Lyft Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYFT#NASDAQ">LYFT</a>) filed a lawsuit against San Francisco, accusing the city of overcharging the ride-hailing services company by $100 million in taxes from 2019 to 2023. 
Lyft argues that the city has misclassified the payments made by passengers to drivers as company revenue, which is not how Lyft operates, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-24/lyft-accuses-san-francisco-of-overcharging-100-million-in-taxes">reported</a> Bloomberg on Tuesday. 
According to the company, Lyft generates revenue through fees paid by the drivers, not passenger payments, aligning with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission&#8217;s treatment of driver compensation. 
The dispute highlights ongoing challenges within the gig economy, as companies like Lyft and Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) face scrutiny over their contractor models. Lyft seeks refunds, including penalties and interest, for the overcharged taxes.

Lyft Sues San Francisco Over $100 Million Tax Bill, Says Payments To Drivers By Passengers Misclassified

The Mega Millions jackpot has reached $1 billion for Tuesday&#8217;s Christmas Eve drawing, marking only the seventh time in the game&#8217;s history that the prize has crossed the billion-dollar threshold.
What Happened: The winning numbers drawn on Dec. 24 are 38, 45, 14, 46, and 11, with a Mega Ball of 3 and a 3X Megaplier. The cash option stands at $448.8 million, representing the largest December prize in the game&#8217;s history.
The massive jackpot comes during what has been an unusually quiet year for lottery winners. Only three Mega Millions jackpots have been claimed in 2024, the lowest number of wins since the game&#8217;s inception.
The last winner emerged in Texas on Sep. 10, with 29 consecutive drawings passing without a grand prize winner.

Why It Matters: The odds of winning <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40663658/575-million-mega-millions-jackpot-heres-how-much-you-could-get-after-taxes-in-every-state">remain extraordinarily steep</a> at 1 in 302,575,350. For perspective, the probability of being struck by lightning or encountering a grizzly bear attack in Yellowstone National Park (1 in 3.5 million) is significantly higher.
History shows that massive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/05/39005560/5-lottery-winners-who-wished-they-never-struck-the-jackpot">lottery wins can bring unexpected challenges</a>. Jack Whittaker, who won a $315 million Powerball jackpot on Christmas in 2002, faced numerous personal tragedies and legal disputes following his win. Abraham Shakespeare, who won $17 million in 2006, was murdered three years later by someone who befriended him after his win.
Mega Millions tickets, priced at $2 each, are available in 45 states, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. A win on Christmas Eve would mark only the second time in the game&#8217;s history that a jackpot has been claimed on Dec 24.

While many of the suggestions were geared toward refining existing models, one recurring request stood out: significant upgrades to OpenAI's Sora <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42501018/marc-andreessen-praises-openais-sora-video-model-we-may-have-basically-just-solved-the-fundamental-challenge-of-robotics">video model</a>.

Other highly requested features included a stronger 4o replacement, seamless integrations of GPT, reasoning models, and Sora into ChatGPT, and improvements in context length and knowledge updates.
Family accounts with parental controls also made the list, with one user suggesting the ability to create accounts for their children with certain restrictions. Altman responded favorably to this idea, acknowledging the need for a &#8220;grown-up mode.&#8221;

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman Crowdsources 2025 Goals — Sora Upgrades Top User Wishlist

As retail giants Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) enter the crucial holiday shopping season, their diverging growth trajectories and profitability models paint a compelling picture for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42148340/black-friday-cyber-monday-deals-on-wall-street-why-buying-walmart-or-amazon-before-the-holidays-might-backfire">investors watching the retail space</a>.
The fourth quarter, encompassing Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Thanksgiving, and Christmas shopping, traditionally represents the most critical period for retailers, often accounting for up to 40% of their annual sales. 
This extended shopping period, which kicks off with Black Friday deals and continues through post-Christmas clearances, has become increasingly competitive as consumers seek both in-store and online bargains, making it a crucial battleground for retail dominance.
Market data shows Amazon&#8217;s remarkable rise, with its $2.365 trillion market capitalization now dwarfing Walmart&#8217;s $740.99 billion. Both companies have delivered strong five-year returns to shareholders, with Amazon up 142.84% and Walmart closely trailing at 140.09%.
The upcoming fourth quarter could mark a historic shift in retail dynamics. According to Forrester analyst Jitender Miglani, Amazon&#8217;s quarterly revenues are projected to surpass Walmart&#8217;s for the first time in Q4 2024, with estimates of $186 billion compared to Walmart&#8217;s expected $180 billion.

