🚨 BREAKING: President Trump's Iran deal terms are reportedly as follows

1. Nuclear material will be DESTROYED AND REMOVED
2. Nuclear program DISMANTLED
3. NO funds released until they carry out the terms
4. Hormuz Strait OPEN
5. Iran cannot fund terrorist groups

Trump said the terms Iran leaked are FAKE NEWS. Imagine that.

Make it happen, or force them to submit!

Roughly 15 million extra people voted for the first time in 2020 and then decided to stop voting after 2020.

What a coincidence.

We need a real investigation into the stolen 2020 election as well as the coverup.

A man who earned $28 an hour at SpaceX is about to become a millionaire today because of the IPO.

But he is just 1 of 4,400 SpaceX employees becoming millionaires today.

SpaceX begins trading on Nasdaq today under the ticker SPCX, priced at $135 per share and valued at $1.77 trillion.

The offering raised $75 billion and drew more than $250 billion in investor demand, more than three times oversubscribed.

More than 4,400 current and former SpaceX employees are projected to become millionaires today. Around 400 of them will hold stakes worth over $100 million each.

To put that in context, the Google IPO in 2004 created roughly 1,000 millionaires. Facebook's 2012 listing produced a similar number. SpaceX is doing more than four times both of them in a single day.

And the majority of these people are not founders or executives.

They are engineers, welders, machinists, and launch technicians who took equity over cash and held it for years.

Juan Hernandez moved from Mexico and learned to weld for the money.

He joined SpaceX in 2015 earning $28 an hour. When he went full time, the company gave him $10,000 worth of stock. He held it, bought more through payroll deductions, and sold a small portion in 2020 to buy property in Texas.

His remaining shares are worth $880,000 today.

Trevor Hise joined as a launch engineer straight out of college in 2011. He spent 12 years accumulating shares through salary, bonuses, and reinvestment. He is 37 years old and walking away with more than $13.5 million.

Gavin Petit started in 2012 on an $80,000 base salary with a small initial grant priced at $13.80 per share. He took every bonus in stock.

He has already paid off his home in Denver from earlier tender offer windows and now holds a stake worth several million dollars.

J. André Lavoie, an engineer who received grants years ago, is sitting on more than $28 million. He is currently in Italy renovating a hotel.

Tom Mueller was SpaceX's first employee, hired in 2002 to build the engines that made all of this possible. He left in 2020 but kept his equity.

This week he said: "Elon always said that your salary is one thing, but it's the equity that's gonna be worth something. That day is here."

This is what SpaceX's compensation model actually looked like from the beginning. The company paid below market salaries and made up the difference in equity at every level of the organisation, not just at the top.

Stock options vested over four to six years. Workers could buy additional shares at a 15% discount through a company purchase plan.

Early option grants were priced below $2 per share. Even 2025 grants carried exercise prices between $37 and $42. At $135 today, those positions are sitting at 3x returns minimum.

The physical impact is already visible in Brownsville, Texas, one of the poorest cities in the United States, where more than 3,000 SpaceX employees work at Starbase.

Median home prices in the surrounding county have gone from $131,000 in 2014 to over $281,000 today.

More than 100 SpaceX employees pooled their combined holdings, estimated between $1 billion and $5 billion to negotiate institutional level wealth management fees as individual workers.

Today, SPCX opens and 4,400 people find out what years of holding actually pays.

This is about as good of a swing as I’ve seen in the last week. Got a little Michael Brantley in him. Soft stride….back knee bent throughout the swing,so he stays balanced. Swings north through centerfield wall. Whoever is working with this young fella is doing a fine job! Clean and quiet keeps the head and eyes still. Well done!

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

On what planet is this an attack on Republicans?

We have majority support for the bill.

In this rare circumstance, we should put it on the floor and keep debating it until it passes.

That’s not an attack on Republicans.

That’s a plan of attack against voter fraud.

[ThePersistence @ScottPresler]

Dear Senator Cornyn,

I approached you respectfully at the airport, extending my hand & introducing myself.

We were at the ticket gate with literally dozens of witnesses — passengers inches away.

Despite a quib reply back from you, I kept things professional & focused on the SAVE America Act.

While I respect that you say you want to ensure wins this November, I speak for millions when I say that voters will be more likely to vote upon the passage of the SAVE America Act.

Voters see what’s happening in California & wonder why our Senate isn’t doing everything in its power to secure our elections.

Did you know that former Congresswoman Michelle Steel (R-CA) lost by 653 votes in 2024? Did you know that former Congressman John Duarte (R-CA) lost by 187 votes?

I have no doubt that the SAVE America Act would have prevented these losses.

