Trump-Musk rift rattles Wall Street; Tesla share slide exposes market fragility; major indexes take a hit

The public feud between US President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk has turned into both a political and a Wall Street drama, raising investor concerns and exposing the vulnerability of stock markets to sharp moves in major companies. The clash, which played out mostly on social media, triggered a 14% drop in Tesla shares on Thursday, after Trump threatened to cut off government contracts to Musk's companies. Thursday's decline reduced Tesla's market value by approximately $150 billion, with its weight in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 at 1.6% and 2.6%, respectively. Tesla shares recovered partially on Friday, increasing about 5% by mid-day, reaching a market value of around $970 billion. Microsoft and Nvidia, both valued above $3 trillion, maintained weights of 6.9% and 6.8% in the S&P 500 as of Thursday. Despite a slight recovery on Friday, Thursday's sharp fall weighed heavily on major US indexes, with Tesla alone accounting for nearly half the day's declines. The company's decline made up nearly half of the day's losses for both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100, which fell 0.5% and 0.8% respectively. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo The S&P 500 is widely seen as the key benchmark for the US stock market, while the tech-focused Nasdaq 100 underpins the popular Invesco QQQ ETF. "It's a widely held stock," said Robert Pavlik, senior portfolio manager at Dakota Wealth told Reuters. "When this big-name company that represents a sizable portion of the index sells off, it has an overall effect on the index, but it also has a psychological effect on investors," Pavlk added. The situation highlights long-standing concerns about index concentration in a small number of large-capitalisation stocks. The "Magnificent Seven", including Apple, Microsoft and Nvidia, collectively represented nearly one-third of the S&P 500's total weight as of Thursday's close. Though Tesla is the smallest among these tech and growth giants, it played a major role in driving index gains in 2023 and 2024. While 2025 started off uncertain, recent trends suggest signs of recovery. Tesla shares have dropped around 37% since mid-December, while the S&P 500 has fallen just 1% in the same period—reducing Tesla's overall influence on the index. Tesla is included in about 10% of the roughly 4,200 ETFs, giving it wide market exposure, according to Todd Sohn, ETF and technical strategist at Strategas. Some major funds affected include the Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund, which fell 2.5% on Thursday, and the Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF, which declined 2.6%. "It's very important to know holistically what is in all your ETFs, because a lot of them are overlapping," the analyst noted.

Elon Musk-Donald Trump fights, Nintendo Switch 2 launches, Apple WWDC looms, and other top tech news this week

