President Donald Trump unveiled a $500 billion private-sector AI investment package on his second day in office last week, just as Chinese startup DeepSeek demonstrated it can match U.S. technology at a fraction of the cost.
The &#8220;Stargate&#8221; project, backed by OpenAI&#8217;s Sam Altman, SoftBank&#8217;s Masayoshi Son, and Oracle&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NASDAQ">ORCL</a>) Larry Ellison, aims to build massive data centers in Texas over four years. &#8220;This is money that normally would have gone to China,&#8221; Trump said during the announcement.
DeepSeek&#8217;s breakthrough <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/25/01/43253190/deepseek-ai-etfs-take-a-hard-hit-amid">threatens to upend the AI landscape</a>. The nascent Chinese company&#8217;s latest models match leading U.S. chatbots while using fewer resources, challenging the assumption that AI advances require ever-increasing computing power and investment.

</ul>
The timing heightens tensions in the U.S.-China tech rivalry. Trump&#8217;s administration includes China hawks like AI czar David Sacks and Under Secretary of State nominee Jacob Helberg, who each view the AI race as crucial to national security.
Silicon Valley executives hope Trump will loosen domestic regulations while maintaining pressure on China. The president already scrapped Biden-era requirements for AI companies to share information with the government, promising Stargate partners to make development &#8220;as easy as it can be.&#8221;
DeepSeek&#8217;s rise suggests U.S. export controls on advanced semiconductors haven&#8217;t prevented Chinese innovation, according to a report by The Economist. The company&#8217;s mobile app topped U.S. iPhone downloads in January, with investor Marc Andreessen calling it &#8220;AI&#8217;s Sputnik moment.&#8221;

&#8220;More investment does not necessarily lead to more innovation. Otherwise, large companies would take over all innovation,&#8221; DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng told Chinese media, noting U.S. chip restrictions remain his main challenge.
The contrast between Trump&#8217;s massive investment push and DeepSeek&#8217;s efficient approach highlights diverging strategies in the AI race. While U.S. firms bet on overwhelming resources, Chinese companies focus on maximizing limited computing power.
The battle extends beyond raw investment numbers. The Biden administration&#8217;s &#8220;Framework for Artificial Intelligence Diffusion,&#8221; now under Trump&#8217;s review, aims to tighten controls on GPU exports and AI data sharing. Critics, including semiconductor giant Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), argue such restrictions could backfire, pushing allies toward Chinese technology.
Meanwhile, DeepSeek&#8217;s models remain constrained by Chinese censorship, automatically deflecting queries about sensitive topics like the Tiananmen Square protests or President Xi Jinping. The company also faces infrastructure challenges, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43257133/chinese-ai-startup-deepseek-hit-by-cyberattacks-after-toppling-us-giants-like-nvidia-with-new-ai-model-dubbed-as-chatgpt-killer">experiencing outages as user numbers surge</a>.

'As Easy As It Can Be': Trump Promises AI Giants Support With $500B Investment Plan, How Does It Compare With DeepSeek?

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 Nasdaq ended the week down 1.6%, with the S&amp;P 500 losing 1% and the Dow gaining 0.3%, as markets attempted to recover from earlier losses. 
Strong earnings and a more dovish tone from Fed Chair Jerome Powell helped lift sentiment, reinforcing hopes for future rate cuts. However, by Friday, concerns over new U.S. tariffs on China, Mexico, and Canada weighed on the market, leading to renewed volatility. 
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that the 25% and 10% tariffs would take effect Saturday, raising fears <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43404983/stocks-trim-deepseek-losses-fed-holds-steady-trump-slaps-25-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-this-week-in-the-markets">of economic disruptions.</a>

Benzinga Bulls And Bears: Nvidia, Palantir, Rigetti Computing And Shiba Inu Hints At Major Partnership

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/06/39181971/gen-z-job-applicant-rejects-90-minute-task-ceo-faces-backlash">Job interviews can be stressful</a>, especially when they involve flying across the country and meeting top executives. But one candidate's attempt to make a seemingly harmless request during their interview didn't go as planned. In fact, it ended up costing them the job.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Backstory</h2>
A Reddit user recently <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/tifu/comments/1i9q51i/tifu_went_in_for_a_job_interview_and_asked_to_eat/">shared</a> their &#8220;Today I F&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A;ed Up&#8221; (TIFU) moment on the popular subreddit. They described being flown out for a final <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37562830/how-to-ace-the-most-important-job-interview-question-of-all-time">in-person interview</a> after impressing the company during a lengthy Zoom call. With the CEO and CFO involved in the process, it was clear the position was significant – and the company was making a major effort to evaluate their fit.