Why are we normalizing an expectation for California to count votes for weeks after Election Day — like Spencer Pratt’s election.

In North Carolina, the State Board of Elections found 34,000 dead voters on the voter rolls — fact-check me. (CC: Senator Tillis)

How can Americans have confidence in our elections & how are Americans going to be inspired to vote if you don’t legislate as the majority?

Last — & I mean this with the utmost of respect — for the $150 million that was spent on the Texas Senate primary/runoff,

we could have built massive voter registration/get out the vote operations in every single swing state.

While I understand it might be difficult to contemplate an American citizen doing this work because it’s the right thing to do, I’m proud to say that I don’t take PAC $ — not even from my own organization.

I can’t be bought, which frustrates the political establishment.

My one singular mission is doing right by the American people and delivering legislative wins that the popular vote delivered in 2024.

I’m on the way to the Texas GOP Convention to help ensure all of our Republican candidates win this November — I hope you’ll do the same.

I hope you’ll do the right thing & encourage your colleagues to pass the SAVE America Act — let’s win big.

[Ronny Jackson @RonnyJacksonTX]

Talarico thinks we've all forgotten about how he LED a bill in the Texas House to try to kill the oil and gas industry in Texas.

Conveniently, now he's changed his tune.

There's nothing he won't say or do for power. EVERYTHING about that man is a FRAUD!!

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

BREAKING: President Trump says he has cancelled scheduled strikes on Iran and the time and place of a deal signing will be “announced shortly.”

[Buzz Patterson @BuzzPatterson]

I have a strong suspicion that we’re going to take Kharg Island very soon.

I’ve been flying around this site for decades. It is THE heart and soul of Iran. If we take it, it’s over.

Problem is, it will take boots on the ground.

Do you support the US seizing the island? Or should we wait?

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent just stunned the world: ANY DAMAGE Iran does to the Gulf nations will now be repaired using IRANIAN FUNDS seized by the US from Iranian accounts

This man is legitimately an economic assassin...NOBODY wants to be on his bad side!

"Any damage it inflicts on our allies in the Gulf will be paid for with funds extracted from Iranian Accounts.

Any tolls paid to the Persian Gulf Strait Authority will be offset by funds extracted from their accounts.

Every attack Iran launches will only deepen the economic and financial consequences it faces."

🔥🔥🔥

[Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman]

Time to rename Kharg Island to Trump Island and plant our flag.

[Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent @SecScottBessent]

The Iranian regime will lose the zero-sum game it is playing.

Any damage it inflicts on our allies in the Gulf will be paid for with funds extracted from Iranian Accounts.

Any tolls paid to the Persian Gulf Strait Authority will be offset by funds extracted from their accounts.

Every attack Iran launches will only deepen the economic and financial consequences it faces.

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

BREAKING: President Trump says the US will be "hitting Iran very hard tonight" and announces that the US will be "taking Kharg Island" in the "not too distant future."

President Trump also says the US will "assume total control" of Iran's oil and gas markets, "much like we have with Venezuela."

[Buzz Patterson @BuzzPatterson]

🔥 TRUMP IS COOKING 🔥

President Trump is back and dropping absolute BANGERS.

A generational military rebuild, bigger than Reagan, with a $1.5 TRILLION defense budget, F-47 fighters, B-21 bombers, the Golden Dome missile shield, and total Space Force domination. Jobs exploding, America First strength restored. No more weakness. Peace through STRENGTH. 💪🇺🇸

Importantly, paired with the Save America Act:
• Photo ID + proof of citizenship to vote
• Crushing mail-in ballot abuse
• Men out of women’s sports
• No more mutilating kids

This is the full package America voted for. Reconciliation bill incoming. Let’s get it done!

Trump 2025 is delivering on absolutely every promise.
Who’s ready?

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

Tom Brady takes you “inside the helmet” and reveals what he said to himself when his team was down 28–3 in Super Bowl 51.

He shared this lesson with a room full of Georgetown graduates, leaving them with something to remember for hard times:

“I’m taking you inside my helmet at a very vulnerable time in my life and one of the biggest moments of my life.”

“And that inner self-talk that people talk about, that should be positive — you know what I said?”

“I said to myself, ‘DON’T BE A LITTLE B*TCH. Go out there and fight your ass off.’”

“Whether you win or lose, fight to the end.”

The greatest comeback in Super Bowl history started with Tom Brady telling himself not to be a “little b*tch” and fighting until the very end.

[SaltyGoat @SaltyGoat17]

If you're confused about how this NUMBNUTZ got 81 MILLION votes in 2020 even though no candidate has done it before or since...

Go take a look at what's happening in California right now and it'll clear things up for you.
