Elon Musk, billionaire entrepreneur and one of the most influential voices in tech, has been tapped to lead the "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE), an initiative announced by President-elect Donald Trump. Musk, who reportedly invested over $200 million to support Trump's reelection, has made it clear that his mission is to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42140065/with-musk-and-ramaswamy-preparing-to-slash-entire-government-agencies-heres-which-departments-employ-the-most-americans-and-their-salaries">drastically streamline the federal government</a> by eliminating redundancy and cutting waste.
Musk's criticisms of the federal government's inefficiencies have been widely shared, including during an interview with TCN, which he reposted on X on Jan. 6, 2025. In the clip, Musk questioned the overwhelming size of the federal bureaucracy, asking, "Do we really need, whatever it is, 428 federal agencies?" He went on to say, "There are so many [agencies] that people have never even heard of and that have overlapping areas of responsibility."

</ul>
Proposing a dramatic reduction, Musk has called for cutting the number of federal agencies down to just 99, which he argued is "more than enough." He elaborated, "We should have fewer agencies and they certainly shouldn't have overlapping responsibilities."
While Musk didn't name specific agencies in his remarks, it's worth noting that many federal entities <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/42897257/hello-wake-up-elon-musk-warns-joe-rogan-america-is-toast-and-says-there-wont-be-money-for-anything-unless-the-country-takes-ac">operate outside the public eye</a>, which underscores his argument about government complexity. Here are some examples of lesser-known federal agencies that highlight the vastness of the bureaucracy:
National Underwater Reconnaissance Office (NURO): A secretive agency that conducts underwater espionage and retrieves sunken foreign vessels.
Special Collection Service: A joint CIA-NSA unit operating covertly to gather intelligence.
Office of Navajo and Hopi Indian Relocation: An agency dealing with tribal land disputes.
AbilityOne Commission: Focused on creating job opportunities for people with disabilities in federal manufacturing and service roles.
Christopher Columbus Fellowship Foundation: A little-known organization that likely deals with historical education or commemoration.
National Mediation Board: Dedicated to labor-management relations in the railroad and airline industries.

These agencies – and many others like them – reflect how federal operations extend into niche areas that often overlap or duplicate efforts elsewhere.
Musk also highlighted that the number of federal agencies has grown excessively, with "more federal agencies than there are years since the establishment of the United States." He described this as "a lot" and "crazy," signaling his belief that the government has reached an unsustainable level of complexity.&nbsp;
He also proposed a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41458425/release-elon-musk-on-the-federal-government-kevin-oleary-backs-musks-cost-cutting-power">comprehensive review of federal regulations</a>, stating, "We need a review of regulations to say which ones are sensible and which ones are not." He explained that each year regulators add more rules, calling it "automatic." With more laws in play, he argued, "basically everything is legal so we can't get anything done. We need some kind of garbage collection for regulations that don't make sense."

While the proposal to reduce federal agencies is bold, it's not without controversy. Implementing such dramatic cuts would face significant legal, political and logistical challenges.&nbsp;
Public opinion on federal agencies is mixed. For instance, a 2024 Pew Research Center survey found that Americans generally view many federal agencies favorably, with most receiving more positive than negative ratings. Critics argue that reducing the number of agencies could disrupt essential services, particularly in areas like veterans' affairs or housing, where federal support is critical.
Whether the DOGE initiative succeeds or faces pushback, it represents a significant push to challenge the status quo in Washington. Musk's direct, no-nonsense style has brought attention to an issue that many Americans have long questioned: is the federal government too big to function efficiently? The answer, according to Musk, is a resounding yes.

Elon Musk Asks 'Do We Really Need 428 Federal Agencies?' – Points Out There Are 'So Many People Have Never Heard Of' And They Do The Same Thing

BMO Capital analyst Brian Pitz maintained Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) with an Outperform and raised the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NFLX/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target from&nbsp;$825&nbsp;to&nbsp;$1000</a>.
Netflix has 70 million advertising-based video-on-demand (AVOD) monthly active users (MAUs) (versus 40 million in May).
Pitz estimates Netflix will have 90 million AVOD monthly active users by the end of 2025. 
AVOD monetization is gaining traction among Brand advertisers, with SMBs to come given revamped programmatic capabilities.

