'He Just Greenlit Elon's AI Takeover': Wall Street Icon Says Trump's New Order Quietly Empowers Musk's Rise in the Machine Economy
BALTIMORE, June 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Former hedge fund manager Enrique Abeyta believes the most important AI story in America isn't happening inside a government lab or Silicon Valley headquarters…
It's happening inside Tesla.
Abeyta explains in his recent briefing, that thanks to a recent executive order from President Trump, Elon Musk now has a green light to deploy it — at national scale.
'Trump just cut the red tape,' says Abeyta. 'And Musk is the one most ready to move.'
Trump Signs. Musk Accelerates.
Dojo — Tesla's in-house AI training system — is now one of the fastest-developing AI platforms in the world. Built from scratch after Nvidia chip shortages, it's already outperforming commercial processors by a factor of six.
Fueled by Tesla's real-time video data — 160 billion frames a day — Dojo doesn't just train AI. It teaches machines how to operate independently in the real world.
By June 1st, Tesla will roll out its first robotaxi — with no steering wheel, no pedals, and no driver.
The Executive Order That Changed the Game
Last month, President Trump signed 'Removing Barriers to American AI Innovation,' a sweeping order to clear federal restrictions on domestic AI development.
Within days, companies aligned with Dojo's architecture were reportedly 'expecting to receive billions of dollars from the Trump administration.'
Abeyta sees this as the true start of the machine economy — where AI no longer waits for approval, and real-world deployment becomes the new battleground.
'Musk is deploying physical AI faster than anyone,' he says. 'And Trump just gave him the air cover to do it without interference.'
Musk Has the Tech. Trump Cleared the Map.
What we're witnessing, Abeyta says, isn't a partnership — it's a convergence. Musk built the system. Trump removed the guardrails.
And now, for the first time, a private company is building the command layer for how machines see, move, and act in physical space — at scale.

'Trump is steering our economy toward disaster': Here are some expert money moves to protect your retirement
Moneywise and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue through links in the content below. With talk of trade wars, fear of stagflation and slashes to Social Security staffing, you might be justifiably concerned about your retirement savings — especially if you're one of thousands of federal workers now without a job. 'The level of tariff increases announced so far is significantly larger than anticipated, and the same is likely to be true of the economic effects, which will include higher inflation and slower growth,' Jerome Powell, the chair of the Federal Reserve, said at the Economic Club of Chicago in April 2025. 'Both survey and market-based measures of near-term inflation expectations have moved up significantly, with survey participants pointing to tariffs.' Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how BlackRock CEO Larry Fink has an important message for the next wave of American retirees — here's how he says you can best weather the US retirement crisis Nervous about the stock market in 2025? Find out how you can access this $1B private real estate fund (with as little as $10) Powell isn't alone in his concern. Almost nine-in-ten (89%) of U.S. adults anticipate price increases as a result of President Donald Trump's tariff policy, according to a new Gallup poll. What's more, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) — the policy-making wing of the Federal Reserve System — is also concerned about the short-term effects of Trump's economic policies. Thanks to Trump's aggressive economic policies, there's now fear of stagflation — simultaneous slow economic growth and elevated inflation — hitting the U.S. economy. 'The Federal Reserve's projections confirm what millions of Americans are already thinking: President Trump is steering our economy toward disaster,' said Alex Jacquez, chief of policy and advocacy at non-profit think tank Groundwork Collaborative, in response to the latest Fed projections. American optimism about their financial prospects fell for the fourth straight month in April, according to the University of Michigan's Consumer Sentiment Report. Consumer expectations — gauging American attitudes towards the future — have tumbled by 32% since January, in the steepest three-month decline since the 1990 recession. Combined, these bleak figures suggest Americans believe things won't get better any time soon. 'Launching chaotic trade wars with our allies and gutting Social Security, Medicaid and other vital programs in order to fund tax breaks for his billionaire donors isn't making life more affordable for working-class families,' Jacquez said. 