@Szymansk_ii He was broke, mocked, and close to losing everything in 2008.
SpaceX had failed multiple launches. Tesla was on the edge of collapse.
Most people would’ve quit. He didn’t.
Sometimes the difference between failure and history… is refusing to stop. 🚀

Alex Phillips has a powerful message for Keir Starmer.
Well said.

This is a cool look at how SoFi Stadium prepared to host eight World Cup matches (including the USMNT’s first match on home soil in 32 years). They had to remove seats and suites and then built an entirely new natural grass field with irrigation and drainage on top of the turf.
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.
@BernieSanders the last time I checked @elonmusk worked his ass off to get to where he is now. You on the other hand been talking for years. You hated millionaires until you became one, now you hate the billionaires & the one trillionaire!
Freddy,
You've traveled across the U.S. for the World Cup. The least we can do is help you add one more match to the itinerary.
We're inviting you to a San Diego FC match, after your World Cup journey. Let us prove that San Diego belongs on your US tour. 👀🌊☀️
What do you say? @FreddyLA7
A wise man once said, if you want to hate America, watch the news. If you want to love America, drive across it.
These European World Cup tourists are experiencing the REAL America for the first time: not New York City or LA, but middle America and all its hospitality. 🇺🇸
