SpaceX IPO, Epstein Shocker & Austin Metcalf vs Karmelo Anthony’s Parents | PBD #817
"There is roughly 33 employees in SpaceX that when this thing goes public today, they're not executives, they're not C-suites, they're not VPs, they're not directors, they're not even managers. They're just regular employees that will be getting somewhere between $200 to $400 million."
Patrick Bet-David revealed that 33 non-executive SpaceX employees will each receive between $200-400 million when the company goes public at a $1.7 trillion valuation, making it the largest IPO in history. Over 4,400 current employees are expected to become millionaires, with more than 400 earning a minimum of $100 million, rewarding those who stayed with the company through years of failures and near-bankruptcy.

About this episode

Patrick Bet-David and his panel tackled multiple explosive stories in this episode, led by the historic SpaceX IPO set to become the largest in human history at $1.7 trillion. Bet-David revealed that 33 non-executive SpaceX employees will each receive between $200-400 million, with over 4,400 employees becoming millionaires—a vindication for those who stayed through years of near-bankruptcy and failures. The discussion then shifted to a forthcoming book by New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan exposing severe White House dysfunction over the Epstein files. The book details a heated Situation Room confrontation where Dan Bongino erupted at Attorney General Pam Bondi, offering $100,000 cash to prove he didn't leak to ABC News, before storming out and eventually leaving the FBI. The panel analyzed how the book portrays Bondi's handling as catastrophic while vindicating Bongino's character. The episode also covered controversy at Turning Point USA, which admitted using AI-generated audio of deceased founder Charlie Kirk to claim he wanted his wife to lead the organization. Bet-David criticized the move as 'double dumb' that unnecessarily fueled conspiracy theories. Additional topics included the Austin Metcalf murder case and 35-year sentence for his killer, LA Mayor Karen Bass's brother suing the city she leads over Palisades fire failures, California ballot harvesting exposed by James O'Keefe, and the historic NBA Finals comeback where the Knicks overcame a 29-point deficit against the Spurs. Throughout, the hosts debated media narratives, government transparency, and the broader implications of leadership failures across politics and sports.
