Before electricity and railroads in the 1800's, life was roughly indistinguishable from life a thousand years ago.

Musk has a tall task ahead of him to match or beat that...but, who knows?

With Starbase in Boca Chica, Solar panel manufacturing in Bastop and proposed Terafab in Grimes County, I'm thinking Kyle Field at X Stadium has a nice ring to it.

Just think, Bernie and the dems could kill Musk, confiscate his wealth(the richest man in the world) and almost cover the budget deficit for this year. If you killed all our billionaires you might drop our debt down to 39 trillion.

---

Problem is if you killed Musk the value of his companies would plummet. He is a truly unique human. If you listen to the most successful CEO's talk about meeting with him it's like Matt Damon in Good Will Hunting when his prof with the Fields Medal talks about him. He makes them all feel like idiots but only a handful of people in the world are even smart enough to understand just how brilliant he is. He sees the forest and the trees at an elite level and has a deep understanding of philosophy, it's easy to understand why some people joke he doesn't seem human.

Elon Musk is a national treasure. His purchase of Twitter has been the single largest boost for free speech since the Bill of Rights. His DOGE discovery of the rampant fraud in government should have a huge impact. Self driving cars, reusable rockets, cheaper launches, data centers in space, Optimus robots building a moon base, colonizing Mars, Nuralink, Starlink and I'm sure I'm leaving out many more accomplishments and objectives.

---

He's also a conspiracy loon and an awful human being.

---

Not sure what he's done to you, but do you have any examples of one of his conspiracies?

---

And why would that even be relevant? Most of the conspiracies I believed in have since come true. Maybe he believed in these same historical facts.

---

Hes an awful human because he save the Bill Of Rights and free speech by taking over and surfacing the Democrat propaganda machine, and showed that America is still the land of amazing opportunity.

People who hate America, hate Elon. Unsurprisingly.

---

But, but, but...the nazi salute!!!

---

And in Maine the Dems elected an actual Nazi with an SS death head tattoo on his chest, in the last primary.

Can't make this up.

---

But is he a conspiracy loon?

That's what makes this fascinating. Technology is altering life exponentially, and Elon is at the forefront of it, building/backing one disruptive technology after another.

That's more money than I make all year!

It's such a stupid left wing thing to hate what others have earned. Who gives a **** how much Elon makes? If he does it legally, more power to him. It's not a zero-sum game. What he earns does nothing to prevent how much I can earn.

Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire.

With SpaceX
opening on the Nasdaq at $150 a share Friday, his stake in the company is worth more than $766 billion. Combined with his Tesla stake, which is worth $280 billion, Musk's net worth from both companies as of Friday is roughly $1.05 trillion.

The SpaceX IPO added more than $180 billion to Musk's fortune. He's now worth more than the next five richest billionaires in the world combined. His personal net worth is larger than the national GDPs of Taiwan, Ireland or Sweden.

Musk's coronation as the first person in history to be worth $1 trillion is likely to add fuel to the debate over wealth inequality and the rise in power and wealth of America's richest tech founders.

Someone should make an AI video of Bernie Sanders but now have him rail against billionaires and trillionaires.

I've been Thinking about your last comment since Clay & Buck brought it up a few minutes ago (whichever one's on the air today). This is an unfathomable amount of wealth. This post really isn't about policy, it's about understanding truly how much money thi is.

If Elizabeth Warren's 2% wealth tax went into effect, poor Elon would only have $1,029,000,000,000. I keep pointing people to this website: https://eattherichtextformat.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/ But I want to try another tact, so I had AI run some numbers for me. I put in my dream life.

Let's play Brewster's Millions. Pretend you're 18 and someone hands you just ONE billion dollars one one-thousandth of Elon money. And I want to spend it lavishly, but not stupidly. . Just everything I could think that me or my hypothetical family could want.

First, i invest it about as cautiously as a human being can 3.5% a year, the kind of safe, boring return that barely outruns inflation. Then I started spending.

Three homes outright ($25 to $30 million. plus a few million to furnish them): a Hill Country estate, a place on Lake Tahoe, a beach house in Florida. A dozen-plus cars ($2.5) across all three. A small plane ($5) to get around Texas. A boat for the lake. A wine cellar, a bourbon collection, golf memberships, the works. Blow out wedding with Harry Connick, Jr (for the wife). Call it all about $50 million, and now I am done with the big stuff.

Three kids private school straight through the most expensive colleges, Disney trips, every ATV and toy they could want, extravagant birthday parties. Annual trips all over the world. You fly the family first class around the world. Aggie Football suite, and any other concert or sporting event. You gamble big enough that the casino sends a personal host and comps the suite. $5 million check to charity every year, for the rest of my life. Insurance. Wife has a million a year.

Add all of that up and you're spending somewhere around $18 to $20 million a year, every year, trying my best to absolute best to enjoy it.

That conservatively-invested billion throws off about $33 million a year in interest. Even after $8 million a year in income taxes, i am still not actively spending the original billion. I'm not even even actively spending the all of the interest. Even after a lifetime of mansions, private jets, monthly parties, three thoroughly spoiled kids, and tens of millions handed to charity I would still die with more than I started. .

And that's ONE billion.

Elon has a THOUSAND of them. A thousand of the exact thing you couldn't reasonably exhaust in a lifetime of dedicated, joyful, creative spending.

Someone on this board is going to say that I am envious of his wealth. It's not envy, its the reality of a world were one many has so much more than he needs that it is almost impossible to fathom.

And that scary 2% wealth tax everyone clutches their pearls over? .The tax wouldn't slow him down enough to notice.

Go to this website. Scroll the whole way to the end. Try to fathom how much money a trillion is if a single pixel is $1,000.

https://eattherichtextformat.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/

And I didn't even get to the part were DOGE did a great job dismantling all of the regulatory agencies overseeing his companies.

Have you met a democrat though? It's never enough. Someone shouldn't be penalized for being smart and successful. They should be rewarded.
It's all by design to get the sheeple to vote dem by making rich people to be the boogie man.

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.

Amazing.

And the left is losing their minds over this because they desperately want to paint the American dream as an impossibility. Thus the need for big daddy federal government to protect everyone from the big bad capitalists.

These SpaceX employees just prove that with hard work and smart investing, great things can happen. It also proves that when innovator/entrepeneurs like Musk succeed, countless others prosper as well. The rising tide lifts all boats.

The American dream is alive and well, and the Marxist leftists hate it with a passion because it proves how wrong their ideas and policies are for the citizens of this country.

---

Thank goodness the guy above and all the other workers did not listen to the naysayers like some on this thread. Whether or not SpaceX becomes the next Nvidea, Google or Apple or instead goes the way of Enron, Lehman Bros., Toys R Us or Blockbuster, one single ipo just made thousands of new millionaires from their blue collar and white collar workforce. An amazing feat.

People who spend their time worrying about what other people think about them never do anything. Because worrying about what other people think paralyzes you and makes you change your behavior for some perception instead of doing what needs to be done.



Reminds me of this:

By the way, what have you done that's so great? Do you create anything, or just criticize others' work and belittle their motivations?"

-- Steve Jobs in response to criticism, Walter Isaacson in his book Steve Jobs



Or

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again … who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

-- Theodore Roosevelt

They are stupid because other people making that much money has no effect on what they're doing. But they think they should get a part of it.

Elon has literally made some of the "little people" millionaires and the left is still pissed about it

Go figure.

Rich/wealthy hate is rooted in envy.
Their own glutinous and simultaneously slothful lifestyle has a lustful envy about it that leads to their wrath. It's nothing to be prideful about, but they are. They greedily want what the producer has made.
