surrounding the 2020 election. 
In an interview with Fox News in August 2023, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga), a staunch Trump supporter, suggested that the ex-president could potentially <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/08/33956035/marjorie-taylor-greene-says-donald-trump-may-face-fifth-indictment-in-arizona?itm_source=parsely-api">face a fifth indictment</a>, this time in Arizona, based on a similar alleged fraudulent elector scheme aimed at undermining President Joe Biden&#8217;s narrow victory in the state.

Trump Allies Giuliani, Meadows Indicted By Arizona Grand Jury For Alleged 2020 Election Subversion — Ex-President Possibly 'Unindicted Co-conspirator 1': Report

APDN

Trading Halt: Halted at 7:50:00 p.m. ET - Trading Halt: Halt News Pending

WNBA star Brittney Griner is sharing her story for the first time about spending 10 months in a Russian prison in a special edition of 20/20.
In a clip of the emotional interview, Griner shared her experience of having been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/22/03/26007231/breaking-russia-detains-wnba-all-star-brittney-griner-for-alleged-possession-of-hash-oil">arrested and incarcerated</a> after a small amount of cannabis oil was found in her suitcase at a Moscow airport. At the time, Feb. 17, 2022 — just one week before Russia invaded Ukraine — Griner was heading back to Russia where she played for seven years during the off-season from her U.S. team, a center for the Phoenix Mercury.
"I was just so scared for everything because there&#8217;s so much unknown," Griner <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/wnba-star-brittney-griner-opens-harrowing-russian-detention/story?id=109495984">told</a> ABC's&nbsp;Robin Roberts,&nbsp;co-anchor of&nbsp;Good Morning America.
Roberts asked Griner what was going on in her mind when she realized that the cannabis cartridges were found in her luggage. Griner, a medical marijuana patient in the U.S., said she realized immediately that her mistake could have devastating consequences.
"My life is over right here," Griner answered. 
Griner admitted that the conditions were so terrible that she had thoughts of ending her life. "The mattress had a huge blood stain on it. I had no soap, no toilet paper. That was the moment where I just felt less than a human," she told Roberts. "I just didn&#8217;t think I could get through what I needed to get through.&#8221;

Brittney Griner Talks For The First Time About Her Russian Detention In Exclusive '20/20' Special

For the first time in more than 130 years, voters will likely choose between two candidates with presidential experience for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">2024 presidential election.</a>
Here's a look at who voters in swing states currently favor in a 2020 election rematch of Donald Trump and Joe Biden.
What Happened: A close race is expected between Biden and Trump in the 2024 election based on election polls <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting/24/04/38417836/trump-and-biden-get-ready-2024-election-betting-odds-point-to-major-showdown">and betting odds.</a>
Key demographics like young voters and old voters could play an important role in the election, along with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/swing-states">key swing states.</a>
A new poll of voters in swing states shows Biden gaining ground over Trump, who has led the way in these key states in recent months.
Here are the results of the recent swing state <a href="https://pro.morningconsult.com/analysis/swing-state-polling-april-2024">poll </a>from Morning Consult for the month of April, with the results from March in parentheses.
Arizona: 49% Trump (48%), 42% Biden (43%)
Georgia: 49% Trump (49%), 43% Biden (42%)
Michigan: 47% Biden (45%), 45% Trump (45%)
Nevada: 51% Trump (46%), 43% Biden (44%)
North Carolina: 51% Trump (49%), 41% Biden (43%)
Pennsylvania: 47% Trump (45%), 46% Biden (45%)
Wisconsin: 48% Trump (45%), 44% Biden (46%)

Why It's Important: The new poll shows Trump gaining support in Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Trump has some of his biggest leads in Arizona, Nevada and North Carolina since polling began in October 2023 for the swing states.
Biden gained support in Georgia, Michigan and Pennsylvania, but lost support in several states. The key win for the current president is taking a lead in Michigan for the first time since polling began in October.
The new poll also showed Biden gaining voter trust on several items including Medicare and Social Security.
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/03/37884006/trump-vs-biden-key-swing-states-arizona-nevada-michigan-wisconsin-show-close-races-heres-the-rol">seven swing states </a>together represent 93 electoral votes in the 2024 election. Six of the seven swing states were won by Biden in the 2020 election, with Trump winning North Carolina. Five of the seven swing states won by Biden in 2020 flipped from Trump to Biden in the election, including Arizona, Michigan and Wisconsin.

Trump Vs. Biden: Former President Dominates Swing States, But Loses One For First Time In New 2024 Election Poll