</ul>
After a rough flight in which their knees were cramped against the metal of an airplane seat, the candidate arrived at the hotel and rested for the night. The next morning, they began their full-day schedule, which included meeting various team members and going out for a team lunch – a moment that turned out to be critical.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The &#8220;Unusual&#8221; Request</h2>
When the CEO asked if there was anything they could do to accommodate the candidate, the individual noticed the lunch outing on the schedule and asked if it could take place in the office instead. Why? The flight had left their knees aching. Despite the request&#8217;s insignificance, the CEO&#8217;s response suggested more serious issues. The candidate claims that the CEO answered, &#8220;I guess,&#8221; and walked out of the room perplexedly.
Later in the day, the CEO returned and gently encouraged the candidate to stick with the original plan and take the team out to lunch, saying, &#8220;I really think you need to take the team out to lunch, it will be good for you to bond.&#8221; The candidate quickly agreed, but the damage had already been done.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Fallout</h2>
After completing the rest of the interviews, the CFO entered the room and delivered a surprising verdict: &#8220;We appreciate your time, but we're going to pass on you and look at other candidates.&#8221; The candidate was ushered into an Uber and sent home.
When the recruiter followed up the next morning, they explained that the company felt &#8220;offended&#8221; by the lunch request. The CEO and other team members interpreted the move as a lack of willingness to engage with the team – a red flag for someone being considered for a leadership role.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Did the Company Take it so Personally?</h2>
For many companies, especially those involving high-level leadership, team lunches are not just meals but part of the interview process. They allow executives and team members to observe how a candidate interacts in a social, less formal setting – a crucial test of interpersonal skills.
The company probably had reservations and a schedule in place. Changing everything last minute may have felt inconsiderate to the team.
The company had already invested significant time and money in flying the candidate out, arranging the schedule, and involving top executives. Asking for an accommodation – however small – on day one might have suggested the candidate would prioritize their own comfort over the needs of the group.

'My Knees Hurt' – CEO Offended By Job Candidate's Unusual Request During An Interview – Here's Why The Company Took It Personally

Representatives of Elon Musk&#8216;s Department of Government Efficiency have reportedly requested access to the payment systems of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43219158/trumps-world-liberty-financial-crypto-venture-amasses-over-388-million-in-digital-assets">sparking concerns among officials</a>.
What Happened: The Washington Post reported on Friday that Musk&#8217;s team is seeking access to the Treasury&#8217;s systems, which are used for a variety of functions.
These include the distribution of&nbsp;Social Security and Medicare benefits,&nbsp;federal employees&#8217; salaries,&nbsp;payments to federal contractors, grants,&nbsp;tax refunds, and more.
The <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2025/01/31/elon-musk-treasury-department-payment-systems/">report</a> also highlighted conflicts between Musk&#8217;s representatives and David Lebryk, the highest-ranking career official at the Treasury, who announced his retirement on Friday. The motive behind Musk&#8217;s team&#8217;s demand for access to these systems is not yet clear.
Following his election in November, President Donald Trump appointed Musk to head the &#8220;Department of Government Efficiency,&#8221; a commission aimed at eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse in federal spending. After taking office, Trump signed an executive order directing all federal agencies to provide the panel with &#8220;full and prompt access to all unclassified agency records, software systems, and IT systems.&#8221;

Musk, who owns X, has previously stated his desire to enable&nbsp;X users to make payments&nbsp;on the platform, with the goal of transforming X into the &#8220;everything app.&#8221; Earlier this week,&nbsp;it was reported that X&nbsp;will partner with VISA to&nbsp;help achieve this objective.
On the same day, Reuters reported that Musk&#8217;s aides had&nbsp;locked out employees of the&nbsp;Office of Personnel Management from&nbsp;the agency&#8217;s&nbsp;computers, according to two employees&nbsp;who spoke to Reuters.
Why It Matters: The move by Musk&#8217;s representatives to gain access to the Treasury&#8217;s payment systems could have significant implications. 
While the exact reasons for this request are unclear, it comes at a time when Musk is making moves to transform his social media platform, X, into a comprehensive app that includes payment functionalities. 
This development could potentially disrupt the traditional financial system and raise questions about data privacy and security.

