President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/news/trumps-doge-with-musk-at-the-helm-riddled-with-conflicts-of-interest-says-clinton-era-official-robert-reich/ar-AA1u3Joj">appointed DOGE</a> or the Department of Government Efficiency could potentially save $50–100 billion annually, according to Congressional Budget Office (CBO) analyses, said Mario Georgiou, CFA and executive director, head of investments at InCred Global Wealth U.K.
What Happened: Georgiou said that DOGE &#8220;tasked with cutting wasteful spending, could play a role in improving fiscal discipline, but the scale of potential savings is expected to be modest.&#8221;
The U.S. federal budget deficit could reach $1.7 trillion in 2024, entailing mandatory spending on Social Security and Medicare, which accounts for over 60% of expenditures, Georgiou said. &#8220;Even if the DOGE achieves its objectives, potential savings are estimated at $50–100 billion annually, according to Congressional Budget Office analyses, which would have only a marginal impact compared to total federal outlays of approximately $6.7 trillion in 2024,&#8221; he added.
However, Tesla Inc. and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42069803/elon-musks-doge-job-applications-require-x-premium-subscription">who will co-lead DOGE</a> with Republican politician Vivek Ramaswamy had called for &#8220;at least $2 trillion&#8221; in budget cuts last month while speaking at a rally in New York.
On Wednesday, Musk and Ramaswamy outlined their vision for DOGE, &#8220;The two of us will advise DOGE at every step to pursue three major kinds of reform: regulatory rescissions, administrative reductions, and cost savings,&#8221; the duo wrote in a <a href="https://www.wsj.com/opinion/musk-and-ramaswamy-the-doge-plan-to-reform-government-supreme-court-guidance-end-executive-power-grab-fa51c020">WSJ</a> opinion piece on Nov. 20.
Why It Matters: In their opinion piece, the duo said &#8220;DOGE will help end federal overspending by aiming $500 billion-plus in annual federal expenditures that are unauthorized by Congress or being used in ways that Congress never intended.&#8221;
Musk and Ramaswamy aimed a few expenditure programs along with $300 million provided to the other &#8220;progressive groups.&#8221; They mentioned $535 million allotted to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and $1.5 billion in grants to Planned Parenthood annually.
Discretionary spending—where most inefficiencies and &#8220;waste&#8221; are typically identified, &#8220;constitutes a smaller portion of the budget and offers limited opportunities for impactful cuts​​,&#8221; Georgiou added.
Musk and Ramaswamy highlighted that several federal contracts have gone unexamined for years. They suggested that a temporary suspension of payments would facilitate comprehensive audits, resulting in substantial cost savings.
&#8220;The Pentagon recently failed its seventh consecutive audit, suggesting that the agency's leadership has little idea how its annual budget of more than $800 billion is spent.&#8221;

&#8220;We are focused on delivering cost savings for taxpayers,&#8221; the duo said in their piece.
Musk and Ramaswamy swiftly defended their stance on cutting the budgets of a few entitlement programs. &#8220;Critics claim that we can't meaningfully close the federal deficit without aiming for entitlement programs like Medicare and Medicaid, which require Congress to shrink. But this deflects attention from the sheer magnitude of waste, fraud, and abuse that nearly all taxpayers wish to end,&#8221; they added.

The Securities and Exchange Commission&#8217;s (SEC) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42098407/donald-trump-reportedly-eyeing-the-first-crypto-focused-role-in-the-white-house">lawsuits against cryptocurrency companies</a> will likely reach settlements once Chair Gary Gensler steps down in January 2025, according to crypto asset manager Pantera&#8216;s chief legal officer Katrina Paglia.
What Happened: Speaking at the North American Blockchain Summit in Dallas on Thursday, Paglia <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/sec-lawsuits-quietly-go-away-after-gensler-steps-down-pantera-clo">said</a>, according to Cointelegraph that while the SEC won&#8217;t completely withdraw its claims, many cases will &#8220;quietly go away&#8221; with defendants paying settlements under &#8220;neither admit nor deny&#8221; terms.
&#8220;The regulator will get to make some level of a statement and get something for the value of time and energy spent,&#8221; Paglia said, noting this would be &#8220;very beneficial&#8221; for resolving the extensive litigation.
The comments come as President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s transition team actively shapes what appears to be a dramatically different approach to crypto regulation.

