Entrepreneur-turned-politician and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy officially declared on Monday his intention to run for the Ohio governorship in 2026.
What happened: Ramaswamy announced his candidacy on Monday at a rally in Cincinnati, near his birthplace, stating, "I am honored to officially announce my candidacy to serve as the next Governor of Ohio."

President Donald Trump endorsed Ramaswamy's bid late Monday night, calling his former GOP primary rival "something special" in a Truth social post.&nbsp;
"He will be a great Governor of Ohio, will never let you down, and has my complete and total endorsement," Trump added.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

Interestingly, Ramaswamy avoided mentioning the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, the ambitious federal cost-cutting initiative he briefly co-chaired with tech entrepreneur Elon Musk.

Keurig Dr Pepper Gears Up For Q4 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

Jason Les, CEO of leading Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) miner Riot Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIOT#NASDAQ">RIOT</a>), stated on Monday that the company was committed to boosting Bitcoin yield for its shareholders but denied exploring maneuvers like those of&nbsp; Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) as yet.
What happened: During the firm's fourth-quarter earnings call on Monday, Les outlined the significance of offering a higher Bitcoin per share by minimizing dilution.&nbsp;
He pointed out that the company&#8217;s mining operations, characterized by a "very low" direct cost of production, are the key to this strategy.
"And of course, always going to be looking to raise capital in the least dilutive, lowest cost of capital manner in order to enhance Bitcoin yield," the CEO added.&nbsp;
The "Bitcoin Yield" metric, popularized by Strategy, the world's largest corporate holder, measures the percentage change in the number of Bitcoins a company owns per share over a period. The metric helps gauge the effectiveness of the Bitcoin acquisition strategy.&nbsp;

"We think with our assets and the things that we&#8217;ve what we build up here at Riot, we are well positioned to find alternative forms of financing," Les stated.
On the question of introducing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43913122/strategy-acquires-20356-bitcoin-for-1-99-billion-boosts-2025-btc-yield-to-6-9">"structured products"</a> like Strategy, the CEO said, "That&#8217;s not something that we&#8217;ve looked too closely at yet."
Why It Matters: Les' remarks come in the wake of a trend among leading U.S.-based Bitcoin miners to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/42867736/us-bitcoin-miners-hoard-apex-crypto-to-shield-against-rising-expenses-mara-riot-replicate-microstrategys-playbook">accumulate BTC as a buffer</a> against increasing competition and shrinking profit margins.&nbsp;
Riot bagged approximately $510 million worth of Bitcoin in December. As of this writing, it was the third-largest corporate Bitcoin holder, with a stash of 18,221 BTC, worth $1.67 billion, <a href="https://bitcointreasuries.n">according</a> to bitcointreasuries.net.
Riot Platforms <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43928216/riot-platforms-shares-climb-after-fy-2024-results-details">reported </a>a fiscal 2024 revenue of $376.7 million, surpassing the analyst consensus estimate of $372.34 million. The company posted mining revenue of $321 million for the year, as compared to $189.0 million in 2023, primarily driven by higher average Bitcoin prices.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $92,165.87, down 3.64% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
Shares of Riot rose 1% in after-hours trading, after closing 4.49% lower at $9.990 during Monday's trading session. Year-to-date, the stock has dropped 2.15%.

Riot Platforms CEO Reaffirms Plan To Boost Bitcoin Yield But 'Not Looking Too Closely' At Michael Saylor-Led Strategy's Maneuvers

Elon Musk's SpaceX is reportedly pushing to deploy Starlink satellite internet terminals within the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration's national airspace network — a move that raises concerns over conflicts of interest and the status of Verizon Communication's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VZ#NYSE">VZ</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/03/31605628/verizon-secures-2-4b-contract-to-modernize-faa-infrastructure">existing contract to upgrade</a> the system.
What Happened: Musk approved the shipment of 4,000 Starlink terminals to the FAA last week to support the agency's IT infrastructure overhaul, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-02-25/musk-seeks-to-install-starlink-terminals-in-us-airspace-network">reported</a> Bloomberg, citing a person familiar with the matter.
One terminal has already been installed at the FAA's air-traffic control technology lab in Atlantic City, New Jersey, for testing.
The FAA manages 45,000 flights carrying nearly 3 million passengers daily.

