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.

ELON MUSK:
“We’re going to have universal high income.
We’ll basically just issue money to people."

"AI and robots are going to make so much stuff and provide so many services that they’ll run out of things to do for humans."

"Money will stop being relevant at some point in the future."

"AI won’t use human currency. It will care about power and mass: wattage and tonnage.”

ME:
“So just as you’re becoming a multi-trillionaire, money starts to have less value?”

ELON:
“Yeah, pretty much.”

[EliteOptionsTrader @EliteOptions2]

Trading isn’t just about making money.

It’s about building your character.

The patience you develop waiting for your level.
The emotional control you build after a bad loss.
The discipline you earn showing up when nobody is watching.

Trading unlocks a version of you that nothing else can.

The money is just proof it worked.

What happens when you embrace life as a trader, living on your own PnL

1) you treat the general volatility of life with equanimity, sh*t happens everyday in the portfolio and its a reflection of life. Most people want to suppress vol (salary, stability etc)

How to legally insider trade 101: Join Congress

You wake up at 5am. You put on a hard hat or a badge or scrubs. You drive to a job that doesn't care if you slept. You do it again tomorrow.

You've been putting $100 a month into your 401k since you were 26. You don't pick stocks. You buy an index fund because that's what they told you to do.

You get 8% a year if you're lucky. That's the deal. That's what regular people get.

Some months you check the balance and it's down and you feel it in your chest. That's your kid's college. That's your retirement. That's every time you told your wife "not this month."

You don't get to cheat. You don't know anyone. You just keep putting in the $100.

Congress doesn't play by those rules.

September 2008. Lehman Brothers just collapsed. The Treasury Secretary and the Fed chairman pull congressional leaders into an emergency room. So classified they take everyone's phones at the door. They tell the room the entire global financial system could collapse in days.

Congressman Spencer Bachus is in that room. He's the ranking member of the House Financial Services Committee. Literally the guy in charge of overseeing Wall Street.

He walks out. Next morning he buys options that pay double when the market crashes.

Sells days later. Profit.

Same year, the Pelosis are sitting on shares of Visa they got at the IPO. She blocks a credit card reform bill. She's working for her bags. Visa pumps 2x. She makes bank. The market crashes 15%.

10 million families lost their homes. Housing dropped 27%. $4.2 trillion in household wealth just gone. Your parents' house is underwater. Your retirement is cut in half. People are losing everything.

Nobody in Congress lost anything.

Zero prosecutions. No consequences.

So what'd they do? They did it again.

January 2020. Classified Senate briefing on COVID. Most Americans haven't even heard the word yet.

Senator Richard Burr walks out and writes a public op-ed. America is "better prepared than ever." Everything's fine folks.

Then he dumps up to $1.7 million in stock. 33 trades. One day.

Your portfolio was at an all-time high that week. You didn't touch it. Why would you. You trusted the people running the country.

Two weeks later Burr is behind closed doors telling rich donors the truth. This virus is "much more aggressive than anything we've seen in recent history."

He told you it was fine. He told them to get out.

S&P 500 drops 34% in five weeks. Your savings of 20 years wiped in half. Just gone. Obliterated.

You're sanitizing groceries in the garage wondering if your parents are gonna make it.

Senator Kelly Loeffler is reallocating millions after her classified briefing. Senator Feinstein's husband dumps up to $6 million in late January.

1.1 million people died. And four senators were trading on classified pandemic briefings.

No hedge fund had that intel. No pension fund. No financial advisor. Nobody. Just them. Just the people in that room.

DOJ opened investigations. Quietly closed all of them. Burr finished his term. Retired with a full pension.

You buried your grandmother and watched your retirement account crater. They sold at the top.

Now look at this.

Your savings grow 8% a year.

Average hedge fund, where you need a million bucks just to get in the door. 6 to 11% a year.

Top 50 hedge funds on the planet. Smartest money alive. Billions in computing power. 12.4% a year.

Warren Buffett. Greatest investor who ever lived. 20% a year.

Nancy Pelosi walked into Congress in 1987 with a portfolio worth $700,000. She's worth $240 million now. Her net worth is 40 times her entire lifetime government salary. 350x return.

In 2024 alone her portfolio gained 71%. The S&P did 25%. She beat all of them. Every hedge fund. Every quant. Buffett. Everyone. On a government salary.

Before they get power their returns are normal. After? Their trades start predicting earnings announcements before they happen.

ITS A RIGGED SYSTEM.

You get 8%.

They get whatever they want. Because they write the rules.

ABOVE THE LAW.

PERFECT CHEAT CODE.

Now think about this.

What if you insider trade once, whether on purpose or by accident?

A guy in Houston overheard his wife on a Zoom call about a company acquisition. Bought stock. Made $1.76 million. FBI showed up. Two years federal prison. Career gone. Wife gone. His lawyer told the judge he will never work again.

Martha Stewart. Avoided a $45,000 loss. Five months in prison.

Max sentence for insider trading is 20 years. Median is 30 months.

The penalty for a member of Congress who violates the STOCK Act. $200.

$200 fricking dollars.

78 members violated it in the last Congress alone.

Nobody got prosecuted.

Number of members of Congress ever prosecuted for trading on legislative knowledge in the entire history of the United States. Zero.

86% of Americans want to ban congressional stock trading.

Can't even get a vote on it.

Because the people who'd have to vote for the ban are the ones making money off it.

This whole economy. $30 trillion. Built by the people waking up early and putting in the $100 a month and wearing the hard hat and the badge and the scrubs.

You built it. You played by the rules. You got 8%.

535 people who never built a thing in their lives are skimming the top with information they didn't earn and immunity they gave themselves.

That's the system. Its pure crime. Hypocrisy of the highest level.

Insider trading for me. Prison for thee.

So you want to insider trade and maybe pay a $200 fine? Join Congress and work for your bags.

I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE DON’T USE GROK FOR STOCKS.

Most traders are looking at charts from 6 months ago.
Grok analyzes real-time sentiment on X to predict future.

I think about this a lot - for whatever reason many in my generation were taught to “enjoy life! don’t have kids so fast! it’s expensive!”

The truth is having them in my 20s when i was that much springier, faster, and young would have been the alpha move.

I think the next generation will understand this
