In a world where hunger kills more people each year than malaria, tuberculosis and AIDS combined, Elon Musk's bold proposition in October 2021 sparked an unusual yet critical conversation.&nbsp;
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/39668044/labor-economist-says-if-elon-musk-paid-for-social-security-on-his-salary-for-an-entire-year-it-w">tech billionaire, known for electrifying industries</a> and aiming for Mars, turned his attention back to Earth when David Beasley, head of the UN's World Food Programme (WFP), pleaded for billionaires to step up now "on a one-time basis."
Beasley declared on CNN that "$6 billion to help 42 million people that are literally going to die if we don't reach them. It's not complicated."&nbsp;

Musk, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/12/42496960/elon-musk-tried-to-create-a-new-intergalactic-media-empire-called-thud-he-offered-2-million-to-onion-editors-and-poached-staff-away">never one to shy away</a> from a public challenge, fired back on X (formerly Twitter): "If WFP can describe on this Twitter thread exactly how $6B will solve world hunger, I will sell Tesla stock right now and do it."

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
The audacious response was classic Musk – direct and laced with a demand for transparency. He stipulated that the WFP's plan must include open-source accounting, ensuring the world could scrutinize every dollar.&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>
In a separate post on X, tagging Musk, Beasley clarified that while the funds wouldn't end hunger entirely, they could prevent famine for millions on the brink of starvation. Rising to Musk's challenge, the WFP presented a comprehensive plan to use $6.6 billion to provide urgent relief to 42 million people across 43 nations.
In the document shared by Beasley, the WFP explained exactly how the money would be allocated. The largest portion –$3.5 billion – was designated for purchasing and delivering food directly to those in need. Another $2 billion was set aside for cash and food vouchers, including transaction fees, to be distributed in areas where local markets could still function.
To ensure the aid was effective, $700 million would go toward managing new food programs tailored to each country&#8217;s unique conditions, prioritizing the most vulnerable populations. To maintain transparency and efficiency, the final $400 million was earmarked for operations management, administration, accountability and supply chain coordination.
Trending: Many are using retirement income calculators to check if they&#8217;re on pace —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"> here&#8217;s a breakdown on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</a>
"The world is on fire," Beasley wrote on X, emphasizing the urgency of the situation and the need for swift, decisive action to combat the growing crisis.
While Musk didn't directly donate $6 billion to the WFP but he contributed $5.7 billion in Tesla stock to his Musk Foundation later that year. According to reports, the exact allocation of these funds remains opaque, leaving critics and supporters alike to speculate on their impact. Meanwhile, the hunger crisis deepened.&nbsp;
According to The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2024 report, 733 million people – roughly one in eleven globally – face hunger. This number has hovered at alarming levels for three years straight, highlighting the scale of the challenge. Despite billions in aid and efforts from governments and NGOs, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42531924/elon-musk-had-a-food-budget-of-30-a-month-his-diet-was-mostly-hot-dogs-and-oranges-in-america-its-pretty-easy-to-keep-yourself-alive">systemic issues fueling hunger</a> remain deeply entrenched.
Although Beasley may think billionaires are the ticket to solving the crisis, the reality is far more complex. While billionaires like Musk can make significant contributions, world hunger isn't a problem money alone can solve. The crisis stems from a tangled web of causes – conflict, climate change, economic inequality and broken supply chains – that demand systemic solutions.&nbsp;

Elon Musk Told The U.N. 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'

In the current market session, Cintas Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CTAS#NASDAQ">CTAS</a>) share price is at $186.43, after a 1.99% spike. Moreover, over the past month, the stock fell by 15.93%, but in the past year, went up by 23.79%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session.