'It is, however, a perfect recipe for stagflation.' While other economists and industry-watchers are more guarded in their assessments, many agree that Trump's policies could lead to a period of stagflation. Richard Clarida — global economic advisor at Pacific Investment Management Company and former Federal Reserve vice-chairman — told Bloomberg that there's 'already at least a whiff of stagflation right now' in the U.S. Read more: You're probably already overpaying for this 1 'must-have' expense — and thanks to Trump's tariffs, your monthly bill could soar even higher. Once you get your feet underneath you, it's time to start growing your wealth in earnest and ramping up your saving strategy. A good place to start is maxing out any employer contributions to your 401(k). If you're over 50, take advantage of top-up provisions for your retirement accounts. Given the shaky start to 2025's markets, it may also be worth considering inflation-resistant investments, such as gold. While the S&P 500 has had a volatile last six months, the price of gold breached $3,000 per ounce in April. To capitalize on gold's growth potential while also securing tax advantages, one option is opening a gold IRA with the help of Priority Gold. Gold IRAs allow investors to hold physical gold or gold-related assets within a retirement account, thereby combining the tax advantages of an IRA with the protective benefits of investing in gold against economic uncertainties. When you make a qualifying purchase with Priority Gold, you can receive up to $10,000 in free silver. Once you've established a solid foundation it's time to start thinking long-term. Talking to your financial advisor about how to get the most for your money is a key step to securing your golden years, a college fund for your kids or paying down a mortgage quickly. With Vanguard, you can connect with a personal advisor who can help assess how you're doing so far and make sure you've got the right portfolio to meet your goals on time. Vanguard's hybrid advisory system combines advice from professional advisers and automated portfolio management to make sure your investments are working to achieve your financial goals. All you have to do is fill out a brief questionnaire about your financial goals, and Vanguard's advisers will help you set a tailored plan, and stick to it.

Trump front-and-center in Republican primary for governor as early voting kicks off
PINE HILL, N.J.– One week to go until primary day in New Jersey, and Republican gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli was getting a shoutout from the most powerful and influential politician in the GOP. "I'm asking you to get out and vote for a true champion for the people of your state – Jack Ciattarelli. He's been a friend of mine, and he's been a real success story," President Donald Trump told supporters as he dialed into a tele-rally on the eve of Tuesday's kickoff of early voting in New Jersey. Trump's praise came two weeks after he endorsed Ciattarelli for the Republican nomination in a primary race that turned into a battle for the president's support. "It's a really big deal," Ciattarelli said in a Monday interview with Fox News Digital after meeting with local GOP politicians and leaders at the Trump National Golf Club-Philadelphia in this South Jersey borough, when asked about the significance of Trump's endorsement. "The president's doing very, very well in New Jersey." New York Gov. Kathy Hochul Facing Democratic Primary Challenge From Her Own Lt. Governor Ciattarelli, a former state lawmaker, is making his third bid for governor. He ran unsuccessfully for the GOP nomination in 2017. Four years later, in 2021, as the Republican nominee, Ciattarelli overperformed and came close to ousting Democratic incumbent Gov. Phil Murphy, losing by just three points. Read On The Fox News App In the showdown to succeed Murphy, who is term-limited and prevented from running for re-election, polls suggest that Ciattarelli is the front-runner in a Republican nomination race that includes two other prominent candidates – former businessman and popular conservative talk radio host Bill Spadea and state Sen. Jon Bramnick, a lawyer who served for a decade as state Assembly GOP leader. New Jersey Primary An Early Test Of Trump's Second Administration And Ciattarelli and Spadea spent months trading fire over which of them was a bigger Trump supporter. "It was certainly disappointing," Spadea said of Trump's endorsement of Ciattarelli. "I mean, we made no bones about this. We absolutely wanted the president's endorsement. Unfortunately, the president endorsed a poll and not a plan." And in a Fox News Digital interview, Spadea emphasized that "I have been a supporter of President Trump since he came down the escalator," as he referenced Trump's announcement in 2015 of his first presidential campaign. "There is no question that I am the common-sense conservative. I am the actual Republican in this primary," Spadea claimed. And Spadea questioned Ciattarelli's support for Trump, claiming that his rival "has disrespected him for the better part of the last eight years…We thought that that endorsement would have been better served with me." Four years ago, after he won the GOP gubernatorial nomination, Ciattarelli, when asked if he was seeking the then-former president's endorsement, told Fox News Digital "there's only one endorsement I seek, and