Walmart has significantly expanded its digital presence to compete with Amazon&#8217;s online dominance. The company has invested heavily in its e-commerce infrastructure, including the launch of the Walmart+ membership program, expansion of online grocery delivery, and the development of its marketplace platform for third-party sellers. 
The profitability gap between the two retail giants continues to widen. Wall Street analysts project Amazon&#8217;s net income to reach $51 billion in 2024, with an 8% margin, while Walmart is expected to achieve $20 billion with a 3% margin in financial year 2025.
Looking ahead, Forrester forecasts the combined U.S. retail sales of Amazon and Walmart to reach $1.5 trillion by 2029, representing one-fourth of the total U.S. retail market. Their combined e-commerce sales are expected to capture two-thirds of total U.S. online retail sales, reaching $1.1 trillion.
Both companies remain significant employers, with Walmart leading at 2.1 million employees compared to Amazon&#8217;s 1.525 million.

Will Amazon Dethrone Walmart This Holiday Season? Here Is What You Should Know

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) intends to participate in the upcoming U.S. antitrust trial involving Alphabet Inc.'s (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.
What Happened: The move comes as Apple seeks to defend its billion-dollar revenue-sharing agreements with Google, a significant source of income for the tech giant, reported Reuters.
According to court documents filed in Washington on Monday, Apple has no plans to develop its own search engine to compete with Google, irrespective of the continuation of the payments.
Apple said, &#8220;Google can no longer adequately represent Apple's interests: Google must now defend against a broad effort to break up its business units.&#8221;
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42665380/want-500-in-google-store-credit-heres-what-you-need-to-do?itm_source=parsely-api">Want $500 In Google Store Credit? Here&#8217;s What You Need To Do</a>
Apple is preparing to present witnesses at the trial, which is set for April.
The prosecution&#8217;s goal is to prove that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/42105079/googles-unlawful-behavior-stifles-market-entry-for-rivals-doj-says-alphabet-must-sell-chrome-to-end-search-monopoly">Google needs to take several measures</a>, including selling its Chrome web browser and possibly its Android operating system, to reestablish competition in the online search market.
In 2022 alone, Apple&#8217;s agreement with Google brought in an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42083150/googles-20b-search-deal-with-apple-faces-collapse-after-antitrust-ruling-what-it-could-means-for-both-tech-giants">estimated $20 billion</a>.
Alphabet did not immediately respond to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag">Benzinga's</a> request for comments.
Why It Matters: On Dec. 20, Google responded to the proposed remedies in its search distribution case with the DOJ, focusing on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42646134/alphabet-defends-doj-case-new-buyback-likely-from-this-2025-top-pick">non-exclusivity and increased flexibility</a> to limit regulatory overreach.
Last year, Apple&#8217;s Eddy Cue justified the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/09/34946635/apple-defends-its-19b-google-search-deal-even-as-it-laments-its-privacy-policies">billion-dollar deal with Google</a>, citing it as the best available option despite lamenting Google&#8217;s privacy policies.
Price Action: On Tuesday, Alphabet's Class A shares gained 0.76%, closing at $196.11, while Class C shares advanced 0.81%, ending at $197.57, as per <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag">Benzinga Pro data</a>. Apple shares climbed 1.15% during regular trading hours, closing at $258.20, but dipped 0.039% in after-hours trading.

