We are texting with national correspondent Morgan Chesky ahead of the USA vs. Paraguay game. Let’s get into it.
Today’s initial public offering for Musk’s SpaceX created out-of-this-world wealth for the tech titan and insiders who’ve been along for the ride. Shares surged as much as 30% in the first few hours of trading, giving the rocket company a market value of more than $2 trillion and making official Musk’s status as the world’s first trillionaire.