that's the endorsement of the voters of New Jersey. That's the only one that matters." Fast forward to 2025, and Ciattarelli emphasized that "people really appreciate what he [Trump] is doing for New Jerseyans. He's put a temporary hold on the wind farms off the Jersey Shore. He's beating up on the New York Democrats over congestion pricing. He supports a quadrupling of the SALT [state and local tax] deduction on our federal tax returns. Those are big deals to New Jersey, and that's why he's got so much great support here. And I'm honored to have his endorsement." Republican Governors Chair, Pointing To Campaign Battles Ahead, Touts 'Our Policies Are Better' While he lost out on Trump's endorsement, Spadea said there's been a silver lining. "Our supporters are galvanized. Matter of fact, the Tuesday and Wednesday after Trump endorsed Jack, we had a surge, our two best days ever in low-dollar fundraising," Spadea said. "So it actually has had the opposite effect, our low-dollar surge, our volunteer surge, we're now knocking on more than 3,000 doors a week, and we're getting an unbelievable response from the grassroots." Spadea said that "almost every Trump supporter that we've talked to face-to-face on the ground thinks that Donald Trump made a huge mistake" in endorsing Ciattarelli. And Spadea, who was interviewed in downtown Princeton, New Jersey, added that "Trump supporters believe in common-sense policies, populism, patriotism. It's not about being told who to vote for." Asked why Trump endorsed him rather than Spadea, Ciattarelli said that "the president wants to win. He knows that I provide the best opportunity to win in November." "He knows we're going to raise the necessary money. We've raised more money than the other five Republican gubernatorial candidates combined," added Ciattarelli, a certified public accountant who started a medical publishing company before getting into politics. The fundraising advantage has allowed Ciattarelli to dominate the ad wars, although Spadea said that "in the last couple of weeks we've actually outspent my opponent on the air" and predicted that "we're going to win." And Spadea, pointing to his media career, touted that "I built the largest audience in the state, a third Democrat, a third independent, a third Republican. So my appeal is not just that conservative base in the Republican Party. I'm the only candidate running for the Republican nomination that can pull in Democrats and independents." While the Democrats are also experiencing a competitive primary for governor, the Democratic Governors Association has long described the 2025 Republican showdown as a "MAGA battle" and argued that there's "extremism in the GOP primary." New Jersey has long been a blue-leaning state, but Republicans have had success in gubernatorial elections. "It's not a blue state when it comes to Governor races, Republicans have won six of the last 11. That's better than 50%," Ciattarelli said. And Trump, who spends summer weekends at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, held a very large rally last year in Wildwood, N.J. And he improved from a 16-point loss in the state in the 2020 election to a 6-point deficit last November. "The president's doing very, very well in New Jersey. He performed well here last election day," Ciattarelli said. And Ciattarelli, looking ahead to the general election campaign, said he's "really looking forward" to Trump's "active participation…I think New Jerseyans are anxious to have him on the campaign trail with me and help deliver a win for us in November." New Jersey's governor's race will likely grab plenty of national attention as Election Day nears, as it's one of just two states, along with Virginia, to hold gubernatorial contests in the year after a presidential election. Ciattarelli, pointing to his ballot box performance against Murphy four years ago, said that "we were the spark that lit the fuse in '21 with that very close race. The president before performed well here last November." "The country is watching and I think we're gonna deliver a very loud and clear message that New Jersey's going Republican this year," he article source: Trump front-and-center in Republican primary for governor as early voting kicks off

The No. 1 Rule for Understanding Trump
A useful one-sentence guide to the second Trump administration might go something like this: A lot happens under Donald Trump, but a lot un-happens, too. In the past four months, President Trump has announced tariffs on Canada, paused tariffs on Canada, restarted tariffs on Canada, ruled out tariffs on certain Canadian goods, and then ruled in, and even raised, tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum. And that's just for starters. On April 2, so-called Liberation Day, Trump announced a broader set of tariffs on almost every country in the world. Soon after, the plan was half-suspended. Then Trump announced a new set of elevated tariffs on China, from which he backtracked as well. Next the courts, as often happens, took over the job of erasing the president's previously announced policies. Last week, a trade