On Monday, OpenAI announced that it is extending the ChatGPT Search engine to all users, including those on the free tier. The AI search engine was initially launched for paid subscribers in October.
What Happened: As part of its latest announcement under the &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42332451/sam-altman-teases-12-days-of-openai-christmas-magic-users-predict-unveiling-of-sora-o1-reasoning-model-and-more">12 Days of OpenAI</a>&#8221; Livestream, the AI startup also introduced an optimized version of the search feature for mobile users and the ability to search using advanced voice mode.
One of the key improvements for mobile search is the presentation of ChatGPT as a conventional search engine.
When users search for a specific location, such as restaurants or local attractions, ChatGPT will display a list of results with corresponding images, ratings, and hours of operation.

Another update aims to speed up ChatGPT search for specific types of sites, like &#8220;hotel booking websites.&#8221; Instead of immediately generating a response, ChatGPT will first present links to websites before providing more detailed information about each option.
ChatGPT can now also automatically provide real-time information from the web when using Advanced Voice Mode, although this feature is only available to paid users.

OpenAI&#8217;s ChatGPT has also been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42378596/openais-chatgpt-makes-headway-in-search-threatening-googles-reign">gaining traction</a>, with a survey earlier this month revealing that it was the favored search provider for 5% of respondents, an increase from 1% in June.
In previous livestreams, OpenAI also announced the launch of its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42398825/sam-altman-calls-openais-new-video-generator-so-compelling">text-to-image model</a> Sora and a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42356469/openai-unveils-200-chatgpt-pro-subscription-inside-the-o1-reasoning-model-and-what-it-means-for-power-users">$200 per month</a> ChatGPT Pro subscription.

Why It Matters: OpenAI&#8217;s SearchGPT <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41087674/openais-searchgpt-set-to-disrupt-googles-search-empire-as-former-engineer-sounds-alarm-on-deteriorat">has been poised to disrupt</a> Alphabet Inc-owned (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&#8217;s search empire. In 2023, Google Search accounted for $175.0 billion, or 73.6%, of Alphabet&#8217;s total advertising revenue, which reached $237.9 billion.
ChatGPT Search and Google Search differ in purpose. ChatGPT provides personalized, context-aware responses through conversation, while Google quickly retrieves diverse content using relevance-focused algorithms.
Despite real-time search updates, ChatGPT lacks Google's depth and advanced capabilities. Similarly, despite AI Overviews in play, Google Search doesn&#8217;t offer users the convenience of conversational dialogues.
Meanwhile, Google also faces increased competition from Jeff Bezos-backed AI startup Perplexity. This AI-driven search engine has grown substantially, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entrepreneurship/24/08/40292703/perplexity-ais-revenue-usage-skyrocket-as-it-enters-into-advertising">250 million questions answered in July</a>, surpassing the 500 million queries it handled the previous year.

ChatGPT Search Goes Free: OpenAI Challenges Google's Unbroken Search Dominance

U.S. auto safety regulator National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Monday that it has finalized a rule requiring new passenger vehicles to sound a warning if rear-seat passengers do not <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40706822/nhtsa-closes-probe-into-1-3m-gm-vehicles-over-seat-belt-safety-concerns">use a seat belt</a> starting in Sept. 2027.
What Happened: The rule also requires enhanced warnings if front seat belts aren&#8217;t fastened, the agency said, while adding that it expects the new rule to prevent over 500 injuries and save about 50 lives per year once fully implemented. The new rule applies to passenger cars, trucks, buses, and multipurpose passenger vehicles weighing up to 10,000 pounds. 
Previously, the rule mandated a seat belt warning only for the driver&#8217;s seat. 
However, now, manufacturers need to issue enhanced seat belt warnings if front seat passengers are not strapped in starting from Sept. 1, 2026, and rear seat&nbsp;belt warnings starting Sept. 1, 2027.
Why It Matters: "While seat belt use has improved for decades, there's still more we can do to make sure everyone buckles up. These new requirements will help to increase seat belt use, especially for rear seat passengers, by enhancing reminders for vehicle occupants to buckle up,"&nbsp;NHTSA Chief Counsel Adam Raviv said. Passengers sitting in the front seats are more likely to don a seat belt than those in the rear seats, according to NHTSA. 
Seat belt warning systems use both visual and audible signals to urge passengers to wear seat belts. As <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/41867551/tesla-faces-nhtsa-scrutiny-over-social-media-promotion-of-fsd-technology-that-shows-disengaged-driver-behavior">per the agency</a>, about half of all passenger vehicle occupants who died in crashes in 2022 were not strapped in.