Given this backdrop, Pitz estimated 4.5 ads per hour, rising to 5 in 2026E, which could prove conservative.
WWE on Netflix <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/42827316/netflix-brings-wwe-monday-night-raw-to-streaming-starting-january-6" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">began on Jan. 6</a> and should result in significant engagement improvement compared to Peacock (Pitz estimates 2-3 times engagement improvement).
Pricing remains an optionality for both Standard and Premium tiers in 2025.
Pitz raised her end-2025E AVOD users to 90 million (versus 70 million MAU in the fourth quarter of 2024E) from 60 million following successful live events in the fourth quarter of 2024E and the beginning of WWE in the first quarter of 2025E with upside potential from Women&#8217;s World Cup Soccer in 2027 and unannounced content.
With ~180 billion hours viewed (2 hours per user per day), Pitz estimated Netflix would exit 2025E with just 4.5 ads per hour per member.
Pitz channel checks indicate that AVOD monetization is gaining traction.
Content initiatives are producing massive viewership. For example, Squid Games 2 debuted with 68 million views in one week, while Tyson/Paul generated 108 million live viewers and an estimated 125 million (live+1). The inaugural Raw episode attracted a 116% increase in U.S. viewers versus 2024E audience levels. 
Pitz expects the Women&#8217;s World Cup to be a hit, which ensures attractive ROAS across multiple verticals. Netflix Standard and YouTube Premium pricing have been in line for nearly 10 years, while YouTube TV and Netflix Premium remain 2-7 times below Cable TV pricing.
CTV pricing levers should continue for several years.
Pitz&#8217;s 2025E revenue is mainly unchanged at 12% growth (guidance is 11-13%). The analyst modeled 2026E revenue of $48.7 billion and ~30% operating income margins.
Price Action: NFLX stock is up 2.15% at $846.22 at last check Wednesday.

LRE (Leeward Renewable Energy), a leading American renewable energy company, today announced over 700-megawatt alternating current (MWac) of renewable energy projects in Oklahoma that are supported in part by long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) with Google.
These projects are strategically sited to support Google's data center operations and leadership in artificial intelligence (AI). They will bolster the reliability of Oklahoma's electric grid by adding renewable capacity that improves stability and diversifies the energy mix, while also supporting national energy independence. This collaboration reinforces LRE's commitment to delivering innovative solutions that address the evolving energy needs of its partners and the communities where its projects are based.
Construction has begun on the 372-MWac Mayes County Solar Portfolio, located just within one mile from Google's data center in Pryor, Oklahoma. Together with the Twelvemile Solar Project 1 &amp; 2 (152.5 MWac) and the Twelvemile 3 Solar Project (200 MWac), located in Southern Oklahoma, these projects total 724 MWac of solar capacity in Oklahoma.
LRE purchased the Mayes County Solar Portfolio earlier this year from Red River Renewable Energy, LLC ("Red River"), a joint venture between SunChase Power, LLC ("SunChase") and Eolian, L.P. The energy generated by the solar portfolio is delivered under firm transmission service to the Grand River Dam Authority ("GRDA"). GRDA plans to utilize the clean energy produced by the projects to support operations at Google's data center.
The Mayes County Solar Portfolio consists of three solar projects: Salt Branch Solar (145 MWac), Huckleberry Solar (125 MWac), and Mayes Solar (102 MWac). The projects will generate substantial economic investment in the community, creating over 300 construction jobs and contributing an estimated $76 million in tax revenue to Mayes County over their lifespan. This funding will support vital county initiatives and schools. Additionally, over $60,000 has been donated to the local Red Cross, the Chamber of Commerce, and other essential services, further strengthening community resources.
The power purchase agreements were facilitated through LEAP&#x2122; (<a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.leveltenenergy.com%2Fpost%2Flevelten-energys-accelerated-process-tm-leap-tm-now-widely-available%23%3A%7E%3Atext%3DBy%2520combining%2520the%2520RFP%2520and%2Ca%2520wide%2520range%2520of%2520technologies.&amp;esheet=54180385&amp;newsitemid=20250115123798&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=LevelTen+Energy%26%238217%3Bs+Accelerated+Process%29&amp;index=1&amp;md5=8bc1a1af5423f333a40c37f70a9e0a24">LevelTen Energy's Accelerated Process)</a>, which was <a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fcloud.google.com%2Fblog%2Ftopics%2Fsustainability%2Fa-new-approach-to-clean-energy-power-purchasing-agreements%3Fe%3D0&amp;esheet=54180385&amp;newsitemid=20250115123798&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=co-developed&amp;index=2&amp;md5=3b7e548b91177da6b178bb0fc08e8a34">co-developed</a> by Google and LevelTen Energy to make sourcing and executing clean energy PPAs more efficient, and contribute to Google's ambitious 2030 <a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fsustainability.google%2Fprogress%2Fenergy%2F&amp;esheet=54180385&amp;newsitemid=20250115123798&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=goal&amp;index=3&amp;md5=bd9e05a205bfee14edba006b9403cac0">goal</a> to run on 24/7 carbon-free energy (CFE) on every grid where it operates.

