GloboNews metendo o pau em Moraes

Demétrio Magnoli: “Quando EUA, Espanha e Itália, sistemas judiciais, não governos, negam pedidos de extradição do Brasil, o problema não está neles. O problema é negar a realidade: há violação de Alexandre de Moraes no devido processo no STF. Não é só no caso Zambelli, mas no processo geral dos bolsonaristas. O ponto é que um juiz acumula vítima, investigador e julgador. Isso fere a democracia.”

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.

Oleg Deripaska, Russian billionaire: if the US gains control over Venezuela's oil production, the Russian budget will face problems.

"If our American ‘partners’ get their hands on Venezuela’s oil fields (and they have already reached those in Guyana), more than half of the world’s oil reserves will end up under their control," Deripaska wrote.

According to Deripaska, the United States plans to "make sure" that the price of Russian oil "does not rise above $50 per barrel," and such a scenario threatens Russia’s current economic model.

"This means that our so-called sacred state capitalism will find it difficult to keep everything as it is: not cutting costs, not getting rid of non-core assets, and continuing to pursue grand projects without the necessary expertise and without the involvement of private business," Deripaska noted.

Deripaska added that it will also become "harder for the Russian authorities to put pressure on private business," which "starting this year is becoming the main taxpayer to the federal budget."
