Palantir, Amazon, Affirm, Pinterest, And Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

The Department of Government Efficiency staff member, Marko Elez, resigned following revelations of his involvement with a racist social media account. This news comes in the wake of a legal dispute involving Elez&#8217;s access to sensitive Treasury Department data.
What Happened: Elez, a former SpaceX employee and a Rutgers University graduate, resigned from his position at DOGE after his connection to a racist social media account was exposed, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/doge-staffer-resigns-over-racist-posts-d9f11a93?mod=hp_lead_pos3">reported</a> The Wall Street Journal.
The account, now deleted, was known for promoting racism and eugenics, with posts such as &#8220;Just for the record, I was racist before it was cool,&#8221; and &#8220;Normalize Indian hate,&#8221; referring to the significant presence of Indian professionals in Silicon Valley.
White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt confirmed Elez&#8217;s resignation after The Wall Street Journal questioned the White House about his connection to the account. Elez, who had access to the Treasury Department&#8217;s central-payments system, had been in the midst of a legal dispute over access to sensitive taxpayer information and systems used by the Treasury Department to process trillions of dollars in payments annually.
Earlier on Thursday, a U.S. District Court judge ruled that Elez could retain access to the department's payment systems but imposed restrictions on data sharing. Elez resigned later that day.

Why It Matters: Elez&#8217;s resignation comes amidst concerns about his access to sensitive Treasury Department data. A federal judge had <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/02/43539572/musk-allies-face-treasury-data-limits-as-judge-steps-in">restricted the handling</a> of sensitive Department of Treasury data amid concerns over access granted to allies of Musk leading a government review. This decision followed a lawsuit filed by labor unions arguing that DOGE, led by Musk appointees, could compromise financial records.
Earlier, it was reported that Elez, a 25-year-old engineer, had been granted extensive access to critical U.S. Treasury Department payment systems, <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43497170/ex-spacex-engineer-with-musk-ties-granted-high-level-treasury-access-lawmakers-raise-red-flags">raising alarm</a> among government officials and cybersecurity experts.
The recent events surrounding Elez&#8217;s resignation and his access to sensitive data highlight the ongoing concerns about the influence and access of Musk&#8217;s appointees within the federal government.
Musk, an avid supporter of Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>), now heads the Department of Government Efficiency, which shares its acronym with the cryptocurrency.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Dogecoin traded nearly 2.9% lower at $0.25, according to <a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent020325&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Elon Musk-Led DOGE's Marko Elez, Who Had Treasury Payment Access, Resigns Over Racist Social Media Posts

The U.S. Department of Agriculture said Wednesday that six dairy herds in Nevada have tested positive for a strain of bird flu associated with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/restaurants/25/02/43511263/high-egg-prices-drive-waffle-house-to-add-50-cent-surcharge">man's death in January.</a>
The Details: The infected Nevada cows mark the first time the D1.1 variant of the H5N1 bird flu has been detected in cattle which means the cows contracted the virus from birds and not another herd of cattle.&nbsp;
This is the second time a type of bird flu has been introduced into cattle herds by wild birds, according to a CNN <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/05/health/bird-flu-cattle-nevada/index.html">report</a>. If wild birds are spreading the disease to cattle, it could become endemic, or continuously circulating.&nbsp;

"In my opinion, it is now endemic, and it should be classified as an endemic virus," Dr. Louise Moncla, a pathobiologist at the University of Pennsylvania, told CNN.&nbsp;
The D1.1 variant is the strain associated with a Louisiana man's death in January and a severe case contracted by a teenager in British Columbia who was hospitalized in critical condition last fall.&nbsp;
Michael Worobey, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Arizona who has studied the H5N1 virus in cattle, <a href="https://fortune.com/well/2025/02/06/new-bird-flu-spread-cows-nebraska-expert-warns-could-worse-covid/">told</a> Fortune that the virus has the potential to "make COVID seem like a walk in the park" and federal officials should quickly share information in order to stop the spread.&nbsp;
That may be hard to do, considering the Trump administration in late January <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/01/43194764/trump-administration-halts-all-communications-from-the-centers-for-disease-control-as-bird-flu-spreads">ordered all</a> communications from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to stop. The pause in communications includes the CDC&#8217;s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, a scientific publication on health information and recommendations.
Stocks To Watch: According <a href="https://www.aphis.usda.gov/livestock-poultry-disease/avian/avian-influenza/hpai-detections/hpai-confirmed-cases-livestock">to the USDA</a>, H5N1 avian influenza has been detected in 957 herds in 16 states. Companies exposed to the dairy industry are on watch due to the uncertainty surrounding bird flu in cattle herds.&nbsp;
Coca-Cola Consolidated, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COKE#NASDAQ">COKE</a>) has over 80 dairy products under 15 brands including Fairlife milk and Core Power protein shakes and would likely be sensitive to dairy price increases or shortages.&nbsp;
Chocolate makers like Hershey Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HSY#NYSE">HSY</a>) and Mondelez International, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MDLZ#NASDAQ">MDLZ</a>) are also heavily exposed to the dairy industry as milk is one of their top ingredients.&nbsp;
General Mills Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GIS#NYSE">GIS</a>), maker of Häagen-Dazs ice cream, Yoplait and Oui French-style yogurt, should also be monitored as the bird flu situation develops.&nbsp;