New US Cars To Sound Warnings If Rear passengers Fail To Fasten Seat Belts: 'More We Can Do To Make Sure Everyone Buckles Up'

The Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>) ecosystem announced an exclusive airdrop of its newly launched meme coin Shifu (SHIFU) on Monday to reward its loyal community members.
What Happened: &#8220;According to a post on the official Shiba Inu account, anyone holding 100,000 SHIB tokens and 100 Bubble (BUBBLE) tokens—the native cryptocurrency of the Imaginary Ones ecosystem, with which Shiba Inu launched the meme coin—will have access to approximately 22% of the supply
Additionally, 4% of the supply would be reserved&nbsp;for holders of Shib Games,&nbsp;Doge Killer (LEASH), Bone ShibaSwap (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">BONE</a>), and Shiboshi &amp; Sheboshi non-fungible tokens.
Moreover, 4% of the supply would be set aside for participants of the Imaginary Ones Carnival &amp; NFTs.

A cryptocurrency airdrop is a marketing stunt in which a blockchain project sends free tokens to user wallets, mostly to existing users, to promote the spread of the new cryptocurrency.
Price Action:&nbsp; Shiba Inu tokens responded with varying degrees to the development. SHIB, the major meme currency, dropped 2.3% in the last 24 hours, BONE slipped 0.9%, while LEASH rallied 6.6% 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>.

New Meme Coin From Shiba Inu Ecosystem Up For Grabs: Here's How Much SHIB, LEASH, BONE Holders Can Expect

Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) faces renewed scrutiny over its warehouse safety practices following a Senate investigation that claims the e-commerce giant manipulated injury data and prioritized speed over worker safety, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42501141/amazon-faces-strike-threat-over-labor-disputes-as-teamsters-push-for-fair-contract-ahead-of-crucial-holiday-season">allegations the company strongly disputes</a>.
What Happened: A 160-page report released on Sunday by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), chair of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, found Amazon warehouses recorded 30% more injuries than the industry average in 2023, with workers nearly twice as likely to be injured compared to other warehouse employees.
&#8220;Amazon's self-assessment is disturbingly inaccurate and that the company operates uniquely dangerous warehouses—knowingly allowing unsafe conditions that injure workers and failing to fix those unsafe conditions if doing so could hurt the company's bottom line,&#8221; the report said. 
The investigation claims Amazon&#8217;s productivity quotas force workers to &#8220;move in unsafe ways&#8221; and repeat movements thousands of times per shift, leading to musculoskeletal disorders. The report also alleges the company &#8220;actively discourages&#8221; injured workers from seeking outside medical care.
Amazon sharply rejected these findings in a detailed response, stating the investigation &#8220;wasn&#8217;t a fact-finding mission, but rather an attempt to collect information and twist it to support a false narrative.&#8221; The company reports it reduced its recordable incident rate by 28% and lost time incident rate by 75% between 2019 and 2023.

Why It Matters: The company defended its safety benchmarking practices, noting its transportation-focused facilities recorded a recordable incident rate of 6.3 in 2023, below the industry average of 9.7. Amazon emphasized that increasing delivery speeds has coincided with decreasing injury rates across its network.
&#8220;Our safety record continues to improve,&#8221; Amazon stated, highlighting investments in ergonomic enhancements and climate-controlled facilities. The company maintains that its performance expectations are &#8220;reasonable and achievable,&#8221; based on actual team accomplishments.
Price Action: Amazon stock closed at $232.93 on Monday, up 2.40% for the day, with a slight after-hours drop. Year-to-date, the stock has risen 55.36%.
With a market cap of $2.45 trillion and a price-to-earnings ratio of 48.60, Amazon&#8217;s RSI is 72. The consensus price target is $244.36, with a high of $285 from JMP Securities and a low of $197 from Wells Fargo. The average target of $273.33 suggests a 17.51% upside, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMZN/analyst-ratings">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Bernie Sanders Accuses Amazon Of 'Uniquely Dangerous' Warehouse Conditions, E-Commerce Giant Says Senator's Premise Is 'Fundamentally Flawed'

MicroStrategy co-founder and executive chairman Michael Saylor said Monday that the incoming Donald Trump administration was serious about setting up a U.S. strategic Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) reserve.&nbsp;
What happened: During a CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2024/12/16/watch-cnbcs-full-interview-with-microstrategy-ceo-michael-saylor.html">interview</a>, Saylor stressed the importance of "buying the future" if one knows where the money is going.
"All the capital outside the U.S. and all the 20th-century antiquated capital is going to flow into digital assets and the Bitcoin network," the Bitcoin bull said. "The logical thing for the U.S. is to buy it now and own the future."
He added that the government could buy as much as 20–25% of the Bitcoin network by selling its gold reserves or by borrowing a "small" amount of money.
"The Bitcoin network is going to go up by a factor of 100. You might as well buy it before ."
Saylor also urged the incoming administration to take the lead in establishing a digital assets framework, outlining clear definitions of different entities and fixing the responsibilities of participants.

