Here's How Much $1000 Invested In GE Aero 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are shaking up Washington and federal workers are squarely in their sights. Under President-elect Donald Trump's new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Musk and Ramaswamy are leading a push to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/42209383/chamath-palihapitiya-says-elon-musk-vivek-ramaswamy-led-doge-could-usher-in-economic-renaissance-with-a-100-200-basis-point-gdp-surge">cut down federal spending</a> and streamline government jobs. But the surprising twist? Some of the highest-paid roles on the chopping block might not be what you'd expect.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $70 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a></li>
<li>‘Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">You can invest TODAY for just $0.26/share with a $1000 minimum.</a></li>
</ul>
According to U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) data, as reported by Business Insider, federal civilian employees in certain roles earn salaries that rival those in the private sector – sometimes over $160,000 yearly. Leading the pack? The Department of Veterans Affairs primarily employs medical officers, with salaries averaging at the top of the charts. Other lucrative roles include ship pilots and general attorneys, which could also be at risk as DOGE sets its sights on downsizing, Business Insider reported.
In a recent op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, Musk and Ramaswamy didn't mince words. They wrote that DOGE aims to "identify the minimum number of employees required at an agency for it to perform its constitutionally permissible and statutorily mandated functions." Translation? They want leaner, meaner federal agencies. The strategy includes proposals for early retirement and severance packages to encourage staff to leave voluntarily, though details are still unclear.

Beyond trimming headcounts, they're also targeting workplace flexibility. Federal workers eligible for telework – about 1.3 million as of March, according to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), as reported by Business Insider – may need to dust off their commuting shoes. Musk and Ramaswamy proposed requiring all <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41998717/elon-musk-and-vivek-ramaswamy-are-looking-for-high-iq-small-government-revolutionaries-who-are-willing-to-put-in-80-hours-at-doge">federal employees</a> to work in-office five days a week. That's bound to create voluntary turnover, especially among workers accustomed to remote setups.
Surprisingly, health-related jobs dominate the federal salary leaderboard. Three of the five highest-paid roles are in health care, with medical officers, dentists and pharmacy officers earning hefty paychecks. Meanwhile, according to OMB and Business Insider, workers at the Department of Education and Department of Energy rake in average salaries exceeding $140,000 – tops among cabinet-level agencies.
But the big question? How will Americans feel about these cuts? DOGE's vision might appeal to those wary of bloated government budgets, but it could also spark a backlash from federal workers facing uncertainty.
Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl"> you can become an investor for $0.80 per share today.</a>
Musk and Ramaswamy seem unfazed, emphasizing Trump's "mandate" to deliver on his promises. For now, federal workers might want to monitor their inboxes – and maybe their retirement plans.
While the focus on high salaries grabs headlines, the ripple effects of these cuts could extend far beyond individual paychecks. Critics warn that slashing jobs in vital areas like health care and education could lead to service delays and strain on remaining staff. For example, fewer medical officers in the Department of Veterans Affairs could mean longer wait times for veterans needing care. This is a move that could raise eyebrows. And requiring federal employees to show up five days a week might seem straightforward, but it could backfire. We could see more turnover among top talent, especially younger workers who want flexibility. As DOGE&#8217;s plans unfold, the challenge will be balancing cost-cutting with delivering services to people who need them.

Musk and Ramaswamy May Target This Surprising Government Role That Pays More Than You'd Think

Progressive shares are trading higher after the company reported a year-over-year increase in November financial results.