Tesla, Avinger, Jet.Ai, Teva, And Netflix: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Ahead Of Christmas

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) needs to address a &#8220;critical safety issue&#8221; regarding its Full Self-Driving system&#8217;s ability to detect emergency vehicles, according to prominent investor Ross Gerber, CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management.
What Happened: In comments posted on X on Tuesday, Gerber noted that while FSD version 13.2.2 shows improvement over previous iterations, it falls short of full autonomy. He revealed that Tesla is developing audio detection capabilities to identify approaching emergency vehicles, addressing a key limitation in the current system that relies primarily on visual inputs.
&#8220;Tesla now working on adding hearing so it can know when an emergency vehicle is around. Yes humans use more than one sense to drive,&#8221; Gerber wrote, emphasizing the importance of multi-sensory detection in autonomous driving systems.

The development comes as Tesla continues to expand its FSD capabilities. In early December, Tesla began rolling out FSD version 13, which company CEO Elon Musk claimed would enable drivers to travel five to ten times more miles <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/09/40899899/tesla-switches-to-full-self-driving-supervised-for-new-cars-and-the-conspiracy-theories-are-already">autonomously before requiring intervention</a>.
Gerber, who also owns a Cybertruck, observed that the FSD performance in Tesla&#8217;s newest vehicle appears to lag behind other Tesla models. However, he praised Tesla&#8217;s overall software capabilities, noting they remain &#8220;amazingly better than any vehicle,&#8221; while acknowledging improvements from competitors like Rivian Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>).

Tesla Tackling 'Critical Safety Issue' In FSD With Audio Detection For Emergency Vehicles, Says Ross Gerber: 'Humans Use More Than One Sense To Drive'

On Tuesday, Ali, a prominent voice in the crypto community, revealed that whale investors purchased a staggering 270 million Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) in less than four days.
What Happened: On Christmas Eve, Ali took to X to announce the significant investment in Dogecoin. He said, &#8220;Whales bought 270 million #Dogecoin&nbsp;$DOGE in the last 96&nbsp;hours!&#8221;
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
At the price prevailing at the time of writing, the whale transactions amount to $91.8 million.
This revelation comes amidst a broader rally in altcoins, with Dogecoin gaining over 5% in the last 24 hours. The meme coin&#8217;s performance has been linked to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/12/42665334/will-dogecoin-hit-the-widely-anticipated-1-target-in-q1-2025-probably-not-but-musk-led-doge-could-hold-the-key">similar trends</a> observed in 2017 and 2021 by Ali, suggesting a potential &#8220;parabolic rally&#8221; in the future.
So far this year, DOGE has shot up a whopping 274% outperforming larger market cap coins such as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) which gained 132% and 53% in a similar period.

Why It Matters: The cryptocurrency has been buoyant ever since Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42640482/dogecoin-turns-green-as-trump-appoints-loyalist-katie-miller-to-the-department-of-government-efficiency">announced the appointment</a> of DOGE-bull Elon Musk as co-head of the Department of Government Efficiency — a proposed presidential advisory commission that shares its acronym with the meme coin.
The substantial purchase by whale investors indicates a renewed interest in Dogecoin, despite&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42645811/dogecoin-shiba-inu-could-underperform-stronger-cryptos-trader-warns-heres-why">warnings from traders</a>&nbsp;about the meme coin&#8217;s potential to underperform other trending cryptocurrencies.
However, Ali&#8217;s post and the subsequent whale activity could be a positive sign for Dogecoin. If history repeats itself, as the analyst suggests, Dogecoin could be in for a significant rally in 2025.
Price Action: At the time of writing Dogecoin rose 4.6% over 24 hours to trade at $0.34, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">data from Benzinga Pro.</a>

Biden, Harris, And Pope Francis Deliver Messages Of Hope And Inclusion On Christmas Eve, Trump Promotes His New Book As 'Hottest Gift'

