Elon Musk sparked confusion online yet again – this time with his take on Argentina's new import tax cuts. Recently, Argentina&#8217;s President-elect Javier Milei announced a major policy change to reduce taxes on imports.&nbsp;

</ul>
As part of his economic reform plan, Milei wants to make imported goods more affordable. Starting in December, he will raise the tax-free limit on international purchases from $1,000 to $3,000. Personal imports will also get a tariff exemption of up to $400. This move is meant to open up the economy and make things easier for shoppers in Argentina.&nbsp;
Elon Musk seemed to think so. In response to a tweet discussing Milei&#8217;s idea, he expressed his support for the tax cut by simply saying, &#8220;Good move.&#8221;&nbsp;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

The tweet caught a lot of attention as many people quickly called Musk out for what they saw as mixed signals – supporting a policy in Argentina that seems opposite to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/42042411/inflation-could-surge-to-3-if-trump-applies-universal-tariffs-goldman-sachs">U.S. import tariffs promoted by Donald Trump</a>, whom Musk has also publicly supported.
For instance, one user tweeted, &#8220;You supported the presidential campaign of the guy advocating for the largest tariff hike in modern U.S. history, lmao.&#8221; Another wrote, &#8220;Import taxes = tariffs. You support cutting them elsewhere and raising them here? Shameful hypocrisy.&#8221; Alex Cole added to the discourse, writing, &#8220;So removing tariffs is a good move and Donald Trump adding tariffs is also a good move? Bizarro world.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Different Countries, Different Needs?</h2>
Not everyone saw it as straight-up hypocrisy. Some X users argued that Musk's take could be valid if viewed in the context of Argentina's economy compared to the U.S.&nbsp;
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36597688/argentinas-inflation-was-around-200-in-2023-and-it-could-get-worse-in-2024-new-leadership-says-it-wi">Argentina is dealing with hyperinflation</a> and a major recession, so reducing import taxes might be a much-needed lifeline to help people afford basic goods. Dan Victor, a CFA, commented, &#8220;It&#8217;s different for the world&#8217;s largest economy compared to one suffering from a deep recession and hyperinflation.&#8221;
Another user pointed out that different countries might use different tools for different reasons. &#8220;Start by studying comparative economic policy. Then, once you understand that two completely different countries/economies implementing different policies is normal, this should make a little more sense.&#8221;
While some felt Musk was inconsistent, others believed his opinion could make sense given the drastically different economic situations of Argentina and the United States. The U.S. has a massive, stable economy, whereas Argentina is struggling to stabilize itself amid economic turmoil.

'Bizarro World' – People Are Really Confused By Elon Musk Praising Argentina's Javier Milei Slashing Import Taxes

Satellite images have reportedly revealed that Russia has supplied North Korea with over one million barrels of oil since March, violating United Nations sanctions that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41561980/zelensky-sounds-alarm-on-potential-north-korean-involvement-in-ukraine" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">restrict oil sales to North Korea</a>.
These transfers are part of a broader arrangement in which North Korea sends weapons, artillery shells, and even troops to aid Russia&#8217;s war in Ukraine, the BBC <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cjr4pr0gyyzo" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
The oil deliveries, tracked by the UK-based Open Source Centre, are seen as a direct quid pro quo for North Korea&#8217;s military support, with the oil serving to fuel Pyongyang&#8217;s own operations and provide stability amid ongoing sanctions.
According to satellite imagery analyzed by UK-based non-profit research group the Open Source Centre and shared exclusively with the BBC, North Korean oil tankers have made 43 trips to Russia&#8217;s Far East, with vessels arriving empty and leaving full.

Despite UN sanctions capping the amount of oil North Korea can receive at 500,000 barrels per year, Russia&#8217;s illicit shipments have far exceeded this limit, with experts estimating more than a million barrels have been supplied since March.
The BBC added that these transfers not only breach UN sanctions but also involve ships that are themselves under sanction, some of which should have been impounded upon entering Russian waters, citing Go Myong-hyun, a senior research fellow at South Korea&#8217;s Institute for National Security Strategy.
The situation marks a new level of contempt for international regulations, as Russia has actively circumvented the UN panel responsible for monitoring such violations, disbanding it through its veto at the Security Council in March.
Experts worry this cooperation between two autocratic regimes may lead to even more dangerous collaborations, potentially involving military technology transfers that could further destabilize the region, the BBC adds.
While the oil deliveries provide crucial fuel for North Korea&#8217;s military, which relies on oil for its missile launchers and munitions factories, concerns are growing over the potential for more military technology exchanges, particularly in satellite and ballistic missile advancements. 
Both the US and South Korea are closely monitoring the evolving ties between Russia and North Korea, with the possibility of these exchanges further threatening global security.

Elon Musk on Saturday shared a cryptic tweet on X, hinting at a significant turning point in human history.
What Happened: Musk&nbsp;responded to a post on X by Bojan Tunguz, which referred to an unspecified event as &#8220;one of the major inflection&nbsp;points of human history.&#8221; Musk&#8217;s reply was enigmatic, stating, &#8220;I knew if I brought&nbsp;a sink they would have&nbsp;to let that sink in.&nbsp;How could they not?&#8221;

"I Knew If I Bought a Sink": What Does Elon Musk's Cryptic Tweet Mean?

