Truly historic.

[Shruti @heyshrutimishra]

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.

Outrageous decision to disallow that goal #TOTARS

[Florian Pekazh @pekazh]

@SpursOfficial I guess Spurs will keep changing their coach instead of addressing the lack of quality in their squad and the annual injury crisis.

[Florian Pekazh @pekazh]

@OfficialFPL Should be either Odegaard goal as his shot was on target, or own goal and assist by Timber.

[Florian Pekazh @pekazh]

@OfficialFPL How is this an assist? Defenders clears it after Woltemade can’t control the ball. Crazy decision.

[Florian Pekazh @pekazh]

Burnley fully deserved a point from this but football can be cruel. Clearest penalty ever though, no other possible outcome there.

@WelBeast Don't speak. Nobody will object.

[Florian Pekazh @pekazh]

@markgoldbridge Stop embarrassing the United fans, dude. I know you guys have been struggling, but this is some low-level club mentality.

[Florian Pekazh @pekazh]

Well deserved win for @CPFC 🏆

#FACup

[Liverpool FC @LFC]

Liverpool FC. Premier League champions.

[Florian Pekazh @pekazh]

That’s Cantona-esque from Mateta. #ARSCRY

[Florian Pekazh @pekazh]

Everton’s penalty is yet another example of PGMOL’s incompetence. How is that given?

Then again, we have a case like this every week—on Wednesday it was Tarkowski’s tackle, today it’s a ridiculous penalty decision.

This is not corruption. This is incompetence.

@premierleague @OfficialFPL @CPFC How is Mateta getting 3 bonus points for one goal while Eze has 2 assists and Munoz has a goal as a defender? Both Munoz and Eze also played more minutes than Mateta.

Bonus point system is absolute garbage.

[Florian Pekazh @pekazh]

Just an afterthought of the Legends game last night...

Can Crouchy start for us in the next game, too? Please?

Most LFC fans would love to see Salah and VVD extend (Trent is another case, obviously), but let's be honest.

All we would get from them is another year at this level.

From a long-term perspective, it makes more sense to let them go now and replace them this summer.

#LFC

[Florian Pekazh @pekazh]

From a Liverpool fan, fully deserved. Congrats, Newcastle.

#CarabaoCupFinal

[Premier League @premierleague]

70 years in the making 🥹

Newcastle’s EFL Cup victory is their first domestic trophy since the 1955 FA Cup!

[Florian Pekazh @pekazh]

Are Arsenal fans talking now about their luck with Palmer missing the game?

#ARSCHE

[Florian Pekazh @pekazh]

@dahlgren_linus @OfficialFPL All I’m saying is, it makes absolutely no sense.

[Florian Pekazh @pekazh]

Amazing game of football to be honest. You rarely see a game like this with so much drive and creativity.

Congrats to PSG, I thought they fully deserved to get through.