Super Bowl LIX features a matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles, with the Chiefs attempting to be the first NFL team to win <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/25/02/43480342/chiefs-chase-historic-super-bowl-three-peat-and-nba-legend-stands-to-gain">three straight Super Bowls.</a>
A Benzinga poll finds whether people are most excited to watch the game, the commercials, the halftime performance or sightings of Taylor Swift.
What Happened: Super Bowl LIX is a rematch of Super Bowl LVII from 2023 when the Chiefs won 38-35. Like that Super Bowl, this Chiefs and Eagles match <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/25/01/43324031/super-bowl-lix-commercials-hit-record-8-million-how-fox-corporation-can-win-from-nfl-championship">will also air on FOX</a>, a unit of Fox Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOX#NASDAQ">FOX</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOXA#NASDAQ">FOXA</a>).
Viewers will tune in to see the matchup between the two giants, who came into the playoffs as the number one seed in the AFC (Chiefs) and number two seed in the NFC (Eagles).
Kendrick Lamar&nbsp;could also attract viewers to the big game, with Super Bowls sometimes seeing their peak or a spike in viewership during the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/09/40776084/kendrick-lamar-to-perform-super-bowl-lix-halftime-could-apple-fox-and-universal-music-get-a">halftime music performance.</a>
Many viewers will also tune into the Super Bowl for the commercials in between. To date, brands have shelled out $7 million to $8 million for a 30-second spot in this year&#8217;s big game. Fox was even able to get more than $8 million for some of its last-minute inventory of Super Bowl commercials.
Another item that could attract viewers this year and could lead to record viewership is the presence of music superstar Taylor Swift, who is involved in a romantic relationship with Chiefs&#8217; tight end Travis Kelce.
Benzinga recently polled its followers to see what aspect of the Super Bowl they were most excited about.
"What's the biggest reason you'll be watching Super Bowl LIX?" Benzinga asked.
<ul>
<li>The Game (Chiefs vs. Eagles): 63%</li>
<li>The Commercials: 19%</li>
<li>The Halftime Show (Kendrick Lamar): 11%</li>
<li>Taylor Swift Sightings: 8%</li>
</ul>
The NFL championship game was the top response by a majority of voters. Ranking second was the commercials, followed by the halftime show and Taylor Swift sightings.
For comparison, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/02/37054043/super-bowl-lviii-could-break-viewership-records-are-viewers-more-excited-about-football-ush">same question asked by Benzinga</a> on social media last year saw users on X say the following:
<ul>
<li>The Game: 54%</li>
<li>Halftime Show (Usher): 6.9%</li>
<li>Super Bowl Commercials: 15.3%</li>
<li>Taylor Swift: 23.8%</li>
</ul>
Based on this year's poll results, more people are excited about the game and the commercials with fewer excited about the halftime performance and seeing Swift.

Why It's Important: Last year's Super Bowl<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/02/37085784/123m-viewers-make-super-bowl-2024-most-watched-tv-event-ever-paramount-revels-in-streaming-"> set a record </a>with an average of 123 million viewers, with 202.4 million people watching at least a portion of the game.
This year's Super Bowl could set records again or continue the trend of having average viewership of over 100 million people and setting new streaming records.
During the 2024 NFL season, the Chiefs were the most-watched team, helping several media companies set records for viewership.
Lamar recently won five Grammy Awards, including Song of the Year and Record of the Year for "Not Like Us." The musician was previously part of the 2022 Super Bowl halftime show that featured Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem and Mary J. Blige.
Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) signed a deal with the NFL in 2022 for the sponsorship of the halftime show and could continue its wins in recent years with huge viewership for halftime shows featuring Rihanna and Usher in 2023 and 2024 respectively.
&#8220;Apple is thrilled to bring the show, starring the absolutely incomparable Kendrick Lamar, to fans worldwide with Apple Music&#8217;s industry-leading Spatial Audio quality along with tons of exclusive videos, interviews, playlists and so much more across Apple Music,&#8221; Apple&#8217;s Vice President of Apple Music&nbsp;Oliver Schusser&nbsp;said when Lamar was announced as the Super Bowl LIX performer.
With another globally recognized artist, Apple could score big with cross-promotions of its music features and the ability to launch exclusive content for Apple subscribers.
Another potential winner is&nbsp;Universal Music Group&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNVGY#OTC">UNVGY</a>)(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UMGNF#OTC">UMGNF</a>), which has had a hand in five of Lamar's six studios albums. Super Bowl Halftime performers often see a substantial spike in songs and albums around the big game.

