They did it.
SpaceX has now launched more satellites than the rest of humanity, combined, all time.

When most companies' opening remarks during their IPOs were about profit, today it hits something different.
It is hope.
The once-inspiring future that excited us when we were young but that we dropped after growing upβwe have found it again.

SpaceX is a company whose mission is *axiomatically* the love of humanity
To extend the light of consciousness
The power of this kind of love is hard to quantify but clearly makes the impossible far more probable.

Oh yes, I remember that Bond film where the villain decarbonized the auto industry, brought fast internet to everyone on the planet, and helped paralyzed people interact with the world again.

The Falcon 1 is small potatoes now, but reporting on its development is really what got me hooked on @SpaceX. Loved the tales of a bunch of 20 somethings stuck on Kwajalein Atoll trying to make a rocket fly.
The company ended up being one tiny error on the fourth launch from going out of business, but it somehow launched and survived.
Am still so amused by @elonmusk reading rocket books post PayPal and now getting to this point. Seems just about impossible.
Is a shame there has not been a movie made about these times. Hollywood kinda hates Elon and doesn't want to see it made, but it's the ultimate next chapter to The Right Stuff.

Haha this is awesome. Elon agreed to the "greenshoe" IPO option but only if the bankers and team all wore actual green shoes ππ₯
(A "greenshoe" is a standard IPO provision that allows underwriters to sell up to ~15% more shares than originally planned if demand is strong, helping stabilize the stock price in early trading.)

And thank you to the Morgan Stanley trading crew in βMission Controlβ sculpting the debut of $SPCX today.
Here is the moment of first trade.
P.S. Elon finally agreed to the IPO greenshoe optionsβ¦ but only if the bankers all wore green shoes. π
β> Mementos for all.

Last week, I attended the @ElonMusk and Jamie Dimon @SpaceX discussion at J.P. Morgan. Jamie asked Elon how he had changed over the past 20 years as a leader and a person.
Elon's answer wasn't about success. It was about what's next. He said he has learned a lot...has made mistakes and still has much to learn...
Then he added, βI think maybe the future AI will say βnot bad for a humanβ."
Elon, thank you so much for what you've done for humanity. Congrats to you, @Gwynne_Shotwell, @BretWJ, and the entire team. What is even more remarkable... this feels like day one, that you are just getting started.
PS. When people ask "what is the next SpaceX and who is the next Elon?" Simple answer.
There is NO NEXT!!!
Elon Musk is a mensch!

Looking forward to taking our exciting partnership with Nvidia to the next-level
Huge congratulations to the @SpaceX team on a historic IPO debut.
Fueling the next frontier of space and AI. π
NVIDIA's partnership with SpaceX spans nearly a decade, from hand-delivering the world's first #NVIDIADGX-1 supercomputer in 2016 to the custom DGX Spark handoff at Starbase. Together, we've been pushing the boundaries of accelerated computing to help power the future of space exploration.

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.

Very inspiring words from Elon Musk today:
"I always think about this. There are always problems on earth. Thereβs always things that we wish to be better, that we want to solve on Earth, and we should solve them. But there there also has to be things that get you excited about the future β that make you glad to wake up in the morning, because you canβt wait to see what happens next.
Thatβs the future @SpaceX wants to bring to you."
Letβs gooooooπ
