Happy birthday to my wonderful son. @elonmusk has given me 55 years of joy.
It’s so much fun to celebrate with family and friends.
His cake is a rocket and a moon base 🎂🎂🎉
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.
In the snow-covered mountains of Wyoming, USA, a group of horses became trapped after a severe winter storm buried the fields and cut off their access to food. With the roads blocked and no safe way to reach them by land, rescuers used a helicopter to fly over the frozen valley and drop bales of hay from above. One by one, the hungry horses moved through the snow toward the scattered food, finally getting the help they needed to survive.
Eli Lilly $LLY Is the Headline Play on the Longevity Frontier
Spending on longevity is about to explode, and Eli Lilly $LLY sits at the center of the trend. The company just posted quarterly sales growth of 56%, driven by a 65% jump in demand for its weight-loss drug Mounjaro. That report pushed the stock out of a consolidation phase and into new all-time-high territory.
The setup is bigger than one drug. A booming investment theme we call the "Longevity Frontier" is taking hold. These businesses sell supplements, diagnostics, treatments, and therapies, all aimed at extending a person's healthspan, meaning the number of healthy years they have left.
The demographic tailwind is enormous. Federal Reserve data shows 15 to 20 million baby boomers are millionaires. More than 1 million are worth over $10 million. The U.S. population aged 80 and older is projected to roughly double, from 14.7 million currently to 29.4 million by 2050.
Wealthy boomers are already paying out of pocket for premium services. Concierge firm Radence charges a $50,000 onboarding fee plus $50,000 annually for organ imaging, microbiome profiles, and genetic analysis. Function Health has scaled past a $2 billion valuation. Sam Altman put $180 million into Retro Biosciences to chase cellular rejuvenation drugs.
That capital is flowing toward anything that promises a few extra healthy years. Bulls on $LLY argue the next generation of GLP-1 drugs will deliver greater efficacy and drive even larger sales. With an aging, cash-rich consumer base willing to spend, the long-term setup for Eli Lilly and the broader longevity industry looks structurally bullish.
I hate that I even have to post this, I’d much rather keep it to myself and move on. But I think people need to see how truly violent, radicalized and evil these people in society have become.
I hate that I have to travel with security but as you can see it is necessary, I love my security team they are great and have kept me safe many times.
I hate especially that I have to ask and raise money just to be safe, for simply helping America and exposing fraud. For example security cost $30,000+ a month just to be safe with how much I travel for videos.

I am so grateful for the constant support from all of you, the most important is for people to watch and follow to help keep opening the eyes of others. More fraud to be exposed soon;)
God bless,

I bet long term, SpaceX is going to be the default choice for overseas cargo deliveries, especially when Starship is proven to work.
“Once you achieve full reusability, then it’s simply the cost of access to orbit is just the cost of propellant, because now you can reuse all aspects of the vehicle. The propellant we use for the Starship is liquid oxygen and liquid methane, which is the cheapest propellant you could possibly get. …So the cost of propellant for Starship will be less than the cost of jet aviation fuel, which means that you should be able to actually send cargo to space for less than the cost of cargo of an airplane going on a transoceanic trip.”
Elon Musk personally arranged a phone call with a 15 year old girl who was dying of cancer. When the call connected she was too exhausted to speak.
Her name was Olivia Perrotto. Everyone called her Liv. She had been fighting cancer for five years. She loved space more than anything. She designed a stuffed animal called Asteroid, a Shiba Inu in a spacesuit, and it was selected as the official zero gravity indicator for the Polaris Dawn mission. The most historic crewed spaceflight since Apollo.
Her plush toy went to space. It floated in zero gravity 1,400 kilometers above Earth during the first commercial spacewalk in history. A stuffed animal designed by a teenager who might not live to see it land.
Before the mission she wrote eight questions on a piece of paper for Elon. Things like have you been to Japan. What's your favorite anime. Do you like dogs. And the last one. Will you make Asteroid the official SpaceX mascot.
Elon tried to call her to answer the questions personally. But by the time the call was arranged she was too weak to talk. He sent flowers and a handwritten note instead. The questions stayed on her nightstand.
She passed away in January 2026 at fifteen years old.
Three months later Elon answered all eight questions publicly. He said yes to making Asteroid the official SpaceX mascot. It took him two days to respond because the decision had to be approved internally by SpaceX leadership.
The plush now sits in a permanent museum display at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center with a plaque that reads In Memory of Olivia Liv Perrotto.
Most people see Elon as the rocket guy or the richest man alive. But he sent flowers to a dying girl he never met because she loved his rockets. That's the part the headlines miss.
🚨 ELON MUSK JUST MADE EVERYONE A HIDDEN MILLIONAIRE
$SPCX just filed a $75B IPO and Tesla holders already own a piece without knowing it
This IPO with $1.75T valuation will definitely be the argest in recorded history
Drops June 12
The crowd is focused on BTC charts and almost nobody is tracking what's actually being assembled here
In March, Tesla converted its $2B xAI stake into a direct SpaceX shareholding
TSLA holders became SpaceX shareholders before the IPO even priced - they just don't know it
On top of that - Wedbush puts 80-90% odds on a full Tesla/SpaceX merger as a 2027 scenario
Last time Musk pulled a structural move like this: SolarCity merger, 2016, TSLA ran 4,828% over the next 12 years
$10,000 became $492,800
The scale of what's being built here is a different category from anything I've seen this cycle
As for me, June 12 is circled - this is the kind of setup you don't wait for confirmation on
Save this. This is a generational wealth play
MARK YOUR CALENDAR: SpaceX's IPO roadshow starts TOMORROW. 🚨
And the deal structure tells you everything.
It's all-primary, every dollar raised goes to SpaceX, not to insiders cashing out.
Translation: Elon and SpaceX's earliest investors aren't selling a single share.
At the highest IPO valuation in history (~$1.75 TRILLION), they'd rather hold than take the money off the table.
That's not how people act when they think they're at the top.
Roadshow Thursday.
Pricing ~June 11.
Trading June 12.
The biggest IPO ever is one week away.