In 2023, Verizon was awarded a $2.4 billion contract to lead the network upgrade, but it remains unclear how Starlink's involvement could affect that agreement, the report noted.
Verizon denied knowledge of any changes. It told the publication that the company has "no indication that these reports are accurate."
Why It Matters: Musk's deepening involvement in government infrastructure projects could spark scrutiny, especially as the FAA is also responsible for regulating SpaceX's launches.
Musk's Starlink currently faces challenges from China&#8217;s SpaceSail and Jeff Bezos&#8217; Project Kuiper, both of which are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/02/43906438/elon-musks-starlink-braces-for-global-satellite-war-as-chinas-spacesail-and-jeff-bezos-kuiper-expand">expanding their satellite networks</a>.
Earlier, <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/general/space/25/02/43807232/trump-praises-elon-musks-starlink-rollout-says-spacex-rocket-recovery-is-like-you-grab-a-beautiful-little-babyclaims-us-russia-china-cant-compete">Starlink&#8217;s rapid deployment</a> was praised by President Donald Trump, who highlighted its crucial role during Hurricane Helene&#8217;s aftermath in North Carolina.
As SpaceX remains privately held, Musk last year dismissed the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39519229/elon-musk-dismisses-rumors-of-spacex-ipo-as-it-reportedly-seeks-210b-valuation-pressure-for-short-te">idea of an IPO</a>, citing the pressure for short-term results in public companies.
Price Action: Verizon&#8217;s stock rose 0.023% in after-hours trading to reach $43.33. Earlier on Monday, it closed at $43.32, marking a 1.31% gain, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Elon Musk's SpaceX Pushing To Integrate Starlink In US Airspace Network, Raising Conflict Of Interest Concerns

Influential economist and market commentator Peter Schiff criticized Strategy Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) debt-fueled Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) purchases on Monday, pointing out the decline in the firm&#8217;s share price and the narrowing Net Asset Value premium.
What Happened:&nbsp;Schiff stated on X that despite the company&#8217;s co-founder Michael Saylor talking&nbsp;about his leveraged Bitcoin buys&nbsp;generating a yield of 6.9% this year, the stock value has dropped by 6%. 
Schiff stated that the &#8220;massive dilution&#8221; has destroyed shareholder value, causing&nbsp;the premium to its Bitcoin&nbsp;holdings to collapse by 85%.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

The NAV premium measures the firm's market value to its Bitcoin holdings value. According to the MSTR <a href="https://www.mstr-tracker.com/discuss/premium">tracker</a>, the premium was 1.604 as of this writing, or 60%, down from 2.148, or 148%, on Jan. 19. 
Typically, a high premium reflects the market&#8217;s trust in the company&#8217;s Bitcoin investment strategy.

Why It Matters:&nbsp;Strategy&#8217;s Bitcoin play has been under scrutiny, with some, like Schiff, questioning its effectiveness. 
Last week, he <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43838036/peter-schiff-says-michael-saylor-led-strategys-convertible-debt-offerings-arent-going-well-as-stock-falls-despite-bitcoins-gain">warned</a> that if the company's shares continue to trade&nbsp;at a discount to its&nbsp;Bitcoin holdings, it could lead to a negative Bitcoin yield.

The company announced its latest acquisition of 20,356 BTC&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43399688/microstrategy-prices-preferred-stock-offering-at-80-per-share-seeks-563m-to-buy-bitcoin" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">for approximately $1.99 billion</a>&nbsp;on Monday.

