MicroStrategy, UnitedHealth Group, SoundHound, SentinelOne, Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Leading cryptocurrencies spiked Wednesday on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's favorable comments on Bitcoin and nomination of Paul Atkins as the next U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chair.

What Happened: The world's largest cryptocurrency breached $99,000 after a 10-day gap, while Ethereum tapped $3,800 for the first time in six months.&nbsp;
The rally was likely spurred by Powell <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42325788/fed-chair-powell-bitcoin-is-like-gold-just-virtual-and-digital">equating Bitcoin with gold</a> and dispelling notions that the leading cryptocurrency was a threat to the U.S. monetary system.
The appointment of Paul Atkins, perceived to be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42323248/trump-nominates-paul-atkins-as-sec-chair-emphasizing-digital-assets-as-key-to-making-america-greater">cryptocurrency-friendly</a>, as SEC's next Chair by President-elect Donald Trump, also provided fuel.
More than $513 million was liquidated from the cryptocurrency market in the last 24 hours, with $330 million in bullish bets getting erased.
About $383 million in short positions risked liquidation on Binance if Bitcoin hits $100,000.
Additionally, the number of top trader accounts shorting Bitcoin exceeded those placing bullish bets on the asset, as per Long/Short Ratio.
The "Extreme Greed" strengthened from 78 to 84 in the last 24 hours, per reading from the Cryptocurrency Fear &amp; Greed Index.

The global cryptocurrency market capitalization stood at $3.58 trillion, following an increase of 1.75% in the last 24 hours.
Stocks extended their record-breaking rally on Wednesday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 308.51 points, or 0.69%, to close above 45,000 for the first time. The S&amp;P 500 gained 0.61% to end at 6,086.49, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite spiked 1.30%, ending at 19,735.12. All three indexes closed at record highs.
The rally comes amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42314234/private-employers-add-fewer-than-predicted-jobs-in-november-manufacturing-was-the-weakest-weve-seen-since-spring">lower-than-expected growth</a> in U.S. private businesses in November.
Investors shrugged off Fed Chair Powell's remarks on moving cautiously with rate cuts given the healthy state of the economy, as odds of a 0.25% slash increased from 72.9% to 74% in the last 24 hours, <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">according </a>to the CME FedWatch tool.&nbsp;

ESPN Lands On Disney+ in Major Content Fusion: Here's What It Actually Means

Mohamed El-Erian, Allianz&#8216;s Chief Economic Advisor, warned on Wednesday about the growing intersection of political and economic challenges in France following Prime Minister Michel Barnier&#8216;s historic no-confidence ouster, even as Greek bonds achieved parity with French sovereign debt for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42328909/french-government-collapses-after-vote-of-no-confidence">first time since the Eurozone crisis</a>.
What Happened: &#8220;What we are seeing in France these days is yet another example of messy politics contaminating economics,&#8221; El-Erian wrote on X, distinguishing the current situation from Britain&#8217;s 2022 &#8220;Liz Truss moment&#8221; due to France&#8217;s Eurozone backing and different global financial context.
The political upheaval comes as Greek 10-year sovereign bonds closed their yield gap against French bonds in late November, trading below 3% &#8211; a remarkable turnaround from the peak of the Eurozone crisis when Greek bonds yielded 40 percentage points more than French debt.

Bank of America analyst Athanasios Vamvakidis attributes Greece&#8217;s resurgence to fiscal discipline and economic reforms, with the country expecting a primary budget surplus of 2.4% of GDP this year, <a href="https://www.euronews.com/business/2024/11/29/greek-bonds-mark-historical-milestone-spread-erased-against-france">reported</a> Euronews. Meanwhile, according to Goldman Sachs, France faces mounting pressure over its rising debt-to-GDP ratio, which is projected to reach 118% by 2027.