The study was conducted by Benzinga from Feb. 4, 2025, through Feb. 6, 2025. It included the responses of a diverse population of adults 18 or older. Opting into the survey was completely voluntary, with no incentives offered to potential respondents. The study reflects results from 107 adults.

Here's How Much $100 Invested In Netflix 20 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43303778/bill-gates-says-this-book-on-ai-will-change-every-industry-predicts-millions-of-jobs-will-vanish-by-2030">Bill Gates</a> didn't stick around Harvard for long—he dropped out after three semesters to start Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) in 1975. But he was there just long enough to leave a lasting impression.&nbsp;
One of Gates' former professors, applied mathematics expert Harry Lewis, remembers him as inquisitive and "mature" beyond his years. According to Lewis, Gates had a habit of questioning authority and tackling tough problems.&nbsp;
"He always wanted a challenge," Lewis, who has been teaching at Harvard since the 1970s, told The Times of London recently. "I wasn't surprised when he dropped out—I just wish I'd invested in him."&nbsp;

</ul>
Gates left Harvard to launch Microsoft at a time when software was still an emerging industry. The move paid off—he became a billionaire by 31. Today, Microsoft is worth nearly $3.2 trillion, and Gates has an estimated net worth of $108.7 billion, according to Forbes.&nbsp;
If Lewis had put just $100 into Microsoft when it went public in 1986, that investment would be worth about $650,000 today, based on price appreciation and dividends, reflecting the monumental impact of his contributions to the technology sector.&nbsp;
As a student, Gates quickly realized he wasn't always the smartest person in the room. He told The Times that being surrounded by students with stronger math skills was a wake-up call. Determined to keep up, he overloaded his schedule with extra classes while spending hundreds of hours writing software in Harvard's computer lab.&nbsp;

"It was, ‘Oh s&#8212;, there may be people better than me at math,'" he recalled. His memoir, Source Code, which covers his early years before Microsoft, was just released.&nbsp;
Despite his self-doubt, Gates clearly had a talent for problem-solving. According to Lewis, he could have pursued a career in mathematics "if he wanted to." One moment that stood out was when Lewis introduced his class to the "pancake problem," a complex sorting puzzle. Just two days later, Gates returned with a better solution.&nbsp;
See Also: 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>
That solution was later published in a 1979 academic paper and remained the standard for nearly 30 years. It wasn't until 2008 that researchers finally improved on his method.

"They never could have actually done the case analysis were it not for the computer industry that Bill Gates built in the intervening 30 years," Lewis told NPR.

Bill Gates' Harvard Professor: 'I Wasn't Surprised When He Dropped Out—But I Wish I'd Invested in Him'—$100 Could Be $650,000 Today

Reid Hoffman, the co-founder of LinkedIn and former COO of PayPal, isn&#8217;t a fan of Elon Musk&#8216;s actions in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">Trump White House</a>. The billionaire implied that much of his former PayPal colleague&#8217;s decision-making has been reckless.
What Happened: Hoffman <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAbM7WJOxGU&amp;ab_channel=BloombergTelevision">appeared</a> on Bloomberg TV in an interview covering artificial intelligence and politics and was asked about Musk&#8217;s rapid cutting of government programs on behalf of his Department of Government Efficiency.
&#8220;In government, the &#8216;move fast and break things&#8217; [approach] should maybe be a little more compassionate and judicious.&#8221;
Since Trump&#8217;s inauguration just over two weeks ago, Musk has rapidly initiated downsizing of federal agencies and cutbacks of programs such as USAID.
Hoffman was one of the largest financial backers of former Vice President Kamala Harris&#8216; campaign against Trump. While the Princeton alum has largely supported the Democratic Party in recent years, he criticized the Biden Adminsistration&#8216;s antitrust enforcement under FTC Chair Lina Khan.
&#8220;There&#8217;s a reason the government doesn&#8217;t work like companies even though there&#8217;s an efficiency that&#8217;s really good, and we need to respect those reasons too.&#8221;
When asked if he fears pushback from the Trump Administration due to his political contributions, Hoffman reiterated his continued interest in the well-being of the country.
&#8220;What we most want as American citizens is for our government, to succeed for our industry and succeed for our citizens. That&#8217;s what I most want,&#8221; Hoffman said.