Peter Schiff Questions Michael Saylor-Led Strategy's Leverage Bitcoin Play Amid MSTR Decline: 'Massive Dilution Has Destroyed Shareholder Value'

Chinese tech giants Tencent Holdings (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCEHY#OTC">TCEHY</a>), Alibaba Group Holdings Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), and ByteDance have significantly increased orders for Nvidia Corporation's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) H20 AI chips, as the rise of DeepSeek's low-cost AI models drives a surge in demand for AI computing power.
What Happened: The spike in H20 chip orders, reported by Reuters, citing six people familiar with the matter, highlights Nvidia's continued dominance in the AI chip market.
The H20 is a China-specific chip, developed in response to U.S. export restrictions that prevent Nvidia from selling its most advanced AI hardware to Chinese companies.
While concerns about additional U.S. trade restrictions exist, sources say the primary driver behind the demand is DeepSeek's AI models, which optimize computational efficiency for inference tasks rather than relying solely on raw processing power.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/02/43930715/google-sued-over-ai-search-overviews-education-company-says-tech-giant-is-stealing-content-and-driving-publishers-out-of-business">Google Sued Over AI Search Overviews — Education Company Says Tech Giant Is Stealing Content And Driving Publishers Out Of Business</a>
These models have gained rapid adoption across industries, from cloud computing to automotive applications.
Tencent is reportedly testing DeepSeek's AI models in WeChat, while automaker Great Wall has integrated them into its connected vehicle systems. Analysts estimate Nvidia shipped around 1 million H20 chips in 2024, generating over $12 billion in revenue.
Why It Matters: Last month, Nvidia recognized China's DeepSeek R1 AI model. The model built for less than $6 million, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43256425/nvidia-says-deepseek-an-illustration-of-how-new-ai-models-can-be-created-while-being-export-control-compliant-amid-600-billion-market-value-plunge">allegedly outperformed</a> top U.S. models, including those from OpenAI.
This milestone contributed to a broader tech market downturn, leading to a 17% decline in Nvidia's stock and a more than 20% plunge in AI infrastructure shares. It also led to a $600 billion drop in Nvidia's market capitalization.
Earlier this month, in an interview, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang addressed <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/43876025/nvidia-ceo-attributed-the-deepseek-led-sell-off-to-investor-misconception-on-ai-spending-obviously-that-paradigm-is-wrong">investor concerns</a>, attributing the sell-off to misconceptions about AI infrastructure spending.
Price Action: In after-hours trading, Nvidia rose 0.51%, reaching $130.95 at the time of publication, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>.

The discussions are ongoing, and the final terms could change, the report added.&nbsp;
If the deal goes through, it would be the first major outside investment since Musk's takeover.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">X&#8217;s Financial Moves and the Road to Recovery</h2>
Since Musk took control, has had a tough time holding on to advertisers. According to <a href="https://www.actionsxchangerepository.fidelity.com/ShowDocument/ComplianceEnvelope.htm?_fax=-18%2342%23-61%23-110%23114%2378%23117%2320%23-1%2396%2339%23-62%23-21%2386%23-100%2337%2316%2335%23-68%2391%23-66%2354%23103%23-16%2369%23-30%2358%23-20%2376%23-84%23-11%23-87%2348%23-52%23-21%23-96%23-58%23-33%23-107%23-46%2393%23113%23-112%23127%23-42%23-97%2330%23-58%23-24%23-27%23-119%2394%23-121%23-102%23-69%23-71%23-99%2338%2353%23-51%2361%23-106%23-18%23-43%23-106%23-20%23-31%2385%23-55%235%2388%23-74%2371%23107%23-82%23-3%23-86%23-27%23-57%23-125%2342%23119%2357%23-111%2321%2363%23-99%2317%23-28%2320%23-38%23-101%23113%2380%23-77%23-4%23">Fidelity Investments</a>, the company's valuation dropped nearly 72% by October, largely because of concerns over content moderation and brand safety. Advertising revenue took a hit, and many major brands pulled their spending. But now, there are signs of a comeback.