Musk's DOGE Eyes Treasury Payment System, Sparks Controversy Leading To Official's Exit

President Donald Trump is receiving high marks from voters for his job done in the early days of his second presidency since being <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/01/43139381/how-many-people-watched-donald-trumps-2025-inauguration-spoiler-less-than-biden-four-years-ago">inaugurated on Jan. 20.</a>
What Happened: With just weeks on the job, Trump is receiving high approval ratings of his job as president, continuing a trend of receiving <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/24/12/42511472/trump-hits-7-year-high-in-favorability-ratings-how-republicans-democrats-men-and-women-view-president-elect">more favorable ratings </a>since winning the 2024 presidential election in November.
In the Emerson College January <a href="https://emersoncollegepolling.com/january-2025-national-poll-trump-starts-term-with-49-approval-41-disapproval-rating/">poll </a>of nationally registered voters, Trump has a 49% approval rating and 41% disapproval rating. The remaining 10% are neutral on Trump's job approval.
"President Trump's 49% job approval rating closely reflects his share of national support in the 2024 election, and his 41% disapproval is the lowest it has been in Emerson national polls dating back to his first term," Emerson College executive director of polling Spencer Kimball said.
Here's a look at how Trump's approval rating varies by age group:
<ul>
<li>Age 18-29: 46% approval, 38% disapproval, 16% neutral</li>
<li>Age 30-39: 47% approval, 39% disapproval, 14% neutral</li>
<li>Age 40-49: 49% approval, 38% disapproval, 13% neutral</li>
<li>Age 50-59: 52% approval, 34% disapproval, 15% neutral</li>
<li>Age 60-69: 49% approval, 48% disapproval, 4% neutral</li>
<li>Age 70+: 48% approval, 49% disapproval, 3% neutral</li>
</ul>
"All age groups have a net approval of Trump, including voters under 30, except those over 70, who narrowly disapprove (49%-48%)," Kimball added
Trump received the most positive job approval rating from the age 50-59 group, who also gave him an 18-point net approval rating.
Along with the 70 and older group having a negative net approval rating, the age 60 to 69 group had only a one-point net approval rating.
The poll also found that 52% of voters think that the United States is headed in the right direction, with 48% saying the country is on the wrong track. This is an improvement from an earlier January Emerson College poll where 67% of voters said the country was on the wrong track and 33% said the country was on the right direction.
Here are the voter percentages by political party for whether the country was headed in the right direction or on the wrong track:
Democrats: 21% right direction, 79% wrong track
Republicans: 87% right direction, 14% wrong track
Independents: 47% right direction, 53% wrong track

</ul>
Why It's Important: In the poll, the top voter issues were the economy (35%), immigration (16%), threats to democracy (15%) and healthcare (9%).
President Trump has put a heavy emphasis on addressing immigration first. In the poll, 45% of voters supported changing birthright citizenship to make children of undocumented immigrants not automatically granted citizenship. &nbsp;
The reversal of a 2011 law allowing ICE agents to enter schools and churches received only 42% support in the poll with 45% disapproving of the practice.
The economy could see pressure and volatility with tariffs being placed on other countries and experts predicting the higher costs will be passed onto consumers.

"Looking ahead, the company expects to conduct a number of new programming projects, and plans to increase the marketing budget, both of which should support strong account growth, around which management sounded a constructive tone," Yaro said.

Mercury Systems (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRCY#NASDAQ">MRCY</a>): The aerospace and defense stock saw strong interest from readers, which comes ahead of second-quarter financial results set for Feb. 4.

After struggling in past quarters, the company has beaten analyst estimates for both revenue and earnings per share in the last two quarters.

The company added Sanjeev Singh Sahni, a former Wayfair executive, in the newly created President role. In the role, Sahni will lead global operations, product, technology and supplier services. JMP Securities maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $42 price target recently. Earlier this month, JPMorgan analyst Cory Carpenter <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/25/01/42914051/take-two-xometry-jpmorgans-bets-in-2025">shared a $45</a> price target on the stock, highlighting the company as a small-cap darling.
"We like XMTR in 2025 as a play on manufacturing under Trump," Carpenter said.
The analyst said the company has catalysts that include international expansion and a "number of ways to win in 2025."