President-elect Donald Trump is preparing a sweeping plan to reshape the Department of Justice (DOJ) and direct the department to investigate claims that the 2020 election was rigged against him when he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/42027218/could-trumps-housing-plans-reshape-the-real-estate-market">assumes office in January</a>.
What Happened: According to a report, Trump plans to dismiss Special Counsel Jack Smith and other DOJ employees who investigated allegations of voter fraud in the 2020 election, despite the lack of evidence supporting such claims.
The proposed changes come as Trump continues to challenge the legitimacy of President Joe Biden's victory. Trump's plans, aimed at targeting investigations into unfounded voter fraud claims, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/11/22/trump-jack-smith-prosecutors-firing-justice-department-investigation/?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=wp_main">reports</a> The Washington Post.
Smith, who has been leading federal investigations into Trump's alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election and his handling of classified documents, could see his tenure cut short under a second Trump administration. 
According to the report, Smith&nbsp;has already announced that&nbsp;he would resign from the department before Trump begins his second term, ending the election interference and classified documents cases against the president-elect.
Trump's legal troubles include multiple indictments, with some stemming from Smith's probes.

"President Trump campaigned on firing rogue bureaucrats who have engaged in the illegal weaponization of our American justice system, and the American people can expect he will deliver on that promise," press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement.
The former president's proposed DOJ overhaul also involves investigating claims of election fraud that have been repeatedly debunked by courts and bipartisan officials. 
Why It Matters: Legal experts warn that using the DOJ to pursue baseless allegations risks undermining the department's credibility and its independence. Critics argue such actions could set a dangerous precedent by politicizing federal investigations to serve partisan interests.
Trump has made challenging the 2020 election results a central theme of his campaign. His rhetoric continues to resonate with supporters, while drawing criticism from opponents and legal scholars.

Trump Plans DOJ Overhaul Including Firing of Jack Smith's Team

President-elect Donald Trump has selected Russell Vought, co-author of the conservative policy agenda Project 2025, as director of the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42024583/world-bank-worries-over-budget-cuts-after-24b-mishap-trump-win" rel="noreferrer noopener">Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in his second term.</a>
Vought previously served as OMB&#8217;s deputy director during Trump&#8217;s first term. But his influence extends beyond OMB. He wrote the chapter on the Executive Office of the President in Project 2025, a conservative policy framework developed by The Heritage Foundation, The Hill <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5005710-trump-picks-project-2025-author-russell-vought-to-lead-budget-office/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
&#8220;He did an excellent job serving in this role in my First Term &#8211; We cut four Regulations for every new Regulation, and it was a Great Success!&#8221; Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113529338208908362" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">wrote</a> in a post on Truth Social on Friday. &#8220;We will restore fiscal sanity to our Nation.&#8221;
Trump praised Vought&#8217;s experience in public policy, describing him as an aggressive cost-cutter and deregulator who would help advance the &#8220;America First&#8221; agenda across federal agencies.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/42152586/judge-rejects-sec-bid-to-penalize-musk-over-missed-deposition" rel="noreferrer noopener">Judge Rejects SEC Bid to Penalize Musk Over Missed Deposition</a>
The president-elect emphasized Vought&#8217;s knowledge of dismantling the so-called &#8220;Deep State&#8221; and restoring self-governance to the American people, alongside a promise to restore fiscal discipline.
In response to the selection, Vought <a href="https://x.com/russvought/status/1860121532758204758?prefetchTimestamp=1732383856583" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">posted</a> on X, &#8220;There is unfinished business on behalf of the American people, and it&#8217;s an honor of a lifetime to get the call again.&#8221;
Project 2025, which includes input from scholars and policy experts, proposes sweeping changes such as reshaping the executive branch and reducing the size and funding of certain government agencies.
While Trump previously distanced himself from Project 2025 during his campaign, citing its controversial elements, his decision to appoint Vought as OMB director signals a strong alignment with its conservative priorities. The project has faced significant backlash from Democrats, who argue it threatens American democratic institutions.

Trump Picks Project 2025 Co-Author Russell Vought for OMB

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) has unveiled the framework for the California Jobs First Economic Blueprint, a comprehensive strategy aimed at fostering job creation and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/10/41547103/new-rules-old-challenges-californias-cannabis-industry-grapples-with-regulations" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">regional economic growth across the state</a>.
The blueprint focuses on building a sustainable economy by directing investments into ten key industry sectors, with a focus on innovation, sustainable growth, and access to good-paying jobs, per a <a href="https://www.gov.ca.gov/2024/11/21/regional-economic-development-plans/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">release</a> on the Governor&#8217;s official website.
The full plan will be released early next year, alongside $120 million in funding to support job-creating projects over the next three years.
Speaking in Fresno alongside community leaders and business owners from the Central San Joaquin region, Newsom said that this bottom-up approach, developed through extensive community input, would help shape the future of California&#8217;s economy.

&#8220;From agriculture to clean energy to manufacturing and everything in between, these blueprints will foster growth and expansion throughout every community of California,&#8221; Newsom said.
More 10,000 local residents and experts participated in identifying priority sectors that will drive regional economies.
The framework categorizes California&#8217;s economy into four key segments:
<ul>
<li>Strengthen (established sectors with leveling growth)</li>
<li>Accelerate (growing sectors poised for expansion with strategic investments)</li>
<li>Bet (emerging sectors with high investment potential), and</li>
<li>Anchor (foundational sectors that support broader industry and community activities). </li>
</ul>
According to Newsom, this approach will ensure that both current and future industries provide good, well-paying jobs for Californians, particularly in underserved communities.
As part of the California Jobs First initiative, the blueprint also emphasizes workforce development. Through this effort, California is focusing on ensuring its workforce is well-prepared to meet the specific needs of priority industries.
The state has also invested heavily in training programs, with over $4 billion in state funding directed towards workforce development, apprenticeship, and education initiatives.
Newsom&#8217;s plan builds on previous efforts, such as the Community Economic Resilience Fund (CERF) and the Regional Investment Initiative, which collectively aim to create high-quality, accessible jobs across all 13 of California&#8217;s regions.