Why It Matters: Barnier&#8217;s removal followed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42328909/french-government-collapses-after-vote-of-no-confidence">parliamentary opposition to his proposed</a> €60 billion spending-cut package, with National Rally leader Marine Le Pen calling the budget &#8220;toxic for the French.&#8221; 
The political stalemate threatens to complicate France&#8217;s fiscal consolidation efforts as Eurostat forecasts French economic growth to slow to 0.8% in 2025, while Greece is projected to grow by 2.3%.
President Emmanuel Macron is expected to name a new prime minister, though the political deadlock in the Assembly will likely persist until new elections can be held in July. 
El-Erian noted that while France benefits from Eurozone institutional support, the current situation &#8220;will undermine growth and raise borrowing costs.&#8221;
Investors can track the market&#8217;s response to political turmoil via the iShares MSCI France ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWQ#NYSE">EWQ</a>), offering focused exposure to the French economy.

Mohamed El-Erian Calls Michel Barnier's Ouster An Example Of 'Messy Politics,' Notes Greek And French Bonds Achieving Historic Parity

Marshall Mathers, better known as Eminem, once openly admitted to being cautious with money, a habit that might have played a key role in building his $250 million empire.
What Happened: In a 2011 interview with Anderson Cooper on 60 Minutes, Eminem revealed his surprisingly thrifty mindset despite his immense success.
When Cooper asked if he enjoyed spending money, the rapper replied, "Not particularly." Cooper then shared a story about Eminem calling his manager to ask if he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/04/38138323/rolex-ceo-does-not-like-treating-luxury-watches-as-stock-investments-this-sends-the-wrong-">could afford</a> a Rolex watch.
Recalling the moment, Eminem said, "Yeah, I think it was a Rolex. And I asked him, could I afford it? They make fun of me for it, but I'm for real. This whole money thing was brand new to me."
While Cooper teased him for being a hip-hop artist who avoids flashy spending, Eminem defended his practicality. "I bought the Rolex; it's not a cheap watch. I still have it. I don't wear it because I don't want to scratch it," he said.

Instead, Eminem revealed he wears a G-Shock watch, manufactured by Casio Computer (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSIOY#OTC">CSIOY</a>), valued at around $100, as a practical and durable alternative to luxury brands.

</figure>
Why It Matters: Growing up in Detroit, Michigan, Eminem faced financial struggles that shaped his cautious approach to money.
However, today, the "Lose Yourself" rapper has a net worth of $250 million, <a href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-celebrities/richest-rappers/eminem-net-worth/">according</a> to Celebrity Net Worth. He has built a diverse portfolio that extends far beyond music.
Eminem has made over $107.5 million in digital sales, with streaming revenue alone adding between $11 million and $20 million, <a href="https://moneymade.io/learn/article/eminem-net-worth">reported</a> Money Made, citing the Recording Industry Association of America.
His record label, Shady Records, and highly successful tours, including a $36.4 million-grossing tour with Rihanna, have further bolstered his wealth.
Beyond music, Eminem has expanded into acting, with his 2002 biopic "8 Mile" grossing $243 million worldwide and earning him an Academy Award for Best Original Song.
He's also ventured into brand endorsements, partnering with companies like Nike and Carhartt, and made strategic investments in stocks, startups, and NFTs.

Millions have embraced his advice, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40920706/billionaire-mark-cuban-says-his-credit-was-so-bad-radio-shack-denied-him-if-you-use-credit-cards">cutting up their credit cards</a> and committing to his cash and debit-only spending philosophy. But for one former Ramsey follower, this rigid system left them in a devastating bind during a family emergency.

"We were dumb and bought into the no credit card thing," the user shared in a Reddit post. For a while, life seemed manageable. They were "moving along. Slowly. But moving." That changed when a death in the family required them to travel out of town. Without a credit card, they couldn't rent a car. "Tried every place at the airport. Found only one place that would rent using a debit card and they required proof of return flight. I didn't have the money to fly, so I didn't have a return flight!"
The user, left with no other option, explained, "Had to Uber to the funeral home and then beg for a ride off someone to get to the cemetery." Then, they had to beg for more rides back to the bus station. What should have been a moment to focus on grieving turned into a humiliating scramble because they followed Ramsey's directive to never use credit cards.

