Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency has secured access to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, according a report Wednesday. The extent of the access and the systems involved are yet to be clarified.
What Happened: DOGE representatives have been granted access to key payment and contract systems, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/elon-musk-doge-medicare-medicaid-fraud-e697b162?mod=hp_lead_pos3">reported</a> Wall Street Journal. However, the CMS has not provided any clarification on this matter.
Musk said on X that &#8220;big money fraud&#8221; was taking place at the CMS on Wednesday in response to another user sharing the story..

&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1887184902543577590?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 5, 2025</a></blockquote>

</figure>
The CMS confirmed the collaboration with DOGE, mentioning two senior agency veterans leading the collaboration and ensuring appropriate access to CMS systems and technology, according to the Journal.
DOGE&#8217;s focus on CMS aligns with its&nbsp;mandate to cut at least&nbsp;$1 trillion in federal spending. The CMS, which spent over $1.5 trillion in 2024, is often criticized for fraudulent and wasteful spending. Musk expressed&nbsp;his interest in the health&nbsp;agency, hinting at potential fraud in Medicare spending.
Musk&#8217;s representatives had reportedly yet to access sensitive databases that include identifiable personal health information of people enrolled in both Medicaid and Medicare. The access given to DOGE representatives was &#8220;read-only.&#8221;

Why It Matters: DOGE&#8217;s access to CMS comes in the wake of Trump&#8217;s Medicaid cuts. In January it was reported that the GOP was pushing for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43191852/an-existential-fight-ahead-why-trumps-medicaid-cuts-could-leave-millions-struggling-with-healthcare-costs">big changes to Medicaid</a>, which serves 79 million low-income or disabled Americans.
Later that month, the White House ordered a temporary freeze on all federal grants and loans, putting $3 trillion in funding under scrutiny. This move threatened a wide range of industries, including healthcare. Benzinga reported that all federal agencies were <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43290381/trumps-federal-spending-freeze-puts-3-trillion-in-limbo-threatens-industries-like-clean-energy-defense-healthcare">required to halt disbursements</a> while programs were reviewed for alignment with Trump&#8217;s policy priorities.
Soon after the freeze was announced the Medicaid website stopped functioning, but the White House later attributed that to an &#8220;outage.&#8221; The executive branch of the government said that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43294006/trump-white-house-blames-outage-for-medicaid-website-lockout-we-have-confirmed-no-payments-have-been-affected">no payments had been affected</a>.
The Department of Government Efficiency shares its acronym with Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>), the cryptocurrency frequently mentioned in Musk&#8217;s posts on X.
Price Action: At the time of writing, DOGE traded 2.7% lower at $0.26, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?utm_source=insights">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

DOGE Gains Access To Medicare And Medicaid Systems: Elon Musk Says, 'This Is Where The Big Money Fraud Is Happening'

Lucid Group Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LCID#NASDAQ">LCID</a>) reported record deliveries in the fourth quarter as the company prepares to grow in the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/electric-vehicle"> electric vehicle sector.</a>
The company enters 2025 with strong momentum and the launch of a second vehicle model.
What Happened: Lucid launched the highly anticipated Gravity three-row SUV in late 2024.
In January, Lucid sold 50 Lucid Gravity SUVs, according to data from Motor Intelligence reported by <a href="https://electrek.co/2025/02/04/lucid-lcid-ev-sales-climb-50-jan-after-gravity-suv-launch/">Electrek</a>. The company had total sales of 665 units in January, consisting of the Gravity vehicles and 615 Lucid Air sedans.
The sales figure is among the highest monthly totals in Lucid history, falling shy of the record 780 deliveries in the month of December. 
This represents a 51% year-over-year increase for Lucid for January, which could illustrate how important the launch of the Gravity was, giving the company a second model and important entry into the SUV sector.
Lucid reported deliveries of 3,099 vehicles in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42842059/lucids-q4-deliveries-soar-to-new-highs-gravity-suv-sets-optimism-for-coming-months">the fourth quarter</a>, a company record at the time. Quarterly deliveries were up 79% year-over-year in the fourth quarter.

