Silicon Valley billionaires are poised to join forces with protectionist hard-liners in Trump&#8217;s second term, marking an alliance that could fundamentally reshape American economic policy.
The incoming administration&#8217;s economic team is a mix of competing interests, including tech industry power brokers and America-first ideologues, creating what The Economist describes as the largest and most diverse group of economic advisers in presidential history.&nbsp;
At its center is Elon Musk, whose new role leading a government efficiency drive signals Trump&#8217;s embrace of tech industry disruption within the federal bureaucracy.

</ul>
Commerce Secretary nominee Howard Lutnick underscores the administration's protectionist tilt, saying before the election, &#8220;You&#8217;ve got to tariff the rest of the world. Keep them the heck out. Bring the manufacturing back here.&#8221; Even traditionally moderate nominees like Treasury pick Scott Bessent and National Economic Council leader Kevin Hassett have endorsed aggressive tariff policies.
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41965420/elon-musk-vivek-ramaswamy-led-department-of-government-efficiency-opens-account-on-x-says-it-is-working-overtime">newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)</a>, coled by Musk and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, could be a direct channel between Silicon Valley and the White House. North Carolina Rep. Dan Bishop told The Economist that the DOGE development marks a &#8220;fundamental change in the dynamic&#8221; of government operations.
Silicon Valley&#8217;s influence extends throughout the administration. Venture capital giant <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42253427/elon-musks-doge-dream-team-from-marc-andreessen-to-ubers-travis-kalanick-silicon-valley-titans-join-forces-to-overhaul-federal-spending">Marc Andreessen has spent time at Mar-a-Lago</a> shaping tech policy and personnel decisions. His firm Andreessen Horowitz has placed several partners in key positions, including Scott Kupor as director of the Office of Personnel Management.

Stephen Miller, appointed deputy chief of staff, will spearhead the America First agenda from within the White House. Miller&#8217;s influence extends beyond immigration policy to broader economic strategy, including a planned two-phase approach beginning with immigration reform and later tackling tax legislation.
Budget director nominee Russ Vought, whom Miller praised as &#8220;the guy for the last four years that has been developing the plan to take down the deep state,&#8221; arrives with a blueprint for restructuring federal agencies. Trade policy remains a central battleground. While Peter Navarro returns as a presidential adviser advocating extensive tariffs, incoming trade representative Jamieson Greer has called for revoking China&#8217;s normal trading status. The administration&#8217;s push for economic decoupling from China creates tension with business interests, including Musk&#8217;s Tesla operations in the country.

Internal conflicts loom between the administration&#8217;s competing factions. Tech leaders advocate for expanded skilled immigration through H-1B visas, while Miller&#8217;s wing pushes for broad restrictions. Even on core Republican principles like tax cuts, divisions have emerged, with former strategist Steve Bannon calling for increased corporate taxation.
The appointment of Miller&#8217;s wife Katie to the efficiency department suggests the America First camp seeks to maintain oversight of the tech contingent&#8217;s reform agenda. Early political challenges, including recent congressional budget negotiations, have already tested the limits of this coalition&#8217;s influence.
As the administration prepares to take office, the alliance of Silicon Valley disrupters, economic nationalists and traditional conservatives must translate campaign promises into coherent policy.&nbsp;
Their success or failure could determine the future of American economic policy for years to come.

Elon Musk's Role In Shaping Trumponomics: 'You've Got To Tariff The Rest Of The World'