In December, as mentioned by Bloomberg, Musk's aerospace company, SpaceX, reached a valuation of $350 billion, cementing its status as the most valuable private tech firm.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, his artificial intelligence startup, xAI, secured $6 billion in funding at a $50 billion valuation and could soon see that number climb to $75 billion. X holds a 10% stake in xAI, which ties its future to the fast-growing AI sector.
To add value, X has integrated xAI's Grok 3 AI model into its platform. As claimed by the company, <a href="https://x.com/grok/status/1891793693020991658">Grok 3 outperforms </a>AI systems from Google (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>, GOOGL)), OpenAI, Anthropic, and DeepSeek. Following its release, X raised the price of its Premium+ subscription to nearly $50 a month as part of a push to generate more revenue outside of advertising.

Still, ad revenue hasn't fully bounced back. In line with industry reports, X's U.S. ad sales were down 28% year-over-year in 2024. However, some brands are returning. CEO Linda Yaccarino <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1R9LtHiZ74w">said in early January</a> that 90% of advertisers who had previously left have resumed spending on the platform.
X has appeared to be pressuring advertising giant Interpublic Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IPG#NYSE">IPG</a>) to increase client spending on the platform, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/media/x-hinted-at-possible-deal-trouble-in-talks-with-ad-giant-to-increase-spending-feb122a6">according to The Wall Street Journal</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Interpublic leadership saw a phone call from an attorney from X as a threat that its planned $13 billion merger with Omnicom Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OMC#NYSE">OMC</a>) could be slowed down or blocked by the incoming Trump administration due to Musk's expected role in the government, The Journal reported.&nbsp;
Musk also is dealing with legal troubles. The Securities and Exchange Commission on Jan. 14 <a href="https://www.sec.gov/enforcement-litigation/litigation-releases/lr-26219">announced a lawsuit</a> against Musk for allegedly not timely disclosing he purchased more than 5% of Twitter's common stock in March 2022.

What Happened: Bitcoin sank below $91,000 for the first time in over three months, while Ethereum fell to an intraday low of $2,461.52, its lowest since Feb. 3.
The apex cryptocurrency has already lost 9.7% since February began, in contrast to the 43% rise it saw last year. Ethereum has dropped 23.63% and could be heading to its worst February.
Ethereum was at the center of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43905078/bybit-nears-recovery-after-crypto-heist-freezes-42-89-million-in-stolen-funds-secures-1-23-billion-in-eth-through-whales-and-loans">$1.4 billion hack</a> on cryptocurrency exchange Bybit. Although the platform claims to have restored its ETH holdings to pre-hack levels, concerns about hackers dumping such a big amount have generated alarm.
The market bled profusely, with over $960 million getting liquidated in the last 24 hours. Upside bets accounted for $890 million.&nbsp;
Hedges against price decline increased as the total number of short positions surpassed long positions, according to the Long/Short Ratio.
That said, a whopping $1.61 billion in short positions risked liquidation if Bitcoin reclaimed $100,000.
The market was gripped with "Extreme Fear," according to the Crypto Fear and Greed Index, sparking concerns of further downsides.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Bleed Amid Trump's Tariff Threat, Bybit Mega Breach: Analyst Says 'Mid-Bull Reset' Not Unprecedented, Full-Blown Bear Market Not Yet Here

On Monday, Chegg Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHGG#NYSE">CHGG</a>) sued Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google, alleging that its AI-generated search overviews are unfairly using publishers' content, reducing site traffic, and threatening the future of online publishing.
What Happened: Chegg, a provider of textbook rentals and online tutoring, filed the lawsuit in Washington, D.C., claiming that Google&#8217;s AI overviews are diminishing demand for original content and harming publishers&#8217; competitiveness, reported Reuters.
Chegg CEO Nathan Schultz stated, "Our lawsuit is about more than Chegg – it's about the digital publishing industry, the future of internet search, and about students losing access to quality, step-by-step learning in favor of low-quality, unverified AI summaries."