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) is on track to hit <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bitcoin-price-prediction">$160,000 by 2025</a>, according to a new Matrixport report.
The projection is underpinned by sustained demand for Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), a favorable macroeconomic environment, and the continued expansion of the global liquidity pool.
The <a href="https://x.com/Matrixport_EN/status/1867480829188092021">report</a> highlights that Bitcoin's institutional adoption is accelerating, with ETFs playing a pivotal role in driving inflows.
Institutional investors who embraced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/24/12/42437939/bitcoin-etfs-spark-institutional-interest-the-doors-have-been-blown-off-superstate-ceo-says">Bitcoin ETFs</a> have already realized significant returns, incentivizing further capital allocation.
"Bitcoin's integration into diversified portfolios has proven effective, making it an increasingly mainstream asset for institutional strategies," Matrixport analysts noted.
The report suggests that Bitcoin's increasing role in portfolios as a hedge against inflation and an alternative store of value has bolstered its demand.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Key Drivers Of The $160,000 Target</h3>
<ol>
<li>Bitcoin ETF Demand: Matrixport attributes much of Bitcoin's projected price growth to sustained demand for Bitcoin ETFs, which has strengthened market liquidity. The growing accessibility of ETFs is making Bitcoin a preferred choice for institutional investors.</li>
<li>Global Liquidity Expansion: An expanding global liquidity pool is creating a supportive environment for Bitcoin's price to scale. Combined with lower volatility due to broader adoption, Bitcoin appears poised to mature as an asset class.</li>
<li>Macroeconomic Environment: The evolution of the macroeconomic landscape, including inflationary concerns and central bank policies, has created a fertile ground for Bitcoin's growth.</li>
</ol>
The report also highlights Bitcoin's growing user base and adoption rates, which are approaching the critical 8% global adoption threshold. 
Historically, technologies crossing this milestone, such as smartphones, have experienced exponential growth due to network effects.
Matrixport projects that Bitcoin's price momentum will be less affected by sharp corrections, as its status as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/41050565/bitcoin-shines-as-hedge-against-major-geopolitical-events-says-research-firm">a hedge asset matures.</a>

Microvast Holdings's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MVST#NYSE">MVST</a>) short percent of float has fallen 43.87% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 13.53 million shares sold short, which is 13.42% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

Fartcoin (CRYPTO: FARTCOIN), a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/meme-coins">meme-based cryptocurrency</a> with unconventional origins, has hit an all-time high market capitalization of $763.9 million.
The Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>)-based token's meteoric rise, reaching a preliminary all-time high of $764 million on Friday per DexScreener <a href="https://dexscreener.com/solana/bzc9nzfmqkxr6fz1dbph7bdf9broyef6pnzesp7v5iiw">data</a>, has been driven by a mix of online speculation and social media buzz.
What Happened: The surge comes amid a viral Reddit thread where a user revealed her husband had invested a significant portion of their net worth—$175,000—into the token.
The post, <a href="https://x.com/TrungTPhan/status/1867295160956236071">shared</a> by Twitter user Trung Phan, gained widespread traction but could not be independently verified.
The Reddit post highlights a husband's apparent confidence in the token, with responses ranging from disbelief to humor. 
The post quoted the husband justifying his investment with phrases like "hot air rises," a reference that quickly went viral across social media platforms.
The story ignited debate on Twitter, where user Jacob King <a href="https://x.com/JacobKinge/status/1867400603564953931">said</a>, "BREAKING: Fartcoin's market cap has now surged to $643 million, making it larger than 85% of U.S. publicly traded companies." 
This comment sought to underline the rapid growth of the token, while others questioned the significance of its market cap.
A skeptical voice, A Concerned Observer, <a href="https://x.com/ChronoAJ/status/1867413592095813820">tweeted</a>, "You guys do understand that market cap doesn&#8217;t actually work for tokens, right?" 
Meanwhile, supporters like DGMD <a href="https://x.com/DGMD22/status/1867412217446248515">quipped</a>, "This seems very undervalued. I mean, everybody farts, and it's just science that hot air rises."
Adding to the frenzy, Trung Phan humorously shared, "Time Magazine names Guy Who Put Significant Amount of Family's Net-worth into Fartcoin the ‘Husband of the Year 2024.'"

Why It Matters: Fartcoin was born from Terminal of Truths, an AI agent known for its controversial posts on X (formerly Twitter).
The agent, supported by a $50,000 Bitcoin grant from venture capitalist Marc Andreessen, explored token launch ideas to fund creative projects like film production and reforestation efforts.
The token was first conceptualized in Infinite Backrooms, a collaborative space where AI agents, powered by Anthropic's Claude 3 Opus model, discuss and develop ideas.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/42079984/dogecoin-bitcoin-left-in-the-dust-by-ai-meme-coin-goat-as-nvidias-q3-earnings-draw-near">AI-conceived meme coins</a> like Fartcoin and GOAT have been tipped to become a big trend in 2025, possibly challenging the supremacy on &#8220;conventional&#8221; meme coins like Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) and Shiba Inu (CRYPO: SHIB).
What began as an experimental funding tool has now transformed into a digital asset with skyrocketing popularity.