The billionaire Republican megadonor and Citadel CEO Ken Griffin has expressed openness to selling a minority stake in the $65 billion hedge fund he established in 1990.
What Happened: Griffin has previously sold stakes in his ventures. Two years ago, Sequoia Capital acquired a stake in Citadel Securities for $1.15 billion, valuing the market maker at $22 billion. Recently, Citadel Securities received a $5 billion investment offer from a private equity firm, which Griffin mentioned would help the company remain private longer.
In an <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-21/ken-griffin-says-he-s-open-to-selling-minority-stake-in-citadel">interview</a> with&nbsp;Bloomberg on Thursday at the Economic&nbsp;Club of New York, Griffin stated,&nbsp;"We would be open to&nbsp;the possibility of selling a&nbsp;minority stake in Citadel at&nbsp;some point in the future."
Griffin highlighted the challenges of public capital markets, stating,&nbsp;"We need to make being&nbsp;public in the United States&nbsp;a much more attractive proposition."&nbsp;
Despite the offer, Griffin did not confirm acceptance and ruled out taking Citadel Securities public soon. When considering potential partners, Griffin seeks firms similar to Sequoia that can enhance Citadel&#8217;s business operations.

Why It Matters:&nbsp;Griffin, a prominent figure in the financial world, has built&nbsp;Citadel&nbsp;into a powerhouse with over $65 billion in assets. As a mega-donor to the Republican Party, he recently voiced concerns over&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42056528/gop-megadonor-ken-griffin-warns-of-slippery-slope-in-trumps-tariff-policies-sees-us-returning-to-the-business-of-business">Donald Trump&#8216;s tariff policies</a>, warning they could hinder U.S. competitiveness. 
In the past year, Citadel has achieved remarkable financial success, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/23/12/36365068/show-me-the-money-inside-ken-griffins-citadels-jaw-dropping-7-billion-return">returning $7 billion to clients </a>after a 30% profit surge. Citadel&#8217;s multistrategy fund, Wellington, has gained nearly 15% year-to-date, making it one of the top-performing hedge funds.

Gap, Ross Stores And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Friday

Deepwater Asset Management's managing partner Gene Munster has weighed in on the implications of Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41616230/sundar-pichai-admits-doj-proposals-could-have-unintended-consequences-google-mapping-out-plan-b-in-c">regulatory challenges</a>, including the potential divestment of the Chrome browser.
What Happened: On Thursday, in an interview with CNBC, Munster highlighted the potential impact of a Chrome spin-off on Google&#8217;s search market share.
According to Munster, spinning off Chrome could reduce Google&#8217;s dominant 90% search market share in developed regions to approximately 80%.
This shift could significantly affect Google&#8217;s search growth, which has been averaging 10–14% in recent quarters, potentially dropping to low single digits or even negative in the short term.
He said, &#8220;People love Google, and they will slowly come back,&#8221; but the stock is down about 5% because this gets to the &#8220;core of half their business, which is search.&#8221;&nbsp;
Despite these concerns, he believes the likelihood of a Chrome spinout is low, citing a lack of precedent for such a move.

Munster also pointed out that Google's search business forms a significant portion of its revenue and is also a critical pillar for its AI initiatives like Gemini. A drop in search market share could weaken Google's ability to compete with rivals such as ChatGPT-parent OpenAI.
He went on to speak about the interconnectedness of regulatory challenges, noting that the DOJ's scrutiny of Google&#8217;s search deal with Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) could further damage the company's search business.
Earlier this year, a lawsuit uncovered that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42083150/googles-20b-search-deal-with-apple-faces-collapse-after-antitrust-ruling-what-it-could-means-for-both-tech-giants?itm_source=parsely-api">Apple received a substantial $20 billion</a> in 2022 to set Google as the default search engine on the Safari browser for iPhones.
For investors, the stakes are high. Munster warned that if such worst-case scenarios unfold, Google's stock could drop another 10–15%.

Why It Matters: The DOJ has been actively pursuing measures to dismantle Google&#8217;s search monopoly, demanding <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/42105079/googles-unlawful-behavior-stifles-market-entry-for-rivals-doj-says-alphabet-must-sell-chrome-to-end-search-monopoly">Google divest its Chrome browser</a>. This move is part of broader efforts to restore competition in the search market.
The DOJ has also suggested that Google might need to sell its Android operating system if other measures fail.
The impact of these legal actions has been significant, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/42119020/alphabet-bleeds-over-120-billion-in-market-value-eyes-worst-day-in-10-months-after-doj-demands-google-chrome-sale">Alphabet&#8217;s market value</a> dropping by over $120 billion on Thursday, marking its steepest decline since January.
In response to the DOJ&#8217;s push, Perplexity AI&#8217;s CEO has also speculated about acquiring Chrome, while OpenAI is considering developing its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/42130303/chatgpt-parent-openai-considers-building-its-own-web-browser-to-challenge-googles-search-monopoly-following-doj-push-to-break-up-chrome-dominance">own web browser to challenge</a> Google&#8217;s dominance.
Price Action: On Thursday, Alphabet's Class A shares fell 4.74%, closing at $167.63, while Class C shares dropped 4.56%, ending at $169.24. In after-hours trading, Class A shares declined an additional 0.42% to $166.93, and Class C shares decreased 0.38%, closing at $168.59, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
