SpaceX went public this week and, in doing so, made Elon Musk the world’s first trillionaire. In the same swoop, Musk also made over 4,000 of his employees millionaires.
Elon and his employees don’t have that money in a bank. Much of it exists in stock options. What no one can argue is that Elon created more millionaires in a shorter period of time than anyone else in history.
This should have been a moment of celebration for Americans. Musk is a citizen, and his stunning success should have been an inspiration for a generation of potential innovators. Being number one often drives competitors

Bernie and Elizabeth can go chase themselves. What have either of those two communist nitwits ever built?
It they want money, they can try earning it like nearly everyone else has to.

Bernie castigated millionaires until he became one. He's now after billionaires.

I wonder if Musk does all this for just the money. He has a vision and goes about making it happen. The money is secondary to him in my opinion. And the money he makes from these ventures is put to use in creating new ventures. Good for him.

The left declared him an enemy when he bought Twitter and turned it into a non-liberal social platform.

Bernie, Lizard, and the rest of the looting left should cheer up. As their policies continue to devalue the dollar, being a millionaire won't mean so much.

I’m thrilled that thanks to the vision and brilliance of Elon Musk another 4,000 people are millionaires. Instead of bitching about his wealth Sanders and Liawatha should be thanking him for creating such wealth. They and their fellow lefties are greedy, envious SOBs.

Great article. I do have one quibble however. Yes the US government has created millionaires. They just weren't productive and didn't attain that status through innovation, hiring, productivity, and meeting consumer needs. The clintons are an example. Same thing with Obama's. Look at Nancy Pelosi. Anytime someone requires, and gets, regulations that raise huge barriers of Entry to competitors, the people who benefit from that get millions and millions. Not something we should hope for and apparently, we've downplayed this so much that the author of this article hadn't heard that this was the case.

The article failed to list Bernie's accomplishments and how many people he employs.

Elizabeth Warren has no problem stealing racial identities when it benefits her getting into Harvard Law School, or applying for a Professorship there...
Politicians steal people's wealth for Political Power, and Personal Payoffs. It's amazing young heads of mush never ask themselves the question, "Why is it tax rates never go down regardless of what political party is in power?"

Elon Musk terrifies the status quo, the cowards, and the corrupt, in business and government. The smug 'leaders' who get by with platitudes are being chewed up and spit out by new tech, and aggressive bets that show how obsolete they are. So much of industry and finance in this country are like the lesson of Kodak. Leadership pushing down on anything that would require risk, even innovation that makes money, because they would have to answer for possible failures.
Musk made money by working hard to innovate finance with PayPal, then he saw potential with Tesla, then he made his own rockets after Russia would not sell him their rockets. Only Chinese could buy their rockets. Well he bet his own money on SpaceX, and made rockets that changed that industry, AND kept the USA at the front of the Space race, because if we depended on NASA, we would be far behind China right now.
The US auto industry is in deep trouble vs China, but Tesla is strong enough to take them on. The FSD system is becoming a big deal for aging boomers and a new generation that thinks driving is a chore. The Tesla Semi will change trucking completely starting this year, Robots, medical miracles, data centers in space and chip manufacturing in the US instead of Taiwan, all this and more from a guy who takes BIG swings at problems and industries that said none of it could be done. ALL of them have changed radically because of one man. His critics hate him because they can't do what he has done, and he has melted away the power they thought was theirs forever. You can argue with me on all of this, but you can't argue with his results and you can't escape the fact that you will live the rest of your life using his inventions and companies one way or another, regardless of how you feel about him. Oh, don't forget DOGE, Not up to his standards after being mauled by a corrupt congress, but the first REAL cut backs in DC in my life time.
