ThoseArn'tPillows

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.

@BernieSanders " Ruling class destroying the fabric of society" Really? WOW! What part is ruining society : Clean electric cars? Space becoming affordable? Providing Internet access where there was none? Helping people with severe medical issues? Advocating for free speech? Unbiased Ai ?

@maziehirono "War" is ending and a major threat to the middle east will lose it's power. Prices have come down since your fake covid scam and supply chain disasters. We are all better when you aren't doing your fuc**** job of screwing up capitalism.

Americans don't want a UFC arena. We want lower prices. We want to end this illegal war. And we want Trump to do his f****** job.

@ewarren Don't want to hear it from someone who is in part responsible for spending our Social Security, unable to balance a budget, raising inflation, destroying the value of the dollar, creating record debt. You have NO standing to lecture anyone about fiscal issues. NONE

Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire. This needs to be a wake up call.

@RobertGarcia His evidence? Reporter told him

Now we know Vice-President Vance has been helping lead the Epstein cover-up from the Situation Room. The VP owes the survivors and the American people answers.

@SenSanders Because there's a difference between income and net worth. The only way to make Social Security solvent is spending cuts. Any "wealth tax" will be absorbed by debt and Americans won't see a penny

Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500. If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.

@SenWarren His assets not his wealth Big Difference! Quit trying to flame the fires of wealth envy. It's really a tired argument. The Government spends a trillion every 60 days. Don't hear you complaining about that

Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire. The typical American household would have to work more than 11 MILLION years to make Elon Musk's level of wealth. We need a wealth tax.

@GuntherEagleman Iran has tons of enriched uranium. There should be no deal that allows them to keep it. That's what I'm paying attention to. If it's Iran "pinky swears" and keeps the Uranium then this was all a waste.

🚨 TRUMP DROPS IRAN DEAL BOMBSHELL FROM THE OVAL OFFICE! Deal could be SIGNED as soon as THIS WEEKEND in Europe, with JD VANCE heading over for the ceremony! BIGGEST WIN: Iran has FULLY AGREED, NO NUCLEAR WEAPON. EVER. x.com/nicksortor/sta…

@dcsheriff If it's on our streets it should be licensed, insured and be operated with a licensed driver. Any other time they should be pulled over and the vehicle impounded.

We hear you and now we want you to hear us. Public safety is our top priority. High-powered electric dirt bikes are not traditional e-bikes. Certain models can reach speeds up to 75 mph and are increasingly being ridden by young, inexperienced riders in places where they are not legally permitted. Calls for service and serious injury incidents are rising. Our goal is to educate families, prevent injuries, and avoid tragedy before it happens. Please help us spread the word and keep our community safe.

@EricLDaugh She's partially right : If he was white it wouldn't be 35 years and parole after 17. It would be life without parole as it should have been.

🚨 WTF?! Rep. Jasmine Crockett just DEFENDED Karmelo Anthony's murder of Austin Metcalf: "He simply didn't want to be put out in the rain by some random kid." "One time, 2 inches. He didn't stab him 5, 6, 7 times..." Q: If Anthony was white? CROCKETT: He wouldn't get a 35-year sentence. I GUARANTEE you. I don't even think he would've been convicted! If a white boy would have said that they were afraid of a black boy. Something tells me that that jury that didn't have any black people on it, they would have believed him!

@AwakenedOutlaw Added bonus : Celebrity tears

@DefiantLs "Sitting President" Wasn't Clinton President during that time? Interesting...

Jennifer Welch: "There is credible information in the Epstein Files by a 13-year-old girl, she claims under oath that she was assaulted by the sitting president."

@dom_lucre God I love celebrity tears more than anything. These "shots" of famous people never fail to get me rooting for the other team.

🔥🚨LATEST: Some of the biggest celebrities in Hollywood have been spotted at Game 4 of the NBA finals.

@CollinRugg I say go ahead and pay it. The dollar will finally collapse and we can all make art with money and litter our streets with it. At least that will end the Fed, illegals will return home, the Gov. will go broke and our only hope would be to go back to gold backed currency.

NEW: Democrat Rep. Summer Lee says black Americans will stop voting if they start thinking they will never be paid reparations for slavery. "We fight for reparations because it’s owed us. It is owed us," Lee said. "If you believe that you're never gonna get reparations from the system, then you tap out. And you don't just tap out of the conversation, you tap out of the system. You don't wanna vote anymore."

@Fat_Electrician 2032 the exact year I'm eligible. 50 years of paying gone and Dems talk about new taxes for spending even more? Republicans can't cut back. They won't agree to modest cuts in spending. It's like a drug addicted relative. You loan them money and they break in and steal from you.

Not what “happens” what happened. Your money is given to the generation before you. People think the government has it in a savings account for them. They don’t and never have. Completely unrelated heres the definition of Ponzi scheme: fraud that pays existing investors with funds collected from new investors.

@TMZ They sent the same U-Haul that delivered the extra ballots

😅 Jimmy Kimmel trolls Spencer Pratt, rents him a U-Haul to leave L.A. after election loss. Credit: ABC

@ThoughtCrimes80 Sometimes forgiving is the only way to release your own pain. It doesn't mean forgetting or pretending it never happened. It's more about not letting the anger and resentment from eating you alive.

What’s the trick to forgiving people who have done unforgivable things?

@X22Report I've been screaming this for months. The Dems will nuke the fillabuster on day 1. Get ahead of it and push through the agenda

After two failed attempts to attach the Save America Act to the Senate immigration bill — Republican Senator Susan Collins has now signaled she is willing to bring the original Save America Act to the floor. If Collins flips, Thun must remove the filibuster. The D's will remove it the moment they get back in power anyway. The time for baby steps is over. The election integrity law must be passed.

@nicksortor Defending yourself requires reasonable and a proportional response. If you are slightly shoved you can't reply with a knife into the chest. That's not self-defense that's MURDER. OH and "words" no matter how offensive is not an excuse for violence. It's called "civil"ization

🚨 MORE AGITATORS are showing up here outside the courthouse following Karmelo Anthony’s GUILTY verdict They’re calling for blacks to handle white people EXACTLY like Karmelo “Anytime a white man or white child can go and put their hands aggressively on anybody and something like this occur, it's SELF-DEFENSE!” “You put your hand on me and see how I respond. Beat your MOTHERF—KING ASS!” “That young boy, he was DEFENDING his godd*mn self!”

@RoKhanna When Dems receive 10s of thousands of votes with NO opposition party votes, what do you call it? It's statistically impossible but you go on with your self delusion. Don't let facts stop you.

A close friend of mine is cancelling his voter registration today. He is convinced Spencer Pratt was robbed of the election. I explained to him that in California we count absentees first (which skew older and more conservative) and election day voters are younger and more Democratic. The slow count is largely because of policies to maximize participation, including postmarking a ballot on Election Day. Regardless, we need to figure out in California how we can get the vote counted faster and results tabulated so it does not drag on. We should make the investments in operational improvements and resources in the wealthiest state in the nation. It is worth spending the resources to get the vast majority of the vote counted within 48 hours. Right now the system is eroding trust and spawning conspiracy theories.
