I think https://t.co/lhSENYEvix could be a multi-trillion dollar industry. All you have to do is sleep in the x and shower at the Y. You'll get there, just DOGoodEveryday, and if you need, don't be afraid to dial 211 from anywhere in the US.

1999. ELON MUSK GETS HIS FIRST MILLIONS AND A $1M SUPERCAR... BUT HIS BIGGEST FEAR THAT DAY WASN'T LOSING THE MONEY 7am. a truck stops outside a small apartment and a 27-year-old Musk watches a McLaren F1 roll off the back "there are 62 McLarens in the world and i will own one of them" "it's a million dollars for a car. it's decadent" he'd just sold Zip2 to Compaq for ~$307M. his cut: ~$22M then he says the line that tells you who he is: "just 3 years ago i was showering at the Y and sleeping on the office floor" his fiancée Justine is standing right next to him. a new millionaire with a new supercar. and this is what he's worried about: "my fear is that we become spoiled brats. that we lose a sense of appreciation and perspective" he knew exactly what the money could buy: "i could go and buy one of the islands in the bahamas and turn it into my personal fiefdom" "i'm much more interested in trying to build and create a new company" and he meant it. he put "the great majority" of his net worth into https://t.co/ZQ6M6yThnU, an online bank almost nobody believed in his own words: "it's sort of like a series of poker games" "i haven't gone and taken my winnings... i've just put almost all of it back into the new game" https://t.co/ZQ6M6yThnU became paypal. paypal turned into ~$180M. the $180M went into spacex and tesla. you know the rest and the car? a year later, Peter Thiel in the passenger seat, on the way to pitch Sequoia. Musk floors it. the F1 spins and goes airborne. no insurance. both walk away napkin math: the toy: $1M in 1999. F1s now sell for $20M+. ~20x the chips he pushed back on the table: ~$22M. today: hundreds of billions. four more zeros the island: still just an island the only time he ever cashed out, he bought a car. everything else went back into the game 26 years later the richest man alive sleeps in an airstream. the 27-year-old who was scared of becoming a spoiled brat never let it happen
