almost everyone reads this list as wealth hoarded.

it’s the opposite. each name here is a rounding error on the surplus they unleashed on to the world through both the peripheral individuals (employees, investors, etc) involved & the compounding value of their creation to society in general (which allows others to also pursue greatness).

“It is certainly hard to believe that a little company that started in a warehouse in El Segundo is now going public with the largest IPO ever.”

Only in America. Congratulations to @elonmusk @SpaceX. This is the American Dream 🇺🇸💪🚀

Congrats to @elonmusk for becoming earth’s first trillionaire

[Squawk Box @SquawkCNBC]

"It's not that you're just getting a trillionaire, it's that you're getting a whole new economy - the space economy," says @WalterIsaacson of @elonmusk ahead of the @SpaceX IPO. https://t.co/Yea418abPL

Today, Neil deGrasse Tyson can go shit in his hat:

"The delusion is thinking that SpaceX is going to lead the space frontier. That's just not going to happen, and it’s not going to happen for three really good reasons: One, it is very expensive. Two, it is very dangerous to do it first. Three, there is essentially no return on that investment."

Congratulations to @elonmusk and the SpaceX team. You did what countless people said was impossible, and you did it time and time again.

Today is your day. You deserve this. May it be a glorious one.

The AI infrastructure boom is generating strong demand for skilled blue-collar workers. In fact, there’s a shortage of electricians, fiber technicians, and mechanical tradespeople needed to build and maintain AI data centers. Meta’s new $115M America’s Workforce Academy provides paid training plus job guarantees for exactly these roles. This is the kind of practical jobs training program that we need more of.

SpaceX was less than 10 people back then. We didn’t even have office furniture.

The strongest argument for Zionism wasn’t October 7. It was the reaction to October 7.

Tens of thousands of people gathered in Manhattan today with:

No face masks.
No terrorist flags.
No chants threatening violence.

In case you're confused by the images of pro Palestinian gatherings in New York City, the Israel Day Parade is what a peaceful rally looks like.

Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend
