Elon Musk's initiative to reduce the federal workforce, part of Donald Trump's "department of government efficiency," could disrupt the labor market, as economists warn that cutting jobs from the 3 million civilian employees may hinder job creation. Musk and co-head Vivek Ramaswamy aim for $500 billion in savings through mass layoffs, raising concerns about the impact on job seekers and potential increases in contractor costs. Meanwhile, Trump has nominated Paul Atkins to lead the SEC, signaling a crackdown on Big Tech, as he reshapes his administration with loyalists and financial experts.
Donald Trump has nominated Paul Atkins, a crypto enthusiast and former SEC commissioner, to chair the US Securities and Exchange Commission, indicating a shift towards a more lenient regulatory approach. Trump emphasized Atkins' commitment to common sense regulations and the importance of digital assets for America's growth.In a related move, Trump appointed Gail Slater to lead the Department of Justice’s antitrust division, aiming to combat Big Tech's dominance and promote competition. He expressed pride in addressing these issues during his first term and expects Slater to continue that effort.
Donald Trump is considering appointing Gail Slater, a key aide to vice-president-elect JD Vance, to lead the Department of Justice’s antitrust unit, signaling a tough enforcement approach against Big Tech. This move aligns with a growing populist sentiment among Republicans advocating for aggressive antitrust actions, similar to those of the Biden administration. Other contenders for leadership roles at the FTC include Melissa Holyoak and Mark Meador, with varying views on antitrust policy.
President-elect Donald Trump is consulting the crypto industry on his selection for the new SEC chair, with top contenders including Paul Atkins and Brian Brooks. As he prepares to overhaul SEC leadership, Trump has pledged to support the crypto sector, promising to create a favorable regulatory environment and appoint a crypto czar to guide policy. The crypto industry anticipates a significant shift in regulatory dynamics following the resignation of current SEC chair Gary Gensler.
The incoming Trump administration's ties to tech billionaires like Elon Musk may disrupt traditional Pentagon procurement practices, shifting from a "cost plus" to a "cost minus" model. This transition could favor newer, tech-driven defense contractors, although significant challenges remain in integrating commercial innovations with military needs. Despite optimism, the military's extensive requirements often clash with the agile solutions offered by startups, highlighting a cultural divide that persists in defense procurement.
Charging infrastructure for heavy-duty electric trucks is lacking across much of America, particularly in New York and Nebraska, hindering the adoption of zero-emission vehicles. While some officials advocate for a compliance timeline to improve infrastructure, critics argue that economic incentives are more effective than mandates. The Nebraska Trucking Association highlights the significant costs of establishing charging stations and improving electrical distribution, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach to emissions reduction without government favoritism.
A potential clash between JD Vance and Elon Musk is anticipated, with significant implications for the stock market and the future of American technology. Vance opposes big tech and advocates for decentralization, while Musk supports a technopolitical merger with government, reflecting a broader ideological battle in the post-Trump era. The outcome could reshape the dominance of tech giants and influence equity markets, particularly the Nasdaq.

While remaining positive on China’s fundamentals, UBS takes a cautious stance on India due to expensive valuations and ordinary performance.
