  • The most important SpaceX detail nobody is talking about: the lockup is staggered. There is no single 180-day cliff. Insiders get to sell in tiers, starting MUCH earlier than a standard IPO. Here’s exactly when insiders can start selling:
  • @RepLuna
  • @mazemoore
  • @BullTheoryio
  • SpaceX created over 4,400 millionaires today, and many of them are regular working people. They are not executives or founders, they are welders, technicians, machinists, and launch crew, the people who showed up every day and built the rockets with their hands. Around 400 of them are sitting on stakes worth over $100 million each. For context, Google's IPO created roughly 1,000 millionaires. Facebook's created around the same. SpaceX is doing more than four times both of them in a single day. Juan Hernandez is one of them. (pic)

  • Today, I’m releasing never before seen intelligence revealing new evidence of past US government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries, including Ukraine. In support of President Trump‘s Executive Order to end federal funding of dangerous gain of function research around the world, and increase transparency and accountability, ODNI will continue working with partners across the Administration to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain, and what “research” is being conducted. -@DNIGabbard. This is why they came after Tulsi so hard. (video)