Why It Matters: Saylor's remarks come amid reports of President-elect Trump exploring the possibility of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42505162/trump-reportedly-considering-executive-order-to-establish-strategic-bitcoin-reserve">issuing an executive order to create</a> a strategic Bitcoin reserve.
Last week, he also pledged to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42480856/donald-trump-pledges-to-do-something-great-with-crypto-heres-what-hes-done-so-far">"do something great with crypto</a>" when queried about plans for a national Bitcoin stockpile.
A bill has already been proposed by Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wy.), called the BITCOIN Act, to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42080839/cynthia-lummis-says-strategic-bitcoin-reserve-could-take-shape-soon-after-trump-raises-his-hand-and-is-sworn-in">create a strategic reserve in Bitcoin</a> to support America's balance sheet and address its mounting debt, which topped $36 trillion this year.
The bill outlines a program to purchase 1 million BTCs, about 5% of Bitcoin's total supply, over a period of five years, with a minimum holding period of 20 years.
The purchase of this proportion could give further impetus to Bitcoin, already on a record-breaking run. This could in turn impart more volatility to MicroStrategy stock, which is a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41567772/ahead-of-mag-7-earnings-season-michael-saylor-celebrates-bitcoin-proxy-microstrategys-reco">de facto Bitcoin proxy.</a>

Trump Serious About Bitcoin Reserve, Says MicroStrategy's Michael Saylor: 'Buy It Now And Own The Future'

Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives predicts a major tech sector expansion driven by artificial intelligence and deregulation under President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s administration, forecasting the Nasdaq could reach 25,000 within 18 months.
What Happened: Speaking on CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Closing Bell,&#8221; Ives <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_u-8ZGNwwA">described</a> Trump&#8217;s incoming administration as a &#8220;Goldilocks scenario&#8221; for tech companies, citing expected regulatory relief from agencies including the Federal Trade Commission.
&#8220;Let&#8217;s get the popcorn out for what will be the AI revolution,&#8221; Ives said, emphasizing that the sector&#8217;s current surge is &#8220;just getting started.&#8221; He explained that AI&#8217;s multiplier effect is spreading across the technology landscape, impacting everything from software to cybersecurity infrastructure.
The analyst expects 80% to 90% of regulatory concerns to diminish under Trump, though some Department of Justice antitrust investigations into companies like Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) will continue.

Why It Matters: Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) stands to gain the most through mergers and acquisitions, according to Ives, while Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) emerges as the &#8220;biggest winner at the top of the mountain,&#8221; partly due to CEO Elon Musk&#8216;s early alignment with Trump.
Addressing current tech adoption, Ives noted that only 45% of workloads currently operate in cloud environments, predicting a dramatic increase as more AI use cases emerge. &#8220;It&#8217;s 10:00 p.m. in the AI party, and now the velvet ropes are open,&#8221; he said.
The forecast comes as multiple tech CEOs plan meetings with the president-elect in Palm Beach, signaling potentially closer cooperation between Silicon Valley and the incoming administration.
In January, Ives predicted that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/01/36445586/wedbushs-dan-ives-says-tech-stocks-will-be-up-25-in-2024-predicts-nasdaq-at-20k">Nasdaq would reach the 20,000 mark in 2024</a>, and his forecast has proven accurate, with the index now trading at 20,173.

Tesla Will Be The 'Biggest Winner' In The Trump Era, Says Dan Ives; Predicts Nasdaq At 25,000 In 18 Months: 'Get the Popcorn Out'

Influential economist&nbsp;Peter Schiff&nbsp;called Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) the biggest bubble ever on Monday, surpassing even the dot-com bubble of the late 1990s.
What Happened:&nbsp;Schiff, a staunch Bitcoin critic, expressed his views on the soaring valuation of the world&#8217;s leading cryptocurrency. He noted that the market capitalization of Bitcoin was over $2 trillion, which is higher than the combined market of around 400 dot-com companies at their peak before they went bankrupt. 
&#8220;Congratulations, Bitcoiners, on blowing the&nbsp;biggest bubble ever!&#8221; Schiff jabbed Bitcoin investors.

As is well known, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/dot-com-bubble">dot-com bubble</a>&nbsp;was a period of rapid growth in U.S. technology stock equity valuations in the late 1990s, eventually bursting between 2001 and 2002. Several of the most hyped tech companies ended up going bankrupt, such as Pets.com, 360networks, and eToys.com, while the likes of Microsoft and Amazon weathered the storm.