The tech industry witnessed dramatic developments this week, from a spectacular public falling-out between President Trump and Elon Musk that threatens billions in federal subsidies, to Nintendo's Switch 2 console launch creating massive consumer frenzy with sold-out pre-orders. Meanwhile, Google CEO Sundar Pichai bucked industry trends by promising continued engineering hiring through 2026, even as Microsoft cut another 300 jobs following last month's 6,000-person layoff. Apple 's WWDC 2025 kicks off next week with anticipated major iOS and AI updates, while Meta secured a 20-year nuclear power deal to fuel its AI ambitions, highlighting the week's mix of corporate drama, product launches, and the ongoing AI transformation reshaping Big Tech. After friendship, Elon Musk and Donald Trump fights publicly After a friendship that began during Trump's 2024 presidential campaign when Musk publicly endorsed him following an assassination attempt, the relationship between President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk has dramatically deteriorated into a public feud. Their alliance, which saw Musk appointed as co-lead of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) after Trump's election victory, began unraveling in May 2025 when Musk criticized Trump's signature spending bill as a "disgusting abomination." The conflict exploded into the open on June 5, 2025, when the former allies exchanged a series of bitter insults on social media, with Musk claiming "Trump would have lost the election" without him and making explosive allegations about Trump's connection to Jeffrey Epstein , while Trump threatened to terminate billions in federal subsidies for Musk's companies. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo The public breakdown of their relationship reached a tipping point when Trump admitted during an Oval Office press conference that he was "very disappointed" in Musk and didn't know if their friendship could be salvaged, even reportedly deciding to sell the Tesla he had purchased just months earlier during their alliance. Google CEO Sundar Pichai says that he'll keep hiring engineers Google CEO Sundar Pichai has announced that the tech giant will continue expanding its engineering workforce through 2026, positioning the company against widespread industry fears about AI-driven job displacement. Speaking at the Bloomberg Tech conference, Pichai emphasized that artificial intelligence serves as "an accelerator" rather than a replacement for human talent, enabling Google to pursue greater opportunities in emerging technology sectors like Waymo autonomous vehicles, quantum computing, and YouTube's global expansion. This hiring commitment stands in stark contrast to competitors like Microsoft, which have cut thousands of positions to fund AI investments, and even Google's own recent history of laying off 12,000 employees in 2023 with additional reductions following. Microsoft cuts 300 more jobs after laying off 6,000 employees last month Microsoft has eliminated over 300 additional jobs this week, just weeks after announcing 6,000 layoffs in what represents the company's second-largest workforce reduction since cutting 10,000 roles in 2023. While the specific departments affected in the latest round remain undisclosed, previous layoff patterns suggest software engineers and project managers are likely most impacted, as last month's cuts hit coding professionals hardest with over 40% of eliminated positions belonging to software engineers despite Microsoft's $80 billion AI infrastructure investment. CEO Satya Nadella has characterized these workforce reductions as a "realignment" rather than performance-based decisions, explaining it as "repositioning for what comes next" in the company's AI transformation, which now sees artificial intelligence writing up to 30% of code in some projects. The layoffs reflect broader industry trends as tech giants like Salesforce, Amazon, and Google implement flatter organizational structures and reduce engineering hiring due to AI adoption, with Microsoft's cuts occurring as the company continues investing billions in AI while employing approximately 228,000 full-time workers worldwide. Nintendo Switch 2 launches to sky-high demand and long queues Nintendo's highly anticipated Switch 2 launched earlier this week to massive consumer demand, with gaming fans lining up at electronics stores across Tokyo and pre-orders selling out within hours. The $499.99 console, featuring a larger screen and improved graphics compared to its predecessor, received 2.2 million lottery applications in Japan alone, while Target's pre-orders sold out in under two hours. Nintendo forecasts 15 million Switch 2 sales this financial year and has pledged to strengthen production capacity to meet overwhelming demand. With the original Switch selling 152 million units since 2017, analysts predict the new device could surpass 100 million sales by 2030, though supply shortages may persist for weeks or months as the company scales up manufacturing. OnePlus 13s, OnePlus Pad 3 launches OnePlus has launched two flagship devices in India, with the OnePlus 13s and the OnePlus Pad 3 tablet. The OnePlus 13s, priced starting at Rs 54,999, features a 6.32-inch LTPO AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate, powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset with 12GB RAM and 512GB storage, while packing a 5,850mAh Silicon Carbon battery with 80W fast charging and a dual-camera setup with 50MP primary and telephoto lenses. Meanwhile, the OnePlus Pad 3 boasts a larger 13.2-inch 3.4K 144Hz display, also powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor with up to 16GB RAM, featuring eight speakers for immersive audio, a massive 12,140mAh battery with 80W SuperVOOC charging, and priced at $699.99 (approximately Rs 60,070) for the base 12GB+256GB variant. Both devices run Android 15-based OxygenOS 15 and offer enhanced productivity features, with the OnePlus 13s available in Black Velvet, Pink Satin , and Green Silk colors, while the Pad 3 comes in Storm Blue and Frosted Silver, available in Europe from June 19th and North America from July 8th, with Indian availability confirmed soon across major platforms. Apple's annual developers conference, WWDC 25 starts next week Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2025 is set to kick off next week from June 9-13 at Apple Park in Cupertino, California, with the keynote scheduled for 10 a.m. PT on June 9 followed by the Platforms State of the Union Address at 1 p.m. PT. The event, which can be watched online via the Apple TV app, and Apple's YouTube channel, is expected to unveil major software updates including iOS 19 (or possibly iOS 26 according to rumors suggesting a numbering system change), iPadOS, macOS, and WatchOS. This year's conference is particularly anticipated for potential dramatic design overhauls across Apple's operating systems, with Bloomberg reporting that iOS 19, iPadOS 19, and macOS 16 will feature new icons and menus creating a more cohesive style reminiscent of VisionOS, while Apple is also expected to outline significant progress in artificial intelligence with enhanced Apple Intelligence features and Siri improvements, as the company seeks to compete with Google's Gemini and other AI offerings from Android vendors. Meta signs 20-year nuclear deal to power AI operations Meta has secured a 20-year nuclear power agreement with Constellation Energy to meet the growing energy demands of its artificial intelligence operations. The deal will expand output at Illinois' Clinton Clean Energy Center by 30 megawatts starting in June 2027, when the plant's current state-funded support program expires. This partnership will preserve 1,100 local jobs and generate $13.5 million in annual tax revenue while providing clean energy equivalent to powering a city of 30,000 residents. The agreement makes Meta the latest tech giant to turn to nuclear power for AI infrastructure, joining Microsoft, Amazon, and Google in similar partnerships as companies balance surging energy needs with greenhouse gas reduction goals.