Media company Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>) could be in for a tough fourth quarter with concerns about the company's DC Studios reboot, the loss of NBA rights and the underperformance of "Joker: Folie a Deux" <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/10/41210999/joker-2-stumbles-at-box-office-no-laughing-matter-for-warner-bros-stock">at the box office.</a>
These are among the main reasons an analyst is lowering estimates and the price target on Warner Bros. Discovery ahead of fourth-quarter financial results.
The WBD Analyst: Goldman Sachs analyst Michael Ng maintained a Neutral rating on Warner Bros. Discovery and lowered the price target from $10.75 to $9.75.
Read Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42603589/disney-hits-2-billion-domestic-box-office-wins-top-honors-global-box-office-2025-to-grow-8-to-33b-analyst-says">Disney Hits $2 Billion Domestic Box Office, Earns Top Honors</a>
The Analyst Takeaways: The analyst expects Warner Bros. to report strong direct-to-consumer additions in the fourth quarter.
Outside of that segment, Ng sees struggles for the media company in other segments including linear networks, advertising and studio. &nbsp;
"WBD stock has outperformed the market since its last earnings report on 11/7/24 during which WBD reached a new agreement with NBA, had an earlier than-expected carriage renewal with Comcast, and announced a new corporate structure plan that splits linear networks business from streaming and studios," Ng said.
The analyst said investor debates will center on topics such as the linear networks outlook, direct-to-consumer momentum and the DC Studios reboot moving forward.
For the DC Studios segment, the analyst lowers the EBITDA target from $874 million to $800 million, citing the underperformance of "Joker: Folie a Duex" at the box office.
While there are concerns about the impact from the flop of "Joker: Folie a Deux" and the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/11/42075473/warner-bros-discovery-nba-deal-best-case-scenario-analyst-says-renewal-structure-could-boost-annual-profit">loss of NBA rights,</a> the analyst sees strength ahead for the DTC segment.
"Looking ahead, we estimate WBD can achieve $1.56 bn in DTC EBITDA in 2025E driven by international market launches and content timing."
The analyst highlights international expansion opportunities for the Max streaming platform, password-sharing initiatives, new content, price increases, bundling and ad-lite penetration as catalysts to help power streaming growth.
"Although we're encouraged by WBD's DTC momentum as well as investments in Linear Networks sports programming, the loss of domestic NBA media rights creates mid-term uncertainty in the outlook for Linear Networks profitability," Ng said.
WBD Price Action: Warner Bros. Discovery stock closed Wednesday up .62% to $9.79 versus a 52-week trading range of $6.64 to $12.70. Warner Bros. stock is down 5% over the last year.

If You Invested $100 In This Stock 10 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today

The U.S. Department of Transportation and Department of Justice jointly filed a lawsuit on Wednesday against Southwest Airlines Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>) for operating "chronically delayed flights" that caused <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/25/01/42791291/jetblue-fined-2-million-for-chronic-flight-delays-delta-united-rank-among-most-on-time-airlines">disruptions to passengers. </a>
The Details: DOT said its investigation found Southwest operated two chronically delayed flights, resulting in 180 flight disruptions for passengers between April and August 2022. DOT rules define a chronically delayed flight as one that is flown at least 10 times a month and arrives more than 30 minutes late more than 50% of the time.

"As part of our commitment to supporting passenger rights and fairness in the market for airline travel, we are suing Southwest Airlines for disrupting passengers' travel with unlawful chronic flight delays," Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said in a statement.&nbsp;
"Airlines have a legal obligation to ensure that their flight schedules provide travelers with realistic departure and arrival times. Today&#8217;s action sends a message to all airlines that the Department is prepared to go to court in order to enforce passenger protections," Buttigieg added.&nbsp;
Southwest responded with a statement that it was "disappointed that DOT chose to file a lawsuit over two flights that occurred more than two years ago."
"Any claim that these two flights represent an unrealistic schedule is simply not credible when compared with our performance over the past 15 years," Southwest said.
The lawsuit against Southwest comes only 12 days after the DOT fined JetBlue Airways Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBLU#NASDAQ">JBLU</a>) $2 million for chronic flight delays, which marked the <a href="https://www.transportation.gov/briefing-room/dot-penalizes-jetblue-chronic-flight-delays">first time</a> an airline had been fined for chronic flight delays. 
LUV Price Action: According to Benzinga Pro, Southwest Airlines shares are trading flat after-hours on Wednesday at $32.83.

