There should be a list of people who get trolled by Gaucho. That way we can ignore any of their social and political opinions.

Do you not look at who you’re replying to ever? Gaucho is a well known and rather prolific troll that purposely posts outrageous statements just to get people to bite b

That's great and all, but they are paper millionaires. Yes, I get that having stock "valued" at a million still counts. But if they all sold at once, the price would crash and very few of them would still be millionaires. Juuuuuust saying.....
If you could pick between having 100 million dollars worth of spaceX stock or whatever is currently in your 401K, which one would you choose David?

It’s Dave. And I’d take the 350 million in my 401k

I for one, know how this feels, I don’t work for Space X but
I did work for a company in Lafayette whose owner had a vision and created an ESOP program that let a lot of people retire very comfortably. He could have been selfish and kept it to himself but he literally gave 66% of the company to us.

This is fun and all, but until they have freedom to sell, which will probably happen at a much lower price (tell me if my assumption is wrong) and finished paying the cut for taxes, etc, none of them are actually “millionaires”. I hope it works out for everyone but if not vested, not real numbers yet. I speak as someone who had options valued over $100 but the strike price once vested was below $10 ;)

USAID made plenty of millionaires over the years. That was its main purpose.
Yeah thats why people like Rubio advocated for more funding for it, thats why Ivanka Trump was doing work with USAID in the first term.
This is why we are in the shite we are in because of dumb asses like you STILL believing this absolute fricking bullshite thats going on. How in the hell does Elon becoming a trillionaire help you? Also Elon got to where he is because of corporate welfare.

You should get an award for stating something that everyone else already knows but doesn't state since they're simply saying there are several thousand people that now have a financial position they previously did not have.
So intelligent. Edgy, even.

The funny part is people who hate Elon do so because they are told to by people who absolutely don't want more millionaires. So this is more reason to hate him for the dipshits.