Why It's Important: The Gravity SUV, which has a starting price of $94,900 will help Lucid compete with the Tesla Model X from Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and the Rivian R1S from Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>).
The company also plans to launch its lower-priced version of the Gravity later this year with a starting price of $79,900.
With the potential end of the federal EV tax credit, Tesla is expected to benefit from its lower prices. Lucid has not been among the sales leaders for EVs, but has received attention and praise <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/24/06/39364585/lucid-vs-tesla-ceo-says-companys-technology-is-a-number-of-years-ahead-of-ev-leader">for its technology.</a>
The early success of the Gravity could go a long way to showing that Lucid has staying power in the electric vehicle sector.
Lucid reports fourth-quarter financial results Feb. 25, which could offer more commentary on how Gravity demand and momentum is fairing. 
LCID Price Action: Lucid stock closed Wednesday at $2.91 versus a 52-week trading range of $1.93 to $4.43. The stock is up in the last several trading days, but shares remain down 10% over the past year. The stock is up over 40% from its year lows hit in December.

Broadcom, Inc. (AVGO) today experienced a Power Inflow, a significant event for those who follow where smart money goes and value order flow analytics in their trading decisions. 
Today, at 10:03 AM on February 5th, a significant trading signal occurred for Broadcom, Inc. (AVGO) as it demonstrated a Power Inflow at a price of $228.86. This indicator is crucial for traders who want to know directionally where institutions and so-called "smart money" moves in the market.

Traders with this signal closely watch for sustained momentum in Broadcom&#8217;s stock price, interpreting this event as a bullish sign.
Signal description
Order flow analytics, aka transaction or market flow analysis, separate and study both the retail and institutional volume rate of orders (flow). It involves analyzing the flow of buy and sell orders, along with size, timing, and other associated characteristics and patterns, to gain insights and make more informed trading decisions. This particular indicator is interpreted as a bullish signal by active traders.&nbsp;
The Power Inflow occurs within the first two hours of the market open and generally signals the trend that helps gauge the stock&#8217;s overall direction, powered by institutional activity in the stock, for the remainder of the day.&nbsp;
By incorporating order flow analytics into their trading strategies, market participants can better interpret market conditions, identify trading opportunities, and potentially improve their trading performance. But let's not forget that while watching smart money flow can provide valuable insights, it is crucial to incorporate effective risk management strategies to protect capital and mitigate potential losses. Employing a consistent and effective risk management plan helps traders navigate the uncertainties of the market in a more controlled and calculated manner, increasing the likelihood of long-term success

TRADEPULSE POWER INFLOW ALERT: BROADCOM INC. (AVGO) MOVES UP 4% AFTER ALERT FROM TRADEPULSE

The life of shopping malls has transformed in recent years with big-box tenants going bankrupt and malls looking for new uses for their large real estate space, including new tenants, apartments and entertainment experiences like<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/06/39439112/will-netflix-save-shopping-malls-new-experiences-a-potential-game-changer-for-retail-center"> those from Netflix.</a>
Walmart Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) is now the owner of a shopping mall and the move will likely be closely followed by the real estate sector.
 What Happened: For what is believed to be the first time in company history, Walmart is the owner of a shopping mall. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42247997/walmart-shoppers-shun-electronics-for-black-friday-deals-on-eggs-bread-slippers">world's largest retailer </a>paid $34 million to acquire the Monroeville Mall, located near Pittsburgh.
Walmart purchased the mall from CBL &amp; Associates (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CBL#NYSE">CBL</a>) recently and partnered with Cypress Equities to redevelop the property. Cypress has been used by Walmart previously to help with site selection on new retail locations.
"Walmart did purchase the Monroeville Mall and is very interested in being part of any future redevelopment of this site," Walmart said in a statement, as <a href="https://www.retaildive.com/news/walmart-buys-pittsburgh-area-mall/739277/">reported </a>by Retail Dive. "Walmart is working with Cypress on mall operations and potential redevelopment of the site."
The retailer is staying quiet on what the redevelopment plans look like for the 1.2 million square foot mall. The mall occupies 186 acres and sits near several major highways.
The Monroeville Mall, which was built in 1969, was last renovated in 2003. CBL bought the mall for $231.2 million in 2004.
Covering two stories, the mall has over 130 stores, which currently include Macy's, JCPenney, Dick's Sporting Goods, Best Buy, Barnes &amp; Noble and a Cinemark movie theater.
CBL, who listed the property for sale in December, said the mall gets over 3.5 million annual visits. &nbsp;

