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.

[MGB Neurosurgery @MGBneurosurgery]

For the third consecutive year, members of our MGB Neurosurgery Global Health Program traveled to West Africa to collaborate with local teams in expanding access to neurosurgical care.

This year marked the team’s first visit to Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra, Ghana, with a focus on endoscopic endonasal pituitary surgery and epilepsy surgery.

Congratulations to every member of this incredible team for their dedication, partnership, and commitment to advancing global neurosurgery. And a massive thank you to all of the sponsors and partners who make this work possible #globalneurosurgery

Mayo Clinic researchers developed an experimental nanotherapy that delivers two cancer drugs directly to brain tumors, according to a study published in Nature Communications Medicine. The strategy extended survival in preclinical models of glioblastoma, the most aggressive form of brain cancer.

Burnout isn't caused by working too much. It's caused by working a lot with no visible proof that it matters. You can work brutal hours at something you believe in and not burn out. The exhaustion isn't from the volume. It's from the meaninglessness.

What we do in life echoes in eternity.

[Dr. Banda Khalifa @dr_bandak]

“Passion” is not a substitute for safe working conditions.

Yes, many junior doctors are deeply committed. But chronic underpay, burnout, and unsafe workloads do not produce better care. They produce errors, exits, and brain drain.

A health system that depends on doctors being “poor” to stay passionate is not a health system. It is exploitation.

If we want consistent, high-quality care, we should pay fairly, staff adequately, and equip facilities properly.

Don’t let anybody lie to you that world-class care is not possible in Ghana.

It is possible. It is available. With Ghanaian HCWs. Sometimes, purely Ghana-trained HCWs. We know where to find them.

The comment from the CBS listener proves it.

We shouldn’t settle for less.
