Elon Musk made history when shares for his rocket company, SpaceX, blasted off in its initial public offering on Friday, making him the world\u2019s first trillionaire and sending livid Democrats into orbit.<\/p>\n

Shares in the company achieved launch trajectory after hitting the market on the Nasdaq, rising by more than 19 percent as investors rushed to get in on the action, opening at $150 a share and climbing to around $176 before finishing at $161 a share. It was a banner day for Musk and SpaceX, which now has a market value of $2.1 trillion.<\/p>\n

It was the largest IPO ever.<\/p>\n

As if Democrats didn\u2019t already despise the former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) boss enough, his historic feat of becoming a trillionaire infused their hatred with rocket fuel, and they raged against him on social media.<\/p>\n

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) led her fellow leftist lawmakers down the warpath with \u201cPocahontas\u201d raging in a video posted to X.<\/p>\n

\u201cElon Musk just became the world\u2019s first trillionaire. This needs to be a wake up call,\u201d she cried.<\/p>\n

The fake Injun also used the opportunity to reiterate her call for a wealth tax.<\/p>\n

The typical American household would have to work more than 11 MILLION years to make Elon Musk\u2019s level of wealth.<\/p>\n

We need a wealth tax.<\/p>\n

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani echoed Warren\u2019s call to soak the wealthy, a theme of his campaign.<\/p>\n

Not to be outdone, avowed socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) issued a statement huffing that \u201cour democracy\u201d is being imperiled by Musk becoming a trillionaire.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur democracy cannot survive when one man, who contributed $290 million to get Trump elected, becomes $700 billion richer since Trump\u2019s election,\u201d he fumed, adding, \u201cThis is not just about wealth. It\u2019s about power. Musk and his fellow oligarchs want it ALL.\u201d<\/p>\n

Comrade Bernie\u2019s fellow \u201coligarchy\u201d fighter, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), also went off in a typically dumb take in which she brought up inhalers, which have nothing to do with the proverbial price of rice in China.<\/p>\n

\n

But taxing wealth so normal people can afford to see a doctor and not go bankrupt over inhalers is radical left. OK https:\/\/t.co\/ajaujDXEau<\/a><\/p>\n

The Democratic Party\u2019s 2028 front-runner, Gavin Newsom, also got in on the action, previewing his White House campaign.<\/p>\n

\n

Americans are struggling to pay for groceries and gas while Elon Musk becomes a TRILLIONAIRE.<\/p>\n

When the federal government is for sale, the rich get richer and everyone else gets shafted.<\/p>\n

The system is rigged.<\/p>\n

Musk is worth more than South Africa\u2019s GDP. @BernieSanders<\/a> and I proposed a 5% tax on people like him.<\/p>\n

In one year, it could fund:

\n-$10\/day childcare
\n\u2013 Special-needs education nationwide<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the IPO just made SpaceX employees very wealthy.<\/p>\n

\n

Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day.<\/p>\n

400 of them are now worth over $100 million.<\/p>\n

These aren\u2019t VCs. They\u2019re SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/tc2LuK7Gd7<\/a><\/p>\n