If you're the parent of a child under 12 and have streaming platform Disney+, there's a good chance you've watched Australian <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/12/36400565/is-disneys-percy-jackson-reboot-a-streaming-sensation-the-impact-of-new-shows-and-blueys-tr">animated hit &#8220;Bluey.</a>&#8220;
The show is turning in big numbers for Walt Disney Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>), but the company also hinted at the show ending or having less content going forward.
What Happened: Streaming platform Disney+, part of the Walt Disney Company, has one of the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/04/38024244/appletv-a-streaming-winner-new-survey-shows-platform-has-smallest-library-highest-rated-con"> largest content libraries</a> of family-based content, which is a draw to getting adults with children to subscribe to the platform.
Among the hit shows on Disney+ is the Australian show "Bluey," with Disney having the rights in the U.S. The show has drawn praise from kids and from parents, thanks to its relatable storylines.
On April 14, Disney+ aired the episode "The Sign" from the third season of the show. At 28 minutes, the episode was around three times longer than most episodes.
The episode had 10.4 million views globally in its first week on Disney+, <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/bluey-the-sign-ratings-disney-plus-1235879242/">according </a>to The Hollywood Reporter. This ranked as the most-watched episode in the show's history and had the biggest viewership for a Disney Junior show on Disney+.
This episode and its predecessor "Ghostbasket" left fans asking questions about the future as the Heeler family featured on "Bluey" dealt with a potential sale of their home and a move to another city.
Fans were treated to a surprise with the season 3 finale episode appropriately titled, "Surprise."
The episode included a flash forward to main character Bluey as an adult and with a child —&nbsp;leaving more questions about if the show is ending, as many voiced on social media that it felt more like a series finale than a season finale.

What's Next: Show creator Joe Brumm told The Hollywood Reporter in 2023 that the BBC, which originally commissioned the show alongside Australia's ABC, to not talk about the kids' voices or the future of the show.&nbsp;
Brumm has also said he's taking a break after the third season, which added to the speculation about the show's future.&nbsp;
A producer of "Bluey" recently confirmed to <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-68795941">BBC </a>that the show will return in the future. Another producer also said it would be a "dream" to make a movie based on Bluey and her family in the future.
"Bluey" debuted on the streaming platform in 2020, becoming one of the most-watched shows in the U.S. on streaming platforms. Data from Nielsen showed the series had an average of 1.19 billion minutes viewed per week across a three-season library of 150 episodes.
The children's show is the most streamed show in the U.S. in 2024 based on viewing time tracked by Nielsen. The show ranked second in 2023 and sixth in 2022.
The show has been a huge hit for Disney and a gap between seasons or an end to the show could eliminate one of the key pieces of content.&nbsp;
In a highly competitive streaming market, platforms need shows like "Bluey" that aren't available other places and are must-watch content for at least one age demographic.
With its appeal to kids and parents alike, "Bluey" hits multiple demographics.

In June 2022, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced a deal had finally been reached to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/22/01/24932856/new-york-gov-kathy-hochul-pledges-200m-to-boost-social-equity-efforts-as-part-of-cannabis-legali">fund a $200 million public-private effort</a>, which would finance cannabis dispensaries run by the people who have been the most impacted by the war on drugs.
The much-anticipated public-private fund is now coming under scrutiny following an <a href="https://www.thecity.nyc/2024/04/24/cannabis-fund-social-equity-dispensary/">investigation</a> by THE CITY&#8217;s Rosalind Adams, which uncovered a "lopsided deal" favoring the private equity firm Chicago Atlantic Group and raising concerns about the state's social equity goals. 
The agreement heavily favors Chicago Atlantic, leaving the state exposed to significant risks, noted the outlet.
Even the New York Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) cast doubts on the fund&#8217;s viability according to internal OCM documents that questioned whether the deal had overstated the potential revenue and profit potential.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">What Happened</h1>
New York state, unable to secure a private equity partner, agreed to a $50 million loan from Chicago Atlantic at a 15% interest rate, with all risk borne by the state.
Critics, including Reinvent Albany, an organization that advocates for government transparency and accountability, deemed the deal to have been detrimental to the state and prospective dispensary owners. Legal experts and consultants likened it to distressed debt lending.
Despite the skepticism and advice against the arrangement, negotiations ultimately led to a secret agreement benefiting Chicago Atlantic.
Previously, THE CITY revealed how cannabis licensees who accept loans from the social equity fund are burdened with high construction costs that they don't control and with interest rates that exceed the state's initial estimates.
"Everyone is worried about defaulting because of the rules and regulations of this loan," said Roland Conner, who runs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/01/30496199/ny-gov-hochul-announces-opening-of-first-cannabis-shop-owned-by-person-impacted-by-war-on-drugs">Smacked on Bleecker Street</a> in Greenwich Village, the first legal dispensary owned by a person affected by the drug war.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Who's Responsible?</h1>
Details of the deal are still secret, with New York state authorities denying Freedom of Information Law requests. The state comptroller&#8217;s office and key lawmakers say they were not informed or involved in the making of the deal, exposing a shocking lack of oversight.
Meanwhile, Chicago Atlantic secured favorable terms, including leasing rights and a $100 million commitment for property development, raising yet more concerns about profiteering at the expense of marginalized communities.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Corruption Or Ineptitude?</h1>
The handling of New York&#8217;s cannabis program seems to reflect a corrosive mix of both ineptitude and potential corruption. While officials may have sought to support marginalized groups, their actions suggest a lack of due diligence and transparency.
One element of the story, which you can read in full <a href="https://www.thecity.nyc/2024/04/24/cannabis-fund-social-equity-dispensary/">here</a>, is that social equity applicants are furious.
A Queens shop owner, Dalessio, who was awarded a retail license designated for people impacted by past drug convictions told THE CITY that after a year of back and forth with the fund, he walked away from the deal.
"It just left such a bad taste in my mouth. I warned everyone I could to stay away from this deal," he said.