Benzinga's 'Stock Whisper' Index: 5 Stocks Investors Secretly Monitor But Don't Talk About Yet

EV giant Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has started production of its refreshed Model Y across its four factories around the globe including its gigafactory in Texas, the company said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
What Happened: Tesla shared a photograph of a new Model Y produced at its gigafactory in Berlin and signed by the team there. The photograph shows the black vehicle filled with signatures in gold and silver. 
&#8220;Production has now started across all of our 4 vehicle factories around the world – simultaneously,&#8221; Tesla wrote in its post.

In both geographies, deliveries are slated to start in March.
The company will be retooling factories for the start of production and the change will result in several weeks of lost production in the first quarter, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said on Wednesday, while adding that margins will be impacted due to idle capacity and other ramp-related costs
However, these challenges will be overcome once production is ramped, he said.
Why It Matters: Model Y is Tesla's best-selling vehicle. The refreshed vehicle's launch follows the company reporting a fall in vehicle deliveries for the first time in over a decade.

Tesla Begins Global Production Of Refreshed Model Y, Deliveries Start In March

EV startup Rivian Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>) is expanding its factory in Illinois as it gears up for the start of production of its new R2 vehicle.
What Happened: &#8220;R2 expansion moving quickly!,&#8221; Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe said in a post on X, formerly Twitter. The CEO&#8217;s post was accompanied by a picture of the company&#8217;s Illinois factory.

Rivian was&nbsp;initially looking to start production of its R2 SUV at its new factory in Georgia. However, the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37552130/rivian-halts-georgia-plant-construction-to-launch-r2-suv-in-illinois-facility-ross-gerber-terms-it-t">halted construction of the plant</a> in Georgia last year in a bid to cut costs and instead decided to launch R2 at its existing facility.
The decision to launch R2 in Illinois instead of Georga will enable the vehicle to be launched earlier and save billions in capital until the start of R2 production, the company then said.
Why It Matters: The R2 is expected to start at around $45,000 — the same price range as&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37552684/rivian-almost-catches-up-to-teslas-ev-lineup-with-new-r2-r3-but-theres-no-cybertruck-fighter-yet" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tesla&#8217;s best-selling Model Y SUV</a>.&nbsp;The new vehicle will be smaller and less expensive than Rivian's existing R1 offerings priced around $70,000, and the company expects it to expand its total addressable market and cater to the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39905221/rivian-ceo-rj-scaringe-pegs-slowdown-in-ev-sales-to-truly-extreme-lack-of-choices-under-50k-due-to-a" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">demand for cheaper EVs.</a> The company received more than 68,000 reservations for the vehicle in less than 24 hours after unveiling it in March.
In addition to its R1 vehicles, Rivian also manufactures electric delivery vans for fleet owners. Online retailer Amazon.com is the main customer for the vans manufactured by the company.

Rivian Expands Illinois Factory As It Gears To Start Production Of R2 SUV

Workers employed at Chinese EV maker BYD Co&#8217;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) factory in Brazil reportedly earned nearly twice the Chinese hourly minimum wage in many regions, despite questionable working conditions.
What Happened: Chinese workers hired by BYD&#8217;s contractor Jinjiang and employed at the factory earned about $70 per 10-hour shift, Reuters reported. 
However, the workers had to hand their passports to their new employers and let most of their income be sent directly to China as well as pay a $900 deposit which they could retrieve only after working for six months, the report said, citing a contract signed by one of the several workers who Brazilian authorities said were rescued in December.
Brazilian authorities said in December that they have&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/12/42667814/brazil-authorities-halt-work-at-byd-factory-site-after-workers-found-in-slavery-like-conditions" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">halted the construction of the plant that BYD&nbsp;is building in Salvador</a>, Bahia after finding workers living and working in conditions analogous to &#8220;slavery.&#8221;
Authorities ordered that the construction of the factory in Bahia be stopped after rescuing 163 people working at the site, according to a statement by the Labor Prosecutor&#8217;s Office (MPT). The MPT also noted that the conditions constituted "forced labor." If a worker were to terminate their employment contract after six months, they would leave the country without any pay for their work since the company deducted their airfare to and from Brazil, in addition to other costs, the statement said.
Certain clauses in the agreement viewed by Reuters violate labor laws in both Brazil and China, the report said, citing experts and authorities. One of the clauses also gives the firm the power to extend the labor contract by itself for six months, Reuters added. 
Why It Matters: Jinjiang Group&nbsp;has previously said that the Brazilian authority's portrayal of its employees working at the Chinese EV giant's factory in Brazil as "enslaved" is "completely inconsistent with facts."
Brazilian inspectors have provided no evidence that the EV maker knew of the violations at the construction site. However, according to the acting chief of Brazil&#8217;s Division of Inspection for the Eradication of Slave Labor Matheus Viana&#8216;s statement to Reuters, BYD is &#8220;directly responsible&#8221; for the actions of its contractor on its site. 
BYD was planning to start production at the factory in Brazil in 2025. The company is China's largest EV maker and makes plug-in hybrids and battery electric vehicles which are sold in China, Europe, and also Brazil.&nbsp;BYD even <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42780142/chinese-player-byd-overtakes-tesla-yet-again-as-worlds-biggest-ev-seller-in-q4">trumped American EV giant Tesla </a>as the world&#8217;s largest battery electric vehicle seller in the last quarter of 2024.

