That's how we're gonna win. Not fighting what we hate, but saving what we love.

Come play-

@clairlemon I think they need to do it every time they talk about net worth.

[solamusing @solamusing]

@jarvis_best I’d say it’s blue.

[solamusing @solamusing]

@simonateba @elonmusk No. I am celebrating the 4000+ newly minted millionaires 💰🥳

[solamusing @solamusing]

@EdwardGLuce He is a true renaissance man!

[solamusing @solamusing]

@RobertMSterling I believe he is taking all the money with him to Mars and will be vacationing on the Moon.

[solamusing @solamusing]

@RobertMSterling He should create a Scrooge McDuck swimming pool

[solamusing @solamusing]

@greg16676935420 Because doing it in zero gravity is better?

[solamusing @solamusing]

@JustineBateman She knows. But that doesn’t fit her narrative.

[solamusing @solamusing]

It’s not if. They do have the opportunity to do this for themselves. It takes ambition, innovation, dedication, and grit.

What’s holding people back is the defeatist and jealous rhetoric and attitude fueled some politicians, who have never worked hard for anything or created any value in this world.

[solamusing @solamusing]

@dickclucas I don’t think he will.

[solamusing @solamusing]

@elonmusk can you send Warren, Sanders, AOC et al on the space flight across the galaxies?

This shit is getting exhausting 🥱

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire. This needs to be a wake up call.

[solamusing @solamusing]

@Domsecondus @meikkp Is it hundrednaire or hundredaire?
What about thousandaires?

[solamusing @solamusing]

@lewis_goodall People like you are a grotesque economic, moral, and political scum.

What value have you added to the world?

[solamusing @solamusing]

@ProfMJCleveland Billionaires. They are not at the top anymore.

[solamusing @solamusing]

@elonmusk @shaunmmaguire Trillionaire or bust! Congratulations 🍾

[solamusing @solamusing]

@brivael Wouldn’t it be “tax the 1”? The one and only GOAT!

[solamusing @solamusing]

@SpaceX and @Tesla are making the world a better place! 🚀 🚗 🌱

[Jason Kander @JasonKander]

Really hard to imagine becoming a trillionaire and not wanting to immediately liquidate enough assets to give at least a few hundred billion to organizations making the world a better place.

[solamusing @solamusing]

@JasonKander SpaceX and Tesla are making the world a better place already.

[solamusing @solamusing]

This is how you create and share wealth.

Perhaps @BernieSanders and @SenWarren can learn something from you this instead of frothing at the mouth and scheming ways to confiscate it.

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.
