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.
A little girl in Boston went home one day and asked her Nigerian mother if she could change her name to Zoe.
Nobody at school could say Uzoamaka.
Her mother was cooking. She didn't even turn around.
"If they can learn to say Tchaikovsky, Michelangelo, and Dostoyevsky, they can learn to say Uzoamaka."
That girl kept her name.
Then she went to Hollywood and won three Emmy Awards.
And now the whole world knows exactly how to say Uzoamaka Aduba.
Your name is not a burden. It's a prophecy.
As a man, you can be going downhill in all things dealing with morale. Still…. You have to deal with others morale and how they feel before yours is ever considered.
One of the darkest things a person with unhealed trauma will do is actively sabotage a peaceful relationship just to feel a sense of control.
When you grow up in chaotic environments, peace feels like a trap. You are constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop, and the suspense becomes agonizing. To relieve that anxiety, you will subconsciously pick a fight, create a massive issue out of thin air, or push your partner away. You blow up the relationship yourself because navigating a disaster you created feels much safer and more familiar than navigating a peace you don't know how to trust.
They shooting the messenger, but she ain’t wrong. Dating and sex were heavily demonized in a lot of our homes. We were told to stay away from boys and focus on school. The problem is that relationships are a skill set too and many Black women were prepared for careers but left to figure out dating, boundaries, and healthy partnership on our own.

The parallels are INSANE. 🤯
It is absolutely terrifying that a man can sacrifice his youth, work 60-hour weeks, and build an entire estate, only for a woman to decide she is "bored" after four years, file for a no-fault divorce, and legally walk away with half of everything he built. Marriage was supposed to be a partnership, not a risk-free lottery ticket where you get to cash out on a man's net worth simply because you fell out of love

But instead, he said this:
