Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth. odni.gov/index.php/news…

From @WSJFreeEx via @WSJopinion: Elon Musk officially entered the canon of the greatest inventors, builders and capitalists not only of our time but arguably of humankind. What a time to be alive. What an extraordinary era to build, writes @EliseStefanik. on.wsj.com/4egINPn

JUST IN: Elon Musk is now worth more than Bitcoin's entire market cap. Elon Musk: $1.4 trillion Bitcoin: $1.3 trillion

Super stuff. Do listen to him. The points he makes are 👌👌👌

🚨 BREAKING: BILLIONAIRE RON BARON SAID LIVE ON CNBC: "SPACEX IS GOING TO BE WORTH $10T, $20T, AND $30T, AND I COULD BE VERY LOW." THIS MAN BOUGHT THE 2008 CRASH AND CONTROLS OVER $53 BILLION IN ASSETS HE DEFINITELY KNOWS SOMETHING!!

Ron Baron said today that he bought $1 billion of @SpaceX IPO shares last Friday, and said that all of Baron Capital's $SPCX holdings are now worth $25 billion. "I think we're going to make hundreds of billions of dollars; If you read the prospectus, you realize what they (SpaceX) have done is not possible for anyone else to accomplish. He's trying to save humanity" Full video linked below:

Elon Musk came to the US with no money & graduated with over $100k in debt, despite scholarships & working 2 jobs while at school. Today, he’s worth $1.1 trillion.

Elon Musk in this 2012 interview: " My proceeds from PayPal after tax were about $180M, $100M of that went into SpaceX, $70M into Tesla, and $10M into SolarCity and I literally had to borrow money for rent." $SPCX $TSLA

Elon Musk isn't the only one getting richer from SpaceX going public. The stock’s surge is estimated to have turned about 4,400 current and former employees into millionaires through equity compensation accumulated during their time at the company. SpaceX’s long-awaited IPO raised a record $75 billion, valuing the company at roughly $1.8 trillion. The offering also pushed Musk’s estimated net worth past the $1 trillion mark, further cementing his position as the world’s richest person. Now Wall Street is watching to see whether the stock's early trading can drive SpaceX’s valuation even higher, rewarding employees and investors who backed the company during its rise.

If you're wondering how Elon Musk will become the world's first trillionaire today. This interview is pre-iPhone.

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.

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.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 Eric Trump just dropped a bombshell at The Bitcoin Conference: "The US government holds 300,000 BTC and will not sell it." "The middle east is using energy from cities that they don't need to...mine bitcoin." "The suppression of bitcoin is unbelievable." 👀
