Taylor Parker faked her pregnancy with a silicone belly (she'd had a hysterectomy years earlier). She befriended pregnant Reagan Simmons-Hancock, then murdered her—stabbing her repeatedly and cutting the baby out. Parker took the newborn, got pulled over, and claimed she just gave birth in her car. The baby died. Parker was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to death; she's on Texas death row.
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.
I get money for anything you wanna eat and drink when you come over
I get money for taking US out to places I wanna see as well
I get money for affording soft lifestyle for myself( you can tag)
I no get money for wigs, to change your phone or your family issue, or back to back craving or clubbing for Snapchat aesthetics!!
Still can’t believe my wife made us pay our rent way ahead of time and stocked up the house with food, prepaid meter unlimited, just before we started wedding expenses 😂 😂
This doesn’t just apply to relationships. It applies to friends, family, even your parents.
Start giving your parents a monthly allowance and stop later because you’re broke, they’ll resent you. That gateman you give money to every day, the moment you stop, he’ll resent you too.
A gift is not supposed to be steady or predictable. Once it becomes expected, it stops being a gift and becomes an obligation.
Don’t start what you can’t sustain. Even good intentions become harmful in excess.