<h3>Cintas P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Cintas has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 44.59 of the Commercial Services &amp; Supplies industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1734726613_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

A Look Into Cintas Inc's Price Over Earnings

Streaming giant Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) landed the U.S. media rights to the 2027 and 2031 Women's World Cup adding to its recent push into live sports, set to be front and center with two NFL games <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/12/42354185/nfl-games-set-thanksgiving-day-records-why-this-is-good-and-bad-news-for-streaming-giant-netflix">on Christmas Day.</a>
What Happened: For years, Netflix has been a streaming platform <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/22/03/26401426/after-formula-one-success-netflix-is-filming-a-docuseries-on-this-sport">for sports documentaries</a> that avoided live sporting content.
In recent years, the company dipped its toes in live content with comedy specials, a roast of Tom Brady and some one-off sporting events. Things escalated in 2024 with the live boxing event that featured Jake Paul and Mike Tyson.
Netflix is now adding one of the largest sporting events in the world to its library of live sports content <a href="https://inside.fifa.com/about-fifa/commercial/media-releases/fifa-netflix-historic-broadcast-deal-2027-2031-womens-world-cup">announcing </a>the "landmark media rights deal" for the 2027 and 2031 FIFA Women's World Cups rights for the U.S. and Puerto Rico across all languages.
Netflix will also produce an exclusive documentary series on women's soccer for both World Cups.
"I've seen the fandom for the FIFA Women's World Cup grow tremendously — from the electric atmosphere in France in 2019 to, most recently, the incredible energy we saw across Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand last year," Netflix Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria said.
The 2027 Women's World Cup, which will be held in Brazil, takes place from June 24 through July 25 with 32 teams competing for the championship. The 2031 Women's World Cup host nation has not been decided yet.

Why It's Important: Netflix isn't new to soccer having made several documentaries about soccer teams and figures including David Beckham, Neymar, Boca Juniors and the "Under Pressure: The U.S. Women's World Cup Team" series on the 2023 U.S. Women's team.
The strategy of sports documentaries and one-off events appears to be escalating with new media rights deals.
"We're super excited about the success of our sports-adjacent programming," Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/07/33308114/netflix-doesnt-want-to-live-sports-and-chill-were-happy-with-sports-adjacent-programming-ce">said last year.</a>
Sarandos said at the time that Netflix didn't need to get into "live sports licensing" at the time.
"We aren't anti-sports, we're pro-profit," Sarandos said last January.
The Paul vs. Tyson boxing match may have really kick-started plans for more live sports with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/12/42492251/netflix-ceo-says-paul-tyson-fight-really-phenomenal-strong-demand-for-nfl-game-advertising">huge viewership figures</a> and Sarandos recently saying Netflix may have left money on the table for advertising during the boxing match.
&#8220;If we knew the audience would be that big, we probably would have done a lot more selling on that fight," Sarandos said.
The NFL Christmas Day games have seen huge advertising demand and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/12/42512587/netflix-analyst-say-its-only-investable-media-stock-projects-150-million-nfl-christmas-day-boost">one analyst predicts</a> that Netflix might make as much from advertising as it paid for the media rights, making it a free way to try and grab new subscribers.
Sarandos hinted recently at doing more "big-scale live events" and doing them more frequently. Whether this meant the Women's World Cup could remain a mystery.
For Netflix, live sports events offer a way to gain subscribers and diversify its content. The events also allow the company to grow its advertising revenue with the ad-supported plans a growing focus.
The U.S. Women's soccer team won World Cups in 1991, 1999, 2015 and 2019 and is one of the top countries in the tournament of all time. An early exit in the 2023 tournament saw the team go home in the knockout rounds with a loss to Sweden decided in penalty kicks after a 0-0 tie.
Despite the early exit, U.S. media rights partner Fox Corporation (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>) saw strong viewership. A group stage matchup against the Netherlands had 6.4 million average viewers, setting new records for a group stage match as reported by <a href="https://deadline.com/2023/08/2023-womens-world-cup-record-ratings-us-markets-fox-telemundo-peacock-1235523315/">Deadline</a>.
The knockout game with Sweden, which aired at 5 a.m. ETT in the U.S. averaged 2.5 million viewers despite the early airing. The four U.S. games averaged 3.8 million viewers, up 2% from the 2019 Women's World Cup U.S. games, but with major time zone difficulties at play. The team's final group match aired at 3 a.m. ET and had 1.3 million viewers.
With the next Women's World Cup in Brazil, Netflix should benefit from time zones that make the matches more in-line with American viewership.
Fox currently has the U.S. media rights to the Men's World Cup through 2026, which could set the Men's World Cup up for an intense round of bidders soon. Fox has rights to several other major soccer tournaments and will likely push hard to retain the Men's World Cup, especially after losing the Women's tournaments to Netflix.
Netflix begins broadcasting WWE events in January as part of an agreement with the company&#8217;s owner TKO Group Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TKO#NYSE">TKO</a>). Sarandos said WWE fits into the mold of a younger audience and treats sporting contests like big events.
NFLX Price Action: Netflix stock trades at $911.70 on Friday versus a 52-week trading range of $461.86 to $941.75. Netflix stock is up 96% year-to-date in 2024.