Satya Nadella reveals the one skill you need to beat AI and land your first tech job

In an era where artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming the software industry, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has a clear message for those aiming to break into tech: Never underestimate the power of strong fundamentals. In a recent chat with popular tech YouTuber Sajjaad Khade, Nadella offered a dose of grounded advice for beginners hoping to make their mark in the tech world. Despite AI's growing capabilities, he believes that foundational computational thinking and system design skills remain critical. "Just getting real fundamentals of software (if you're a software engineer), I think, matters a lot," Nadella said. "To me, having the ability to think computationally (is important)."advertisementKhade posed the question and asked Nadella what one piece of advice he would offer someone just starting out in today's AI-driven software landscape. Nadella highlighted that while AI can assist in coding, it still relies heavily on the user's ability to think logically and offer structured guidance."The path to being that software architect gets speeded up," he explained. "All of us are going to be more software architects." Nadella used a personal anecdote to underline his point. He recalled how he recently encountered a bug in his code and resolved it using GitHub Copilot, an AI-powered coding assistant. "Except I was thinking about it, it was a pretty cool issue, right? The issue was I did a filter, which was basically a percentile... creating a feature. But then I said, 'Oh man, this is, like, you know, I could, you know, recount what is a SQL, right?'"advertisementThis balance between human insight and AI-powered assistance, Nadella argues, is what the future of coding looks like. While AI will continue to handle more repetitive and mechanical tasks, the core responsibilities of structuring problems and designing coherent systems will fall to fact, the extent to which AI has already penetrated Microsoft's own software development process is striking. In a conversation with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg earlier this year, Nadella revealed that AI currently writes a significant portion of Microsoft's code."I'd say maybe 20 per cent, 30 per cent of the code that is inside of our repos today and some of our projects are probably all written by software," he also spotlighted the concept of "agentic AI" during his keynote at Microsoft Build last month. According to him, "The agentic web is reshaping the entire tech stack, and we are creating new opportunities for devs at every layer."His commitment to preparing future tech professionals isn't limited to philosophy and product development. Earlier this year, Microsoft announced a major initiative in India as part of its broader global AI strategy. In partnership with the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), the company has pledged to skill 500,000 students, educators, developers, government officials, and women entrepreneurs across the country by elements of this partnership include the establishment of an AI Centre of Excellence named "AI Catalysts," aimed at nurturing rural innovation and empowering a growing community of 100,000 AI developers. Furthermore, Microsoft will set up 20 AI productivity labs in National Skill Training Institutes (NSTIs) and NIELIT centres across ten Indian states, designed to train 20,000 educators in core AI hands-on skilling push aligns with Nadella's emphasis on mastering the fundamentals. As AI continues to grow more sophisticated, those who pair a strong technical foundation with the ability to collaborate effectively with AI tools are the ones most likely to if you're planning to venture into tech, take it from Nadella, AI might write the code, but it's human ingenuity that still defines what that code should do.