BYD's Chinese Workers At Brazilian Factory Signed Contracts With Potential Labor Law Breaches: Report

JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) is preparing to deliver gold bullion valued at over $4 billion in New York this February, amid rising prices and increased demand for the precious metal.
What Happened: The bank, recognized as the largest bullion dealer globally, announced on Thursday. According to a report <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-31/jpmorgan-plans-4-billion-gold-delivery-in-us-amid-tariff-fears?srnd=homepage-asia">by</a> Bloomberg, JPMorgan plans to deliver gold against contracts expiring in February on the CME Group&#8217;s Comex.
The delivery notices, amounting to 30 million troy ounces, represent the second-largest tranche on record since 1994.
Gold futures on Comex have surpassed London spot prices due to tariff concerns following President Donald Trump&#8217;s election. This has created a profitable arbitrage opportunity for banks capable of swiftly moving bullion between trading hubs.
Similar pricing trends have been observed in other Comex contracts, prompting traders to fly silver into the U.S. for the first time, despite its usual cost-prohibitive nature, the report added. While millions of ounces trade daily on Comex, only a small fraction typically results in physical delivery.
Since the U.S. election, physical inventories in Comex depositories have increased by 13 million ounces, valued at approximately $38 billion.
It remains unclear if JPMorgan and other banks are delivering bullion for arbitrage or to exit short positions.
Why It Matters: The timing of JPMorgan&#8217;s gold delivery coincides with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43418661/trump-announces-new-tariffs-on-goods-from-canada-mexico-and-china-will-go-into-effect-from-feb-1">Trump&#8217;s announcement</a> of new tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China, effective Feb. 1. These tariffs have already caused ripples in financial markets, raising concerns about their economic impact.
Gold has recently hit a record high, surpassing $2,790, driven by central banks&#8217; easing stance and increased demand for safe-haven assets. Several major central banks have signaled a more dovish stance on inflation, leading speculators to anticipate lower borrowing costs, further supporting gold prices.
Additionally, speculation over higher U.S. tariffs has led to increased demand for gold by central banks, with disruptions affecting trading in London.

JPMorgan To Deliver $4 Billion In Gold Amid Rising Prices, Tariff Concerns: Report