Benzinga readers pick which Magnificent 7 stock could have the best performance if there is a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/santa-claus-rally"> Santa Claus rally</a> to close 2024 and kickstart 2025.
What Happened: The majority of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/magnificent-seven">Magnificent 7 stocks </a>have outperformed the S&amp;P 500 year-to-date in 2024. With a limited number of trading days left to close out the year, one last question on the mind of investors is whether there will be a Santa Claus rally.
The term &#8220;Santa Claus rally&#8221; was first used by Yale Hirsch in 1972 in the Stock Trader's Almanac. The term is associated with the last five trading days of a year and the first two days of the following year.
Check This Out: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/12/42625025/santa-claus-rally-in-2024-poll-shows-investors-split-on-end-of-year-returns-57-say-this">Santa Claus Rally In 2024? Poll Shows Investors Split On End Of Year Returns, 57% Say This…</a>
Combine the Santa Claus rally potential and the Magnificent 7 outperformance in 2024, and you have the latest Benzinga poll.
"Which Magnificent 7 stock will do the best if there's a Santa Rally?" Benzinga asked.
The results were:
<ul>
<li>NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>): 28%</li>
<li>Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>): 25%</li>
<li>Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>): 17%</li>
<li>Alphabet Inc (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>): 9%</li>
<li>Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>): 9%</li>
<li>Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>): 7%</li>
<li>Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>): 5%</li>
</ul>
Nvidia was the winner of the poll with more than one-fourth of the vote, which comes as the stock is the top performer among the Mag 7 stocks for year-to-date and five-year gains. Trailing Nvidia was Tesla, with exactly one-fourth of the vote.
Amazon also received a double-digit percentage ranking third at 17%. The other Mag 7 stocks had much smaller percentages in the poll.