Ramsey is firm on this point: credit cards are dangerous, unnecessary and should never be kept, even for emergencies.&nbsp;
"Get rid of the credit cards NOW so you don&#8217;t use them in a moment of weakness," he's stated, according to Fox Business. Ramsey believes that having credit cards encourages overspending and reliance on debt. Instead, he recommends building an emergency fund with 3–6 months' worth of expenses and living strictly on cash and debit cards.
Ramsey even directly addressed the car rental issue in a June 2022 Instagram post. He wrote, "Yes, you can still rent a car or an apartment or even get a mortgage without a credit score. It takes a little more effort to live without one, but it&#8217;s a lot better than owing people money for the rest of your life."

But as the Reddit user discovered, life doesn't always work within the confines of a perfect financial plan. Emergencies happen and there are situations where cash and debit simply don't suffice. After their funeral ordeal, they decided to get a credit card but found the process difficult and frustrating due to their lack of recent credit history. They eventually secured a low-limit, high-fee card and began rebuilding from scratch.
The issues didn't stop there. Later, lenders turned them down when they tried to refinance their home because of their limited credit history. "No one would touch us. We were never late with a payment, but had no real credit history for the past year or so," they explained. Even Ramsey's financial advisors offered little help, suggesting they find a private lender operating as an LLC. "Seriously. That's insane," they wrote.

Looking back, the Reddit user admitted they made a mistake. "Our own stupid fault for believing this blowhard and his advice," they said. Other commenters pointed out that there's a middle ground. "I think you could've just paid off the credit card and not used it or kept it only for emergency situations such as this," one person suggested.
This story highlights the potential downsides of Ramsey's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/39735296/dave-ramsey-says-you-should-withdraw-at-8-in-retirement-but-suze-orman-says-absolutely-not-and-c">one-size-fits-all approach</a>. While his advice has helped many people escape crushing debt, it doesn't account for the complexities of modern life. Credit cards aren't inherently bad – they're tools and like any tool, they can be misused. Keeping a credit card for emergencies, maintaining good credit history and using it responsibly could have saved this family from significant stress.
"Just beware the advice you take," the user warned. Ramsey's rigid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/42172292/caller-asks-dave-ramsey-are-you-smarter-than-warren-buffett-as-he-claims-index-funds-outperform-actively-managed-funds-by-50">rules might work for some</a>, but for others, they could lead to being stranded in their moment of greatest need.

'Had To Uber To The Funeral Home And Beg For A Ride' – This Family Says Dave Ramsey's No-Credit Advice Failed Them

The trading activity of members of Congress is closely followed by investors as the buying and selling of stocks can come based on alleged information. Now investors have to follow the trading activity of Congress members when it comes<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/meme-coins"> to meme coins.</a>
What Happened: A trading disclosure by Rep. Mike Collins (R-Ga.) caught the attention of social media as he disclosed buying two cryptocurrencies this week following his recent trading activity of<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/01/36598903/move-over-bitcoin-etf-this-congressman-has-been-buying-ethereum"> buying and selling cryptocurrency.</a>
Collins disclosed that he bought $2,000 to $30,000 worth of meme coin Ski Mask Dog (CRYPTO: SKI) based on two transactions of $1,000 to $15,000 in size. The congressman also disclosed buying Aerodrome (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">AERO</a>), a cryptocurrency he has purchased before.
The disclosures can be found on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/gov-trades/members/mike-collins">Benzinga government trading page </a>for Collins. 
Several of the most well-known social media accounts that track congressional trading activity tweeted about the unusual purchase.
<ul>
<li>"Congressman @RepMikeCollins bought crypto ‘Ski Mask Dog' $SKI two days ago. The coin is up +210% in the last seven days," Congresstrading <a href="https://x.com/congresstrading/status/1863999720747680247">tweeted</a>.</li>
<li>"Just came across one of the wildest trades I've seen. U.S. Representative Mike Collins just bought up to $30K of a cryptocurrency called ‘Ski Mask Dog'. It appears to have a market cap of less than $100M," QuiverQuant <a href="https://x.com/QuiverQuant/status/1863957645951934886">tweeted</a>.</li>
<li>"Look at this. US politician Michael Collins buys up to $15,000 of $AERO crypto and up to $15,000 of SKI MASK DOG crypto. Unusual," Unusual Whales <a href="https://x.com/unusual_whales/status/1863972451161620912">tweeted</a>.</li>
</ul>
While all three tweets attracted interest on social media, it was the tweet from Unusual Whales that caught the attention of Collins, who <a href="https://x.com/RepMikeCollins/status/1864031318712946793">replied </a>to the tweet with a meme of Pepe the Frog, well-known in the crypto community thanks to the meme cryptocurrency Pepe (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">PEPE</a>).
Collins confirmed the purchase with <a href="https://decrypt.co/294893/base-meme-coin-congressman-mike-collins">Decrypt</a>.
"I liked the coins, so I bought them," Collins told Decrypt. "Washington and Wall Street have stigmatized emerging technology in the crypto ecosystem for far too long, and it's about time that we start treating the industry with the respect it deserves."
When asked about meme coins and if they need to be disclosed by members of Congress for trading activity, Collins said yes.
"Meme coins should certainly be treated as any other asset, digital or otherwise."

