Lemonade Options Trading: A Deep Dive into Market Sentiment

<p><strong><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44346708/charlie-munger-called-elon-musk-a-certified-genius-who-exaggerates-his-iq-but-warned-never-underestimate-the-man-who-overestimates-himself">Elon Musk</a></strong> recently claimed that Democrats are using entitlement programs — like Social Security and Medicaid — to attract undocumented immigrants, but experts have pushed back on this statement, saying there's no evidence to support it. Musk's comments have stirred political debate and raised questions about the future of <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</a> and other entitlement programs.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Musk&#8217;s Claims About Entitlement Spending</h2>
<p>In a recent interview with <a href="https://x.com/atrupar/status/1899201171111264676">Fox Business</a>, Musk claimed that the U.S. government is losing up to $600 million to $700 billion per year to waste and fraud in entitlement programs. "That&#8217;s also the mechanism by which Democrats attract and retain illegal immigrants by essentially paying them to come here and then turning them into voters," he said.</p>

<ul>
<li><strong>Can you guess how many retire with a $5,000,000 nest egg? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/5mil-nest-egg-adv"><strong>The percentage may shock you</strong></a>.</strong></li>
<li><strong><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-private-credit-fund">Bezos' Favorite Real Estate Platform Launches A Way To Ride The Ongoing Private Credit Boom</a></strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Musk's claims align with statements made by President <strong>Donald Trump</strong>, who has also alleged widespread fraud in the Social Security system. Trump suggested during a speech to Congress that the Social Security Administration is making payments to deceased individuals, some listed as being up to 160 years old. However, there's no solid evidence to support these claims on the scale Musk and Trump have described.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Experts Dispute Musk's Claims</h2>
<p>Experts have widely refuted Musk's allegations about entitlement fraud. <a href="https://oig.ssa.gov/news-releases/2024-08-19-ig-reports-nearly-72-billion-improperly-paid-recommended-improvements-go-unimplemented/">According</a> to the SSA Inspector General, approximately $72 billion in improper payments were made between 2015 and 2022 — less than 1% of the total Social Security benefits paid out during that period. While errors and fraud exist, they are not close to the levels Musk suggested.</p>
<p>Additionally, undocumented immigrants are not eligible to receive Social Security benefits. However, some pay into the system through payroll taxes using individual taxpayer Identification numbers or false Social Security numbers. This means they may contribute to Social Security but cannot collect benefits.</p>
<p><strong>Martin O'Malley</strong>, former SSA head under the Biden administration, warned that Musk and Trump's efforts to cut costs at the agency could lead to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44292349/if-i-were-a-beneficiary-id-be-setting-aside-some-money-right-now-former-ssa-commissioner-warns-that-payments-could-be-disrupted-soon">serious service disruptions</a>. He told <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/01/doge-actions-may-cause-social-security-benefit-interruption-ex-agency-head.html">CNBC</a> that the SSA's staffing reductions and office closures could cause delays in processing claims and handling benefits.</p>
<p><strong>Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks"><strong>One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</strong></a></strong></p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Political and Administrative Fallout</h2>
<p>Musk's comments have brought widespread debate from both sides of the aisle.&nbsp;</p>
<p>"There were howls of protest and denial from the GOP any time we pointed out that Republicans want to cut Social Security," former Secretary of Transportation <strong>Pete Buttigieg</strong> wrote <a href="https://x.com/PeteButtigieg/status/1899257453910368629">on X</a>. "Now the most powerful official in the White House goes on TV and calls it ‘the big one to eliminate.'"</p>
<p>Prior to Musk's comments, the Department of Government Efficiency — which Musk oversees — had already initiated cost-cutting measures at the SSA. The agency has announced plans to cut approximately 7,000 jobs and reduce its regional offices from 10 to four. Acting SSA Commissioner <strong>Leland Dudek</strong> has reportedly faced pressure from DOGE to eliminate "waste and fraud," but he has expressed concern that decisions are being made without sufficient understanding of SSA operations.</p>
<p>Despite Musk and Trump's aggressive push to reduce waste, they have not proposed cuts to Social Security benefits directly. Musk said <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1889002854708346938?s=46&amp;t=7MZjQjW2S78TQvoSIEUjXQ">on X</a> that his goal is to ensure Social Security "remains solvent and protects the social security checks of honest Americans!"</p>

If They Could Show A Plan For Ending World Hunger He'd Donate $6 Billion – ‘I Will Sell Tesla Stock Right Now And Do It'</em></strong></a></em></strong></p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Reality of Social Security Fraud</h2>
<p>While Musk and Trump have suggested that millions of deceased Americans are receiving benefits, experts believe the issue stems from data entry errors rather than actual fraud. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43957909/social-security-in-uncertain-times-what-the-resignation-of-michelle-king-and-musks-doge-data-push-could-mean-for-beneficiaries-2">SSA's computer systems</a>, which use outdated programming, default to a birth year of 1875 when birthdates are missing. This means some individuals are mistakenly listed as being over 150 years old. However, the SSA has a policy to terminate payments to beneficiaries over 115 years old to prevent fraud.</p>
<p>It's unclear whether Musk and DOGE will pursue additional cuts at the SSA or if their focus will remain on fraud investigations. Democratic lawmakers have voiced concerns that these efforts could undermine <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44153127/will-social-securitys-restructuring-impact-your-monthly-benefits-heres-what-to-know">Social Security's ability to provide timely benefits</a>. Meanwhile, Musk's statements about entitlement fraud and undocumented immigrants continue to generate political tension, even as data suggests that widespread fraud remains rare.</p>

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
<p>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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

What Does the Market Think About Albemarle?

ALZN

Alzamend Neuro shares are trading higher after the company announced it will initiate a Phase II clinical trial of AL001 for major depressive disorder.

<p><strong>Bitcoin </strong>(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) has dropped 16% in the past month, leading some analysts to warn of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44316555/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-decline-xrp-clinging-on-as-traders-wargame-bear-market-scenarios">a macro downtrend</a>. </p>
<p><strong>What Happened:</strong> Ali Martinez, a widely followed crypto chart analyst, points to several key indicators that suggest Bitcoin may be entering a bear market phase.</p>
<p>In an X <a href="https://x.com/ali_charts/status/1902044982564757791">post</a> on Tuesday, Martinez said Bitcoin may be entering a macro downtrend, as multiple indicators signal a shift. </p>
<p>Large investors and miners have been actively taking profits, with miners realizing $27 million and whales cashing out over $260 million. </p>
<p>Capital inflows have also plummeted from $135 billion in December to just $4 billion. </p>
<p>Martinzez stated that key support lie in the $66,000–$69,000 range, where 750,000 investors bought 313,000 BTC.</p>
<p>Additional metrics, such as the UTXO Realized Price Distribution and Mayer Multiple, reinforce $66,000 and $69,354 as crucial levels. </p>
<p>Whether Bitcoin holds this support could determine if a full bear market unfolds.</p>

<p><strong>What's Next:</strong> For the upcoming price targets, Martinez suggests keeping an eye on historical trends. In the past 10-years, when Bitcoin plunged below the 50-day simple moving average, it eventually touched the 200-week SMA at $46,000.  </p>
<p>He added that with rising global liquidity, there is still hope. </p>
<p>This historically correlates with Bitcoin recoveries around mid-April. </p>
<p>Martinez predicts reclaiming $93,700 as support is likely to push Bitcoin prices towards the $111,000 mark based on price bands.  </p>
