Elon Musk may never colonize Mars as promised, but enough investors consider the SpaceX founder to be a sort of miracle man that they’ll help him reach another fantastic goal Friday when he takes the rocket company public.

The world’s richest man is set to become its first trillionaire.

Musk on Friday marked the opening of trading on Nasdaq, where the company’s shares will be listed, by joining a ceremonial bell ringing from Starbase, the South Texas home of SpaceX.

So since he's driven away anyone that ever had a positive thought about him, who do you think gets it all when he inevitably gets guillotined or kirked?

The explosion of loot flying around when he gets 360 no scoped will lag the whole world for a few seconds.

There should be a world wide party at his expense. It would be about $125 for every person on earth.

What is going on? The news about a week ago is that SpaceX was rejected but today I'm seeing this? Were they unrelated things?

Nothing special about this loser unless you consider being the greatest wealth hoarder in history special.