</ul>
 Why It's Important: Collins isn't new to disclosing buying and selling cryptocurrency with past disclosures showing his trading of Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), Aerodrome, Velodrome (CRYPTO: VELO) and The Graph (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">GRT</a>).
Collins&#8217; purchases of Ethereum have been larger in recent disclosures compared to the meme coin he recently bought. The congressman has also disclosed selling some of the cryptocurrencies in the past, which could make the recent meme coin buy one to watch in case he later shows he sold it after the recent gains.
Members of Congress have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/04/38362018/congressman-buys-bitcoin-near-all-time-highs-how-much-has-he-lost-so-far">previously disclosed</a> buying Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), Ethereum and Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>). Sometimes they also disclose more unusual purchases like former Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/22/06/27515201/blockchain-data-shows-undisclosed-trades-in-rep-madison-cawthorns-ethereum-wallet-report">buying the </a>Let's Go Brandon meme coin.
Aerodrome trades at $1.83, up 27% in the past seven days and up 14% over the past 24 hours. The cryptocurrency hit a new one-month high of $1.95 earlier today.
Ski Mask Dog, which began trading earlier this year, now has a market capitalization of more than $230 million. The meme coin has soared in value and is up 76% over the past 24 hours, likely due in part to Collins' disclosure.
The meme cryptocurrency currently trades at $0.241 at the time of writing, hitting a new all-time high of $0.2551 earlier Wednesday.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the U.S. economy remains strong and even commented on Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) at the New York Times <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42324505/jerome-powell-says-us-economy-in-remarkably-good-shape-fed-can-be-little-more-cautious-with-interest-rates">DealBook Summit on Wednesday. </a>
The Details: "The U.S. economy is in very good shape right now. It's in remarkably good shape, we are sort of the envy of other large economies around the world, and I'm going to do everything I can to keep it there during the rest of my term, and I feel very good about where the economy is and where monetary policy is," Powell said.

Powell said the current state of the economy allows the Fed to exercise caution in moving rates back down to a more neutral level.
"We view this as slightly hawkish — but stopping well short of challenging the market's growing confidence that a December cut is the base case, which has been our view all along," Krishna Guha at Evercore said, per Bloomberg.&nbsp;
The Fed's next rate decision is scheduled for Dec. 18 and markets are placing about a 75% probability that the Federal Open Market Committee will cut its key borrowing rate by a quarter percentage point. According to CNBC, the <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/04/powell-says-hes-not-worried-about-the-fed-losing-its-independence-under-trump.html">expectation</a> is that the Fed then skips the January meeting before cutting a few more times in 2025.
Powell on BTC: Powell <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42325788/fed-chair-powell-bitcoin-is-like-gold-just-virtual-and-digital">also addressed </a> Bitcoin at the DealBook Summit. 
"People use Bitcoin as a speculative asset. It's like gold — it's just virtual and digital," Powell<a href="https://x.com/andrewrsorkin/status/1864379310599196846"> said</a> during the discussion.
"It's not a competitor for the dollar. It's really a competitor for gold," he added.
The price of Bitcoin pushed higher, approaching the $100,000 level, after Powell's comments and crypto-proponents spoke out on social media.&nbsp;
Anthony Pompliano, CEO of Professional Capital Management, reflected on the crypto market's reaction to Powell's comments.&nbsp;
"Bitcoin is going up because people are realizing central banks and countries don&#8217;t hate Bitcoin anymore. Poetic," Pompliano <a href="https://x.com/APompliano/status/1864415928831619304">posted </a>on X.

