Notice how socialists never talk about seizing the wealth of George Soros or any of the other multi-billionaires who bankroll their operations. They would be praising Elon to the sky, and vigorously protecting his wealth, if he were politically on their side.

If she wasn’t working for Elon Gwynne Shotwell would be hailed as an incredible success story and the most powerful woman in aerospace. Instead it’s radio silence from the media

I know how Elon Musk became a trillionaire, but I don't know how Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Nancy Pelosi became millionaires.

🤣🤣

🤣

Elon is now worth a trillion dollars which means Dave Ramsey may actually be okay with him buying a new car at the sticker price.

Congratulations @ElonMusk. Thanks to SpaceX's IPO, he's the first Trillionaire. He didn't TAKE money from anyone. He CREATED wealth. He launched satellites that connect even the poorest, most remote parts of the world. Our world needs more MAKERS like Musk; fewer TAKERS like:

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.

386 days after Elon’s decline and fall… He’s the World’s first trillionaire. The Media truly does suck.

If you submitted an indication of interest for @SpaceX IPO shares, you will need to confirm your indication of interest after the IPO has officially been priced, which is currently expected tomorrow evening (June 11th). Confirming an indication changes your indication to an order to buy shares at the offer price that SpaceX sets. Keep in mind that you will have a short window of time to confirm your indication of interest. Some participating brokerages are saying that public the window may open late in the evening and close as early as 7 AM ET the following morning (June 12). Brokerages should notify you once the window opens with time-sensitive instructions on how to affirm your conditional offer. If you fail to confirm your indication of interest, you will not be allocated any IPO shares. Make sure your account is fully funded so you can purchase the shares you are allocated. You will find out how many IPO shares you have been allocated (if any) the morning of June 12th before the market opens at 9:30 AM ET. NOTE: Exact timing could change for any of these things, so just keep an eye out for an alerts, notifications or emails from your brokerage.

When Governor Wes Moore says he wants a task force on “immigrant rights,” every Marylander should hear the quiet part out loud. He means illegal alien rights. Legal immigrants in our state already enjoy full legal protections, special healthcare programs, education benefits, and pathways to citizenship. They followed the rules. They earned their place. What Moore proposes is something else entirely. It’s a taxpayer-funded committee to expand benefits, shield lawbreakers from federal enforcement, and blur the line between those who obey the law and those who don’t. That’s not compassion. It’s an incentive structure that rewards illegal entry while punishing the taxpayers footing the bill and the legal immigrants who did it the right way. The hypocrisy is staggering. Maryland faces a $3 billion budget deficit, skyrocketing utility bills from failed green energy mandates, and a state government that fails audit after audit and struggles to get you the correct mail-in ballot. Yet Moore’s priority is launching another bureaucracy to advocate for people here unlawfully. Explain to the people of Maryland how a task force on illegal alien rights helps pay for their car registration fees or groceries? We don't need more task forces. We need leadership that will focus on Marylanders. It's time to make Maryland livable again.

In 1985 I made the USA World Championships Gymnastics Team. I placed 3rd at the Trials, my highest placement to date as a young gymnast. At Worlds, on my 8th and final event I fell. It was a devastating fall. I missed a release move and tumbled to the ground. My right foot was stuck while my body spun around the knee. I knew it was bad. I screamed, or thought I did. No one came. It felt like forever on the raised platform, no coach, no trainer, no doctor while I writhed. Eventually my coach realized I wasn't getting back up. They rushed to me. The trainer thought my knee was dislocated and he attempted to push it back in place. It wasn't dislocated though. My femur was broken - we didn't know that yet - and he was pushing bone against bone. My dad joined me in the ambulance. I remember sobbing -- "What am I going to do now? I don't know how to do anything else. This is all I want to do." He cried too. We assumed my career was over. He said: "You can do anything you want to do. You're smart and you can be anything you want to be. You're just getting started." He was right in so many ways. But all I wanted then was to be a gymnast. I was taken to the nearest hospital and rushed into surgery. It was a French speaking hospital and we didn't fully understand what anyone was telling us. When I came out of surgery a doctor who spoke English told us "It was a broken femur. Not her knee." We cheered. We were all so happy. My coaches, my parents, me. Bones often heal better than joints. I left Canada on crutches with a full leg cast. When I got home to Pennsylvania, my doctor changed the cast to a lighter one, with a hinge at the knee. And I went back to the gym. I started training right away. 8 months later, in June 1986, I walked into the arena in Indianapolis for USA Championships. No one thought I'd be there. Everyone thought I was done. Forever. I knew I wasn't done. Not yet. I won. I became the National Champion less than a year after breaking my femur on the world's stage. Never give up. Never.

The car that used to be in my garage is currently in an Earth-Mars elliptical orbit and will be there for at least 10 million years

I asked my Chinese friend what it's like to live in China... He says he can't complain.

90% of engineering disasters trace back to 6 failure modes: 1. Normalization of deviance Small violations of protocol that don't cause failure. They get normalized. Then one day the margin runs out. (See: Challenger, Columbia) 2. Organizational pressure overriding engineering judgment Engineers knew. Management decided anyway. (See: Challenger, 737 MAX) 3. Single point of failure One component. No backup. Catastrophic when it fails. (See: Tacoma Narrows, Chernobyl control rods) 4. Cumulative damage Nothing dramatic. Just slow degradation nobody tracked. (See: every bridge that "suddenly" collapsed) 5. Interface failure Each component works perfectly. They fail where they connect. (See: Mars Climate Orbiter – metric vs imperial) 6. Design outside tested parameters The system was tested at normal conditions. Reality wasn't normal. (See: Deepwater Horizon, Tenerife disaster) Know these. They're recurring.
