Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day.

400 of them are now worth over $100 million.

These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries.

Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000.

Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous."

The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before.

Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.

Warren Buffett:

“I like to deal with people where I feel a 1-page contract will do the job.

If I have to have 50 pages in there to protect me against the guy I’m dealing with, I’ll always wonder whether I needed 51.”

Dreams are easy. Doing is hard.

On the Christmas Special, I sat down with @ZBrownCEO, CEO of McLaren Racing, and this line stuck with me: “You’ve got to go get it.”

His point? Dreams only work if you do.

Watch now. Link in bio.

Warren Buffett explains the critical difference between investing and speculating.

If the asset doesn’t produce anything, you’re just hoping for a "greater fool" to pay more tomorrow.

Real investing is about the output of the asset itself

This was the coldest celebration that’s ever taken place in any sport.

Israel Adesanya shot 3 arrows in the heart of his demon.

One for every loss he suffered to him in the past.
