This is Juan Hernandez.
He took a $28 an hour welding job at SpaceX in 2015.
He says he didn’t even know what the company was.
Today he’s worth $880,000.
This is who the SpaceX IPO actually paid out. https://t.co/D9JC2fFF6G
Shruti (@heyshrutimishra): Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day.
400 of them are now worth over $100 million.
These aren’t VCs. They’re SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce
