Ford says it’ll extend its employee pricing deal one more month and then probably hike prices

Ford’s going to eat its tariff hit for one additional month, extending its employee pricing discount through July 4.

CEO Jim Farley, who announced the news in an interview on CNN, said the company won’t rule out price hikes after the extension.

The announcement is in line with reports from earlier this month that Ford — barring tariff relief — will “make vehicle pricing adjustments” for vehicles produced in May, set to arrive on lots in June or July. Automakers’ tariff pricing strategies appear to have a close relationship to their US inventory levels. Earlier in April, Volkswagen said it has enough US inventory for two months of sales, matching the length of its price freeze.

Competitor pricing moves and the 25% tariffs on auto parts set to go into effect Saturday will be behind any future Ford price hikes. Farley told CNN that the company can’t even buy certain parts in the US and said “parts are critical” to keeping prices affordable for US customers.

Yesterday’s White House tariff relief announcements — which seem to significantly favor Elon Musk’s Tesla — did little to ease investor fears that automakers won’t make it through tariffs without significant damage.

Hims to stop offering copy of Wegovy pill following FDA scrutiny

Hims & Hers said it has decided to stop offering its newly launched copycat version of Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy pill, after the telehealth company drew criticism from the Food and Drug Administration. 

“Since launching the compounded semaglutide pill on our platform, we’ve had constructive conversations with stakeholders across the industry. As a result, we have decided to stop offering access to this treatment,” Hims wrote on X.

Shares of Hims are down double digits in premarket trading on Monday, while Novo Nordisk ADRs are up more than 6% as of 5:20 a.m. ET.

On Friday afternoon, the FDA said it would take “decisive steps” to restrict GLP-1 compounding. Department of Health and Human Services General Counsel Mike Stuart said on social media Friday he had referred Hims to the Department of Justice “for investigation for potential violations by Hims of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and applicable Title 18 provisions.”

Hims launched the product last week, a seeming copy of a recently released and patented drug, which immediately drew fire from Novo Nordisk and regulators.

There’s still plenty of money to be made in brainrot. The top 1,000 Roblox creators earned an average of $1.3 million in 2025 — up 50% from the year prior — according to CEO Dave Baszucki on the company’s fourth-quarter earnings call.

Roblox paid out $1.5 billion to creators last year, meaning its top 1,000 creators took home about 87% of the total pool.

Like other creator economy giants, Roblox rewards its biggest creators for their contributions to user engagement. Creator-made titles like “Grow a Garden” and “Steal a Brainrot” substantially boosted playing time over the course of the year. In September, the company increased its developer exchange rate, or the ratio of in-game currency to cash payout, by 8.5%.
