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.
Backstory: I pre-ordered the 25k before I went to the bank. They verified my account & ensured me that I could pick it up upon arrival. I guess they didn’t realize I was a woman of color. I’m not a victim or a “pick me,” & I hate people that always blame their race on shit. So if I’m saying I genuinely was racially profiled, that’s what it was. Because I plan on taking this to the furthest extent, I will not speak any further on this matter. My account is still frozen. Nothing in my account is fraudulent. I work very hard for my money. This is humiliating & LOW.