Why It's Important: With Walmart or Cypress not providing details on what will happen to the mall, a lot could change in the coming months.
The biggest question mark is why Walmart bought the mall, which leads into the second biggest question of will Walmart add its own store or a Sam's Club to the tenants that make up Monroeville Mall.
The report said Walmart does not have a store in Monroeville and has eyed the location before. With the mall having prominent real estate by major highways, a Walmart as a mall anchor could make a lot of sense and help justify the purchase price.
Based on what happens with this mall redevelopment it will also be interesting to see if Walmart keeps ownership of the property and becomes landlord to the other retailers and if the company would utilize this model at other shopping malls across the country.
WMT Price Action: Walmart stock closed 1.68% up at $102.46 on Wednesday versus a 52-week trading range of $55.85 to $102.58. Walmart stock hit the new 52-week highs during Wednesday's intraday session and the stock is now up 82% over the last year.

$100 Invested In Brookfield 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Billionaire investor <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/01/43084861/mark-cubans-29-million-shark-tank-portfolio-from-200k-in-dude-wipes-to-200m-for-beatbox-beverages-im-killing-it">Mark Cuban</a> recently floated an interesting idea on X. He's thinking about launching his own meme coin, but with a twist. Unlike Donald Trump's $TRUMP token, which made waves in the crypto world, Cuban wants all the proceeds from his token sales to go straight to the U.S. Treasury to help tackle the national debt.
Cuban <a href="https://x.com/mcuban/status/1881445569727758392">said on X</a>: &#8220;If meme coins are the way, maybe I'll issue one. With a twist. Same terms as $TRUMP. 20% float. Same release schedule. One difference. All the revenue from the sale of the coins go to the U.S. Treasury. The wallet address will be published so everyone can track it. If you want to gamble, gamble. But at least use it to make a dent in the U.S. Debt. You in?&#8221;

</ul>
To put things into perspective, the U.S. national debt is sitting at a staggering $36.22 trillion, according to the U.S. Treasury. Naturally, Cuban's post blew up, racking up over 60,000 likes and sparking all kinds of reactions.&nbsp;
Some people were quick to call him out, reminding him that he had previously dismissed meme coins as &#8220;shit coins.&#8221; One user, &#8220;Injective AI Intern,&#8221; pointed out the contradiction, and Cuban clapped back, saying, &#8220;Just making the point. If it's a grift, make it a grift to benefit all Americans.&#8221;
Not everyone was against the idea, though. Journalist Brian Krassenstein chimed in, suggesting that Cuban could split the funds—half to the Treasury, half to help lower prescription drug prices.&nbsp;
Trending: According to Juniper Research, the total value of B2B cross-border payments stored on the blockchain is projected to exceed $4.4 trillion — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/web3-enabler-future-of-enterprise-transactions">Join the first company to bring blockchain payments to Salesforce early with just $100.</a>
Cuban wasn't on board with that, saying he didn't want to pick favorites and that paying down the national debt was the best way to create broad benefits.
Now, Cuban and Trump have a bit of a history. Cuban has been one of Trump's biggest critics, but at the same time, he's clearly paying attention to the financial success of the $TRUMP meme coin.&nbsp;
That token skyrocketed 1,000% in just two days, peaking at $71 before cooling off to about $26.40 by Jan. 27—still a hefty 300% jump from its launch.

But not everyone is thrilled about the rise of political meme coins. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has raised red flags, calling them a &#8220;perfect bribery vehicle.&#8221; His concern? Politicians could profit without anyone actually handing them money.&nbsp;
&#8220;If a politician issues a coin, you don't even need to send them any coins to give them money,&#8221; Buterin said. &#8220;Instead, you just buy and hold the coin, and this increases the value of their holdings passively.&#8221; Basically, it's a sneaky way for financial influence to creep into politics.
Of course, not everyone sees it that way. White House AI and<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42009965/vaneck-ceo-boldly-predicts-bitcoin-at-300k-per-coin-reaching-half-of-golds-market-cap-in-the-face-of-growing-demand"> crypto</a> advisor David Sacks compared meme coins with collectibles—think baseball cards or stamps. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zOqyntqzOI">In an interview with Fox Business</a>, he said people aren't necessarily buying these tokens for financial gain but as a way to support or commemorate a political movement.