Elon Musk's mother once worked five jobs at the same time just to keep her children alive.
After leaving South Africa with three kids and almost nothing, Maye Musk worked as a dietitian during the day, a model on weekends, a research officer at a university, taught nutrition classes at night, and took any freelance consulting work she could find in between. She was in her forties. She shared a rent-controlled apartment with her three children in Toronto.
This wasn't a struggling artist situation. This was survival. She has said publicly that there were times she couldn't afford groceries. That she would skip meals so her children could eat. That she once went to a food bank and cried in the parking lot because she felt ashamed.
Her son watched all of this. Every skipped meal. Every extra shift. Every time she pretended she wasn't hungry so there'd be enough for three kids.
Forty years later that son is about to become the first trillionaire in human history. He has said in interviews that his work ethic doesn't come from ambition. It comes from watching his mother work five jobs and still not have enough.
He doesn't work 120 hours a week because he loves grinding. He works because somewhere in his subconscious he's still that kid watching his mom skip dinner.
Maye Musk is now one of the most recognized models in the world. She walked the Met Gala at 74. She's on magazine covers in her seventies. She built her career after fifty.
Most people use a hard childhood as an excuse. The Musks used it as fuel. The difference isn't circumstance. It's what you decide the pain means.
Personal update: I’ve joined @SpaceX and @xAI.
After investing in the future of work and AI at Bloomberg Beta, it became clear: AI capabilities are advancing and compounding at an unprecedented rate.
It only made sense to join the team accelerating the fastest and to build the future directly.
Excited to be working on making life multi-planetary and building AI to understand the universe.
If you’re a high-agency builder and want to join the mission, DM me.
Ad Astra! 🚀
BREAKING: SpaceX plans to price its IPO at $135 per share, selling 555.6 million shares to raise $75 billion in the largest IPO ever, Reuters reports.
That values SpaceX at $1.75 trillion. The roadshow begins Thursday.
Setting a target price this early is highly unusual. Companies normally give a range first and lock the price the day before the debut.
Elon Musk will be required to hold his shares for 366 days after the IPO, a signal he is not selling. SpaceX is also weighing letting individual investors take up to 30% of the offering.
Proceeds will go toward expanding AI compute and the satellite network.
Elon Musk explains why the old school journalism is dead
“Citizen journalism is the future. I really encourage everyone out there to write stuff on 𝕏 or any other platform”
Citizen journalism is changing how information flows
Instead of a small number of editors deciding what the public gets to see, millions of people can now report events, share evidence, provide context, and challenge narratives in real time
What makes this moment transformative is that information is no longer flowing in just one direction
News is increasingly being created, verified, discussed, and corrected by the public itself
The barriers to publishing have effectively disappeared
News by the people, for the people
