A man working as a welder at SpaceX for $28 an hour has just become a millionaire.

Juan Hernandez, who came from Mexico, welded rockets for SpaceX at $28 an hour.

SpaceX gave him $10,000 in stock when he went full time in 2015, and he bought more with every paycheck for 10 years.

$SPCX is now trading at $167, making his shares worth over $1 million.

“He's now teaching his three kids, including his 16-year-old daughter, how to invest based on what he learned owning SpaceX stock. His daughter is already a stakeholder in Meta and a handful of other companies. 

If given the chance to talk to Musk, Hernandez said he'd thank him for helping him realize a dream he didn't know he had.

‘He made it a possibility for somebody like us, you know, the cook or … electrician. He's making all these lives much better and meaningful for their families as well."

The largest IPO in history is almost here...

SpaceX ( $SPCX ) is expected to go public on June 12th at a $1.75 trillion valuation

That would make them the 9th largest company in the world on day 1

[Darren Rovell @darrenrovell]

The first two courtside seats have sold for the first Knicks Finals home game at Madison Square Garden in 27 years.

$279,804!

I have confirmed the sale.

"Modern schooling is systematically terrible at forming well-adjusted, curious, intellectually creative, entrepreneurial adults.

Schools, even much better schools, cannot solve this.

Here's the truth: Nobody loves your kids as much as you do."

On choosing between NYC and Florida following Citadel's Chicago exodus, Ken Griffin said its "unquestionably true that we made the right choice" in choosing Florida

He also says Mamdani's antics have made it clear that he and Citadel need to "double down" on Miami
