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.

I’ve got a theory.

When people don’t create
music
art
ideas
anything…

they start creating problems instead.

Unused energy gets weird.

I met the guy behind Paperclip. he won't show his face, but he just built one of the FASTEST growing open-source projects in AI.

how to use Paperclip to hire AI agents to ACTUALLY run a startup with 0 employees:

1. with paperclip, you hire a team of AI agents like CEO, engineer, QA, video editor, content strategist and manage them from one dashboard.

it works with Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or any model on OpenRouter. you're not locked into one provider.

2. your AI agents wake up capable but with zero memory. they don't know who they are, where they are, or what they're supposed to be doing. kinda like that movie memento from back in the day

you need to leave them Polaroids like heartbeat checklists, persona prompts, written context. that's how you keep them on track.

3. when an agent makes a mistake, you don't rewrite everything. you add one rule to their persona prompt.

"always define a success condition for every task."

"always pass work to QA before closing." you're training them like you'd train a junior hire. one correction at a time.

4. skills extend what your agents can do. want a video editor who can produce animated content? install the Remotion skill. want security reviews? there's a skill for that.

5. the biggest lever for quality is encoding your own taste. AI can do everything except know your values. design sensibility, brand voice, success criteria but you have to write it down.

6. don't one-shot your startup. agentic design patterns matter. the simplest one: after the engineer builds something, QA reviews it. structure prevents compounding errors. one-shotting an entire app is fun for 30 minutes, then it falls apart.

7. Paperclip tracks every token spent and every task completed. you can use your existing subscriptions (Claude, Codex) so spend shows as $0, or hook into API credits for real dollar tracking.

8. importable companies are coming. Gary Tan's G-Stack, a full game studio, 300+ agent repos... you can "acqui-hire" a proven agent team into your Paperclip instance instead of building from scratch. the future is downloading a tested org that actually works.

9. routines let you automate recurring work. "every day at 10am, read what was merged into the main branch and write a Discord update celebrating community contributors." it runs, you review, you improve. every task is traceable.

10. maximizer mode is next. you tell the CEO "build this game" and it does whatever it takes and hires who it needs, keeps pressing until it's done. no token anxiety. just outcomes.
