Elon Musk had a sharp exchange of words with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38782945/metas-chief-ai-scientist-clashes-with-early-openai-investor-vinod-khosla-clearly-can-profit-financia">venture capitalist Vinod Khosla</a> on Musk&#8217;s X platform on Saturday as Khosla brought up government support for Musk&#8217;s businesses.
More Moderate Path Needed: The exchanges started several months ago with Khosla, the co-founder of Sun Microsystems and the venture capital firm Khosla Ventures, calling for an open Democratic convention and criticizing Donald Trump. Replying to Khosla, Tesla CEO Musk said, &#8220;Come on, Vinod. Trump/Vance LFG!!&#8221;
Musk argued that while Trump may not be without flaws, he is good for meritocracy and individual freedom, adding that many years ago this was ensured by the Democratic Party but now it is the Republicans that stands for these.

Musk Clarifies Regarding Subsidies: This argument did not go down well with Khosla, who questioned the rationale of subsidies to the ventures of the businessmen and preferred that these might have been used for deficit reduction. &#8220;This &#8216;meritocratic and promote individual freedoms over the heavy hand of government&#8217; I agree with. How much government money does SpaceX get? Could Tesla have survived without EV subsidies?,&#8221; he said, adding that Twitter, which has been rebranded as X following Musk acquiring it, may not be getting government money.
SpaceX is a spacecraft manufacturer, space launch provider, and satellite communications company founded by Musk in 2002. Reduction in the cost of space travel and colonization of Mars were the main premises on which the company was established.
&#8220;Which of these would you rather the government didn&#8217;t spend money on and reduce the deficit?&#8221; Khosla said. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/macro-notification/24/04/38337484/is-the-us-national-debt-unsustainable-we-cant-have-a-deficit-of-7-of-the-gdp">One of the main challenges before the government is the huge fiscal deficits</a> it has run up and the two mainstream parties have different approaches toward tackling the crisis in hand.
Khosla&#8217;s comments about the deficit elicited a sharp reaction from Musk. &#8220;Do some research before you display your utter ignorance,&#8221; he said. He noted that SpaceX gets no subsidies and received half as much as Boeing for astronaut transport, but did 100% of the work.
Musk also clarified that government subsidies make up only a minor portion of his electric-vehicle manufacturing company Tesla&#8217;s revenue. On the other hand, oil &amp; gas companies get massive tax breaks that exceed those given to the EV industry by several orders of magnitude, he added.

Elon Musk Responds to Venture Capitalist's Claim On Government Subsidies For SpaceX, Tesla: 'Do Some Research Before You Display Your Utter Ignorance'

T. Rowe Price&#8217;s new 2024 Defined Contribution Consultant Study highlights significant shifts in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/retirement">retirement planning strategies</a>, particularly when it comes to personalization and retirement income.
The <a href="https://www.troweprice.com/institutional/us/en/lp/defined-contribution/consultant-research-study.html">study</a>, which surveyed 35 leading firms, reveals that consultants, advisors, and plan sponsors have significantly shifted their strategies and priorities over the last few years.
A striking change since 2021 is the increased engagement with retirement income strategies. In 2021, 59% of consultants and advisors reported that over half of their plan sponsor clients had no clear stance on retirement income. By 2024, this figure plummeted to 19%, indicating a growing prioritization of retirement income in plan offerings.
Jessica Sclafani, global retirement strategist at T. Rowe Price, notes that consultants and advisors are seeking &#8220;solutions that offer choice, personalization, flexibility and are cost-effective.&#8221; The study shows a preference for simple, systematic withdrawal capabilities as the most appealing strategy for delivering income to retired participants.

Personalization, especially for near-retirees, emerged as a key theme. Managed accounts are gaining traction as opt-in investment options, though target date funds remain the predominant default investment alternative. The study also reveals strong support for transitioning from mutual fund-based target date solutions to collective investment trusts, primarily for cost efficiency.
Fixed income strategies have evolved in response to post-pandemic interest rate increases. The study reports that 89% of respondent firms now prioritize diversification opportunities, up from 48% in 2021. There&#8217;s also growing support for non-traditional bond allocations within target date solutions, with active management favored in high-yield bonds and emerging markets debt.
The research anticipates growth in in-plan emergency savings programs, with 70% of firms expecting such offerings to become more common within the next three to five years.
These findings underscore a significant shift in the retirement planning landscape, with increased focus on personalized, flexible, and cost-effective solutions to meet the evolving needs of plan participants across different life stages.

Trump's Historic Bitcoin Transaction, Ethereum Co-Founder Backs Trump Over Harris For Crypto, Gamestop Customer's Bitcoin Windfall, And More: This Week In Cryptocurrency

Former President <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40900871/donald-trump-says-inflation-is-the-highest-ever-but-experts-dispute-his-claims-heres-the-truth-a">Donald Trump</a>, never one to shy away from bold claims, stirred the pot again during a visit to Michigan. Speaking in the heart of America's auto industry, he repeated a debunked claim that Chinese automakers are building massive factories in Mexico.
But he didn't stop there. Trump promised to slap a 200% tariff on cars made in these nonexistent plants if they ended up in the U.S.

