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.

Iran has launched hundreds of ballistic missiles and drones across the region, targeting Israel and US forces. Despite advanced air defense systems intercepting most projectiles, some strikes have caused significant damage.

Carney gets asked if what happened in Venezuela will increase the need for Canada to build a pipeline.
He doubles down on saying it was a welcome move to remove the dictator. He then says Canadian oil is more competitive because it’s low carbon. You can’t make up this insanity.

🇺🇸How US Special Forces Infiltrated Venezuela?

Stealth design F-35 used instead of F-16 to counter the radar system

Delta Forces rehearsed the mission until they could do it blind folded

How did they find him? Simple. The CIA tracked his 'Pattern of Life'—what he ate, what he wore, and exactly where he slept. They didn't just guess; they knew. Back in the US, Delta Force built an exact replica of his safe house, rehearsing the raid until they could do it blindfolded. And the blowtorches? Those were for the panic room. Intelligence knew Maduro slept behind bank-vault-style steel doors. The team brought heavy-duty thermal cutters to burn him out. But in the end, speed was their weapon. Operators breached the room so fast, they caught him before he could even lock the door."

China Won’t Bleed for You — Maduro Just Proved It.
Being China’s Partner Is a Fatal Mistake.
China spent over $100 billion propping up Venezuela — then watched as its “ironclad ally” was arrested and flown out in a flawless U.S. operation.

This video breaks down the surreal timeline of Maduro’s arrest, why China’s “all-weather partnership” collapsed in real time, and the brutal lesson every regime flirting with Beijing just learned.
When pressure hits, China doesn’t protect you. It exposes you.
Watch how today China Lost Credibility in the Western Hemisphere.

Venezuelan journalist Germania Rodriguez Poleo's message to those who are mad that President Trump captured dictator Nicolas Maduro:

"Do not for a moment let your hatred and disdain for Donald Trump have you defending the dictator of my country, which was destroyed by [Maduro] and [Hugo] Chavez and their system 20 years ago. We Venezuelans are very, VERY happy that our dictator has been arrested, removed, and will be put through a trial. It's the first time we're seeing justice in 26 years! Now let's hope they get all of those criminals out of Venezuela and then we can return home."

🚨Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado: “This is not a legitimate president. This is the head of a criminal structure that was already defeated in a presidential election by a landslide.”

JUST IN: General "Raizin" Caine gives a detailed breakdown of the U.S. attack on Venezuela, says they were so detailed that they knew what Maduro ate and where his pets were.

- 150 aircraft involved.

- U.S. forces arrived at Maduro's compound at 1;01 a.m.

- Helicopters came under fire, but "replied with that fire with overwhelming force and self-defense."

- Maduro and his wife gave up and were taken into custody.

- The youngest crew member was 20, and the oldest crew member was 49.

- Preparation took several months.

- "Those in the air over Caracas last night were willing to give their lives for those on the ground and in the helicopters."

- "After months of work by our intelligence teammates to find Maduro and understand how he moved, where he lived, where he traveled, what he ate, what he wore, what were his pets..."

- The weather was just clear enough for the mission so aviators could operate.

- All U.S. soldiers are safe.

Liberal MP,

Arielle Kayabaga was House Leader for 9 days.

She was in her riding at the time.

(Not in Ottawa)

She somehow managed to blow $173K+

OF OUR MONEY.

We deserve answers.

I am sorry for bringing this very graphic image to your timeline, but don’t stay in your comfort zone in Lagos or Abuja and be saying peace, peace when infact, there is no peace!
