Love this. Juan Hernandez immigrates to the US, learns how to weld because it pays well, begins contracting at SpaceX, gets full time role + $10,000 equity.
It’s now worth just under a million dollars.
Positive users hail the SpaceX welder's $10K equity stake nearing $1M as the American dream, while negative users criticize him for leaving for Blue Origin or claim the job should have gone to an American.

@Discoplomacy Buried the lede - he is now a welder at Blue Origin. Will make bank again in 10 years. Perfected the craft 😂

@Bagons1776 @Discoplomacy And there’s plenty of American workers that will get mad rich with SpaceX as well.

@Discoplomacy Nice story, but it should've been an American worker.

@Discoplomacy fuck him for leaving for blue origin, tbh

@Discoplomacy A job that should've gone to an American, stolen yet again.

@Discoplomacy It should have been an American.

@Discoplomacy SpaceX is the American dream.

@snr_boost @Discoplomacy Nah he’s just burnt out from Elon companies and wants to work at bezos “party at st Barth on yacht all year” pace, which is much slower than musk “sleeps in the office” pace

@Discoplomacy Democrats want to seize that so California can lay 3 centimeters of slow-speed rail from Fresno to Fresno

@Discoplomacy > He now works as a welder on Blue Origin's rocket-launch site.
et tu Juan???

@Discoplomacy

@HowardRoark90 @Discoplomacy Yeah how dare he work for a company that pays him more?

@LxGnzlz @Discoplomacy @elonmusk Seethe and cope

@Discoplomacy Juan Hernandez working mad overtime on Blue Origin rocket pad now.

@Discoplomacy Which was only allowed because @elonmusk prioritized cutting corners on every single fucking this he’s ever done.

@rhyzerino @snr_boost @Discoplomacy Lol blue origin going to have a space x scale IPO? Go ahead and tell that to the people who bought shares of rivian and lucid 😂😂😂😂

@HowardRoark90 @Discoplomacy I doubt he would have left SpaceX for a paycut. He seems too high IQ for that. but that’s just speculation on my end

@AstrusDastan @Discoplomacy I just don’t like Bezos 🤷♂️
Doubt they pay him more tho

@Discoplomacy Bro is running it back at Blue Origin 😂😂😂