President Donald Trump has confirmed that the U.S. will impose new tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China. The tariffs, set to take effect this Saturday, have already caused ripples in financial markets and raised concerns about economic impacts.
What Happened: Trump declared on Friday that he will enforce new tariffs of 25% on imports from Mexico and Canada, and 10% on goods from China. According to a report by Reuters, these tariffs will take effect on Saturday.
Trump mentioned a potential exception for Canadian oil, which would face a 10% tariff instead of 25%. However, he hinted at broader tariffs on oil and natural gas by mid-February, causing a spike in oil prices.
He emphasized that these measures aim to curb migrant and fentanyl flows over the U.S. border.
In the Oval Office, Trump acknowledged potential short-term disruptions and higher consumer costs. He dismissed the idea of delaying the tariffs, stating, &#8220;No, no. Not right now, no.&#8221;
Trump also denied using tariff threats as a bargaining tool, asserting, &#8220;It&#8217;s something we&#8217;re doing, and we&#8217;ll possibly very substantially increase it, or not, we&#8217;ll see how it is," as per the report.
Financial markets experienced volatility, as the Canadian dollar and Mexican peso weakened, while U.S. Treasury bond yields rose. Karoline Leavitt, a White House spokesperson, confirmed the tariffs&#8217; implementation on Saturday, with further details to follow, according to the report.
Why It Matters: The decision to impose tariffs on key trading partners like Canada, Mexico, and China is part of a broader strategy to address issues such as illegal immigration and drug trafficking, particularly fentanyl.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/43401971/white-house-confirms-tariffs-on-key-us-trade-partners-this-weekend">an earlier report</a>, the White House has confirmed these tariffs, which are expected to impact the U.S. economy significantly.
The tariffs follow a series of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/43353698/trump-slaps-25-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-loonie-peso-slide-oil-climbs">threats and confirmations</a> from Trump, which will have potential economic disruptions and rising costs for everyday goods. The U.S. imports substantial amounts of goods from these countries, with Mexico being the largest trading partner in terms of imports.
Additionally, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43216784/doug-ford-takes-on-trump-ontario-premier-threatens-swift-retaliation-in-trade-war">Ontario Premier Doug Ford</a> has threatened economic retaliation if Canada is targeted, indicating potential further escalation in trade tensions.

Trump Announces New Tariffs On Goods From Canada, Mexico And China: Will Go Into Effect From Feb 1

Microsoft Corp.-backed (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) OpenAI has introduced the o3-mini, a new model in its reasoning series. It will be available on Friday in both ChatGPT and the API.
What Happened: The o3-mini model, previewed in December, promises to offer "exceptional capabilities" in science, math, and coding, while maintaining low costs and reduced latency.
It is the first small reasoning model from OpenAI to support developer features such as function calling and structured outputs, making it ready for production use.
According to OpenAI, the o3-mini will replace the o1-mini in the model picker, offering higher rate limits and lower latency. This makes it a compelling choice for tasks requiring coding, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM,) and logical problem-solving.
The model is rolling out to select developers in API usage tiers 3-5, with broader access for ChatGPT Plus, Team, and Pro users.
OpenAI emphasizes that o3-mini is optimized for STEM reasoning. Its medium reasoning effort matches the performance of the o1 model. It delivers faster responses, and evaluations show a 39% reduction in major errors on difficult questions compared to the o1-mini.
Why It Matters: The launch of the o3-mini model comes amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43400191/openais-100-billion-texas-stargate-data-center-will-reportedly-employ-just-57-people-with-57600-annual-salaries">OpenAI&#8217;s significant investments</a> in infrastructure, such as the $100 billion Stargate data center in Texas.
Additionally, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43219324/chill-and-cut-your-expectations-100x-says-openai-ceo-sam-altman-we-are-not-gonna-deploy-agi-next-month-nor-have-we-built-it">OpenAI CEO Sam Altman</a> recently addressed the hype surrounding artificial intelligence, urging the public to temper expectations about the development of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
Altman&#8217;s comments suggest that while OpenAI is making strides in AI capabilities, the journey toward AGI is still ongoing.
Furthermore, the introduction of the o3-mini follows the release of OpenAI&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43186741/openai-debuts-operator-ai-agent-that-performs-web-tasks-but-early-error-has-sam-altman-scrambling-for-a-quick-fix">Operator</a>&#8221; AI agent, which was designed to autonomously perform web tasks. This agent, available to ChatGPT Pro subscribers, integrates advanced reasoning and vision capabilities, showcasing OpenAI&#8217;s continuous innovation in AI technology.

Editor&#8217;s Note: This story was published previously, updates to incorrect quotations were made.
How do you define success? A meaningful career? Quality time with loved ones? Or is it just about the dollar signs? If you ask most Americans, success comes with a steep price tag. According to a 2024 survey from Empower, the average American says you'd <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40711869/how-rich-are-you-heres-the-net-worth-that-defines-upper-middle-and-lower-class">need a net worth of $5.3 million</a> to feel "successful."
Here's where it gets absurd: That number is incredibly close to the $5.8 million net worth required to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42731749/how-wealthy-are-you-heres-a-look-at-the-net-worth-you-need-to-rank-in-the-top-10-5-and-1">land in the top 1% of U.S. households</a>, according to the Wealth Report by Knight Frank and Douglas Elliman. In other words, the bar for success isn't just high – it's exclusive. Most people define success as something only the wealthiest can achieve.&nbsp;