Fed Chair Powell Says Economy Remains Strong, Bitcoin Is 'Like Gold': Expert Weighs In

On Wednesday, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) publicly backed President Joe Biden&#8217;s controversial decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden.
What Happened: Pelosi expressed her support for the presidential pardon, stating, &#8220;I support the president.&#8221; When asked if she specifically backed the pardon, Pelosi said, &#8220;The pardon, yes,&#8221; <a href="http://What Happened: As per The Hill, Pelosi expressed her support for the presidential pardon, stating, &quot;I support the president.&quot; When asked if she specifically backed the pardon, Pelosi affirmed, &quot;The pardon, yes,&quot; reported The Hill.">reported</a> The Hill.
This endorsement is in stark contrast to the reactions of several Democrats on Capitol Hill and beyond, who have openly criticized Biden&#8217;s move. Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.) stated that the pardon &#8220;was wrong,&#8221; and Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) argued it puts &#8220;personal interest ahead of duty.&#8221;
Biden announced a &#8220;full and unconditional pardon&#8221; for his son on Sunday night, causing a stir in Washington. This move marked a significant shift from the White House&#8217;s previous stance, which had consistently denied any intention to pardon Hunter Biden or commute his sentence.

Pelosi&#8217;s support is particularly noteworthy given the circumstances surrounding Biden&#8217;s decision to drop his reelection bid earlier this year. Pelosi was reportedly among the Democrats urging Biden to step down from the presidential race.
Why It Matters: The pardon, announced on Sunday, was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42258387/biden-grants-full-and-unconditional-pardon-to-hunter-i-hope-americans-will-understand">justified by Biden </a>as a response to the selective and unjust prosecution of his son. The President argued that his son was treated differently than others who had committed similar offenses.
Historically, Biden is not the first president to pardon a family member involved in legal or political controversy. Former presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/12/42274099/after-hunter-pardon-biden-may-consider-others-what-to-expect">pardoned family members</a>.
Following Biden&#8217;s pardon of his son, speculation has intensified about potential pardons by President-elect Trump, with traders assigning an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42273301/joe-biden-pardons-hunter-donald-trump-likely-to-pardon-january-6-protestors-polymarket-traders-speculate">85% chance of a pardon</a> for the January 6th rioters in the first 100 days.

Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial and Operational Update
The Company is increasing its fourth quarter 2024 Adjusted EBITDA&#x2A; guidance to a range of $36 million to $39 million, compared to its prior expectation for a range of $33 million to $36 million. The primary drivers behind the updated range are continued enhanced utilization levels and improved cost absorption in the Solaris Power Solutions segment. The Company expects to deploy an average of approximately 250 MW during the fourth quarter, which reflects full utilization of its currently available asset base. In its Solaris Logistics Segment, the Company expects results to be relatively in line with expectations, which should continue to support strong total company operating cash flow generation in the fourth quarter.
Solaris Power Solutions Growth Capital Update
The Company recently placed orders for 9 additional 16.5 megawatt ("MW") gas-fired turbines to support rapidly accelerating customer demand, totaling approximately 145 MW in incremental generation capacity. Solaris now expects to exit first quarter 2026 with approximately 680 MW of generation capacity. The Company expects to invest up to $120 million for the new turbine order, including ancillary equipment. Additionally, the Company expects to invest approximately $40 million in Selective Catalytic Reduction ("SCR") technology to further enhance the emissions profile of the fleet in support of multi-year installations on selected locations. This expected approximately $160 million growth capital investment should occur primarily over the course of 2025, with equipment deliveries scheduled to occur from fourth quarter 2025 through first quarter 2026.