Elon Musk criticized the SEC after being sued for allegedly failing to disclose a substantial stake in X (formerly known as Twitter) before his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42993322/elon-musk-faces-sec-lawsuit-for-allegedly-hiding-twitter-stake-allowing-him-to-buy-shares-at-artificially-low-prices">acquisition of the platform</a>.
What Happened: Elon Musk <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1879322286291054653?s=46">called</a> the SEC on Wednesday on X a &#8220;totally broken organization&#8221; that is focusing on trivial cases and ignoring many genuine crimes that go unpunished.
The SEC alleged Musk&#8217;s omission to disclose his stake in Twitter allowed him to acquire the company at an artificially low price.
Dogecoin co-founder Billy Markus, known pseudonymously as Shibetoshi Nakamoto, mocked the SEC&#8217;s argument, pointing out that Musk paid $44 billion for Twitter, a price far above analysts&#8217; valuation of $30 billion.
Chief economist and global strategist Peter Schiff echoed Musk&#8217;s sentiment. 
Schiff <a href="https://x.com/PeterSchiff/status/1879538895958028478">noted</a> that the SEC accused Musk of costing X shareholders $150 million due to a delayed ownership disclosure but argued that Musk ultimately generated billions for shareholders. 
Schiff questioned what the SEC has done to genuinely benefit investors.

Why It Matters: Musk has faced increasing scrutiny from the SEC, particularly over his 2022 Twitter buyout. 
His legal team has accused the agency of engaging in &#8220;years of harassment.&#8221;
In October 2024, the SEC escalated its stance by rejecting Musk&#8217;s settlement offer related to missed deposition obligations, opting instead to seek sanctions.
With Donald Trump's inauguration next week, Musk's role in the proposed Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.) could also draw attention. 
The advisory commission aims to optimize resource use within government agencies.

If You Invested $100 In This Stock 5 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today

When you&#8217;re the world&#8217;s third-richest man – according to Forbes – with a net worth of $209 billion, buying real estate for price tags that would be shocking to most is just another day at the office for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/options/25/01/42791302/looking-at-oracles-recent-unusual-options-activity">Oracle</a> founder <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42567738/larry-ellison-and-steve-jobs-once-quietly-plotted-to-save-apple-and-reinstate-jobs-as-ceo-wasnt-worth-much-back-then-about-5-billion">Larry Ellison</a>. His recent $202 million purchase of a stately London office building is the latest jewel in a glittering real estate portfolio.
According to CoStar News, Ellison has agreed to buy the West End property from Hong Kong-listed investor Chinese Estates. The property, located at 11-12 James Square, is currently entirely vacant, and Ellison, 80, is thought to be buying it for one of his businesses. Chinese Estate purchased the building from Malaysia&#8217;s Employees Provident Fund for £175 million ($216 million in 2017).

