Saw the Odyssey tonight in Chicago on 70mm at @AMCTheatres. Absolutely incredible. One of the best movies I’ve ever seen. Run, don’t walk, to the theater! 🍿 #TheOdyssey
Just watched Obsession… insane! 🤯 Inde Navarrette was incredible! So many scene’s where she made the movie. Michael Johnston was great, too. What a tremendous horror film. One of the best I’ve seen in years. 10/10. #FreakyNikki
Paramount+ has been terrible tonight. The coverage has constantly lagged during UFC 239. Streaming services need to stop buying rights to live sporting events if they can’t reliably broadcast them. #UFC239#Paramount
Just saw #Supergirl. I'm a DC loyalist and was very excited for this, but overall it was disappointing. 6.5/10? Krem was lackluster, and Krypto being at the center of the conflict (again) missed the mark. Getting Lobo on the big screen was long overdue though. Onward to Clayface!
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.