This isn&#8217;t the first time Schiff has expressed skepticism about Bitcoin. He has previously dismissed Bitcoin&#8217;s bull run as a &#8220;popular delusion&#8221; and &#8220;madness of crowds,&#8221; warning that the losses when the bubble pops will be &#8220;staggering.&#8221;

Meta Arrives At $32 Million Settlement With Australia Over Cambridge Analytica Privacy Breach: Privacy Commissioner Labels It 'Largest Ever Payment'

On Monday, President-elect Donald Trump reportedly met with TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew at Mar-a-Lago, Florida, as the company seeks intervention from the U.S. Supreme Court to prevent a looming ban.
What Happened: TikTok has requested the U.S. Supreme Court to halt a law that could ban the app by Jan. 19.
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, the TikTok Policy account said that the Supreme Court has a strong history of protecting Americans&#8217; right to free speech.
&#8220;We are asking the Court to do what it has traditionally done in free speech cases: apply the most rigorous scrutiny to speech bans and conclude that it violates the First Amendment.&#8221;
The post also highlighted the potential economic impact, estimating significant revenue losses for small businesses and creators if the app is banned.

On the same day, Trump, who previously attempted to ban TikTok during his presidency, expressed a favorable view of the app, noting its popularity among young voters.
&#8220;We'll take a look at TikTok,&#8221; he said, adding, &#8220;You know, I have a warm spot in my heart for TikTok.&#8221; His meeting with the TikTok CEO was <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/16/tiktok-asks-supreme-court-to-block-us-ban-pending-appeal.html">confirmed</a> by NBC News.

Leading cryptocurrencies simmered down Monday after a smashing rally even as speculations around a U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve gathered steam.

What Happened: The world&#8217;s largest cryptocurrency broke beyond $107,000 for the first time this afternoon before profit-taking brought it back to $105,000, with a modest increase to $106,000 by evening.
The sentiment was upbeat following reports that President-elect Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42505162/trump-reportedly-considering-executive-order-to-establish-strategic-bitcoin-reserve">might pass an executive order</a> to create a national Bitcoin stockpile.
Bitcoin was already up 9.11% in December, higher than the historical <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/today">average </a>of 5.75%, per Coinglass data.
A similar pattern followed for Ethereum, which failed to decisively break over $4,000 and fell to the upper $3,900 range.
In the past 24 hours, 119,098 traders were liquidated, with the total liquidations at $371.44 million. Longs accounted for 60% of the liquidations.
Over 61% of traders on Binance with open Bitcoin futures positions were short, as per the Long/Short Ratio, suggesting expectations of a pullback.
A rally to $110,000 would wipe out over $500 million worth of short positions, data showed.&nbsp;
The bearish positioning could be due to the "Extreme Greed" sentiment in the market, per the Cryptocurrency Fear &amp; Greed Index.

The global cryptocurrency market capitalization stood at $3.71 trillion, following a marginal increase of 0.11% over the last 24 hours.
Stocks were a mixed bag on Monday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell for the eighth consecutive day, dropping 110.58 points, or 0.25%, to close at 43,717.48. The S&amp;P 500 rose 0.38% to 6,074.08, while the Nasdaq Composite surged 1.24% to close at a record high of 20,173.89.
The tech surge was powered by the "Mag 7" stocks, as Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) notched their all-time highs during the session.
The rally came just ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee's two-day meeting to decide on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42514008/fed-poised-to-cut-interest-rates-by-0-25-this-week-heres-why-your-focus-should-shift-to-other-signals">benchmark interest rates</a>.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Settle Down Amid Growing Talks Of A Strategic BTC Reserve: Top Analyst Sees Prospect Of Apex Crypto Hitting $110K This Week

Jim Cramer cautioned investors about Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) on Monday, predicting a potential market correction for the semiconductor giant that has seen its value surge 174% this year.
What Happened: &#8220;Still no crescendo moment in Nvidia. It will happen, just not yet&#8230;.the reversal will be vicious though&#8230;.and fast,&#8221; CNBC&#8217;s Cramer wrote on X, formerly Twitter, as the stock declined 1.68% to close at $132.00.

The warning comes as Nvidia faces heightened scrutiny in China, where authorities launched an antitrust investigation last week into the company&#8217;s 2020 acquisition of Mellanox Technologies. 
The probe examines <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/12/42404352/nvidia-china-antitrust-probe-may-remain-unsolved-in-near-term-says-top-analyst-investors-should-be-prepared-for-increased-scrutiny">potential anti-competitive practices</a>, including whether Nvidia limits competition by bundling its AI chips with Mellanox&#8217;s NVLink technology.

