Congresswoman Elise Stefanik took to the pages of The Wall Street Journal to celebrate Elon Musk’s success after the SpaceX IPO made him the world’s first trillionaire, and to remind readers that only a short while ago Democrats were chastizing Musk for a Hitler salute scandal made up out of thin air. She writes:
SpaceX’s debut as a public company last week shattered all records. It was the largest initial public offering in history, instantaneously minting thousands of millionaires, multiple billionaires and the first-ever trillionaire. The massive windfall reached SpaceX employees across all levels of the company, including dedicated welders, cafeteria staff, technicians and hourly workers. This is the cosmic, life-changing stuff of American dreams and planetary achievement. Elon Musk officially entered the canon of the greatest inventors, builders and capitalists not only of our time but arguably of humankind.
