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.
Patriots - if you are protesting tonight, in Belfast or elsewhere, do NOT give Starmer what he wants.
Stay calm. Keep your heads. Do NOT attack the police.
The state will show you no mercy.
The dangerous ‘far-right’ will be blamed, and your life will be ruined forever.
It will be that brutal. However angry you are feeling now, it is not worth it.
Protest - but do it loudly, do it peacefully.
If the police are being aggressive, record it. Film it. Do not react. Because you will not be shown the same leniency as the officers. You will be charged, you will be sentenced, you will be imprisoned.
We’re all angry.
But you will achieve far more for our cause and country OUTSIDE of prison.
“It’s the billionaires”
“It’s the alt-right echo chambers”
“It’s the manosphere influencers”
“It’s the…”
Actually it’s the videos of Africans beheading people in the street that are making people more right-wing
Haven’t seen anyone I know post or say anything about Henry Nowak.
People are either scared of getting arrested, think it’ll help their political opponents or just can’t be bothered to get involved.
All of these answers scare me about the future of the West.
Absolutely disgusting this can happen.
Police handcuff someone assuming they are racist when he literally bled out and died in front of them.
Hopefully Henry’s life will be for something and people will wake up to what’s happening in this country.
Justice for Henry.
@YouTube I have been going round and round with your customer service for days now. Can I please speak to someone about my music releases not being distributed on your platforms!
@LANDR_music can you please merge my play counts on @youtubemusic. You do this for big artists. Please don’t discriminate against independent artists. Have been trying to resolve this with support for months now…
