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.
Florida Man + Technology = Chaos. 👍🏻
Socks on, no shoes, shirt turban on his head, MacGyver reruns in his brain.
Straps bait to a drone, flies it 200 yards out, then yanks a blacktip shark straight back to the beach like a redneck Scorpion from Mortal Kombat.
Regular Florida Man is dangerous.
Cyber Florida Man is a whole different species.
Florida stays legendary 🏖️🦈🌴
Alex, I know these wonderful magical times have passed, and of course will never happen again. But I want to wish you all the peace, love and happiness in the world as well as a happy birthday.
Sincerely, Sammy

Should Florida beaches start requiring daily and/or seasonal beach tags to prevent “takeovers” and “linkups” like the ones that have occurred on Clearwater Beach and Daytona Beach?
Amazon is building an $11 billion AI data campus in Indiana.
It’ll use as much electricity as roughly 1 MILLION homes.
And about 300 million gallons of water every year.
That’s just ONE facility.
I've done well over 10,000 dives from the Keys to Jupiter and never found a stinking coin let alone a huge silver bar!!! The only treasure I ever found was a huge gold chain on the damn beach in the surf!
It's cool to see the Atocha still giving up treasure lost since 1622!!!!
