SpaceX Made Over 4,000 New Millionaires Today, Including Very Early Employees, Cafeteria Workers, And Others Who Always Believed In The Company

Well there it is, Elon Musk is a trillionaire. If that makes no sense to you that's because having a TRILLION dollars doesn't make sense. And I'm not even talking in the "eat the rich!" type of way. It's just a number so unfathomably large that it doesn't make sense. Like, having a billion dollars is crazy enough. That number on its own is hard to comprehend. But a trillion dollars? It's lunacy. 

This is the difference between a million and a billion….

I'm scared to see what a trillion looks like, tbh. But it's something to the sort of

1 million seconds is 12 days

1 billion seconds is 30 years

1 trillion seconds is 30,000 years

So yeah, he's levels of rich never before heard of. Pretty sick. It's hard not to write about the world's first trillionaire and not think about poverty and famine and inner city schools falling apart but you can work all that out in your head yourself, I'm not here to discuss such matters. 

But anyway, the real winners? The early employees. 

That's the dream. Get into a company early, work hard when nobody else believes in the company, and then get rich when it succeeds. Can't even imagine how good that must feel.