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Over $1 Billion In Real Estate</h2>
The purchase is notable for Ellison, as most of his real estate holdings – valued at over $1 billion – thus far have been U.S.-based in California, Rhode Island, Hawaii, and Palm Beach. Dubbed &#8220;the nation&#8217;s most avid trophy-home buyer&#8221; by the Wall Street Journal in 2011, Ellison&#8217;s penchant for picking up prestige properties has hardly abated. Here&#8217;s a closer look.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">California Dreaming</h2>
According to AOL, in 1988, a decade after founding Oracle, Ellison purchased a $3.9 million, 10,000-square-foot home in San Francisco&#8217;s upscale Pacific Heights neighborhood. Seven years later, in 1995, Ellison purchased a 23-acre estate in Woodside, California, for $12 million. The tech mogul reportedly spent $200 million renovating the home, modeling it on a 16th-century Japanese imperial palace, completing it in 2004.
Outside of his role with Oracle, Ellison is perhaps known for helping make Malibu, CA, what it is today. He started buying homes in the former laid-back surf town three decades ago. Today, he owns eleven properties in Malibu&#8217;s Carbon Beach, an area referred to as &#8220;Billionaire&#8217;s Beach&#8221; because of its high net-worth residents, as detailed in the Wall Street Journal. Ellison also owns multiple buildings and commercial ventures. Among them is the Japanese-inspired Nobu Ryokan Hotel, where rates start at a minimum of $2,000 a night.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Newport, R.I., Historic Mansion</h2>
Ellison also owns properties in Newport, Rhode Island, another beachy enclave on the opposite side of the country from Malibu. His primary property is the Beechwood Mansion on Bellevue Avenue, built in 1851 and occupied by the Astor family. Ellison purchased the home in 2010 for a reported $10.5 million and, according to Forbes, spent over $100 million converting it into a museum.
The tech titan also owns properties in Tahoe. In 2018, he bought the famed Cal Neva Lodge out of bankruptcy for $35.8 million and sold a home in 2014 for $20 million.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Kyoto Art Museum</h2>
Ellison also reportedly owns a historic garden villa in Kyoto, Japan, on the grounds of Nanzen-ji, a Zen Buddhist temple. The garden was listed for $86 million. In 2012, Ellison told<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2012/10/02/cnbc-exclusive-cnbc-transcript-oracle-ceo-larry-ellison-sits-down-oneonone-with-maria-bartiromo-today-on-cnbc.html"> CNBC</a> that he planned to convert the property into a Japanese art museum.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Lanai</h2>
Ellison owns 98% of the Hawaiian Island of Lanai, including a $3,000-a-night spa called Sensei Retreat and a solar-powered hydroponic greenhouse. He purchased the Island from former Dole Foods owner David Murdock in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/11/42255404/dole-fruit-founder-sells-the-last-of-his-lanai-property-to-oracles-larry-ellison">2012 for $300 million</a>, with the 101-year-old ex-fruit impresario Murdock listing his remaining house there only recently for $17 million.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Porcupine Creek</h2>
According to Forbes, Ellison bought Porcupine Creek for $42.9 million in 2011 and opened the 230-acre property that was once Larry Ellison&#8217;s private estate for select guests as a Sensei resort based on his Lanai retreat bearing the same name. The getaway includes eight villas – two and four-bedroom residences with full kitchens, Japanese-style soaking tubs and robot toilets, creekside patios, and outdoor rain showers. No more than 68 guests will ever be on the property at the same time.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Palm Beach</h2>
One of Ellison&#8217;s most recent purchases was the 2022 $173 million acquisition of a Manalapan, FL, compound in a ritzy town just south of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/12/42499834/palm-beach-luxury-home-sales-take-off-after-trump-election-win-with-residents-looking-bask-in-mar-a-lago-glamor">Palm Beach</a>. According to USA Today, the transaction marked the highest-ever residential sale in Florida.
Soon after, the Palm Beach Post reported that Ellison bought the luxury Eau Palm Beach Resort and Spa in Manalapan for $277.39 million. The Mediterranean-style, 300-plus-room resort was previously owned by Zinfandel Holdings, a Delaware limited liability company affiliated with the Lewis Trust Group. Ellison plans to improve the 7-acre Eau Palm Beach Resort &amp; Spa at 100 S. Ocean Blvd., which includes a 42,000-square-foot spa, three tennis courts, two pools, and more than 30,000 square feet of meeting and event space.

YieldMax, a prominent ETF provider managing over $8.9 billion in assets, kicked off its Portfolio Option Income ETF series with the launch of the YieldMax Crypto Industry &amp; Tech Portfolio Option Income ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LFGY#NYSE">LFGY</a>).

The ETF can pinch your pockets, with a net expense ratio of 0.99%. However, given its offerings and solid income-generating strategies, the cost seems reasonable. 
The ETF primarily invests in a portfolio of 15 to 30 companies in the realms of cryptocurrency and technology — essentially firms involved in decentralized finance, blockchain technologies, crypto platforms, and emerging markets.
The fund also employs an options-writing strategy to boost income. It writes options contracts on its portfolio securities, aiming to provide consistent income, preserve capital during market downturns, and participate in limited share price gains of its underlying securities.
Like most of its ETFs, YieldMax plans to deliver weekly distributions for its Crypto Industry &amp; Tech Portfolio Option Income ETF. The first payout is expected on Jan. 22.
Notably, the ETF holds cash or short-duration U.S. Treasuries as collateral for its options strategies. This allows further income generation.
Experts are rooting for a great year for crypto in 2025. Online broker VT Markets predicts the cryptocurrency sector will witness greater regulatory clarity and global market acceptance. This makes the Crypto Industry &amp; Tech Portfolio Option Income ETF launch a timely move for gaining exposure to this industry.
LFGY joins YieldMax's solid lineup of more than 35 ETFs, including popular names such as the YieldMax TSLA Option Income Strategy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLY#NYSE">TSLY</a>) and the YieldMax NVDA Option Income Strategy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDY#NYSE">NVDY</a>), which address a multitude of investor needs by employing options strategies across various sectors.
