Social Security is one of the most critical safety nets for retirees in the U.S., but it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/05/38943129/social-security-fears-go-viral-should-you-claim-early-like-dave-ramsey-says">faces a funding shortfall</a> that could result in benefit cuts within the next decade. While some argue for raising the retirement age or reducing payouts, labor economist Teresa Ghilarducci believes the real solution is increasing revenue.

</ul>
Ghilarducci, a professor of economics at The New School, suggests that requiring the wealthiest Americans to contribute more to Social Security could significantly reduce the deficit. &#8220;If <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/42821537/15-minutes-into-2025-elon-musk-was-done-with-social-security-tax-meanwhile-94-of-americans-take-the-entire-year">Elon Musk paid for Social Security</a> just on his salary for the entire year and some of his capital gains were taxed to fund Social Security, just one person, it would save 1/20 of the deficit in Social Security,&#8221; she said in a 2024 Bloomberg <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ok9gzE5-8wk">interview</a>. &#8220;Imagine broadening that out to maybe 20,000 other people.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Public Support for Higher Taxes on the Wealthy</h2>
A recent <a href="https://www.nasi.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/NASI_SocialSecurityat90.pdf">survey</a> from multiple organizations, including AARP and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, found that most Americans support tax increases to maintain Social Security benefits. Eighty-five percent of respondents said they would rather see taxes increase than their benefits cut.

The most popular proposal? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/42217382/bernie-sanders-demands-scrap-the-cap-on-social-security-taxes-its-absurd-a-billionaire-pays-same-amount-as-middle-class-earners">Eliminating the payroll tax cap</a> for earnings above $400,000. Currently, Social Security taxes only apply to income up to $176,100 in 2025, meaning high earners stop contributing after that threshold. Raising or removing the cap would require top earners to pay more and increase their eventual benefits.
Another widely supported measure is gradually increasing the payroll tax rate from 6.2% to 7.2% for both workers and employers. The incremental change would generate more funding without significantly burdening middle-class Americans.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Myth of Working Longer as a Solution</h2>
While some believe people should work longer to improve retirement security, Ghilarducci strongly disagrees. &#8220;Not everyone is living longer,&#8221; she explained. While wealthier Americans in white-collar jobs often have longer life expectancies, many blue-collar and service workers face declining health due to physically demanding work, stress, and economic hardship. &#8220;A lot of jobs that aren&#8217;t blue-collar have become pink-collar … requiring a lot of heavy lifting, stooping and bending. Those jobs break bodies down,&#8221; she said.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A New Retirement Plan for Millions</h2>
Ghilarducci also backs a national retirement savings plan that would automatically enroll workers who don&#8217;t have access to employer-sponsored pensions. The Retirement Savings for Americans Act would create a government-administered pension plan with mandatory contributions. Workers earning below the median income would receive a 5% government match, helping them build long-term savings.
She argues that this model, which resembles pension systems in other developed nations, is far superior to the current 401(k) system, which she calls a &#8220;mistake.&#8221; &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/43571028/inflation-proof-your-retirement-why-401-k-s-may-fall-short-and-what-to-do-instead">The 401(k) system was a mistake</a> if it was meant to be the retirement system for all Americans.

Labor Economist Says Musk Paying Full Annual Social Security Taxes Would Cut The Deficit By 1/20 – 'Imagine Expanding That To 20,000 Others'

French President Emmanuel Macron has rejected the proposal by President Donald Trump to convert Gaza into a real estate project. Macron emphasized the need for respect for Palestinians and their Arab neighbors.
What Happened: Macron, in a CNN <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/02/11/europe/macron-trump-gaza-real-estate-intl/index.html">interview</a>, stressed that the Gaza issue requires a political solution rather than a real estate one. He criticized the idea of displacing 2 million Gazans, stating, &#8220;You cannot say to 2 million people, &#8216;okay, now guess what? You will move.'&#8221;
&#8220;The right answer is not a real estate operation, this is a political operation,&#8221; said the French president.
Trump&#8217;s proposal, which has sparked controversy, involves relocating Palestinians from Gaza to Egypt and Jordan, while the U.S. takes long-term ownership of the enclave. He envisions transforming Gaza into a &#8220;Middle Eastern Riviera.&#8221;
Macron has consistently disagreed with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over Israel&#8217;s military operations in Gaza and Lebanon. In October 2024, France suspended arms exports to the Israel Defense Forces, urging other nations to follow suit.
Macron&#8217;s comments come amid a wave of international criticism, including from the United Nations and Spain, against Trump&#8217;s plans. The proposal has also sparked plans for redevelopment of Gaza by far-right settler groups in Israel, which would be illegal under international law.

Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s proposal to &#8220;take over the Gaza Strip,&#8221; level it, and rebuild the area after Palestinians are sent elsewhere has been <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43503385/trumps-gaza-plan-for-seaside-resort-faces-global-pushback">widely rejected</a> by world leaders. They argue that moving nearly 2 million Palestinians from Gaza is tantamount to ethnic cleansing.
Arab foreign ministers have also&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43420541/arab-nations-reject-trumps-controversial-gaza-plan-heres-why">rejected</a>&nbsp;Trump's suggestion to transfer&nbsp;Palestinians from Gaza to neighboring&nbsp;Egypt and Jordan, calling it a destabilizing move that would threaten peace in the region.
Despite the global pushback, Trump, in a White House meeting with Jordan's King Abdullah, reiterated his threat that the U.S. will take control of the Gaza Strip and move the Palestinians living there to either Jordan or Egypt or somewhere else, as <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43637482/trump-gaza-cherish-it-white-house-meeting-with-jordans-king-abdullah">reported</a>.

While the company actively promotes AI use in the workplace and develops AI-driven hiring tools, it has a strict rule for job seekers: do not use AI when applying for their positions.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Double Standard</h2>
As an individual noticed and Futurism reported on, Anthropic's job application form explicitly states:
&#8220;While we encourage people to use AI systems during their role to help them work faster and more effectively, please do not use AI assistants during the application process. We want to understand your personal interest in Anthropic without mediation through an AI system, and we also want to evaluate your non-AI-assisted communication skills.&#8221;

The company profits from AI-powered hiring processes yet restricts candidates from using the same tools to improve their chances in an increasingly competitive job market. Meanwhile, AI is being widely adopted across hiring processes, with 98.4% of Fortune 500 companies using AI to filter applications and 43% of companies either using or planning to use AI for interviews, according to Jobscan.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Anthropic's AI Ambitions</h2>
Anthropic is at the forefront of AI development, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39426605/google-amazon-backed-openai-rival-anthropic-unveils-claude-3-5-sonnet-its-most-powerful-ai-yet">competing with OpenAI</a> and other major players. The company recently saw its annualized revenue surge to $1 billion, a tenfold increase from the previous year. It is also reportedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43127416/anthropic-gains-big-with-google-backing-aiming-for-60-billion-valuation-and-surging-ai-revenue">securing $2 billion in funding</a>, which could triple its valuation to $60 billion.
Backed by Amazon's $8 billion investment and Google's recent $1 billion contribution, Anthropic is pushing forward with AI advancements. CEO Dario Amodei <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/01/43094410/jeff-bezos-backed-anthropic-ceo-predicts-ai-will-surpass-human-intelligence-by-2027-but-warns-to-watch-out-for-negative-consequences">has predicted</a> that AI could surpass human intelligence within two to three years. He recently stated that Artificial General Intelligence—AI with human-level capabilities—could emerge by 2026 or 2027, barring setbacks like data shortages, GPU production issues, or scalability problems.

While AI companies like Anthropic push for rapid advancements, they also set rules that seem to favor employers over job seekers. The rise of AI-driven hiring has already overwhelmed recruiters, leading to a cycle where companies turn to AI to sort through AI-generated applications.
Anthropic's policy highlights a growing concern. AI is being used to reshape the job market, but workers are being told they can't use it to compete. As both sides of hiring increasingly rely on AI, critics argue that companies must set fair and transparent standards—or risk creating a system where only employers benefit from AI's efficiencies.
For now, if you're applying to Anthropic, leave AI out of it. But once you're hired, feel free to use it all you want.

In fact, he thinks it's impossible. "At this point, I think that sustainable transport is inevitable," Musk told investors.&nbsp;
Musk compared the shift to EVs to the transition from horse-drawn carriages to automobiles. "Even if you were the biggest horse advocate on Earth, you couldn't stop the advent of the automobile. And you can't stop the advent of electric cars," he said on a call late last month to discuss Tesla's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) latest quarterly results.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The biggest hurdle for EVs used to be range, but Musk says that's no longer an issue. With more charging infrastructure and better battery technology, people aren't as hesitant to switch. Still, the political scene is shifting, and some wonder what that means for Tesla and the industry as a whole.&nbsp;&nbsp;

</ul>
One of Trump's first moves in office was to undo Joe Biden's goal of having 50% of new car sales be electric by 2030. He also wants to get rid of the federal EV tax credit, which gives buyers up to $7,500 in incentives.&nbsp;
That could make EVs a harder sell, but Musk isn't too concerned. In fact, he's actually in favor of ending those subsidies.&nbsp;
"Take away the subsidies. It will only help Tesla," <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1813112958157005259?lang=en">he said on X </a>last July. His argument? Tesla has already built a strong EV business, while other automakers still rely on incentives to stay competitive.&nbsp;&nbsp;