$1000 Invested In This Stock 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Oil prices surged on Wednesday, with West Texas Intermediate light crude rising about 4% to above $80 per barrel for the first time <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities">since mid-July 2024. </a>
This rally comes against a backdrop of intensifying concerns over global supply disruptions and the announcement of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/43017362/israel-hamas-agree-to-ceasefire-deal-including-hostage-release-biden-confirms">ceasefire in Gaza</a> after a devastating 15-month war.
Crude prices — as tracked by the United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>) — haven&#8217;t seen a single-day surge of this magnitude since early October 2024.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">What's Driving Oil Higher?</h1>
Despite positive geopolitical developments in the Middle East with the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, traders remain focused on tightening supply fundamentals.
According to Reuters, the ceasefire agreement, brokered by U.S., Egyptian and Qatari diplomats, outlines an Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza and a prisoner exchange.
While this marks a significant step toward de-escalation in the Middle East, oil markets seem more concerned with a series of factors that could constrain global crude flows in the near term.
The Energy Information Administration reported Wednesday a sharper-than-expected decline in U.S. crude inventories for the week ending Jan. 10, further fueling the market&#8217;s bullish sentiment.
Data showed U.S. crude oil inventories fell by 1.961 million barrels last week, exceeding market expectations of a 1.6 million-barrel draw. 
This marked the eighth consecutive weekly decline, pushing U.S. crude commercial stockpiles — excluding the Strategic Petroleum Reserve — to their lowest levels since April 2022.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">The Impact Of U.S. Sanctions On Russia, Iran</h1>
On Jan. 10, the Biden administration announced sweeping new sanctions targeting Russia. The measures include restrictions on two major Russian producers, Gazprom Neft and Surgutneftegaz, as well as over 160 tankers carrying oil from Russia, Iran, and Venezuela.
The sanctions also complicate ship insurance arrangements, further disrupting logistics for these nations. 
The International Energy Agency, in its latest Oil Market Report released Wednesday, highlighted the potential ramifications of these sanctions, stating:
"Benchmark crude oil prices rallied in early January as U.S. sanctions on Iran and Russia intensified and freezing temperatures swept across large parts of the Northern Hemisphere."
Speculation is mounting that the incoming U.S. administration under President-elect Donald Trump will adopt an even tougher stance on Iran, potentially exacerbating supply constraints. 
"While it is too early to fully quantify the potential impact from these new measures, some operators have reportedly already started to pull back from Iranian and Russian oil," the IEA said.
Freezing temperatures across major oil-consuming regions in the Northern Hemisphere have further tightened energy markets, boosting demand for heating fuels. This seasonal surge in consumption, combined with shrinking inventories and sanctions-related disruptions, leaves the oil market vulnerable to additional supply shocks.
"If decreases in supply from weather impacts, sanctions, or other developments become substantial, oil stocks can quickly be drawn to meet operational requirements in the near term," the IEA stated.
Earlier this week, Goldman Sachs commodity analyst Daan Struyven warned that in a scenario of combined disruptions in Russian and Iranian oil flows, crude prices could rally up <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/01/42965857/oil-could-hit-90-goldman-sachs-says-trump-may-not-ease-sanctions-on-russia">to $90 a barrel.</a>

Oil Prices Break $80, Reach 6-Month Highs Despite Israel-Hamas Ceasefire Deal: Why Is Crude Rallying?

Short-seller Hindenburg Research on Wednesday announced plans to disband the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/hindenburg-research">New York-based investment firm</a>.
&#8220;The plan has been to wind up after we finished the pipeline of ideas we were working on. And as of the last Ponzi cases we just completed and are sharing with regulators, that day is today,&#8221; Hindenburg founder Nate Anderson said in a blog <a href="https://hindenburgresearch.com/gratitude/">post</a>.
What To Know: Anderson founded Hindenburg Research in 2017. The first half of the letter published on Hindenburg&#8217;s site is a reflection on the success of the company and how it came to be. 
&#8220;Nearly 100 individuals have been charged civilly or criminally by regulators at least in part through our work, including billionaires and oligarchs. We shook some empires that we felt needed shaking,&#8221; Anderson said.