Google spokesperson Jose Castaneda dismissed the claims, stating, "With AI Overviews, people find Search more helpful and use it more, creating new opportunities for content to be discovered."
Why It Matters: Previously, publishers like The Atlantic have also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/12/36236482/googles-ai-search-a-double-edged-sword-for-publishers-like-the-atlantic">expressed concerns</a> over Google&#8217;s AI search capabilities, fearing reduced web traffic as users receive direct answers without visiting external sites.

Google Sued Over AI Search Overviews — Education Company Says Tech Giant Is Stealing Content And Driving Publishers Out Of Business

Amazon.com, Inc. has unveiled a comprehensive guide to help job seekers navigate its rigorous hiring process—an approach rooted in founder Jeff Bezos&#8217; long-standing belief that hiring the right people is critical to a company&#8217;s success.
What Happened: Since Amazon's early days, Bezos has spoken about the importance of hiring top-tier talent.
In a 1998 interview, he revealed that he spent "about a third of the interview asking questions designed to ascertain whether or not [a candidate] can hire great people."
He believed that scaling Amazon successfully hinged not just on external challenges but on the company's internal ability to execute with top talent.

Now, Amazon is continuing that legacy by pulling back the curtain on its hiring process. In a blog post last week, the company outlined six key things every candidate should know when interviewing for a job at Amazon in 2025.
The Interview Process Is Structured And Multi-Step
Amazon's hiring process typically involves an initial phone screen, followed by role-specific assessments, and then an in-depth interview loop with multiple employees. The entire process can take anywhere from three to six weeks, with additional time required for senior roles.
You'll Have Several Key Contacts Throughout
Candidates will interact with a recruiter, a dedicated scheduler, and multiple interviewers, including a "bar raiser." This specially trained interviewer ensures Amazon maintains consistently high hiring standards and helps eliminate bias in decision-making.
Subscribe to the&nbsp;<a href="https://bztechtrends.beehiiv.com/subscribe" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter</a>&nbsp;to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
Amazon's Leadership Principles Are The Foundation
Amazon evaluates candidates based on its Leadership Principles, which guide company culture. Applicants should be prepared to demonstrate how they embody these principles, with "Customer Obsession" being central to every role.
Clear Timelines Help Keep Candidates Informed
Amazon aims to provide a decision within two business days of a phone screen and within five business days after final interviews. Offers typically involve a brief negotiation phase lasting a few days to a week.
Extensive Resources Are Available
Candidates can access role-specific interview guides, insights on company culture via Amazon's YouTube channel, and structured preparation methods like the STAR technique (Situation, Task, Action, Result).
‘Candid Chats' Offer A Glimpse Into Amazon's Culture
Before making a decision, candidates can participate in informal Candid Chats with current Amazon employees, allowing them to ask real questions about company culture, work-life balance, and career growth.
Amazon currently holds a market cap of $2.254 trillion, ranking as the world&#8217;s fourth most valuable company. Year-to-date, its stock is down 3.41%, but over the past 12 months, it has risen by 21.74%.

Jeff Bezos Knew Great Hiring Was Crucial Because He Used To Ascertain One Key Thing In Interviews — Now, Amazon Has Dropped 6 Must-Know Secrets To Landing A Job At The Tech Giant In 2025

Wilfredo Pagan, a 77-year-old Long Island resident, has spent years battling an unexpected adversary: the Social Security Administration. Despite being very much alive, Pagan has been repeatedly denied <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43592816/social-security-beneficiaries-have-every-reason-to-be-alarmed-by-musks-access-to-u-s-department-of-treasury-payment-system">Social Security benefits</a> because, according to government records, he has been dead for years. The bureaucratic mix-up has left him struggling to pay mounting medical bills while fighting to reclaim the benefits he has earned.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Bureaucratic Nightmare</h2>
Pagan, who owns a small shop in Far Rockaway selling spiritual candles and religious statues, has been trying to prove his existence to the SSA for years. His goddaughter, Deana Bain, has been by his side, showing officials multiple records dating back to 2016 that incorrectly list him as deceased. Yet, every attempt to correct the error has been met with delays and dead ends.
&#8220;We'll do an investigation and call you,&#8221; officials have repeatedly told Bain. But, as <a href="https://www.nbcnewyork.com/investigations/social-security-denies-benefits-long-island/6146362/">she told WNBC-TV news</a>, &#8220;Nothing.&#8221;

<li>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>.</li>
</ul>
Pagan&#8217;s frustration deepened when he visited his local Social Security office in Freeport, bringing his original <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43759346/massive-data-breach-exposes-americans-financial-details-names-card-numbers-pins-and-more-at-risk">Social Security card</a> to support his claim. Instead of resolving the issue, a worker confiscated his card, telling him it was fake. Pagan, who has worked his entire life and contributed to Social Security, was left humiliated and accused of fraud.
&#8220;Like I was a thief,&#8221; he recalled. &#8220;That is what hurt me.&#8221;
Despite presenting additional documents, including his birth certificate, Pagan says officials refused to listen.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Consequences of a Clerical Error</h2>
The effects of being <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/40043132/social-security-administration-accidentally-kills-memphis-woman-blocking-her-from-access-to-mone">mistakenly declared dead by Social Security</a> extend beyond denied benefits. According to the Social Security Advisory Board, between 7,000 and 12,000 people are incorrectly recorded as deceased each year. The consequences can be severe, affecting identity authentication, employment opportunities, tax refunds, and even access to credit.
For Pagan, the error has had a devastating impact on his declining health. Without Social Security benefits, he has struggled to cover his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/02/43662970/mark-cuban-says-u-s-healthcare-is-horrific-calls-for-free-medical-school-to-fix-doctor-shortages-and-soaring-costs">medical expenses</a>, and Bain worries that hospitals may refuse to treat him due to unpaid bills.
Adding to the confusion, Bain says that at one point, SSA officials suggested that someone else was receiving Pagan's benefits using his Social Security number. They claimed a person in the Dominican Republic had died while using his identity, but provided no further details.
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>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Glimmer of Hope?</h2>
Despite the repeated setbacks, Pagan had no trouble obtaining a U.S. passport last year, which listed his Social Security number. Yet, the death notices from the SSA continued to arrive.
After WNBC reported on Pagan's case, the SSA finally took action. Within hours of the news station reaching out to the local Social Security office, a representative contacted his family. While the agency declined to comment on Pagan's case specifically, he was granted an appointment at the Freeport Social Security office on Feb. 12.
The outcome of this meeting hasn't yet been reported on, but Pagan could be owed thousands of dollars in back benefits. For a man who has spent years trying to prove he is alive, this progression may finally bring the resolution he desperately needs.

On Monday, Elon Musk expressed his frustration over the perceived incompetence of federal workers and misuse of taxpayer money in a post on X. 
What Happened: Musk, who is associated with the Department of Government Efficiency, criticized the inability of some employees to pass a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43902918/elon-musk-demands-federal-workers-justify-their-jobs-fbis-kash-patel-tells-employees-not-to-respond">simple email test</a>, which he deemed as a display of contempt for how taxes are being spent.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">The email request was utterly trivial, as the standard for passing the test was to type some words and press send! Yet so many failed even that inane test, urged on in some cases by their managers. Have you ever witnessed such INCOMPETENCE and CONTEMPT for how YOUR TAXES are… <a href="https://t.co/QjSmY4ezpg">https://t.co/QjSmY4ezpg</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
This post comes in the wake of Musk&#8217;s demand that federal employees justify their positions to him via email or risk losing their jobs. This directive, according to Musk, aligns with President Donald Trump&#8217;s instructions to eradicate federal waste and fraud. However, this move has been met with resistance, with FBI&#8217;s Kash Patel advising employees not to respond to Musk&#8217;s request.
Musk said that subject to the discretion of Trump, Federal employees would be &#8220;given another chance.&#8221; Responding to the right-wing political commentator Matt Walsh, he said, &#8220;Failure to respond a second time will result in termination.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Musk&#8217;s role as a senior advisor to Trump has been under legal scrutiny, with allegations of him exercising &#8220;virtually unchecked power&#8221;. The Trump administration clarified that Musk is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43902918/elon-musk-demands-federal-workers-justify-their-jobs-fbis-kash-patel-tells-employees-not-to-respond">not a part of the DOGE</a> team but serves as a senior advisor to the President. This clarification comes as the Trump administration faces a lawsuit alleging Musk's influence is excessive for a non-elected, non-Senate-confirmed individual.
A lawsuit filed by several Democratic states seeks to restrict Musk and the DOGE team from accessing government systems, arguing that Musk's influence contravenes the Constitution. The Trump administration, however, maintains that Musk is not a DOGE employee and does not have the authority to make government decisions himself.
Musk&#8217;s recent post and his demands on federal workers are likely to fuel this ongoing controversy. His demand that federal employees submit work summaries or be considered resigned faced swift pushback from agency heads and lawmakers, leading the Trump administration to clarify that responses were voluntary. While Trump defended Musk's move as an efficiency measure, even some Republican senators criticized it as overreach, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5161948-trump-musk-opm-email-backlash/">reported</a> The Hill.

