@mukund @epictrades1 It’s sad they focus on Hating Elon, back in the 90’s Cisco and Google made hardworking people wealthy. I knew a receptionist at Cisco who lived in her car with her kids, and became a manager worth 7 figures in 7 yrs. That was great!

@grahamformaine You seem like a regular guy, 🔥 it and we’ll consider you. It’s the gating item and you’re a tough guy. Watch some biker movies. It’ll only hurt for a little while.

@grahamformaine Only one question, if you win do you choose “🔥” or

SpaceX's 11th employee just became a billionaire.

Gwynne Shotwell joined SpaceX in 2002. She was employee number 11, joining as VP of Business Development before the company had proven a single rocket could fly.

She didn't even go there looking for a job. She had taken a colleague to lunch to celebrate him leaving for SpaceX, ran into Musk at the restaurant, and got interviewed on the spot. A week later, she joined him.

Her job: sell rocket launches for a company nobody had heard of. She built the Falcon vehicle manifest to over $5 billion in commercial contracts. She managed SpaceX's growth to 22,000 employees. She was the one who told NASA, the Air Force, and paying commercial customers why SpaceX could get to orbit cheaper and faster than anyone before it.

She was also the one who said no to going public for years. "I wasn't sure the company would go public," she said on CNBC yesterday. She resisted the pressure because she believed the public markets would force SpaceX into quarterly thinking, which would kill the mission.

She finally decided it was time. "I do not want to focus on quarterly earnings," she said on IPO day. "What we're doing is very futuristic."

Her stake is now worth north of $1.3 billion. She's SpaceX's fifth-largest Class A shareholder.

The 24 years of operational work that made yesterday possible have Gwynne Shotwell's fingerprints on them.

@JC_ParetsX It’s ok, MA is the best.

@NestorLRamos @Tesla Time is money, the total time you took would be a loss for me. Focus on your core competency.

@AdamSinger This incredible team of employees worked at below average salaries for 23 yrs. @SenWarren, focused on HATING Elon misses the incredible sacrifice these people made to get here, and they are what MAKES AMERICA GREAT 🇺🇸

Similar to chant in Boston Garden every time Jason Kidd played, “you beat women”, his wife. He pleaded guilty and got a $100 fine, no big deal.

@AdamSinger Creatine, I take 6g everyday with protein powder, and KA’CHAVA. I’m older so I’ll try anything, but no needles. Saw that go bad at my old gym.

@kevinxu Seen it many times, some parents hide their wealth, which is good. Dotcom boom I had a 26 yr old customer, worked for Sycamore, worth $30M, still lived at home. Super concerned he’d never find a wife, how would he know if it was love or money? Another bought a helicopter.🤣

@dougboneparth @SMB_Attorney Does she say “you’re out of order”, and you respond “you can’t handle the truth”.

@Liathetrader @paulswaney3 A few decades ago $AVGO took private planes with drugs and women to Vegas for customers. Then they blackmailed them to buy. CEO was facing decades in jail, and got all charges dropped. He went to rehab and AA so they forgave him.

@dougboneparth @RampCapitalLLC @DiscussingFilm Unfortunately they couldn’t get a conviction, know some people on the prosecution team. Getting kids to testify after years is very difficult.
