Let me know when the typical American household lands a fucking rocket.

[Brigitte Gabriel @ACTBrigitte]

💥Newsom. Sanders. Warren. Three politicians. Zero companies built. Combined wealth funded by lobbyists and donor cash.

Elon Musk dominated in: Payments. Cars. Energy. Space. Social Media. Communications. AI

He didn't just succeed he made America stronger.
And that's exactly why they hate him.

Russia sold Elon Musk three broken rockets for $8 MILLION and laughed him out of the room. He went home and built SpaceX. It went public today at $1.8 TRILLION and made him the first trillionaire in human history.

– In 2002 Musk flew to Russia to buy an old ICBM missile to send a greenhouse to Mars.

– The Russians thought he was a joke. They quoted him $8 MILLION per rocket and dismissed him entirely.

– On the flight home he opened a spreadsheet and calculated he could build the rocket cheaper himself. He had never built a rocket in his life.

– SpaceX was founded with $100 MILLION of his own money from selling PayPal.

– Most of the aerospace industry gave it two years before it collapsed.

– The first three rockets exploded. By 2008 he was nearly bankrupt. Tesla was also failing at the same time. He had one launch left.

– The fourth rocket worked. NASA noticed. They handed SpaceX a $1.6 billion contract within months.

– Today SpaceX priced its IPO at $135 per share targeting a $1.8 TRILLION valuation.

– The largest IPO in human history. Bigger than Saudi Aramco. Bigger than anything.

– Musk's net worth crossed $1 TRILLION today. The first human being in history to reach that number.

– He controls over 82% of SpaceX's voting power post IPO and cannot sell a single share for one year.

– The same Nasdaq that has listing rules waived them specifically for SpaceX, dropping it immediately into index funds.

– Millions of people's retirement savings now own SpaceX stock whether they chose to or not.

The Russians who laughed him out of that room in 2002 work for an economy worth $2 TRILLION.

The company he built out of embarrassment is now worth $1.8 TRILLION on its own. He did it in 24 years starting with a spreadsheet on a flight home.

Elon employs ~160,000 Americans and in one morning created thousands of millionaires…

You have done nothing for America.

[Brigitte Gabriel @ACTBrigitte]

Elon Musk was born in South Africa but SpaceX, Tesla, and Neuralink were born in America.

Talent is the seed. Capitalism is the soil. There is no other country on earth that grows it like this.

That's uniquely American 🇺🇸

[Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman]

Most people look at @elonmusk and see money.

I see a man who refused to accept the limits of what everyone else thought was possible.

He didn’t spend his life chasing comfort.

He spent it chasing the future.

While others were looking at the ground, he was looking at the stars.

He reminds every kid in America that the biggest dreams are often the ones worth chasing.

Dream bigger.

Work harder.

Ignore the doubters.

The future belongs to the people willing to build it!

Congratulations to @elonmusk and the SpaceX team. You did what countless people said was impossible, and you did it time and time again.

Today is your day. You deserve this. May it be a glorious one.

SpaceX just landed a Falcon 9 booster, and Elon Musk's live reaction was more human than anyone expected.

"It's standing up. It's coming in. It sounded like an explosion. Look at this. Look at this. It's just sitting there. Holy smokes, man."

[Commentary Donald J. Trump Posts From Truth Social @TrumpDailyPosts]

🚨Elon Musk just rang the NASDAQ opening bell. SpaceX is now officially public!

This will make Musk the world’s first trillionaire.

Absolute legend.

History is being made right now. 🔥

BREAKING: Elon Musk's full speech ahead of SpaceX IPO

[Fox News @FoxNews]

BREAKING: Elon Musk has become the world's first trillionaire.

After SpaceX raised a record $75 billion in its IPO, Musk’s net worth shot up to top $1.1 trillion when the stock began trading Friday, putting him in an economic class of his own.

Combined with his holdings in electric vehicle maker Tesla, as well as other investments and assets, Musk's net worth is now estimated at about $1.1 trillion.

Musk's stake in the rocket and satellite company alone is now estimated at a staggering $690 billion, but it's also a life-changing moment for thousands of workers at the company who hold equity.

Investors who watched Musk help turn Tesla into an automotive giant are now betting he can do the same in space and artificial intelligence, as SpaceX launches the largest IPO in history.