Why It Matters: TF Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo expects the investigation to remain unresolved in the near term, drawing parallels to Qualcomm Inc.&#8216;s 15-month <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/12/42404352/nvidia-china-antitrust-probe-may-remain-unsolved-in-near-term-says-top-analyst-investors-should-be-prepared-for-increased-scrutiny">antitrust case in China</a>. 
While China represents only 5% of Nvidia&#8217;s data center revenue, Kuo advised investors to prepare for increased regulatory scrutiny of Nvidia&#8217;s practices, including its CUDA platform.
The investigation emerges as Nvidia maintains its dominance in the AI chip market, recently reporting third-quarter revenue of $35.1 billion, a 94% year-over-year increase. With a market capitalization of $3.21 trillion, Nvidia stands as one of the world&#8217;s most valuable companies, trading at a price-to-earnings ratio of 53.
Wall Street maintains a bullish outlook, with 40 analysts setting an average price target of $170.56. Rosenblatt Securities leads with the highest target of $220, while New Street Research projects a low of $120, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NVDA/analyst-ratings">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Jim Cramer Warns Nvidia's 'Vicious' And 'Fast' Reversal Is Coming Amid 174% Surge This Year And China Antitrust Probe

The Dow Jones ended Monday down 0.25%, while the Nasdaq climbed 1.2% to finish in the green. The S&amp;P 500 also posted gains, rising nearly 0.4%. The S&amp;P 500 also ended in positive territory gaining almost 0.4%. The Fed was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42514008/fed-poised-to-cut-interest-rates-by-0-25-this-week-heres-why-your-focus-should-shift-to-other-signals">expected to cut rates by 25 basis points</a> on Wednesday, marking its third consecutive reduction, but recent inflation data complicated its future policy path. Traders braced for hawkish signals from updated projections, with a slower pace of rate cuts and upward revisions likely, potentially impacting growth, jobs, and markets.
These are the top stocks that gained the attention of retail traders and investors throughout the day:

Trading Halt: Halted at 7:50:00 p.m. ET - Trading Halt: Halt News Pending

A New York judge has confirmed the guilty verdict in the hush money case involving President-elect Donald Trump, despite ongoing discussions about presidential immunity.
What Happened: Judge Juan Merchan endorsed the jury&#8217;s decision on Thursday, marking Trump as a felon. This ruling follows Trump&#8217;s recent electoral triumph over Vice President Kamala Harris. The judge has not yet made a decision on Trump&#8217;s request to dismiss the case entirely, given his president-elect status, <a href="https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/5043247-trump-hush-money-conviction-uphold/">reported</a> The Hill.
Trump&#8217;s legal team maintained that the evidence presented during his seven-week trial was shielded by the Supreme Court&#8217;s presidential immunity doctrine. This doctrine asserts that former presidents have total&nbsp;immunity from criminal prosecution for&nbsp;exercising core constitutional powers and&nbsp;presumptive immunity for other official&nbsp;acts.
Manhattan District Attorney&nbsp;Alvin Bragg&nbsp;refuted these claims, stating that no evidence presented to the jury was protected. He further contended that&nbsp;even if it was, it&nbsp;was inconsequential compared to the &#8220;overwhelming evidence of defendant&#8217;s guilt.&#8221;
Trump was found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a $130,000 hush money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election. Prosecutors portrayed this as an attempt to unlawfully influence the election&#8217;s outcome.
The judge&#8217;s decision on whether to halt the proceedings during Trump&#8217;s term is still pending. Meanwhile, Trump&#8217;s other criminal proceedings have not been as successful following his presidential win.

Why It Matters: The Supreme Court had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/07/39577351/trump-granted-partial-immunity-by-supreme-court-ruling-says-the-president-is-not-above-the-law-d">previously ruled</a> that Trump and former presidents are entitled to immunity for acts within their Constitutional authority while in office, but not unofficial acts.

Trump's Hush Money Conviction Upheld Amid Presidential Immunity Controversy — Alvin Bragg Says 'Overwhelming' Evidence Of Guilt