Why It's Important: The expectation for a Santa Claus Rally comes with major stock market indexes enjoying a strong 2024 and could add to their year-to-date gains.
Here are the current year-to-date returns of three of the largest market index ETFs.
<ul>
<li>SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>): +23.8%</li>
<li>Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>): +28.1%</li>
<li>SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>): +12.7%</li>
</ul>
For comparison, here are the year-to-date returns of the Magnificent 7 stocks:
<ul>
<li>Nvidia: +177.8%</li>
<li>Tesla: +77.4%</li>
<li>Meta Platforms: +72.9%</li>
<li>Amazon: +49.8%</li>
<li>Alphabet: +38.3%</li>
<li>Apple: +35.8%</li>
<li>Microsoft: +18.7%</li>
</ul>
Nvidia has significantly outperformed the S&amp;P 500 and other major indexes and also the other Magnificent 7 stocks. The Benzinga poll shows that readers think Nvidia could go out on a high note in 2024 and kick 2025 off with a bang if there is a Santa Claus rally.
Only Microsoft trails the S&amp;P 500 and Invesco QQQ Trust year-to-date returns in 2024, showing the strength of the Magnificent 7 stocks this year. 
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/42121665/could-another-magnificent-7-stock-beat-nvidia-in-2025-poll-says-not-likely-27-pick-this-potential-winner">A recent Benzinga poll</a> asked if any Magnificent 7 stocks could beat Nvidia for stock returns in 2025. The results were:
<ul>
<li>None – Nvidia will dominate: 48%</li>
<li>Tesla: 27%</li>
<li>Amazon: 8%</li>
<li>Meta: 7%</li>
<li>Alphabet: 6%</li>
<li>Microsoft: 3%</li>
<li>Apple: 2%</li>
</ul>
The poll found the near-majority predicting Nvidia will have the strongest growth in 2025 and dominate the Magnificent 7 stocks once again.
Based on the recent polls, Benzinga readers don't expect the gains for Nvidia to stop anytime soon and a Santa Claus rally could accelerate the company's potential 2025 gains.

</ul>
The study was conducted by Benzinga from Dec. 18 through Dec. 19, 2024, and 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 169 adults.

This Is What Whales Are Betting On Carvana

NBT Bancorp Receives Regulatory Approval To Complete The Merger With Evans Bancorp, Shareholders Approve Merger

Elon Musk's role in the political dynamics of President-elect Donald Trump's team took center stage during this week's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42624528/government-shutdown-stocks-wobble-paychecks-delayed-holiday-travel-could-change-heres-what-you-need-to-know">government shutdown drama</a> as the billionaire's often scathing criticism of a bipartisan spending bill unleashed a wave of chaos on Capitol Hill.
Musk's social media posts, which by some accounts exceeded hundreds, depict his influence over GOP lawmakers and highlighted the outsized role he now plays and will likely continue to play in Trump's administration.
Republicans were not happy with the proposed version of the spending bill, though House Speaker Mike Johnson "believed that he could get enough Republicans to join most Democrats&#8221; to pass the bill and avert a shutdown, Russell Berman <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2024/12/elon-musk-x-congress-shutown/681120/">noted</a> in The Atlantic. It turns out, though, that the person he really needed to persuade was Musk.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Here's How It Rolled Out This Week</h2>
On Wednesday, Musk took to cyberspace lambasting the spending bill on X, calling it "criminal" and urging his 170 million followers to pressure Congress. His posts, which triggered strong reaction among House Republicans, were replete with threats. "Any member of the House or Senate who votes for this outrageous spending bill deserves to be voted out in two years!"
Johnson <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/video/6366181582112">told</a> Fox &amp; Friends Wednesday that he'd been in direct communication with Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, attempting to explain the bill's nuances. Lobbying the two unelected billionaires, who are Trump &#8216;s picks to trim government waste, went on until the wee hours. Johnson admitted to Fox that he didn't get anywhere with the two.
Following Musk's tweets badgering House members, he also told his followers to call their representatives: "They are trying to get this passed today while no one is paying attention,&#8221; Musk warned.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bernie Sanders Speaks Out: &#8216;President Elon Musk&#8217;</h2>
Sanders responded with a Wednesday tweet of his own, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/12/19/co-president-elon-musk-trump-ally-tests-influence-spending-fight/">noted</a> the Washington Post. &#8220;Democrats and Republicans spent months negotiating a bipartisan agreement to fund our government. The richest man on Earth, President Elon Musk, doesn&#8217;t like it. Will Republicans kiss the ring? Billionaires must not be allowed to run our government.&#8221;
Axios' Mike Allen <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/12/19/behind-the-curtain-musks-america">called</a> Musk "arguably the most powerful person in business, the most powerful man in media and, at least at this moment, the most powerful man in politics."
GOP lawmakers, already uneasy about the bill, folded under the pressure of Musk's threats, demonstrating what Allen referred to as the "new playbook" for conservative influence: direct, real-time social media lobbying.
"This much power, across this many pillars of society, is without precedent. Musk yesterday single-handedly, his voice amplified by his day-long bombardment of scores of tweets on his X platform, sank a 1,547-page, bipartisan House spending bill aimed at preventing a government shutdown on 12:01 AM Saturday," wrote Allen.

