History's first trillionaire is a guy who catches rockets out of the sky with chopsticks and beams internet to every dead zone on the planet.
Same guy ships cars that drive themselves, humanoid robots for the factory floor, brain chips that let paralyzed people move a cursor with pure thought, and an AI running on a supercomputer his team stood up in months instead of years.
And the people crashing out about his net worth are doing it on the app he owns. The same app governments spent years trying to censor.
You cannot legislate a rocket into orbit.
@TheDemocrats The same old democrats. Never built anything, never had to make payroll, never created jobs, became millionaires in office on $174k salary, and wants socialism in a country that capitalism has wotlrked for 250 years. They just can't celebrate success in USA!
It's interesting that these companies employ thousands of employees in USA which means that pay millions of dollars in payroll taxes for social security, state, local, propert. Etc. Taxes.

2. KFC (U.S.) — ~100,000+ employees (inferred)
KFC does not publish a U.S.-only number.
However:
- KFC US is listed as having 10,001+ employees on LinkedIn/SignalHire.
- Yum! Brands (parent company) operates KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, and most KFC stores are franchise-operated.

@EndWokeness NYC is in for rude awakening with a constitutional battle if this occurs. Saying that you are going to take people's property and doing it is a different animal! Great sound bite!