Newsom Unveils Economic Blueprint To Ignite Job Growth, Sees 'Expansion Throughout Every Community of California'

Billionaire Elon Musk on Saturday shared a post on X  which said &#8220;The people want the Diddy &amp; Epstein Files.&#8221; Later he shared his perspective by saying &#8220;Yes&#8221; on the post.
Last month, President-elect Donald Trump stated that he would be open to releasing additional files concerning convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein if he were to return to the White House.

This is not the first time Musk has raised his concern around this issue. Last year Musk raised the question on Twitter, asking why the&nbsp;Department of Justice&nbsp;had not leaked&nbsp;Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell&#8216;s list of clients and why the media didn&#8217;t seem to care to look into the clients&#8217; identities.

A Manhattan court has released a list of people connected to Jeffrey Epstein, which has raised eyebrows and intensified speculation. Some of the 187 individuals previously only identified as "J Doe" in court papers have been identified, but other names reportedly remained sealed, including those of underage victims.
Musk's remarks have sparked mixed reactions, with some praising his call for justice and others questioning his involvement in such discussions. Known for engaging with hot-button topics, Musk often uses his platform to address societal and legal issues.
In December 2021, Maxwell was found&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ghislaine-maxwell-jeffrey-epsteins-former-girlfriend-found-guilty-in-sex-abuse-trial" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">guilty</a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/12/24823587/epstein-associate-ghislaine-maxwell-found-guilty-of-5-charges-in-sex-trafficking-case" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;of helping to recruit teenage girls</a>&nbsp;for&nbsp;Epstein, who&nbsp;died in August 2019.

Elon Musk Agrees That People Want To See Jeffrey Epstein Files

Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer (R-Ore.), a moderate who lost her House seat this month, has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">selected by President-elect Donald Trump</a> to lead the Labor Department in his new term.
Trump praised Chavez-DeRemer, who first won her seat with just 51% of the vote in 2022 and lost it by a two-point margin this year, for her work with both business and labor groups to support American workers, The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/22/business/economy/labor-secretary-lori-chavez-deremer-trump.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
Following Trump&#8217;s announcement, National Education Association President Becky Pringle acknowledged Chavez-DeRemer&#8217;s legislative record in the House, per a <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-cabinet-labor-secretary-lori-chavezderemer-feaa4672efac644aa60722d3a3215df1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">report</a> from AP News.
However, Pringle indicated that educators and working families would closely monitor the confirmation process and hoped Chavez-DeRemer would commit to supporting workers and students.

Though not a major figure in labor politics, Chavez-DeRemer garnered significant union support during her campaign. She shared endorsements with her Democratic opponent, Janelle Bynum, earning the backing of groups like the Teamsters, firefighters, and ironworkers.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, who spoke at one of Chavez-DeRemer&#8217;s rallies, remarked that she received more union endorsements than any Republican he had ever seen, The New York Times added.
While labor leaders criticized Trump&#8217;s labor policies during his first term, Chavez-DeRemer&#8217;s selection was praised by some in the labor movement. Sean O&#8217;Brien, president of the Teamsters, who had been in contact with Trump throughout the campaign, called her appointment a step toward creating more union jobs. Chavez-DeRemer, whose father was a Teamster, has emphasized her work on the fentanyl crisis and law enforcement during her campaign.
As labor secretary, Chavez-DeRemer will face the challenge of possibly reversing Biden-era policies, which focused on expanding worker protections, including new overtime eligibility and protections for gig workers.
Under Trump, it&#8217;s expected that many of these measures could be rolled back, alongside stricter enforcement of child labor laws and worker classification regulations, per The New York Times.
The Labor Department&#8217;s approach to immigrant workers and workplace safety could also shift, reflecting the broader policy changes anticipated under a second Trump term.

What Happened: The Cybertruck has attracted purchases from Tesla fans, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/03/37852639/tesla-cybertruck-the-new-celebrity-fashion-accessory-steve-aoki-big-sean-latest-to-own-ev">celebrities</a> and even been bought by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41246431/after-shaq-jay-z-beyonce-and-others-tesla-cybertruck-joins-joins-irvine-police-departments-fleet-wil">some police departments</a>.
President-elect Trump recently traveled to Starbase in Texas to watch the sixth flight test of SpaceX's Starship, where he also interacted with Tesla CEO and friend Elon Musk.
While pictures and videos of the visit have gone viral online, one of the items investors might be paying attention to is a video of a Cybertruck being in Trump's motorcade.
"Cybertruck in the motorcade on Starbase," Trump's Deputy Director of Communications Margo Martin tweeted with a video.

While it's unknown who was in the Cybertruck, the Tesla vehicle stood out as it was in the convoy of police and armored vehicles

Why It's Important: Given the importance to protect Trump during travel given past assassination attempts on his life, the use of a Cybertruck in the convoy could signal the trust in the stainless steel vehicle said to be bulletproof. &nbsp;
Investors will be watching to see if Cybertrucks could make their way into the president's convoy going forward or if this was only due to the close proximity to the SpaceX location.

Tesla Cybertruck Part Of Donald Trump's Motorcade, Will Vehicle Land Government Deals?

Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) experienced a 5% surge following a tweet by Elon Musk on X. This has sparked fresh speculations about the imminent payments service on Musk&#8217;s social app.
What Happened: Musk&#8217;s Friday post, which featured a screenshot of podcaster Joe Rogan&#8217;s X profile, triggered the increase in Dogecoin&#8217;s price. 
The post displayed a unique dollar icon, different from the app&#8217;s tipping service, leading to speculations that it could be related to the anticipated X Payments service.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Musk responded to the speculation with a simple &#8220;true&#8221;, further fueling the rumors. Dogecoin&#8217;s price has historically been influenced by payment-related news from any of Musk&#8217;s ventures, including X, formerly known as Twitter.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

There are speculations that once the service is live, it might support transactions with digital assets like DOGE, given Musk&#8217;s known fondness for the token. 
Musk&#8217;s electric car company, already accepts DOGE payments for certain merchandise purchases in its online store.

Over the past 24 hours, DOGE has advanced 6.16% and at the time of writing it was trading at $0.4332, outperforming the stagnant Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) prices. The token has risen 190% over the past month, trading at its highest level since May 2021.
Why It Matters: The surge in Dogecoin&#8217;s price following Musk&#8217;s tweet is significant as it highlights the influence Musk has over the cryptocurrency market. 
His tweet sparked speculations about the forthcoming X Payments service, which could potentially support transactions with digital assets like DOGE. 
This is particularly noteworthy given Musk&#8217;s known fondness for the token and the fact that his electric car company, Tesla Inc., already accepts DOGE payments for certain merchandise purchases. 
The rise in DOGE&#8217;s price also outperformed the stagnant bitcoin prices, indicating a growing interest in alternative cryptocurrencies.

Musk Tweet Sparks Dogecoin Surge, Fuels Speculation On X Payments

The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/dea">Drug Enforcement Administration </a>(DEA) has been barred from conducting random searches of travelers&#8217; belongings at airports and transit hubs following a Justice Department investigation that exposed corrupt practices. The investigation, led by Inspector General Michael Horowitz, uncovered failures to properly document searches, potential racial profiling and questionable partnerships with airline employees. 
One airline worker reportedly received tens of thousands of dollars over several years as a kickback for flagging passengers based on travel patterns, such as purchasing last-minute tickets. 
"The DOJ Office of the Inspector General (OIG) found that the DEA has repeatedly failed to comply with its own policies, creating significant operational and legal risks," according to the <a href="https://oig.justice.gov/news/doj-oig-releases-management-alert-identifying-concerns-deas-transportation-interdiction">report</a>.

The decision to suspend the searches was issued on November 12 by the deputy attorney general after reviewing the draft report. The Justice Department's memo restricts DEA agents from engaging in consensual encounters at transit locations unless tied to active investigations or approved under special circumstances.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Systemic Corruption</h2>
The report follows a widely circulated video released by the <a href="https://ij.org/press-release/department-of-justice-suspends-controversial-airport-interdictions-after-viral-footage-showing-dea-agents-threatening-abusing-innocent-traveler/">Institute for Justice</a> (IJ), a nonprofit civil rights organization. One case cited in the memo involved a traveler approached by a DEA Task Force Officer at an airport. The video shows a traveler, identified as David C., refusing to consent to a search at an airport. Despite his objections, agents took his backpack, claimed a drug-detection dog alerted them and conducted the search, which yielded no illegal items. The delay, which caused David to miss his flight, resulted in widespread public criticism.
Further investigation revealed systemic issues. The DEA rarely documents its searches unless they result in seizures or arrests, making it impossible to determine how many travelers have been impacted. In one case, musician Brian Moore had $8,500 seized at an airport, money intended for a music video project. He was never charged with a crime but spent a year and $15,000 in legal fees to recover his funds. Moore said the experience ruined his music career.
A 2016 <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2016/08/10/dea-travel-record-airport-seizures/88474282/">USA Today investigation</a> found that DEA agents seized over $209 million from more than 5,200 travelers at 15 major airports over a decade, with most funds shared with local police. Critics argue these practices incentivize unconstitutional searches for profit.
The Institute for Justice has since sued the DEA and TSA, advocating for legislation to eliminate these financial incentives. The DEA has yet to respond to the findings.

DEA Banned From Random Airport Searches After Scathing Justice Department Report Uncovers Corruption

A federal judge dismissed the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) request to penalize Elon Musk for skipping a court-ordered deposition in its investigation into his $44 billion acquisition of Twitter, now known as X.
What Happened: On Friday, Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley of the U.S. District Court in San Francisco determined that sanctions were unwarranted after Musk complied by testifying on Oct. 3 and agreed to reimburse the SEC's travel costs of $2,923, reports Reuters.
The SEC sought sanctions for Musk's failure to attend a Sept. 10 deposition as ordered, contending that merely covering travel costs would not deter individuals from ignoring court directives, particularly someone of Musk's financial stature. According to Forbes, Musk's net worth stands at $321.7 billion.
"Because the present circumstances forestall any occasion for meaningful relief that the court could grant, the SEC's request is moot," Corley wrote in the verdict.
Musk defended his actions, stating he had fulfilled the court's requirements by testifying in October. On Sept. 10, he was in Cape Canaveral, Florida, overseeing SpaceX's Polaris Dawn mission.

