@RoKhanna Is this what you learned at the Learing Center?
How did investing a trillion in our educational department work out? Took us from #1 in education to -#40….
SpaceX created over 4,400 millionaires today, and many of them are regular working people.
They are not executives or founders, they are welders, technicians, machinists, and launch crew, the people who showed up every day and built the rockets with their hands.
Around 400 of them are sitting on stakes worth over $100 million each.
For context, Google's IPO created roughly 1,000 millionaires. Facebook's created around the same. SpaceX is doing more than four times both of them in a single day.
Juan Hernandez is one of them.
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.
A Muslim woman explains what Muslims will get in heaven:
“Allah will reward men with 72 virgins. But women will be forever young and beautiful.
We will live in gold palaces. Allah will give us silk clothes, diamonds, and slaves to serve us for eternity.”
I have never seen a more materialistic and carnal religion.
Father has epic response to this lady 😭🔥
“I also have five boys.”
“Boys, when you go out into school, don’t stab any other kids. You think you guys can do that?”
@ToriatheistTori Competition drives wages. When the government allows millions of foreigners to be here who will do the same job for half the price, well, that’s your competition.
Vote for government that places their citizens above foreigners 👍🏽