Billionaire Elon Musk has watched his wealth soar this year, especially after the 2024 presidential election, thanks to soaring valuations for SpaceX and Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), two companies that could benefit from the next <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/24/12/42444955/elon-musk-first-person-worth-400-billion-as-tesla-stock-hits-new-all-time-highs-how-2024-election-helped-could-lead-to-future-gains">White House administration.</a>
What Happened: Musk added $226 billion to his wealth in 2024, with the majority of gains happening after Donald Trump won <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/41813356/elon-musks-net-worth-soars-by-26-5-billion-in-single-day-after-tesla-stock-surges-post-trump-vic">the 2024 election.</a>
Musk endorsed Trump in the 2024 election, donated to his campaign, and even campaigned for him in the key swing state of Pennsylvania. The efforts paid off for Musk's wealth, which stands at $455 billion at the time of writing, as reported by <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/">Bloomberg</a>.
With Musk reaching the historic $400 billion wealth milestone, he has more money than the valuation of every single Major League Baseball, National Basketball Association, National Football League and National Hockey League team combined.
Forbes shows the New York Yankees as the highest-valued <a href="https://www.forbes.com/lists/mlb-valuations/">MLB </a>team at $7.55 billion and the average team worth $2.4 billion.
<a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/justinteitelbaum/2024/10/24/the-most-valuable-nba-teams-2024/">NBA </a>teams have an average value of $4.4 billion, led by the Golden State Warriors at $8.8 billion and every team worth at least $3 billion. The New York Knicks, which are owned by publicly traded Madison Square Garden Sports Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSGS#NYSE">MSGS</a>), rank second with a valuation of $7.5 billion, as reported by Forbes.
The <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/justinteitelbaum/2024/08/29/the-nfls-most-valuable-teams-2024/">NFL </a>teams have the highest valuation with the Dallas Cowboys ranking first at $10.1 billion, the first team valued at more than $10 billion. The lowest team is worth $4.1 billion and the average sits at $5.7 billion.
<a href="https://www.forbes.com/lists/nhl-valuations/">NHL </a>teams rank last of the four major North American sports leagues with an average team valuation of $1.33 billion. The highest-ranked team is the Toronto Maple Leafs valued at $2.8 billion and the lowest team ranked at $500 million. The New York Rangers, who are also owned by Madison Square Garden Sports, rank second at $2.65 billion.
Here are the total amounts across the leagues:
<ul>
<li>MLB: $73.66 billion</li>
<li>NBA: $135.50 billion</li>
<li>NFL: $181.95 billion</li>
<li>NHL: $42.46 billion</li>
<li>Total: $433.57 billion</li>
</ul>
Based on the current team valuations of the teams, Musk could buy all the teams for $433.57 billion and still have $21.43 billion left over.
You may not be a billionaire like Mark Cuban, but you can uncover hidden gems in the stock market using our proprietary data and pattern recognition — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/12/42490690/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet">check out five stocks flying under the radar that deserve your attention.</a>
Why It's Important: This valuation exercise is of course hypothetical as no one can own multiple teams in any sport and there are also rules in place across some leagues for ownership of teams in other leagues.
That means Tesla shareholders can breathe a sigh of relief. While Musk is worth $455 billion, the majority of his wealth comes from ownership stakes in the companies he leads, including SpaceX and Tesla.
To fund a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/04/31810229/elon-musk-bought-twitter-1-year-ago-a-look-back-at-whats-happened-since-and-what-could-be-next">$44 billion buyout </a>of Twitter, which is now known as X, Musk had to sell portions of his Tesla stock. The move, known to analysts and investors as the Twitter overhang, led to Tesla shares trading down as worries of more sales continued to beat shares down during the buyout process.
Musk also has not expressed interest in owning a sports team in MLB, NBA, NFL or the NHL over the years. The world's richest man<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/02/30909752/wait-is-elon-musk-considering-a-manchester-united-bid-after-all"> did joke about buying</a> publicly traded soccer team Manchester United (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MANU#NYSE">MANU</a>) previously, but nothing came of the comments.
Billionaires have bought sports teams over the years. Others have become billionaires thanks to their ownership of professional sports teams. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/08/40607642/jeff-bezos-could-have-competition-if-he-wants-the-nfls-seattle-seahawks-private-equity-investments">reported to have an interest </a>in owning an NFL team in the future.
Sports teams have seen values rise over the years thanks to increased ticket prices, advertising opportunities and huge media rights deals.
While Musk&#8217;s wealth is already up significantly in 2024, it could increase further in the coming years. Musk could benefit from the new White House administration, which could eliminate EV tax credits that would hurt Tesla competitors.
There is also optimism that the new administration&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42046316/trump-set-to-hand-musk-golden-path-for-tesla-after-reversing-course-on-autonomous-vehicle-ban" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">could support regulation</a>&nbsp;for self-driving vehicles such as the Tesla robotaxi, reversing course on Trump&#8217;s<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/10/41298125/maybe-musk-missed-the-memo-trumps-plan-to-ban-autonomous-vehicles-could-sour-friendship" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;previous plan to ban&nbsp;</a>autonomous vehicles.
One item that could dent Musk&#8217;s wealth is the pending case against his 2018 Tesla pay compensation plan. A Delaware judge&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/12/42279851/elon-musk-56b-pay-package-rejected-by-judge-again-tesla-analyst-says-a-soap-opera-playing-out-in-delaware" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">struck down the plan again</a>, despite shareholder approval, but Tesla said it will appeal the decision. Without the pay package, Musk would still be the world&#8217;s richest person, but not at such a high level.