Analyst Expectations For Pagaya Techs's Future

Did a series of unfortunate events cause funnyman Jim Carrey to finally sell his LA home of 30 years by taking a drop of $10 million from his original asking price? The 10,954-square-foot house in Brentwood went into contract with an asking price of $19.75 million, down from $28.9 million a year ago.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Claims To Need Cash</h2>
Carrey had stated in 2022 that he was quitting acting after starring in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/04/38174401/paramount-aims-for-sonic-movies-to-reach-avengers-level-status-says-producer">wildly successful</a> &#8220;Sonic the Hedgehog 2,&#8221; but his time off was short-lived. The actor stars in the third installment, which will be released on December 20th. When questioned about the retirement U-turn during the film&#8217;s promotion, Carrey hinted at a cash crunch:

</ul>
&#8220;I came back to this universe because I get to play a genius, which is a bit of a stretch,&#8221;<a href="https://x.com/APEntertainment/status/1866579281045811233?mod=article_inline"> Carrey quipped</a>. &#8220;And you know, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42512179/i-bought-a-lot-of-stuff-jim-carrey-admits-joining-other-stars-returning-to-acting-due-to-money-woes-after-retirement">I bought a lot of stuff</a> and I need the money, frankly.&#8221;
The actor, 62, is reported to have a net worth of $180 million. He previously sold a Malibu home for $13.95 million in 2013 and also owns a home in Maui, which is believed to have been purchased in 2017. It is his primary residence. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Carrey also owns an apartment in New York.
Carrey previously told the New York Post of his recently sold LA home:
&#8220;For three decades, it&#8217;s been a sanctuary for me, but I don&#8217;t spend a lot of time there now and I want someone else to enjoy it like I have.&#8221; Carrey still stands to make a fortune by most people&#8217;s standards from selling his LA home, having purchased it way back in 1994 for $3.8 million.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Nineties Heyday</h2>
Carrey&#8217;s career heyday was during the nineties and early oughts when he was the first actor to earn $20 million for a movie and earned at least $300 million from film salaries and bonuses. Box office hits from that era include The Mask, Dumb and Dumber, The Truman Show, Liar Liar and Bruce Almighty. Despite big up front checks, Carrey also made some savvy financial moves. At the height of his fame, he relinquished a big front-end paycheck for the movie &#8220;Yes Man&#8221; in exchange for being a part owner of the movie. It paid off as the film grossed $223 million worldwide, earning Carrey around $30 million.
Carrey&#8217;s recent return to the big screen comes after a significant downturn in his creative output. He has acted in only a handful of films in the last few years, including Sonic the Hedgehog 3, his only film of 2024. According to the Daily Mail, Carrey&#8217;s luxury car collection and global travel have helped him take a bite out of his fortune, which, coupled with his sporadic film work, has caused his net worth to drop. He wouldn't be the first Hollywood star to fall victim to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41418807/al-pacino-went-broke-after-blowing-50-million-on-16-cars-23-cellphones-and-400k-for-landscaping-">profligate luxury car spending</a>.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A More Meaningful Life</h2>
Carrey&#8217;s decision to step away from Hollywood at 62 may have been motivated by a natural desire to lead a more meaningful life away from the entertainment business.
&#8220;I really like my quiet life and I really like putting paint on canvas and I really love my spiritual life and I feel like – and this is something you might never hear another celebrity say as long as time exists – I have enough. I&#8217;ve done enough. I am enough.&#8221;
Clearly, something changed.