The SEC is probing whether Musk violated securities regulations by delaying disclosure of his Twitter stock purchases in early 2022. 
After the decision, Musk expressed his triumph on X . He responded to a post from a user who applauded his success against the SEC. Musk responded to the user saying, "SEC. The middle word is definitely ‘Elon's,' but I can never remember what the other two words stand for."

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
The regulator claims Musk waited at least 10 days longer than required, allowing him to acquire shares at lower prices before revealing his 9.2% stake and later announcing plans to buy the platform outright.
In July, Musk admitted misunderstanding SEC disclosure rules, calling his actions a "mistake."
What It Matters: This is not Musk's first legal clash with the SEC. In 2018, the agency sued him over Twitter posts about taking Tesla Inc. private. Musk settled by paying a $20 million fine, stepping down as Tesla's chairman, and agreeing to have company lawyers vet certain tweets in advance.
The case, SEC v. Musk, is being heard in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.

Judge Rejects SEC Bid to Penalize Musk Over Missed Deposition

The third and final monthly contest in Benzinga's paper trading competition powered by TradeZero kicked off on Nov. 15, giving contestants a chance to take home over $15,000 in cash and prizes as part of the more than $30,000 in cash and prizes offered during <a href="https://benzingapartners.go2cloud.org/aff_c?offer_id=467&amp;aff_id=1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the three-month run</a>.
The current leader of the third contest has posted an impressive gain, but as past contests have shown, it's still anyone's game.
The Contests:&nbsp;Powered by&nbsp;TradeZero, the&nbsp;<a href="https://benzingapartners.go2cloud.org/aff_c?offer_id=467&amp;aff_id=1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">World Championship of Trading</a>&nbsp;is the ultimate trading competition for investors to prove their keen eye during a three-month time period.
Contestants start each contest with a paper balance of $100,000. Each investor will have around one month to generate the highest profits from a starting balance of $100,000 in a simulated trading account.
Contestants in the World Championship of Trading will have access to Benzinga's Live Squawk product.
Investors will also gain exposure to TradeZero's newly patented short-selling tools.
Here's the leaderboard for the second contest through Nov. 22:
1st: James C.: $2,194,368.83
2nd: Mayank B.: $594,080.03
3rd: Willis R.: $357,886.00
All of the top 10 traders on the leaderboard have a balance of at least $226,000, gaining over 126% during the contest.
The leaderboard features some familiar names from past monthly contests. People who have followed the contests also know that the leaderboard often changes from the first week to the last week, meaning it's not too late to sign up and compete before the Dec. 8 deadline and the contest end date of Dec. 14.
Past Leaders: Benzinga<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/24/11/41957889/benzinga-world-championship-of-tradings-top-trader-up-over-7000-thanks-to-2024-election-tesla-options"> recently talked to</a> first-place leader Sebastian N from the second monthly contest to find out more about how he generated the huge gains in a short time.
&#8220;I was definitely waiting for the election,&#8221; Sebastian told Benzinga. &#8220;To win this contest you gotta go big.&#8221;
Knowing that Tesla Inc CEO Elon Musk had endorsed Donald Trump and the stock could gain from a Trump win, Sebastian said he tracked the electric vehicle stock.
The trader said the stock was already breaking out before the election and seemed like it was going to continue moving higher. Sebastain bought Tesla calls and made it the biggest trade he had made during the contest.
&#8220;If Trump wins, we&#8217;re gonna do well,&#8221; Sebastian said, recalling his trades.
The trader said he sold the Tesla calls shortly after Trump won the election, netting a large profit in the paper trading contest, but admits he could have made an even larger gain if he held onto them for longer.
Sebastian&#8217;s advice for anyone entering the third and final contest is to remember that the leaderboard is constantly changing and you can still win the contest.
&#8220;No matter where you are on the leaderboard, you can always improve on your trading.&#8221;

Benzinga World Championship Of Trading: Third And Final Contest Top Trader Up Over 2,000%, It's Not Too Late To Join, Compete For $15,000

Large holders of Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) have been making significant moves, with Dogecoin whales recently buying up 550 million DOGE tokens, valued at $214.5 million, in one day.
What Happened: The transactions, recorded on blockchain monitoring services, highlight the growing activity among Dogecoin's biggest investors. 
Blockchain experts note that such whale movements often signal potential market shifts, as these transactions can precede either price rallies or sell-offs. 
The transfers occurred amid a period of relative stability for Dogecoin, trading near $0.056 at the time of the transactions.

Why It Matters: Historically, Dogecoin's price has been highly susceptible to whale activity, prompting heightened attention from the crypto community.
Dogecoin, created in 2013 as a joke, has gained significant traction thanks to endorsements from figures like Elon Musk. Despite its origins, the cryptocurrency now ranks among the top digital assets by market capitalization.
The meme coin remains a popular choice for retail investors, although its price volatility has led to mixed opinions among analysts. This latest whale activity underscores the ongoing interest in Dogecoin among major holders, hinting at potential shifts in market sentiment.

Benzinga examined the prospects for<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas"> many investors&#8217; favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here&#8217;s a look at some of our top stories.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained around 2% this week, with the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq each rising approximately 1.7%. Despite NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) surpassing analysts&#8217; expectations for Q3 earnings and revenue, its stock traded flat, leaving the market&#8217;s rebound to unfold independently of its AI momentum.

A recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&amp;v=d5MfEgRmnvQ">call</a> on The Ramsey Show featured a woman who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/42044634/653125">opened up to Dave Ramsey</a>, admitting that despite filing for bankruptcy in 2019, she's back in debt again – to the tune of $118,000, excluding the mortgage – and her husband is completely unaware of the mess they're in.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Cost of Keeping up Appearances</h2>
&#8220;We are the poster child of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40431868/dave-ramsey-warns-the-one-money-error-youre-making-that-could-derail-your-financial-future">trying to impress people</a>,&#8221; the caller confessed. After buying a new house, she felt pressured to fill it with &#8220;nice things,&#8221; but this urge spiraled into financial chaos, leading her to open a staggering 18 credit cards to fund the lifestyle she thought they needed to maintain.

Her husband, who earns $35,000 a year, has no idea about their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40512938/dave-ramseys-blunt-advice-your-finances-are-80-behavior-avoid-this-one-costly-mistake">financial issues</a> because, as she explained, &#8220;He doesn&#8217;t even have access [to our finances].&#8221; She takes home $125,000 annually, plus another $15,000 from a side hustle, yet her spending habits have left them drowning in debt – all because of a desire to project an image of success.
The caller revealed that the $118,000 in debt was spread across various sources. She owes $1,300 to the IRS and $9,500 is tied up in "pay in 4" payment plans like PayPal (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PYPL#NASDAQ">PYPL</a>) and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37357053/openai-backed-swedish-bnpl-company-klarnas-ai-bot-cuts-repeat-queries-by-25-boosting-profits-by-40m">Klarna</a>. The biggest portion of the debt –$116,000 – comes from online personal loans through <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/prosper-review">platforms like Prosper</a>. On top of that, they have a $40,000 car loan and $5,500 in credit card balances.

This complicated mix of debt sources shows how far the situation has spiraled out of control. The buildup of loans, payment plans and credit lines has resulted in an impossible financial mess. The car loan by itself is already a big problem and with all the high-interest loans and credit card debt added on top, it&#8217;s really hard for them to make any progress without making big changes.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Wake-Up Call</h2>
Like always, Ramsey didn&#8217;t sugarcoat his advice. &#8220;You&#8217;re not going to be free or heal by yourself,&#8221; he told her. The key, according to Ramsey, is teamwork. &#8220;We need two things relationally: one is you go to him and say, &#8216;Honey, we&#8217;re in a mess – again – because I didn&#8217;t say no and you weren&#8217;t involved.'&#8221;
The caller admitted that her spending habits were deeply connected to her need for validation, saying, &#8220;It comes from my childhood,&#8221; but that didn&#8217;t sway Ramsey, who responded with his signature tough love: &#8220;You&#8217;re too dead gum old and rich income-wise to act like a 14-year-old girl that needs affirmation. It&#8217;s time to be a grown woman.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Plan to Move Forward</h2>
To get out of this financial hole, Ramsey laid out a clear but intense plan: They need to budget every month together, sell everything that isn't necessary and dramatically cut their lifestyle. &#8220;Sell everything, everything not tied down,&#8221; he said. The goal is to adopt what Ramsey called &#8220;scorched earth&#8221; living for 18 months – essentially, to live as frugally as possible and funnel every available dollar toward paying off the debt.
One of the biggest takeaways was the importance of not trying to impress others. According to Ramsey, affluent people frequently get to the point where they &#8220;don't give a crap what anybody thinks.&#8221; And for this caller, ending the debt cycle requires learning to disregard the opinions of others. &#8220;You've got to practice not having nice stuff and have people see you,&#8221; added co-host Dr. John Delony, encouraging her to confront her fears about appearances.

A Dave Ramsey Caller Opened Up 18 Credit Cards After Bankruptcy And Is $118,000 In Debt 'To Impress People.' Her Husband Has No Idea

Investors have been hit with an increased amount of short reports from some of the most well-known names in the space, which could be due to high valuations for stocks or could be coming after the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41768178/donald-trump-defeats-kamala-harris-to-win-2024-election">2024 presidential election results</a>.
What Happened: Over the past three months, big names in the short report space have taken on small and large companies claiming high valuations, accounting irregularities and other reasons that the stocks should trade lower.
Muddy Waters recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42097477/muddy-waters-carson-block-is-betting-against-elf-beauty-short-seller-believes-company-is-overstating-revenue-earnings-major-red-flag">issued a short report</a> on e.l.f. Beauty, which was the first report from the short seller in months.
Kerrisdale Capital recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/42092578/oklo-stock-slides-as-short-seller-sets-sights-on-altman-backed-nuclear-startup">issued a short report</a> on Oklo, its first published report since June.
Hindenburg, who has been issuing short reports on a monthly basis was the talk of the investing world when they took on technology company Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>), <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/short-ideas/24/08/40579899/super-micro-computer-stock-falls-on-short-report-hindenburg-says-company-has-accounting">accusing the company</a> of accounting, governance and compliance problems.
While the call was not popular at the time, given the company's soaring valuation, the stock is now down 28% over the last month after some of the alleged claims from Hindenburg were amplified<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/10/41625460/super-micro-computer-stock-dives-as-auditor-resigns-whats-going-on"> with the resignation</a> of the company's independent auditor.
Citron Research published an update on their Geo Group bullish case in September, the last post made on the company's website. However, the firm led by Andrew Left has been active on social media, with a post this week announcing the firm <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42118133/short-seller-andrew-left-targets-microstrategy-stock-as-hedge-against-bullish-bitcoin-bet-completely-detached-from-btc-fundamentals">had shorted shares </a>of the high-flying software company and Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) holder MicroStrategy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>).
The announcement of the short report by Left comes as the investor recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/40027424/gamestop-short-seller-and-citron-founder-andrew-left-pleads-not-guilty-to-fraud-charges">pleaded not guilty</a> to fraud charges in July.
Along with the recent growth of short reports from the firms who hadn't published in awhile, there are also regular short reports coming monthly from Grizzly Research and bi-weekly reports from The Bear Cave.