</ul>
&#8220;If I don&#8217;t win, you will have no auto industry within two to three years,&#8221; Trump warned a crowd in Flint. He suggested that a victory for Vice President Kamala Harris in November would end American car manufacturing. According to Trump, the shift to electric vehicles would move jobs directly to China, leaving the U.S. auto industry in the dust.
However, the facts paint a different picture. Under the current administration, auto jobs have increased. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, when Trump left office in January 2021, auto jobs had dipped 0.8%, landing just above 949,000, as cited by The Associated Press.&nbsp;

Since President <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/07/39624809/the-last-time-biden-left-the-white-house-he-cashed-in-heres-how-2025-could-bring-another-boost-for-h">Joe Biden</a> took over, auto and parts jobs have jumped by 13.6%, reaching 1.07 million by August. Car sales even ticked up by 2.4% in the first half of this year. The idea that the U.S. auto industry is on its last legs seems a stretch at the very least.
Trump also threw around some familiar rhetoric, pledging to force automakers to build factories in the U.S. by imposing steep tariffs on foreign-made cars. &#8220;It'll be like taking candy from a baby," he said, confident his proposed tariffs would discourage companies from building plants abroad. His plan is simple: if you make cars overseas, you'll pay dearly to sell them in America.
Trending: The startup behind White Castle's favorite Robot Fry Cook announces a next-generation fast food robot –<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/miso-robotics-flippy"> Here's how to get a share for under $5 today.</a>
However, foreign automakers already operate multiple plants in the U.S., mostly in southern states, meaning many are already playing by the rules Trump wants to enforce. While Trump's threats of tariffs may sound tough, experts point out that they often lead to higher prices for American consumers rather than benefiting domestic workers.&nbsp;
Trump&#8217;s tariff proposal also extends to Chinese cars supposedly built in Mexico. &#8220;They&#8217;re owned and built by China in Mexico and a number of them going up right now,&#8221; he claimed.&nbsp;
Trending: These five entrepreneurs are worth $223 billion –<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-homes-private-credit-fund"> they all believe in one platform that offers a 7-9% target yield with monthly dividends</a>
However, industry experts have repeatedly stated that this is untrue. The only Chinese auto factory in Mexico is run by JAC, a small company assembling low-cost vehicles from kits. It&#8217;s focused on the Mexican market, not the U.S.
In response to Trump's comments, Michigan Sen. Gary Peters, speaking on behalf of Kamala Harris' campaign, issued a sharp rebuttal. He argued that another Trump presidency would be disastrous for autoworkers.
&#8220;A second Trump term would crush auto jobs, ceding Michigan's global auto manufacturing leadership to the Chinese government," Peters warned. He added that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/08/40196337/kamala-harris-says-rebuilding-the-middle-class-is-a-top-priority-heres-the-investment-strategy-she-b">Harris </a>has a clear plan to bring high-paying manufacturing jobs back to the U.S., ensuring that Michigan workers remain at the forefront of the global auto industry.

Trump Promises More Tariffs While Repeating His Controversial False Claim About Chinese Automakers Building Major Factories In Mexico

The past week has been a whirlwind for&nbsp;Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), with a mix of highs and lows. From concerns over iPhone 16 demand to promising sales figures, regulatory attention from the EU, and expansion plans in Asia, the tech giant has been in the spotlight. Here&#8217;s a recap of the top stories.
iPhone 16 Demand Lower Than Expected
According to top analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple&#8217;s iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max models experienced lower-than-anticipated demand during the first weekend of pre-orders. Kuo&#8217;s analysis, based on a recent supply chain survey and pre-order data from Apple&#8217;s official websites, suggests a weaker demand for the Pro models.

T-Mobile CEO Reports Strong iPhone 16 Sales
Despite earlier concerns, T-Mobile US Inc. CEO Mike Sievert shared promising sales figures for the iPhone 16. In an interview with CNBC&#8217;s Jim Cramer, Sievert revealed that the new model is outperforming last year's model in sales, with customers purchasing higher-end models.

EU Targets Apple&#8217;s iPhone And iPad Systems
The European Commission has initiated two specification proceedings to help Apple comply with its interoperability obligations under the Digital Markets Act. The move aims to ensure free interoperability to third-party developers and businesses to alleviate the regulator's antitrust concerns.

Analyst Unfazed By Early iPhone 16 Demand Trends
Despite initial concerns about demand, Morgan Stanley analyst Erik Woodring remains bullish on Apple. Woodring explains why the early trends should not be a cause for worry, noting that iPhone 16 lead times have doubled from last Friday and have been longer internationally than in the U.S.

Apple&#8217;s Expansion Beyond China&nbsp;JPMorgan analyst Samik Chatterjee reveals that Apple&#8217;s production in India is set to hit 20-25% of total iPhone units by 2027. This move is part of Apple&#8217;s &#8220;China+1&#8221; strategy, reflecting its effort to diversify production away from China amid rising geopolitical tensions.
