My friend’s son graduated from college 10 months ago and took a job with SpaceX.
Today he became a millionaire.
🚀 Attach yourself to a rocketship (in this case, literally).
Read this post 👇
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.

Congratulations to @elonmusk and the SpaceX team. You did what countless people said was impossible, and you did it time and time again.
Today is your day. You deserve this. May it be a glorious one.
Here is my full, unedited 30-minute interview with Colorado GOP gubernatorial frontrunner Victor Marx. We discuss his claims about rescuing women and children from captivity, how many people he's killed on those missions, and his exorcisms.

Hi Dr. Diqhead. I post all my newsmaker interviews online in full and unedited for transparency. Interviewees are also welcome to record their own version, as the Marx team did. Here is the full, unedited interview with Victor Marx: https://t.co/0aOb0zJePL
BREAKING - Shocking video is going viral showing the contrast between a massive pro Donald Trump rally in Washington DC that the media refused to report on and a much smaller anti Trump No Kings protest in Chicago that was widely covered nationwide.
Six years ago today, a truly shocking incident occurred that disgraces the name of science.
A dozen scientists shared the view that Covid started with a laboratory experiment.
So they met online to discuss how to mislead the world into thinking the opposite.
🧵🚨 MINNEAPOLIS SIGNAL INFILTRATED
I have infiltrated organizational signal groups all around Minneapolis with the sole intention of tracking down federal agents and impeding/assaulting/and obstructing them.
BUCKLE UP ALL WILL BE REVEALED
Each area of the city has a signal or several signals. Let’s start with a screen recording of all members of the south side group to start.
My friends, please take a moment right now to stop what you’re doing and pray for Victor Davis Hanson. This national treasure is confronting a major health challenge and especially today needs us to lift him up in prayer. Thank you.
Scott Adams announces he intends to convert to Christianity in response to his friends witnessing to him.
@ScottAdamsSays “I've not been a believer, but I also have respect for any Christian who goes out of their way to try to convert me, because how would I believe you believe your own religion if you're not trying to convert me?
So I have great respect for people who care enough that they want me to convert and then go out of their way to try to convince me.
So you're going to hear for the first time today that it is my plan to convert.
I still have time, but my understanding is you're never too late.”
Please pray that Scott will accept Christ before it’s eternally too late!

Trolling the Democrats and of course they're apoplectic about it. The key to humor is to make sure there is an element of truth in it. You know this is exactly what they actually think and believe.
Glenn Beck just paid tribute to Charlie by placing Rush Limbaugh’s Golden EIB mic in front of Charlie’s empty chair.
Thank you Glenn for one of the most beautiful and touching tributes to Charlie. I will watch your opening back on repeat for years 🙏