Why It's Important: While short reports have been a regular fixture for investors for years, both from investors who are betting against the stocks themselves with their own short positions, newer reports from the likes of The Bear Cave by Edwin Dorsey come from an investor who claims to never take stakes in the companies he writes about.
Whether short reports are being done to make profit betting against the stock or to provide public information for investors to make their own decisions on investments, the big question is why the increase in reports over the last several months.
There's likely two big reasons why.
The first big reason for the increase could be because of the narrative that short sellers and short reports will be targeted by the new White House administration.
Muddy Waters' CEO Carson Block said Elon Musk and Donald Trump have both publicly criticized short sellers in the past.
"We've already had some rhetoric, we might have some more anti-short seller rhetoric," Block told <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-21/carson-block-expects-more-anti-short-seller-rhetoric-under-trump?sref=TBDibEcD">Bloomberg</a>.
Block said Republican-led administrations are often lighter on enforcement, but he's not sure if Trump will roll back regulations.
"It is a question as to who is going to head the SEC," Block added.
The comment comes as SEC Chairman Gary Gensler recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42120607/gary-gensler-to-step-down-as-sec-chair-on-trumps-inauguration-day">announced he will</a> step down on Trump's inauguration day, ahead of the assumption that Trump was going to replace him with a new leader.
Trump Media &amp; Technology Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>), which was co-founded by Trump,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/04/38337541/trump-media-technology-group-alleges-naked-short-selling-seeks-nasdaqs-intervention"> has targeted </a>short sellers and alleged that naked short selling is the reason the stock has fallen in price several times.
Musk, who has often publicly criticized short sellers, recently<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39759646/as-tesla-ceo-elon-musk-wants-to-obliterate-short-sellers-expert-says-they-are-important-more-than-ev"> said he wanted</a> to "obliterate" short sellers.
The other reason for the increased short report volume could be due to stock market indexes trading near all-time highs and strong year-to-date gains.
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), which tracks the S&amp;P 500, is up 26.0% year-to-date. This return is currently the fourth best in the last 10 years and the ETF could still pass the returns of 26.2% (2023), 28.8% (2021) and 31.2% (2019) to move up the list. &nbsp;

Short Sellers Are Back – Flurry Of Big Calls From Muddy Waters, Citron And Others Raises Questions: Why Now?

Recent elections across the U.S. delivered mixed results for housing initiatives, with voters showing strong support for funding affordable housing while remaining skeptical of rent control measures, according to an analysis by Redfin Chief Economist Daryl Fairweather.
Rhode Island became a standout success story, with voters overwhelmingly approving a record-breaking $120 million housing bond. The measure, nearly doubling the state&#8217;s previous housing investment from three years ago, signals growing public recognition of the housing crisis.

</ul>
Several major cities also secured funding for affordable housing initiatives. Los Angeles voters approved a new half-cent sales tax for housing development, while Charlotte, North Carolina, passed a $100 million housing bond package. Baltimore followed with a $20 million bond measure for affordable housing projects.
San Francisco&#8217;s Proposition G secured $8.25 million annually for low-income rental subsidies, though Fairweather noted it might serve as a temporary fix rather than a long-term solution. &#8220;This helps low-income renters in the short term, but without adding more housing, it&#8217;s just a Band-Aid on the problem,&#8221; she said on X, formerly Twitter.
However, not all housing measures succeeded. Denver voters narrowly rejected Ballot Issue 2R, which would have generated $100 million annually through a sales tax increase for new housing development. California saw the defeat of two significant proposals: Proposition 33, which would have loosened rent control restrictions and Proposition 5, which aimed to lower the supermajority threshold for housing bonds.

The rejection of rent control measures extended beyond California. Hoboken, New Jersey voters struck down a proposal to raise rent caps on vacant units. Fairweather views the outcomes as potentially positive for housing supply, stating, &#8220;strict rent control keeps existing tenants happy but limits new investment and leads to fewer rentals in the long run.&#8221;
Local initiatives employed various approaches to raise housing funds. According to the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, communities used diverse funding mechanisms, including sales taxes in Lawrence, Kansas, real estate transfer taxes in Berkeley and Mountain View, California and lodging taxes in several Colorado municipalities.
Berkeley bucked the trend against rent control by approving Measure BB&#8217;s 5% rent cap. However, Fairweather and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40101676/nearly-50-economists-were-asked-how-they-feel-about-president-bidens-5-rent-cap-this-is-what-the">other economists suggest rent control measures could discourage future development</a>. "The best way to stabilize rents is to build more homes," Fairweather said.
Trending: Invest in $20+ trillion home equity market today across cities like Austin, Miami, and Los Angeles through a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/nada-cityfunds">unique 5-year term fund targeting a 14-20% IRR with minimums as low as $2,500</a>
The election results demonstrated that voters recognize the need for housing investment while remaining divided on policy approaches. While many communities showed willingness to fund affordable housing initiatives, rejecting certain measures highlights ongoing debate about the most effective solutions to address housing affordability.
Fairweather emphasized that while the Federal government <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/11/41968915/will-trumps-second-term-unlock-housing-lower-rates-more-development-on-the-table-experts-say">can aid in the housing crisis</a>, &#8220;local initiatives have a profound impact on the housing market, even if they don&#8217;t make national headlines.&#8221; The mix of successful and failed measures indicates that while voters broadly support addressing housing affordability, they remain selective about specific policy solutions and funding mechanisms.

