My First Million
The most simplified breakdown of the SpaceX IPO on the internet
"Shout out to the Ontario's— Ontario, Canada Teachers' Pension Fund, which in 2019 decided, you know what, we're gonna slang an investment into SpaceX back before SpaceX was pretty obvious, and they're gonna make $12 billion this year., and in the, in the IPO, which, you know, more than funds their pension. It's, you know, $33,000 per teacher that's in the, in the fund."
The Ontario Teachers' Pension Fund invested in SpaceX in 2019 before its dominance was obvious and will realize $12 billion from the IPO, equating to $33,000 per teacher in the fund. The irony is heightened by Ontario's reported boycott of Musk despite the massive windfall.