A day before Christmas, on Tuesday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made significant adjustments to its portfolio, notably selling shares of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>), and Block Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SQ#NYSE">SQ</a>). Notably, Ark has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42664623/cathie-wood-led-ark-invests-monday-moves-dumps-tesla-palantir-stock-adds-amazon">shedding shares</a> of both Palantir and Tesla this week. Palantir shares have run up a whopping 397% so far this year, while Tesla has appreciated 86% in a similar period. 
The Tesla Trade
Ark Invest executed a notable transaction by selling 18,847 shares of Tesla Inc. through its ARK Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>). This sale, valued at approximately $8.7 million based on Tesla&#8217;s closing price of $462.28, comes amid discussions surrounding Tesla&#8217;s future valuation. Elon Musk recently speculated that Tesla could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42667044/teslas-valuation-could-exceed-all-transport-companies-but-spacex-ceo-elon-musk">surpass the value of all transport companies</a> except SpaceX. Despite these ambitious projections, Tesla&#8217;s stock has been influenced by potential challenges, such as the possible cancellation of the $7,500 EV tax credit in the U.S., which could impact sales.
The Palantir Trade
Ark Invest also reduced its Palantir holdings, selling 42,293 shares from the ARKK fund. This transaction was valued at approximately $3.5 million, given Palantir&#8217;s closing price of $82.38. Palantir&#8217;s stock has been on a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42673408/palantir-stock-is-trading-at-all-time-highs-whats-going-on">remarkable upward trajectory</a>, reaching all-time highs. The company&#8217;s strong performance is largely attributed to its strategic positioning in the AI sector, with shares surging over 380% this year, driven by robust demand for AI solutions.
The Block Trade
In another strategic move, Ark Invest sold 23,962 shares of Block Inc. from the ARKK fund, amounting to about $2.2 million based on the closing price of $91.08. The Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>)-focused company&#8217;s recent financial performance has been mixed, with its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41826457/block-shares-sink-after-mixed-q3-results-eps-beat-revenues-miss">third-quarter earnings</a> surpassing expectations but revenues falling short.

In the past, Sanders has been vocal about his concerns regarding the influence of big money in politics. He has repeatedly called for an end to Citizens United and Super PACs, advocating for public funding of elections instead.
The Citizens United decision, issued by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2010, ruled that laws preventing corporations and labor unions from making independent political expenditures violated the First Amendment&#8217;s free speech protections.

He stressed the importance of overturning Citizens United and transitioning to publicly funded elections to ensure a government that represents all citizens, not just billionaires.

According to Sanders, just 150 billionaire families <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42463691/just-150-billionaire-families-spent-nearly-2-billion-on-elections-bernie-sanders-says-we-live-in-an-oligarchy-heres-what-he-proposes">spent almost $2 billion</a> in the 2024 elections, further emphasizing his argument that the U.S. is becoming an oligarchy.

Bernie Sanders: 'The American People Are Disgusted With Musk' — Calls On Democrats To End Super PACs In Primaries

Jameson Lopp&#8217;s recent post on X, &#8220;RIP Bitcoin Obituaries,&#8221; suggests a decline in Bitcoin&#8217;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) death proclamations, sparking interest in the cryptocurrency&#8217;s resilience.
What Happened: The software engineer, columnist, and Bitcoin advocate&#8217;s post on Christmas Eve, hints at the diminishing frequency of death declarations. Bitcoin, the world&#8217;s largest cryptocurrency, has faced numerous critiques since its inception over 15 years ago, leading to its &#8220;death&#8221; being declared 477 times, according to 99 Bitcoins&#8217; Obituaries tracker.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
The last wave of such negative sentiments emerged in April. However, the number of Bitcoin death reports has been on a decline, hitting a decade-low of 8 in 2023. In 2024, 99 Bitcoin&#8217;s obituary timeline lists only two such fatal declarations.
Data from Bitbo shows an even more dramatic drop in Bitcoin obituaries. A graph from the real-time Bitcoin dashboard shows how these proclamations have thinned out since 2022.