2024 Election Housing Measures: What Passed, What Failed And What It Means For Supply, According To Redfin Chief Economist

Spirit Airlines has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, a strategic move to stabilize its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40512938/dave-ramseys-blunt-advice-your-finances-are-80-behavior-avoid-this-one-costly-mistake">finances </a>while keeping operations running smoothly. Known for its ultra-low-cost business model, the airline has faced mounting challenges, including over $1 billion in deferred debt, a $158 million quarterly loss this year and failed merger efforts with JetBlue and Frontier Airlines.&nbsp;

</ul>
According to a company statement, Spirit's restructuring plan involves $300 million in new financing and $350 million in equity investments from bondholders, which will slash nearly $795 million in debt. The airline expects to emerge from bankruptcy by early 2025.
CEO Ted Christie assured passengers that the restructuring would not affect flights and bookings in an open letter to customers. "You can continue to book and fly confidently now and in the future," Christie said. Spirit has pledged to maintain ticket sales, flights and loyalty programs without disruption throughout the process.
Spirit's financial woes didn't develop overnight. According to CNBC, the airline hasn't turned a profit since 2019, when it lost $335 million. The COVID-19 pandemic significantly affected travel demand, hitting Spirit's operations hard.&nbsp;

The recall of Pratt &amp; Whitney engines in 2023 further strained the airline by disrupting fleet availability, while rising fuel costs and stiff competition from larger carriers put additional pressure on margins.
Regulatory hurdles compounded these challenges. In January, U.S. courts blocked Spirit's $3.8 billion merger with JetBlue, citing concerns about reduced competition in the budget travel market.&nbsp;
Analysts warn, however, that more drastic measures, such as cutting routes or reducing flight frequencies, could still be necessary. Statista reported that Spirit's total flight capacity declined by 33% to 27.7 billion available seat miles between 2019 and 2020.
TD Cowen's senior research analyst, Helane Becker, told CNBC, &#8220;Spirit Airlines' goal should be to preserve value as much as they can."

In response to its financial struggles, Spirit has begun implementing cost-saving measures. The Associated Press reported that the airline plans to sell 23 older planes for $519 million and cut jobs, saving an estimated $80 million annually.&nbsp;
The Wall Street Journal revealed that Spirit Airlines and Frontier Airlines have resumed talks about a potential merger, causing their stock prices to climb. However, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41312615/investors-pour-billions-into-openai-whats-driving-this-unprecedented-surge-in-funding">investor </a>confidence has faltered amid these setbacks. According to CNBC, Spirit's stock price dropped from $3.22 to $1.15 after The Wall Street Journal reported that the company was set to file for bankruptcy.&nbsp;
Tom Fitzgerald, an analyst at TD Cowen, recently highlighted Spirit Airlines&#8217; precarious situation on UPI. He stated that balancing cost-cutting measures with maintaining passenger confidence is critical for the airline&#8217;s survival. He noted that customers might begin avoiding the airline if its financial struggles intensify.&nbsp;

Debt Piles Up And Losses Mount – Spirit Airlines Finally Files For Bankruptcy After Struggling To Stay Afloat

Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban believes micromanagement is a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/02/36955564/the-moment-mark-cuban-knew-he-could-not-work-in-the-corporate-world-his-bank-boss-yelled-at-him-for">sign that something is broken</a>.
What To Know:&nbsp;Ofek Lavian, CEO of fintech company&nbsp;Forage, recently posted a thread on&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/OfekLavian/status/1766950034581700697">X</a>&nbsp;focused on counterintuitive leadership principles. Cuban responded to the thread, noting that he agreed with everything except for the post on micromanaging.
"Pretty darn good list. Agree with all but micromanage," Cuban said. "Micromanage early. Trust the process or fix what's broken if you always have to micromanage."
CNBC&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/03/22/mark-cuban-micromanaging-is-a-toxic-trait-with-one-exception.html">reported</a>&nbsp;Cuban's opinion on micromanaging was formed from personal experience with his former company Broadcast.com.
Cuban reportedly micromanaged his employees in his early days as he expected them to match his own work ethic. This created a situation in which Cuban was always focused on pushing employees to be better and work faster without thinking about how he was coming off.
"I wish somebody would have told me to be nicer,&#8221; Cuban reportedly said on the "Bio Eats World" podcast last year.

Cuban's "go, go, go" mentality and micromanaging tendencies actually hurt the company in its early stages. Cuban recalled one of his business partners pulling him aside and telling him he was scaring some of the employees with his management style. Still, Cuban sold the company to Yahoo for $5.7 billion in stock in 1999.
Lavian's post included a link to a video featuring&nbsp;Shopify Inc&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NYSE">SHOP</a>) co-founder and CEO&nbsp;Tobi Lütke,&nbsp;who argued that the idea of micromanaging is bad is "the dumbest idea on planet Earth."
Although Cuban disagreed with the take, Lavian responded to Cuban, thanking him for his input.
"I try to hire the right team so I don&#8217;t have to micromanage, but I don&#8217;t always get it right," Lavian said.
"Once I know I can trust someone to get the little things right, I know they can devote the same level of detail and attention for the big ones that truly matter."