Elon Musk Says DOGE Email Request To Federal Workers Utterly Trivial: 'Failure To Respond A Second Time Will Result In Termination'

Dave Ramsey is doubling down on his stance against remote work, joining the ranks of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43306967/elon-musk-slams-work-from-home-as-messed-up-and-morally-wrong-meanwhile-remote-workers-quietly-sneak-in-three-day-weekends-every-week">Elon Musk</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43757032/jamie-dimon-goes-off-on-return-to-office-critics-you-dont-have-to-work-at-jpmorgan">Jamie Dimon</a>, explicitly saying that in-person collaboration is the key to success.&nbsp;
On a recent episode of the &#8220;EntreLeadership&#8221; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuu7_xBcFDI">podcast</a>, Ramsey talked with a business owner who was worried about employees skipping lunch to leave work early. This led to a bigger conversation about workplace rules, leadership, and his strong opinion on remote work.

<li>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>.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Case Against Remote Work</h2>
Ramsey, the well-known personal finance guru and business leader, was direct when talking about the efficiency of remote work. &#8220;We know things move at the speed of trust, and it&#8217;s very difficult to trust someone sitting in their pajamas on a Zoom call,&#8221; he said.
He explained that at Ramsey Solutions, employees are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/07/39945751/bosses-admit-using-return-to-office-mandate-to-get-workers-to-quit-survey">expected to work from the office</a> because it improves communication, creativity, and productivity. While he acknowledged that working from home isn&#8217;t &#8220;morally wrong,&#8221; he argued that it simply isn&#8217;t as effective as in-person collaboration.
Trending: ‘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>
His comments reflect a broader debate among business owners about the pros and cons of remote work. Some companies have embraced flexibility, while others, like Ramsey Solutions, insist that employees are more productive and engaged when they work in a shared space.
Ramsey also admitted that his stance has led some employees to quit. &#8220;I&#8217;ve had some people that said they wanted to work from home, and so they quit and went to work for somebody who wanted to work from home,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Which I guess makes me the crotchety old boss in this scenario, right?&#8221;
Despite acknowledging that his views aren&#8217;t popular with everyone, he stood by his belief that workplace structure is a key part of running a successful business. &#8220;It is my name on the side of the building, and it is my signature on the bottom of your freaking paycheck,&#8221; he stated.
See Also: If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-private-credit-fund">7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it</a>?
Ramsey's remarks highlight the challenges many business owners face when balancing employee preferences with business needs. His message is that company culture and expectations should be firmly established, and employees who disagree have the option to seek work elsewhere.
His advice to the business owner on the podcast was to address the issue directly and set precise expectations for employees, telling them that he let this situation go unchecked for a while, which created a gap in their customer service. He should also tell them he has regrets about not addressing it sooner because now it might seem like he&#8217;s reversing his stance, but that's not the case.