court struck down the president's entire Liberation Day tariff regime as unconstitutional, only for a federal circuit court to reinstate the tariffs shortly thereafter. Now a higher court has the opportunity to do the funniest thing: undo the undoing of the undoing of the tariffs, which have been in a permanent state of being undone ever since they were created. Got all that? No, you most certainly do not, and neither does anybody else. Economists and corporate executives I've interviewed to understand future tariff policy have communicated to me a combination of confusion, fury, and resignation. Commentators have noticed the chaos too, of course. Observing how frequently Trump seems to back out of his own brinkmanship, the Financial Times columnist Robert Armstrong memorably deemed this trend TACO, or 'Trump Always Chickens Out.' [David A. Graham: The TACO presidency] Un-happening doesn't affect just trade and economic policy. In the realm of foreign policy, the Trump administration paused intelligence sharing with Ukraine after the ignominious on-camera spat between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Vice President J. D. Vance. Trump went further, claiming that Ukraine had started the war and that Zelensky was a dictator—raising the prospect that the administration was on the verge of explicitly aligning with Russia. Days later, the administration reversed course and resumed intelligence sharing and security assistance. Trump has since attacked Russian President Vladimir Putin for being 'absolutely CRAZY!' Un-happening also affects media, immigration, science, and education policy. Judges have ruled that the administration improperly froze grant money, inappropriately blocked the Associated Press from the White House press pool, and illegally sought to place sanctions on law firms that have done work, or employed lawyers, that Trump found unsuitable. On immigration, judges have blocked several of the administration's measures, including its invocation of the Alien Enemies Act to remove migrants and its attempt to bar Harvard's international students. Federal judges have blocked so much of the Trump agenda that White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller has described the constitutional balance of power as a form of 'judicial tyranny.' 'I know this is inflammatory,' Vance said in an interview with The New York Times, 'but I think you are seeing an effort by the courts to quite literally overturn the will of the American people.' The administration's claims to monarchical power are a real threat to America's constitutional order. But its executive orders and policy feints are so haphazard and poorly articulated that they amount to a kind of autocratic takeover written in smudge-able crayon: terrifying, cartoonish, and vulnerable to erasure, all at once. [J. Michael Luttig: The end of rule of law in America] This is not to say that Americans should ignore Trump's efforts to make confetti of the Constitution. Rather, when evaluating any one Trump policy, one has to keep front of mind the possibility that it simply won't exist by the end of the week. Despite an energetic effort by some right-wing intellectuals to make Trump out to be some kind of 14-dimensional-chess player, his approach doesn't resemble chess so much as a denial-of-service attack on a functioning government. All this un-happening shows both the upside and the downside of Trump's political instincts. The president's slippery relationship to his own policy agenda can serve as a kind of superpower, as Ross Douthat wrote in The New York Times. The TACO reputation is 'crucial to Trump's political resilience,' because 'the willingness to swerve and backpedal and contradict himself is a big part of what keeps the president viable.' The constant backtracking gives Trump the ability to both bend the Constitution to its breaking point and always step back to claim that 'anything extreme is also provisional,' Douthat wrote. Indeed, Trump's approval rating for trade has rebounded since its Liberation Day implosion, according to several polls. Questions of popularity aside, however, businesses tend to prefer certainty over promises and threats that keep disappearing. At some point, Trump's pledge to reinvigorate American industry and energy will require fat investments in factories and supply chains. Multi-hundred-million-dollar investments require clear expectations of financial return. Those aren't going to happen in a world where each policy idea boasts a half-life of 48 hours. Steve Bannon coined one of the most famous Trump-world truisms when he revealed MAGA's media strategy to 'flood the zone with shit.' Far stranger, however, is the administration's insistence on flooding the policy zone with Schrödinger's cats—executive orders and Truth Social posts that exist in a liminal state among existence, nonexistence, and imminent radioactive decay. The substantive problem with the MAGA agenda isn't just that too much is happening for any median voter to follow; it's that too much is un-happening for employers, investors, and consumers to know what the hell to do about it.