In their newly appointed roles by Donald Trump of leading the Department of Government Efficiency, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have their sight set on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41927289/trump-appoints-elon-musk-and-vivek-ramaswamy-to-lead-doge-targeting-bureaucracy-and-65-trillion-federal-spending-we-will-not-go-gently">eliminating government waste.</a>
The duo could have a new target to tackle: daylight saving time.
What Happened: Musk and Ramaswamy have made headlines for sharing programs and government agencies they will target in their newly announced positions of leaders of the Department of Government Efficiency, or D.O.G.E for short.
Billionaire Musk recently sparked speculation that he could have his targets set on eliminating daylight saving time with a tweet recently.
"Looks like the people want to abolish the annoying time changes!" Musk <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1861801650383659230">tweeted </a>last week, linking to an X user's poll.
Ramaswamy seemed to agree, replying "it's inefficient &amp; easy to change."
While it was not clear if the duo were serious about working on a change, it's not the first time and might not be the last time that the discussion escalates on ending the practice of changing clocks twice a year.
Daylight saving time is the process of moving clocks forward one hour in the spring and moving clocks back one hour in the fall, a practice that has to do with the number of hours with daylight for daily routines like work and school.
The process of changing time on clocks can lead to loss of sleep in the morning, missed appointments and public health problems, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2024/12/03/daylight-saving-time-musk-ramaswamy/">according </a>to the Washington Post.
Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) voiced support for Trump and Ramaswamy to make daylight saving time permanent.
"The outdated practice of changing our clocks twice a year and needs to end," Tuberville <a href="https://x.com/SenTuberville/status/1864072109074342100">tweeted</a>.

</ul>
Why It's Important: A push for year-round daylight saving time could see clocks move ahead one hour and never fall back for more people around the world to enjoy sunshine, according to the report.
"Switching the clocks just doesn't make sense for a country on the move," Sen. Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) told the Washington Post. "But we need permanent daylight saving time — more hours of daylight in the evening means more hours to get things done."
The Washington Post said public health groups think a permanent standard time could improve overall health and decrease the risk of heart attacks and stroke.
"There is significant stress on the body, and changes that occur, when we are not aligned to the right internal clock," University of California at San Francisco-Fresno sleep medicine physician Lourdes DelRosso told the Washington Post earlier this year.
A YouGov poll in March 2023 cited by the report said 62% of Americans were in support of ending the practice of daylight saving time. Around 50% of the poll found that people preferred year-round daylight saving time, with around a third wanting permanent standard time.
Along with health savings by making a change there could be economic savings. A <a href="https://www.chmura.com/blog/dst">study </a>from Chmura Economics &amp; Analyst estimates that the total economic cost of daylight saving time in the U.S. is $672.02 million annually.
This total includes $374.75 million from increased heart attacks, $251.53 million from increased strokes, $18.35 million other workplace injuries and $27.39 million from increased traffic accidents.
What's Next: The debate on daylight saving time has waged on for years and while many support making a permanent change, legislation has stalled and nothing has been done.
Hawaii and part of Arizona currently operate on a permanent standard time clock and some U.S. territories like American Samoa, Guam and Puerto Rico do the same.
Trump has shown past support of making daylight saving time permanent, as <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5020756-tuberville-daylight-saving-time-doge/">reported </a>by The Hill.
In the early 1970s, a decision to adopt permanent daylight saving time was reversed 10 months later after receiving complaints about children waiting in the dark for school buses.
Attempts to change daylight saving time could require Congress to pass a bill, which could make Musk and Ramaswamy's attempts a starting point, but potentially not a final one.
The Transportation Department currently oversees daylight saving time and said it does not have the power to change without Congress, as reported by The Washington Post.