<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mark-cubans-annuity-adv">Many are surprised by Mark Cuban's advice for lotto winners: Cash or annuity?</a></li>
</ul>
The Generational Breakdown
When it comes to what success looks like, age matters. Here's what different generations said when asked about the net worth and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42350109/are-you-earning-enough-to-be-considered-rich-heres-what-the-top-5-are-raking-in-annually">salary they'd need</a> to feel like they've "made it":
• Baby Boomers (60-78): A net worth of $1 million and a $99,874 annual salary feels like success to this group. Modest compared to younger generations but still higher than the median U.S. household.
• Gen X (44-59): This group aligns closely with the survey average, aiming for a $5.3 million net worth and $212,321 annual income.
• Millennials (28-43): They push the bar slightly higher with a $5.6 million net worth and $180,865 per year.
• Gen Z (18-27): Dreaming big, this generation says $9.5 million and $587,797 per year are their benchmarks for success.
What stands out is that younger generations are achieving success at levels so extreme that they rival – or surpass – those of the ultra-wealthy. Optimism is great, but these expectations don't align with financial reality.
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich-2">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.
Reality Check: Where Americans Actually Stand
Interestingly, the study found that 37% of people consider themselves financially successful right now – even though most of them are nowhere close to the astronomical numbers they claim success requires. This surprising contradiction shows how people's perceptions of success can differ wildly from their actual financial reality.
The Federal Reserve reports that the median U.S. family net worth is $192,900. Let that sink in: half of U.S. families have less than $192,900 in total wealth and half have more. Even the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41585240/if-the-average-american-household-is-a-millionaire-with-a-net-worth-of-1-06-million-why-do-peopl">average net worth</a>, at $1,063,700, is heavily skewed by the richest households.
Want to crack the top 25%? You'd need a net worth of $659,000. This includes everything – your home, investments, savings – minus debt. Achievable? Yes, but it often takes decades of disciplined saving and investing. Now compare that to the $5.3 million Americans think you need, and the gap becomes almost laughable.
Trending: Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.
Why Are Americans Setting the Bar So High?
The $5.3 million figure reflects more than ambition – it highlights the growing disconnect between financial goals and reality. Cultural pressures, social media and skyrocketing living costs fuel these lofty ideals. But tying success to numbers that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42659832/does-your-net-worth-make-you-rich-heres-what-it-really-takes-to-be-in-the-top-1">rival the top 1%</a> makes it feel unattainable for most.
And that's the real issue: if success means joining a club that 99% of people will never enter, how do you define fulfillment in your life?
What Actually Matters
The truth is, financial security isn't about hitting an arbitrary number. For most people, success looks like freedom – freedom from debt, handling unexpected expenses and enjoying the things that matter most.
See Also: Many are using retirement income calculators to check if they&#8217;re on pace —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"> here&#8217;s a breakdown on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</a>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Working with a financial advisor</a> can help if your financial goals feel overwhelming. Whether you want to save for retirement, build an emergency fund or just stop stressing about money, success is about progress, not perfection.
So yes, $5.3 million might sound nice, but it's not the only path to a fulfilling life. Success doesn't have to be reserved for the 1%. It's about finding what works for you – and that's something no survey can decide.

Is Your Net Worth Enough To Be Considered 'Successful'? Gen X Thinks You Need $5.3 Million - But Here's The Average Answer

Aides to Elon Musk who have been appointed to oversee the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), have reportedly restricted access of career civil servants to computer systems containing personal data of millions of federal employees.
What Happened: According to a report by Reuters, Musk&#8217;s team, now managing the U.S. government&#8217;s human resources agency, has limited access for civil servants to systems like the Enterprise Human Resources Integration database.
This database holds sensitive information, including Social Security numbers and pay grades. Two anonymous agency officials have raised concerns about the lack of oversight and potential cybersecurity risks.
The changes are part of Musk&#8217;s efforts to implement Trump&#8217;s directive to reduce the civilian workforce.
The new team at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), which includes former Musk employees, has taken steps such as installing sofa beds for continuous work and relocating the agency&#8217;s chief management officer.
Despite these significant changes, there has been no comment from Musk, OPM representatives, or the White House.
Why It Matters: The restriction of access to federal employee data systems comes amid a broader context of decisions by the Trump administration.
Recently, Trump blamed DEI policies for a tragic plane crash involving an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43402439/trump-musk-blame-dei-for-plane-crash-authorities-look-at-staffing-congestion-for-answers-search-continues-after-41-bodies-found">American Airlines</a> plane and an Army helicopter, which resulted in 67 fatalities. This incident has sparked debates on staffing and congestion issues.
Furthermore, Musk has been vocal about his support for Trump&#8217;s policies, including the proposed end to the $7,500 EV tax credit, emphasizing that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43372252/elon-musk-brushes-aside-concerns-on-trumps-ev-policies-sustainable-transport-is-inevitable-it-cant-be-stopped">sustainable transport</a> is inevitable.
Trump&#8217;s administration also intends to dismantle the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), as seen during his visit to disaster-hit areas in California and North Carolina, suggesting states should handle their emergencies.

