bro immigrated from Mexico and took a $28/hr contract welding job in 2015.

didn't even know what SpaceX was.

they gave him $10,000 in stock and let him buy more through payroll deductions.

that stake is now worth $880,000.

and he's one of 4,400 employees who became millionaires on Friday. welders. technicians. cafeteria staff.

No, you don't get it.

He does not have $1 trillion sitting in cash, it is 99% stock in his companies.

To make that wealth liquid would mean selling all that stock which would swiftly destroy *both* the companies (Tesla, SpaceX, others) and the wealth. If he sold it all, he'd end up with maybe $100b max, several hundred thousand people would be out of work, the companies ruined and many of their suppliers also ruined.

Okay, but now Elon has $100b in cash, and can "solve the world's problems".

$100b divided by the world's 8 billion people is $12

If you were in charge, several of the most innovative industrial companies in the world would be destroyed, hundreds of thousands out of work, and space would again close to human civilization for another generation.

But everyone on earth could have one nice meal and you could revel in your altruism.

@Djoko_UTD I did this at a doubles exhibition match with @JohnMcEnroe against @AnnaKournikova.

I always assumed @GoogleFlights was better and more real-time than legacy search aggregators like @bookingcom

That is apparently wrong. https://t.co/KkRkEm1fCx shows a bunch of flights Google Flights misses entirely. Example below.

If you’re ever in a pinch trying to find flights, don’t use @Google.

“I want a hobby job. Can I get a hobby job? Like I don’t ever want to stop working, but I’d just like my job to kinda be a hobby, okay?” - Mrs. Williams
