CEO,

A trillion dollars built by a guy who genuinely believed in things people thought were science fiction. Believe in your weird idea.

I think possibly the best thing about Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire is how angry it makes a bunch of losers who've never built a thing in their lives.

JEFF BEZOS: “I'M VERY ADMIRING OF WHAT SPACEX HAS DONE AND I WANT THE WORLD TO HAVE AT LEAST TWO SPACEX'S — MAYBE EVEN MORE. GREAT INDUSTRIES ARE MADE UP OF MANY COMPANIES.”

[Linda Yaccarino @lindayaX]

The SpaceX IPO is a reminder that in America, dreams and an unflinching mission still matter. Yesterday’s milestone was made from years of conviction, sacrifice, innovation, and thousands of hardworking people refusing to accept limits.

The constellation of companies Elon has built have come together in extraordinary service to humanity likes of which will never to be replicated.

Im proud to have played a small role in one of them, helping protect free speech at X during one of the most consequential periods in history. The resistance was fierce and we won!

Congratulations to @elonmusk and the @SpaceX team.

America and the world thanks you. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸🇺🇸

The world’s first trillionaire is African.

[John Stossel @JohnStossel]

Congratulations @ElonMusk.

Thanks to SpaceX's IPO, he's the first Trillionaire.

He didn't TAKE money from anyone. He CREATED wealth.

He launched satellites that connect even the poorest, most remote parts of the world.

Our world needs more MAKERS like Musk; fewer TAKERS like:

History's first trillionaire is a guy who catches rockets out of the sky with chopsticks and beams internet to every dead zone on the planet.

Same guy ships cars that drive themselves, humanoid robots for the factory floor, brain chips that let paralyzed people move a cursor with pure thought, and an AI running on a supercomputer his team stood up in months instead of years.

And the people crashing out about his net worth are doing it on the app he owns. The same app governments spent years trying to censor.

You cannot legislate a rocket into orbit.

[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

.@BernieSanders , it is a time to celebrate. @elonmusk has created enormous value for society by building @SpaceX, driving down the cost of rocket launches and creating a global satellite communication network that has brought high speed, low-cost internet and communication access to hundreds of millions and eventually billions of people along with critical advantages for our military and our nation’s defense.

SpaceX and its technologies will cause an acceleration in the growth of wages and wealth creation globally, including in some of the poorest communities in the U.S. and around the world.

Access to low-cost, high speed communications everywhere will allow children around the world to be educated, families to build businesses, and life-saving medical knowledge and care to be available everywhere.

SpaceX will materially bring down the cost of compute, advancing AI and humanity.

Meanwhile, 4,000 SpaceX employees yesterday became millionaires, including hourly wage employees who you claim you are trying to help.

The Elon Musks of the world drive growth, global GDP, and provide access to goods and services at lower cost that would otherwise not exist.

Elon’s nominal trillionaire status is due to his ownership of SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, the Boring Company and his other initiatives that have brought new technologies that improve our everyday lives.

Elon is not sitting on a trillion dollar pile of cash, jewelry and gold. He is using his controlling stakes in his companies to advance mankind. Elon’s companies don’t pay dividends. They reinvest all of their capital to accelerate innovation and value creation.

Elon is working 24/7 for all of us. He deserves respect and appreciation, not smears.

Bernie, your socialism would never allow a SpaceX to be built. Socialism has only proven to impoverish mankind and lead to death and destruction.

We need to create the conditions for more SpaceXs to be built, not attack the great entrepreneurs who are helping to advance our country.

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

Amid all the predictable seething jealousy and bitter resentment to this news, I’d like to congratulate @elonmusk on an astounding achievement. He’s got there by being the most driven, creative, hard-working and ambitious business genius in history. Salut, Elon! 👏👏

@PeterDiamandis @elonmusk "We should be optimistic about the future, and fight to make that optimistic future happen." - Elon

[Peter H. Diamandis, MD @PeterDiamandis]

Pessimists sound smart. 

Optimists build the world.

[George W @GeorgeWCEO]

@MrBeast Congratulations

Next time you think of giving up, remember this photo of Elon in 2008.

[George W @GeorgeWCEO]

@BernieSanders Need to put a lid on it

[George W @GeorgeWCEO]

@ACTBrigitte Is African 🙌🏽

[The Transcript @TheTranscript_]

Elon Musk in this 2012 interview:

" My proceeds from PayPal after tax were about $180M, $100M of that went into SpaceX, $70M into Tesla, and $10M into SolarCity and I literally had to borrow money for rent."

My favorite @elonmusk quote that I often send friends:

Do not fear losing. “You will lose,” Musk says. “It will hurt the first fifty times. When you get used to losing, you will play each game with less emotion.” You will be more fearless, take more risks.

[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

Never give up
