@authormadhulika is in esteemed company with her short story rubbing shoulders with the likes of Jeffery Archer, David Baldacci, Anne Cleaves etc. in the latest issue of Harper's Bazaar (focussing on crime fiction). Read it here: https://t.co/MYROCWVqct
This is WILD!
The most important story coming out of the SpaceX IPO this morning is not the $1.77 trillion valuation but it is about Juan Hernandez (Save this).
Juan is a welder who got a phone call from a friend about a job at a company he had never heard of.
He said yes anyway, showed up, worked there for ten years, rose from the factory floor to supervisor, and held on to 6,500 shares the entire time.
When CBS asked him this morning how much he stands to make at opening, he said approximately $880,000.
Tom Mueller, Musk's very first SpaceX employee, tells a version of the same story.
He met Musk through an amateur rocket club, was convinced to do something exciting, and says it was one of the best decisions he ever made.
In those early days, he says, the team simply believed they were going to change the world and then went ahead and did it.
Juan and Tom are not alone.
SpaceX has approximately 13,000 employees who hold equity and analysts estimate today's IPO will create somewhere between 600 and 1,000 instant millionaires across the workforce from engineers and software developers to machinists, welders, and operations staff.
The engineers and executives at the top of the stack are looking at life changing numbers of a different order entirely.
Senior vice presidents and long tenured rocket engineers with large equity grants are expected to walk away with $10 million to $50 million or more depending on their vesting history.
Gwynne Shotwell, SpaceX's President and COO who has been building this company alongside Musk for over two decades, is expected to become a billionaire on her equity stake alone.
All of that wealth from Juan's $880,000 to Musk's trillion came from the same source.
A group of people who believed that if nobody built a truly reusable rocket, humanity would never leave Earth, and decided that was an unacceptable outcome.
Thank you, @elonmusk for building a company where a welder who didn't know your name in 2016 is worth nearly a million dollars this morning.
@farzyness@openclaw@farzyness can you do a video on how you set it up, what security measures you have put in place, and what are your typical use cases that you're using these for? It would be really great for us to also see, learn, and implement.
If you’re looking to speed up your workflow and think more clearly while you work, Wispr Flow is worth trying.

TESLA'S UNBOXED REVOLUTION: FIRST GLIMPSE OF CYBERCAB ASSEMBLY LINE
Tesla's unboxed manufacturing process is in full swing.
With yellow bots swarming like a sci-fi symphony to slap together Cybercab chassis, suspensions, and bodies in parallel zones instead of the old-school conveyor belt drag.
Gone are the days of linear assembly lines; this modular magic builds sections simultaneously, then snaps 'em together for lightning-fast production.
We're talking front, rear, doors, and interiors all getting love at once, cutting build time by up to 50% and costs by 30% for those sweet $20K Robotaxis.
Elon's masterplan?
Flood the streets with affordable EVs and autonomous rides, turning factories into efficiency beasts.
And that zonal wiring? Key to making it all click without the mess, only Tesla and Rivian are playing at this level.
If this scales, it's game over for legacy auto.
Cheaper, faster, greener wheels incoming. Hype level: Over 9000!
