So much for #HardWork! But what propelled him past the #trillion dollar #milestone? Your #410k #pension account! You didn't know? They didn't ask you!

#PensionAccounts are invested in #IndexFunds - usually a safe bet. But #Musk engineered a deal where #SpaceX becomes part of the index quite early. Combined with the high #valuation, that gives him access to a big chunk of the pension accounts.

So he get the #benefits, and you take the #risks!

Wait! What risks?

So when your investing in index funds (except S&P 500), you can't avoid SpaceX stock and the AI financial bubble it seems. It looks like they want to make the SpaceX stock too big and important to fail. We will see if it is enough when the inevitable financial bubble of AI will pop.