Elon Musk Is So Rich He Could Buy Every MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL Team And Still Have Cash Left Over

University of Colorado football star Travis Hunter took home the Heisman Trophy Saturday night, adding to his rare pathway to the NFL that included turning down Division I schools to play for Deion Sanders at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/12/24631543/how-deion-sanders-and-the-nations-top-high-school-recruit-are-shaking-up-college-football">Football Championship Subdivision school Jackson State University.</a>
What Happened: With Hunter a Heisman Trophy winner and a rare two-way threat playing both cornerback and wide receiver, attention will now shift to how high he could get drafted in the 2025 NFL Draft and if he can break a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting/24/04/38501129/2024-nfl-draft-recap-quarterbacks-wide-receivers-detroit-set-records-who-will-win-rookie-o"> recent string of preference</a> to take quarterbacks first overall.
In the 2024 NFL Draft, six quarterbacks were selected in the first round setting records for the position. Among the draft picks were quarterbacks Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels at first and second overall, who won the Heisman Trophy in 2022 and 2023, respectively.
Here are the most recent Heisman Trophy winners and their NFL Draft positions:
<ul>
<li>2023: Jayden Daniels, Quarterback, 2nd overall</li>
<li>2022: Caleb Williams, Quarterback, 1st overall</li>
<li>2021: Bryce Young, Quarterback, 1st overall</li>
<li>2020: DeVonta Smith, Wide receiver: 10th overall</li>
<li>2019: Joe Burrow, Quarterback, 1st overall</li>
<li>2018: Kyler Murray, Quarterback, 1st overall</li>
<li>2017: Baker Mayfield, Quarterback, 1st overall</li>
<li>2016: Lamar Jackson, Quarterback, 32nd overall</li>
<li>2015: Derrick Henry, Running back, 45th overall</li>
<li>2014: Marcus Mariota, Quarterback, 2nd overall</li>
<li>2013: Jameis Winston, Quarterback, 1st overall</li>
</ul>
The list shows the Heisman Trophy is often won by a quarterback with the position taking home the honors in nine of the past 11 years. In the past 11 years, six of the Heisman Trophy winners have gone first overall in a future NFL Draft.
No non-quarterback Heisman Trophy winner has gone first overall in the NFL Draft since running back Bo Jackson in 1985, according to the <a href="https://www.ncaa.com/news/football/article/2024-04-25/every-heisman-winner-be-selected-no-1-overall-nfl-draft">NCAA</a>. Of the 25 Heisman Trophy winners who have gone first overall, all have been listed as a quarterback, running back or tight end. 
Also keep in mind that the last time a wide receiver went first overall was 1996 and the last time a defensive back went first overall was 1956, with a preference for quarterbacks, defensive ends and offensive linemen in recent years.
Hunter as a wide receiver and cornerback would set some new firsts if he goes first overall. This could be why he's the current second favorite on sportsbook DraftKings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKNG#NASDAQ">DKNG</a>) to go first overall at odds of +350. Listed ahead of Hunter is his teammate, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders at odds of -120.
Trailing the two Colorado teammates is Miami quarterback Cam Ward, who was also a Heisman Trophy finalist, at odds of +400. No other player has odds lower than +2500. This means these three are the high favorites of going first overall, but right now it could be anyone's game of who will go first overall and likely will depend on which team secures the first overall pick.

This Is How Much EA Sports Offers College Football Players For Their Likeness</a>
What's Next: One of the big questions for whoever drafts Hunter will be which position they want him to play in the NFL or if he will play both. During this season, Hunter <a href="https://x.com/PFF_College/status/1866945539801223417">had </a>709 offensive snaps and 713 defensive snaps, averaging 118 per game, significantly higher than anyone else in NCAA Football Division I.
Fox Sports analyst Jay Glazer <a href="https://x.com/JayGlazer/status/1868731686932078974">said </a>Sunday that he polled 13 NFL coaches and GMs asking about Hunter, with 12 saying they would play the Heisman winner primarily at CB with some offensive packages. The lone person who said wide receiver said the elite ball skills made the position the one Hunter should play. The 12 who picked cornerback also acknowledged elite ball skills and said a shutdown cornerback is harder to find.
The 2025 NFL Draft will be held in Green Bay, Wisconsin, with the first round happening on April 24 with Walt Disney Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) airing coverage on ABC and ESPN.
Colorado takes on Brigham Young University in the Alamo Bowl on Dec. 28 at 7:30 p.m. in a game that will air on ABC. Hunter indicated Monday that he plans to play in the game. Some players leaving for college sit out bowl games. This would mean NFL scouts, coaches and general managers could get another look at the rare two-way star ahead of the NFL Draft.
Hunter going high in the NFL Draft and succeeding at the next level could be big for Adidas AG &#8211; ADR (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADDYY#OTC">ADDYY</a>), which <a href="https://news.adidas.com/american-football/adidas-welcomes-collegiate-superstar-travis-hunter-to-the-three-stripes--expanding-its-next-gen-athl/s/a02057f4-e796-426e-84c7-ac2ae40dfc66">signed </a>the NCAA star to its growing roster of NFL players.

