In a recent Fox Business segment, O'Leary discussed how complicated rules and taxes are making it harder for companies across industries.

"If they just solved for simplifying tax and deregulated the economy, just say 30%, pulled some of that regulation out," O'Leary said. According to O'Leary, the costs associated with staying compliant – like paying auditors, consultants and lawyers – are going up by about 20% yearly. "The cost that I have to spend each year just to remain compliant goes up at about 20% a year between all the consultants, the auditors, the lawyers and the changing rules of regulation," he shared.
O'Leary explained that he operates across all 11 sectors of the economy and has never seen such an escalation in costs as he has in the last five years. He&#8217;s not alone either; many other business leaders share his concerns. He mentioned that if you spoke to the CEOs of the S&amp;P 500 companies, they would tell you these regulatory costs are among the most rapidly growing expenses they face.

O&#8217;Leary hopes that by bringing in business-minded leadership – people like Elon Musk, who has already shown his ability to cut through inefficiencies at Twitter or Vivek Ramaswamy, known for his straightforward approach – the U.S. could reduce these burdens and give companies some much-needed breathing room.
However, not everyone is convinced that Musk and Ramaswamy are the right leaders for this challenge. Critics argue that while Musk&#8217;s methods at Twitter have been effective in certain areas, they have also been controversial and have led to disruptions. Some doubt whether his approach would translate well to government-level regulation involving a different scale and set of complexities.&nbsp;
Similarly, while appealing, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/42038767/im-one-of-you-how-anti-woke-warrior-vivek-ramaswamy-became-a-billionaire-at-only-38">Ramaswamy&#8217;s straightforward approach</a> may lack the nuance required to navigate the intricacies of federal regulations.

Costs Have Escalated Drastically, Warns Kevin O'Leary, Hopeful Elon And Vivek Can 'Simplify Tax And Deregulate The Economy'

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;
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>This rooftop wind turbine is taking on a market projected to reach over $900 billion by 2032 —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/halcium"> With already over 40,000 users signing up to purchase, here's a chance to be an early investor today!</a></li>

</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;
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

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

Earlier this year, Mark Epstein, the younger brother of disgraced financier Epstein, has alleged that his brother possessed information that could have influenced elections involving Trump and the Clintons.

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.
Maxwell, known as&nbsp;&#8220;Inmate 02879-509&#8221; while incarcerated,&nbsp;is currently serving her sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution&nbsp;in Tallahassee, Florida.&nbsp;

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.

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.

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.