That doesn't mean everything is smooth sailing for Tesla. According to Electrive, EV sales in the U.S. grew by only 7.3% in 2024, reaching 1.3 million units. That's just a slight bump from 7.8% to 8.1% of total car sales. Meanwhile, Tesla's own sales dropped by 5.6% to 633,762 vehicles—their first annual decline in over a decade.&nbsp;&nbsp;
But Musk believes Tesla's real edge isn't just in electric cars; it's in self-driving technology. "There is a path where Tesla is worth more than the next top five car companies combined&#8230; and that is overwhelmingly due to autonomous vehicles and autonomous humanoid robots," he said on the Jan. 30 earnings call.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

If They Could Show A Plan For Ending World Hunger He'd Donate $6 Billion – ‘I Will Sell Tesla Stock Right Now And Do It'</a>
Tesla is also making adjustments based on new policy changes. For example, the company had planned to expand into Mexico, but Musk recently put that on hold after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/02/43493701/fed-chair-jerome-powell-faces-trumps-pressure-the-president-cant-fire-me-as-interest-rates-hold-steady-at-4-25-4-5">Trump </a>suggested heavy tariffs on Mexican-made cars. "Trump has said that he will put heavy tariffs on vehicles produced in Mexico, so it doesn't make sense to invest in Mexico," Musk said on a separate earnings call in July amid the 2024 presidential campaign.&nbsp;
Despite these challenges, Tesla isn't slowing down. The company is rolling out a driverless ride-hailing service in Austin within the next six months and is on track to produce autonomous "cybercabs" by 2026. It's also planning to unveil a working prototype of their Optimus humanoid robot in 2025.&nbsp;&nbsp;

What Happened: In a new filing released after the market close on Tuesday, Spire Global announced that it filed a complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery alleging Kpler failed to close on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/asset-sales/24/11/41944207/spire-global-soars-on-heels-of-241-million-sale-of-maritime-business-plans-debt-payoff">acquisition of Spire&#8217;s maritime business</a>.
Spire Global entered into a purchase agreement with Kpler in November to sell its maritime business for a cash payment based on an enterprise value of $233.5 million. The company said at the time that it expected the transaction to close in the first quarter. 
Spire Global said it believes all conditions in the purchase agreement have been satisfied or could be satisfied. The company also noted that Kpler agreed to "use best efforts, and to take any and all actions necessary&#8221; to consummate the transaction.
&#8220;The Company believes that Buyer's failure to close is not consistent with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, which do not give Buyer the option to delay closing once all closing conditions have been met,&#8221; Spire Global said in the filing.

As a result, Spire Global asked the courts to order Kpler to satisfy the purchase agreement obligations and close the deal.
&#8220;There is no assurance as to what action the Delaware Court of Chancery will take with respect to the proceeding initiated by the Company and there is no assurance as to whether or not the Transactions will be consummated on the terms contemplated or at all,&#8221; the company said.

Marc Fogel, who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/22/06/27780092/russia-sentences-60-something-former-us-diplomat-to-14-years-for-cannabis-possession" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">was sentenced to 14 years</a> in a Russian penal colony after his 2021 arrest in Moscow for possessing medical marijuana, is coming home.
The White House announced Tuesday, per various news outlets, that it had negotiated Fogel's release.
White House national security adviser Michael Waltz said that Steve Witkoff, President Donald Trump&#8216;s special envoy to the Middle East, was leaving Russian airspace with Fogel, who was declared "wrongfully detained" by President Joe Biden shortly before he left the White House.
Waltz said <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40111778/russia-prisoner-swap-senators-demand-inclusion-of-cannabis-prisoner-marc-fogel-mom-takes-antony-">Fogel</a>, who previously worked at the&nbsp;U.S. embassy in Moscow and also as an English teacher, would be on U.S. soil by Tuesday night.
&#8220;President Trump, Steve Witkoff and the president&#8217;s advisors negotiated an exchange that serves as a show of good faith from the Russians and a sign we are moving in the right direction to end the brutal and terrible war in Ukraine,&#8221; he said in a statement, <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/marc-fogel-released-russia-trump/">cited</a> by CBS News.
In what CNN <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/11/politics/marc-fogel-released-russia-trump/index.html">referred</a> to as an extraordinary move, Witkoff personally went to Russia to bring back Fogel, the statement indicated. There has been no known high-level U.S. travel to Russia since the start of the war in Ukraine in February 2022.
"By tonight, Marc Fogel will be on American soil and reunited with his family and loved ones thanks to President Trump's leadership," Waltz's statement said.
Fogel's family <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/11/politics/marc-fogel-released-russia-trump/index.html">said</a> Tuesday they "are beyond grateful, relieved, and overwhelmed that after more than three years of detention" he is coming home.
"Thanks to the unwavering leadership of President Trump, Marc will soon be back on American soil, free where he belongs," Jane, Ethan and Sam Fogel said in a statement.
Fogel was a legal medical marijuana patient in Pennsylvania where he used cannabis as an alternative to opioids for chronic pain following spinal surgery.