About halfway through, Anderson addresses the disbandment, but he said there is no particular reason why. Anderson noted that he felt like he had some things to prove to himself early on, but that he has &#8220;finally found some comfort&#8221; with himself. Anderson also suggested his professional life has taken a toll on his well-being, adding that the &#8220;intensity and focus&#8221; required for the role has come at a cost.
&#8220;Someone once told me that at a certain point a successful career becomes a selfish act,&#8221; he said. 
Anderson said his immediate focus is on finding opportunities for members of the Hindenburg team. Some will be starting their own research firms, while others are seeking different opportunities. 
Anderson also noted he plans to spend the next six months or so working on putting together materials to open-source Hindenburg&#8217;s research model and share how the firm conducted its research so that others may be inspired to do the same.
Hindenburg was the short-selling firm behind some major sell-offs in recent years including <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/short-sellers/23/03/31474945/short-seller-that-sunk-second-richest-man-has-new-target-and-jack-dorsey-is-in-the-crosshairs">Adani Group</a> and Super Micro Computer Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>). Hindenburg has also targeted big names like Icahn Enterprises L.P. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IEP#NASDAQ">IEP</a>), Roblox Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RBLX#NYSE">RBLX</a>) and most recently, Carvana Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVNA#NYSE">CVNA</a>).

Hindenburg Research Is Closing Up Shop: 'We Shook Some Empires That We Felt Needed Shaking'

In a groundbreaking development, Israel and Hamas have reached a ceasefire agreement Wednesday following prolonged conflict in Gaza, reports The Washington Post. The deal, confirmed by U.S. President Joe Biden, aims to halt the hostilities of the past 15 months and facilitate the release of hostages held by Hamas, marking a significant step toward easing tensions in the region.
The agreement requires ratification by a vote of Israel's cabinet. According to Qatar&#8217;s Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, implementation of the agreement is set to start Sunday.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Key Details of the Ceasefire Agreement</h1>
<ol>
<li>Hostage Release:
<ul>
<li>Hamas has agreed to release hostages, prioritizing women, children and elderly individuals.</li>
<li>The deal includes mechanisms for monitoring and ensuring the safe return of hostages.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Ceasefire Implementation:
<ul>
<li>The agreement entails an immediate cessation of all military operations by both parties.</li>
<li>Israeli forces will initiate a phased withdrawal from Gaza while maintaining a security buffer.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Humanitarian Aid and Reconstruction:
<ul>
<li>Provisions for increased humanitarian assistance to Gaza, including medical supplies, food and essential infrastructure support.</li>
<li>International agencies are expected to oversee aid distribution to ensure it reaches civilians in need.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Prisoner Exchange:
<ul>
<li>In exchange for the release of hostages, Israel will release several Palestinian detainees, with a focus on minors and women.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">International Mediation</h1>
The ceasefire was achieved through intense diplomatic efforts led by Egypt, Qatar and the U.S. Biden played a pivotal role, maintaining direct communication with both Israeli and Palestinian leaders. Steve Witkoff, President-elect Donald Trump's special envoy to the Middle East, also played an instrumental role, said the Washington Post. 
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Global Reactions</h1>
<ul>
<li>U.S: Biden lauded the agreement as a &#8220;crucial step toward peace&#8221; and pledged continued U.S. support for humanitarian and diplomatic initiatives.</li>
<li>United Nations: Secretary-General António Guterres called the deal a "moment of hope" and urged all parties to abide by its terms.</li>
<li>Public Sentiment: Families of hostages in Israel expressed cautious optimism, while Gaza residents welcomed the cessation of airstrikes and the promise of aid.</li>
</ul>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Challenges Ahead</h1>
Despite the breakthrough, challenges remain in implementing and sustaining the agreement. Analysts warn of potential setbacks due to mistrust between the parties and the volatile nature of the region's politics.
The international community has committed to monitoring the situation closely, with hopes that this ceasefire will pave the way for broader negotiations addressing the underlying causes of the conflict.

<h2>Unveiling the Story Behind Snap</h2>
Snap is a technology company best known for its marquis social media application Snapchat, a visual messaging application that has amassed hundreds of millions of users. The app was initially only used to communicate with family and friends through photographs and short videos (known as "Snaps"). Users can now enjoy augmented reality, or AR, lenses, content from famous creators and celebrities, updates about local events, and more. Although the app offers a paid subscription option with premium features, advertising sales produce most of the app's revenue.