Jeff Bezos, owner of the Washington Post and founder of Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), told a group at The New York Times DealBook Summit in early December that he likes meetings to be "messy" so that he can be part of the "sausage-making" process. 
The Details: Bezos, well-known as the world's second richest person, is also notable for his strong opinions on how business meetings should be run. 
Bezos discouraged PowerPoint presentations at Amazon's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/09/41107170/jeff-bezos-used-this-method-to-get-true-opinions-from-employees-amazon-founder-says-youre-the-b">internal meetings</a> and set standards for meetings to seek the truth rather than to appeal or please the executives.

&#8220;You don&#8217;t want the whole thing to be figured out and presented to you,&#8221; he said, according to a Business Insider <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/jeff-bezos-messy-meetings-amazon-founder-achieve-more-2024-12">report</a>.&nbsp;
Bezos likes to begin meetings with a 30-minute window for participants to read through a detailed memo that outlines the background information and then open a "messy" discussion.&nbsp;
&#8220;I like the memos to be like angels singing from on high, so clear and beautiful, and then the meeting can be messy," he told The New York Times.&nbsp;
&#8220;Show me the ugly bits. I always ask, are there any dissenting opinions on the team? I want to try to get to the controversy,&#8221; Bezos said.
More Of Bezos' Style: Lauren Sanchez, Bezos' girlfriend, told the Wall Street Journal that he advised her not to be the first to speak in a meeting.&nbsp;
"No, no, no. You&#8217;re the boss. You talk last. You let everyone else talk, so that they don&#8217;t get swayed by your opinion,&#8221; Sánchez shared in the interview.
The Amazon founder is also known for his "Two Pizza Rule" which states that meetings should have no more participants than can be fed with two large pizzas.&nbsp;

Here's How Much $100 Invested In Dynatrace 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

Canadian Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland resigned Monday, citing disagreements with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42475000/if-trump-starts-a-trade-war-canada-could-impose-export-taxes-on-oil-uranium-report">anticipated U.S. tariffs.</a>
What Happened? Freeland, who also held the position of Deputy Prime Minister, resigned hours before she was due to deliver an economic update to the parliament. In a letter to Trudeau, Freeland <a href="https://x.com/cafreeland/status/1868659332285702167">noted</a> she made this decision after his suggestion to take a different position within his Cabinet.
She also reflected on President-elect Donald Trump's proposed 25% tariffs.
"We need to take that threat extremely seriously. That means keeping our fiscal powder dry today, so we have the reserves we may need for a coming tariff war," she wrote.
Freeland, a veteran journalist and a key member of Trudeau's cabinet since 2015 has held multiple high-profile roles, including Minister of Foreign Affairs. Interestingly, her predecessor, Bill Morneau, resigned over a fallout with Trudeau in 2020 as they clashed over issues with COVID-19-related income support programs.
Meanwhile, Housing Minister Sean Fraser will not seek re-election in Nova Scotia and will leave the federal cabinet during the next shuffle, <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/9.6593309">per</a> CBC News. The shuffle, which could happen as early as Wednesday, could see former Bank of Canada and Bank of England governor Mark Carney joining the cabinet.&nbsp;
Why It Matters? Freeland's departure signals further weakening of Trudeau's government ahead of the election year.
As a widely respected figure, she was critical in securing Canada's trade interests and the architect of Canada's response to the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement renegotiation during Trump's first term. With Freeland's exit, Trudeau loses a highly skilled negotiator at a pivotal time in international trade relations and domestic economic challenges.
Trudeau maintains the stance that imposing tariffs would hurt both sides.
"Let's not kid ourselves in any way, shape or form, 25% tariffs on everything going to the United States would be devastating for the Canadian economy," Trudeau said <a href="https://apnews.com/article/canada-trudeau-us-trump-tariffs-f23417b8f6671adf6b4c908be630615f">per</a> AP News, clarifying how tariffs on Canadian energy and various commodity exports would make life more expensive in the U.S.
Between November 2023 and October 2024, Canada exported over C$172 billion ($120.74 billion) worth of energy products to the U.S. and C$80.4 billion ($56.44 billion) worth of motor vehicles and parts. Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) and General Motors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) have notable operations in Canada, as do foreign manufacturers like Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Honda, and Toyota.
The internal crisis has driven down the Liberal Party's popularity. Polls <a href="https://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/elections/poll-tracker/canada/">show</a> Trudeau's government trails significantly behind the Conservative Party, with the next federal election due by October 2025.
Market Reaction: USD/CAD rose 0.11% for the day, closing the trading session at 1.4241. Since Donald Trump&#8217;s re-election, the pair rose around 3%.
