We recently compiled a list of the Jim Cramer Discusses These 12 Stocks, Elon Musk & President Trump. In this article, we are going to take a look at where ServiceNow, Inc. (NYSE:NOW) stands against the other stocks Jim Cramer recently discussed.
In his recent appearance on CNBC’s Squawk on the Street, Jim Cramer shared his thoughts about Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Musk’s role in the government, and its impact on his companies. Commenting on industry concerns about his government efficiency initiatives impacting his companies, Cramer shared that his car, AI, and rocket companies have “seen valuations soar in recent months. So, again, the complainers, they really have to re-think their view.” Musk “is creating wealth,” Cramer believes as he added that “he’s [Musk] changing the government. Cramer then wondered “is he President Musk?” and asked, “Who is The Apprentice?”
When asked if he didn’t have a problem with Musk splitting his between two companies “No, I don’t think that Dorsey, I did give him grief because it wasn’t clear that he was for everyone. This guy favors every. . . .look I, he is remarkable. I just don’t want him to show up here.” He added: “Look what do you do, when it says, Elon Musk on line two? What do you do?”
Another hot topic that caught Cramer’s attention was the SEC purportedly dropping its lawsuit against one of the most popular cryptocurrency exchanges in the US. He shared:
“Well look we always know why that it was a parochial view that Gensler took. Uh, Tim Massad over at the CFTC didn’t take that view. He said it’s going to be huge overseas because they got even less faith in their currencies than we have. And it’s got a lot more portability than gold. Look I’m a huge believer in it. I don’t know if I’m a believer in the big buck, but I am a believer in Bitcoin because I believe the thirty-six trillion, I don’t know what to do with the thirty-six trillion in debt. I haven’t figured that out yet, David. I thought when you spoke to Mnuchin, you would push the fifty-year bond that you know I’m a huge believer in.”
However, Cramer added that what former SEC chair Gary Gensler also “really didn’t like were the bogus coins! He didn’t wanna see that. . .”
The CNBC TV host also commented on AI and Elon Musk’s xAI announcing its Grok 3 model Cramer thought “it [Grok 3] was okay. I think it was okay. I don’t know, I caught ChatGPT hallucinating like mad yesterday. No, look, Grok 3’s okay.” When asked whether AI could displace a substantive portion of jobs, he shared:
“I do think that there are few employees in areas that are drone-like, but there are more employees in areas that really matter. I know Salesforce, really interesting that they’re talking about, you know lack of code. But they are putting people in a much more substantive position. I think banks will do that too.”
Returning to Musk’s DOGE, he shared:
“Uh, okay so there’s this piece in The Atlantic. ‘This Is What Happens When The DOGE Guys Take Over,’ I want everyone to read this piece. Because what it is, is they come in and they take over your computer and they find out what’s wrong. And it is devastating. Because they’re going into companies and really, and they’re going into agencies, and just taking over. It’s a great article. It’s heavily sourced. And one of the things that’s really clear about it is they’re winning. They’re winning. They’re finding things. And they tend to be in agencies so far which are, you know, I think of like the Consumer Financial Safety Board. They’re in there heavily. They tend be on to agencies that frankly many people would say, Democrat agencies. Democrat agencies.”
As for DOGE rapidly firing and re-hiring people, he commented: “This thing is done so ad-hoc, uh, there is, there’s almost no due process whatsoever. If you overwhelm the courts, and just make it so that they have to constantly take up these matters then, then DOGE wins. That seems to be the pattern. They can overwhelm the court system with all these different, if they just keep going after agency, after agency.”