Lopp noted the resilience of the apex cryptocurrency in another post in the same thread where he says that even Bitcoin&#8217;s detractors are &#8220;coping&#8221; these days by saying that &#8220;scams can go on in perpetuity and now that Bitcoin has many billionaires and politicians who are &#8216;in on it&#8217; that it&#8217;s going to stick around.&#8221;

Why It Matters: The decline in Bitcoin&#8217;s death proclamations signals a shift in mainstream media&#8217;s perception of the cryptocurrency. According to a previous report, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/12/36338011/bitcoin-obituary-count-hits-decade-low-just-seven-reports-filed-in-2023">highest number</a> of Bitcoin obituaries came in 2017. Even that year, the apex coin surged a record-breaking 1,900%.
Indeed, Bitcoin has been on a tear in 2024, enjoying gains of 132.2% since January. Over the last 3 months alone the crypto has shot up over 56%. Its most recent all-time high was recorded just a week ago on Dec. 17 when it hit $108,268.45.
Benzinga recently noted that if an investor had put $1,000 into Bitcoin the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42286177/if-you-invested-1000-in-bitcoin-last-time-it-was-declared-dead-heres-how-much-itd-be-worth-today">last time an obituary was published</a> in April, they would have gained 48%. These obituaries often surface when the cryptocurrency is facing a bear market or heightened regulatory scrutiny.

Dylan Zajac's journey to bridging the digital divide began with skateboards, thrift shops and a knack for refurbishing computers. Now 21, Zajac is the founder of Computers 4 People, a nonprofit that has donated over 3,668 computers to individuals and organizations in need while diverting 55,000 pounds of e-waste from landfills.&nbsp;
In an interview with Young Entrepreneur, Zajac shared how his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/12/42369492/how-a-teen-coder-built-a-payments-empire-local-businesses-took-a-chance-on-me-now-we-processed-4-billion-in-2023">teenage side hustle</a> turned into a mission empowering thousands to connect to the digital world.

</ul>
"I started out by skating around Brooklyn with my high school friends, visiting thrift stores for fun," Zajac told Young Entrepreneur. "We'd often hit three or more shops in a day, hunting for old computers we could negotiate down and take home on skateboards."&nbsp;
In his bedroom-turned-workshop, Zajac taught himself how to repair and resell these machines through platforms like eBay and Facebook Marketplace. "The margins were insane, sometimes as high as 80%," he shared.
&nbsp;What began as a hobby quickly grew into a profitable venture. Still, Zajac soon noticed two glaring issues: the environmental toll of discarded electronics and the massive gap in digital access worldwide.

UNITAR reported that 2022 global e-waste hit 62 million tonnes – enough to fill 1.55 million 40-ton trucks circling the Earth. Yet only 22.3% of this waste was recycled, leaving the majority to pollute the planet.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, nearly 2.6 billion people remain offline, missing opportunities for education and employment, according to Reuters. Recognizing the overlap between these crises, Zajac channeled his skills into a larger purpose.
In 2019, as a high school sophomore, Zajac founded Computers 4 People. "I used online tutorials to figure out how to incorporate, file for 501(c) (3) status and draft bylaws," he said.&nbsp;
The mission: collect used computers from individuals and companies, refurbish them and distribute them to people in need. By the time he started college at Babson the nonprofit was well on its way to making an impact.

Building Computers 4 People came with its own set of challenges, especially balancing nonprofit leadership with school. "There's really no such thing as balance; you just have to make it work," Zajac told the publication.&nbsp;
Critics doubted the sustainability of his model once he went to college, but Zajac defied expectations by designing systems to automate inventory, donor relations and grant reporting. "I created proprietary systems that allowed us to scale and run efficiently," he explained.
Securing funding and donations remains a hurdle, but partnerships with Fortune 100 and 500 companies and $1.6 million in grants and donations have helped the nonprofit thrive. "The demand is overwhelming, but diversifying our funding sources has allowed us to expand," Zajac said.
For Zajac, the rewards are personal. "I love solving tough problems and seeing the life-changing impacts of our programs," he shared. When asked about advice for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42598787/i-sold-my-home-and-liquidated-my-401k-entrepreneur-snags-150k-shark-tank-deal-after-beating-stage-3-cancer-and-raising-1-1m">aspiring changemakers</a>, he emphasized action over hesitation: "Don't overthink every step.
