π¨ MAJOR BREAKING: President Trump announces he will issue a $5,000 DOLLAR dividend to every adult US citizen if the Republican Party holds the Senate and House in 2026
WOW.
Trump says it's similar to a company issuing "cash distributions to its shareholders"
"Because our country is making so much money."
"Only I can make this promise to you. Here is my promise. If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, both of them, because of our economic, tremendous economic success, like in history we've never had anything like what's happening..."
"I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000."
That's HUGE.
Attention all northern transplants, snow-karens, and recent tax refugees: THIS IS NOT A DRILL. β οΈ
It is shaping up to be the single most catastrophic atmospheric event in Florida history. As you can clearly see from the attached graphic, these two mild tropical depressions have spliced DNA, cloned themselves, and broken off into dozens of rogue, hyper-localized Category 5 hurricanes targeting your exact HOA.
There is only one logical option left: RUN!!!π
Immediately pack up your belongings. Grab your daughter Russell, wrangle the shaved emotional-support poodle, and stuff your zero-emissions Lesbaru Outback to the brim with artisanal bottled water. A single sandbag and a three-year stockpile of Costco toilet paper will not protect you from a swarm of micro-cyclones.
Now, you might be asking: "Why aren't the locals panicking?"
Oh, we are terrified. But as Floridians, our self-sacrificing hospitality always comes first. Our primary mission right now isn't our own survivalβit is safely evacuating every single one of you back above the Mason-Dixon line. We are a noble, selfless people. We will personally line Interstate 75 to escort your Subarus to safety, hand you a parting Pub Sub, and safely guide you back to New Jersey before we even *think* about securing our own patio furniture.
Please, leave now so we can suffer in peace. Go north, hit the gas, and don't look back! πβ οΈπ΄
A tourist was tossed in the air by a bull bison in Yellowstone National Park. Pretty wild how quickly things escalated and how much ground the bull bison covers after it finished wallowing in the recreational area.
SpaceX millionaires 4,000 x $1mil , 400 x $100 mil
Every employee who joined before the first succesful launch made (unless they sold early) more than $100 million.
SpaceX lists June 12 at ~$1.75T.
Work backward from the cap table. At $1.75T, clearing $100M takes ~0.0057% of the company.
- 2002β2008, first ~500 in: joined at a ~$50M company. Held to $1.75T = a 17,000x. The core of the club β maybe 150β250 left holding
- September 2008, SpaceX has first successful launch
- 2010β2016: joined at $1Bβ$10B. Needs a senior grant β directors, principal engineers, early Starlink. ~100β200
- C-suite + board: Shotwell, Johnsen past $1B. A layer of SVPs below them clears $100M on equity, not salary. ~20β40
- Post-2016: joined at $20Bβ$350B. To hit $100M you'd have needed ~0.4% of the company. Impossible for an employee. This is the millionaire tier β almost none reach $100M
The tally:
~400β500 at $100M+
A few dozen above $500M
A handful of billionaires past Musk
Same building. Same mission. Two orders of magnitude apart β set entirely by what year you walked in.
Early isn't a strategy. It's a date stamp.
My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And itβs been the best decision Iβve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats β itβs time to come together and beat Trump. Letβs do this.