Elon Musk's Aides Block Government Workers From Federal Data Systems: Report

EYEN

Trading Halt: Halted at 7:50:00 p.m. ET - Trading Halt: Halt News Pending

Imagine starting with a $70,000 retirement account and watching it grow into hundreds of millions over the years. That's exactly what Ted Weschler did. It wasn't luck or flashy stock picks – it was all about strategy, patience and playing the long game.
ProPublica uncovered Weschler's incredible financial journey in 2021 as part of its "Secret IRS Files" series. They analyzed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41658421/no-one-in-the-u-s-would-have-to-pay-a-dime-in-taxes-warren-buffett-on-berkshire-hathaways-federal-ta">federal tax</a> records and found that his retirement account (IRA) stood out among some of the wealthiest Americans.&nbsp;
While most people use retirement accounts to build modest savings, Weschler turned his into something extraordinary.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/62-years-old-with-1-mil-saved">I&#8217;m 62 Years Old And Have $1.2 Million Saved. Is This Enough to Retire Stress-Free?</a> </li>
<li>The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"> How do you compare</a>?</li>
</ul>
His story begins in 1984, when Weschler was just 22. He was earning $22,000 a year as a junior financial analyst and decided to open a retirement account. Instead of contributing the bare minimum, he made the most of it – maxing out his contributions and taking advantage of his employer's matching program. By 1989, his account had grown to $70,000.
But Weschler didn't stop there. He transferred his savings to a self-directed IRA, which let him pick his investments. In 1990, though, his account hit a major bump, losing 52% of its value during a market downturn.&nbsp;
Most people would have panicked, but Weschler later called it an "unmonetized lesson." He stuck to his strategy, which focused on identifying undervalued companies and holding onto them long term.
Trending: The average 401(k) balance soars to a record-breaking high – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/average-401k-balances-soars-to-record-high">Here's how to know if your nest egg is keeping pace.</a>
That patience paid off. Between 2000 and 2011, his IRA delivered an average annual return of 22% after fees – returns most investors can only dream about.
Then, in 2012, Weschler made a bold move: he converted his traditional IRA into a Roth IRA. It wasn't cheap – he paid $28 million in taxes up-front – but it meant that all future earnings in the account would be tax-free. Financial experts have praised this as a smart long-term play, showing the value of thinking ahead.
Around the same time, Weschler made another bold decision. In 2010 and 2011, he bid a combined $5 million at charity auctions to have lunch with Warren Buffett.&nbsp;
Buffett hired him in 2012 to manage investments at Berkshire Hathaway because those meetings made an impact. Since then, Weschler has been working alongside Buffett to find companies that fit Berkshire's rigorous investment philosophy.
See Also: Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.
Weschler's advice for building wealth is simple. Start early, invest consistently and tune out the noise of daily market swings. He also recommends index funds for anyone who wants an easy, reliable way to grow their money.&nbsp;
In an interview with the Washington Post, he pointed out that even if his original IRA had been invested entirely in an S&amp;P 500 index fund, it would have grown to $1.6 million by 2021.
According to Fidelity Investments&#8217; Q3 2024 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40753320/new-report-the-u-s-has-more-401-k-millionaires-than-ever-even-though-people-feel-the-economy-isn">Retirement Analysis</a>, the average IRA balance in the U.S. is $129,200. The report also notes that the number of IRA millionaires has increased by nearly 5% to 418,111, thanks to consistent contributions and strong market performance.
While Weschler's results are far from average, his discipline and long-term thinking principles remain relatable.
