Elon Musk got away with starving millions. Now he wants his trillion.
SpaceX filed its S-1 prospectus with the SEC on Thursday. The company is seeking a valuation of $1.75 to $2 trillion, share sale expected June 11, ticker SPCX. If it prices anywhere near the top, Elon Musk becomes the first trillionaire in recorded human history.
The name on the filing is SpaceX. The name we should be reading is Elon Musk. He has become a human meme stock, destroyer of worlds.
In October 2024, on Tucker Carlson’s show—a dive for liars, hosted by the returning champion—Carlson opened with a question that contained a threat: If Trump loses, you’re f**ked, dude.
Musk agreed. How long do you think my prison sentence is going to be?
From a man who runs neck-and-neck with Donald Trump in the lying-and-fraud standings, this was some unusual honesty: he was staring at $2.37 billion in federal legal exposure, as the Senate would later estimate — the FAA, the DOJ, the CFPB, the NLRB, the whole alphabet of accountability — and doing the math out loud. And those were just the exposures we know about. Imagine what Elon Musk knows about what Elon Musk has done. And this is before he sentenced at least 750,000 humans, mostly kids, to death.
Elon spent $291 million to elect Trump, far more if you include Twitter, and the decade of impeccably filthy but effective PR he converted into a presidential campaign the moment he bought it. Trump won. Every investigation quietly disappeared.
His net worth has roughly doubled since Election Day, driven by the SpaceX valuation that became official Thursday.
$291 million in. A trillion dollars out. The Senate called it a conflict of interest.
Call it whatever you want. I call it the Trillionaire Kill Chain.
This new project — first a podcast, then a documentary — maps a seven-stage attack on American democracy built on fifty years of work by people who decided democracy was incompatible with their politics, and what every billionaire learned from watching the one man who finally proved them right.
Help Stop the Trillionaire(s)
Most people have no idea what Musk actually did in 2024. I mean no idea in the deep sense. Because if they did, they’d be freaking out about what he’s about to do in 2026 — the same thing, but worse, with dozens of billionaires behind him who watched how Elon rode Trump’s back and want their trillion too.
I thought I knew what Elon did in 2024. I knew Citizens United. I knew dark money. I knew about his “false flags.” I thought that was enough. It wasn’t, and the gap between what I knew and what had actually been constructed, over fifty years of narrow rulings and split FEC votes, was the gap through which $291 million passed without anyone’s permission being required.
The framework is a cybersecurity model from Lockheed Martin: a kill chain maps how sophisticated attacks actually work — not as single events but as sequences, Reconnaissance through Actions on Objective, each stage predicated on the last, each one harder to interrupt than the one before it, the whole architecture only stoppable if you can name the stage you’re in.
Episode One maps Stage One, Reconnaissance, with campaign finance attorneys from the Campaign Legal Center: the permission structure that handed Musk the keys goes back to 1976, runs through five decades of incremental rulings, and arrived at an advisory opinion — requested not by a Republican PAC but by a Texas Democratic group asking about door-knocking — that decided coordinating directly with campaigns on canvassing wasn’t, technically, coordination. Musk was standing there with $291 million when they ruled.
SpaceX is now the only American company that can reliably reach the International Space Station. Starlink is the only satellite internet operating in active war zones. The government cannot sanction what the government depends on. He built that leverage through two decades of federal contracts and political spending, each reinforcing the other, until $2.37 billion in exposure disappeared and the IPO arrived.
And the gap between what was legal and what was happening was wider than the filings show. Ashley St. Clair — a former MAGA influencer who shares a child with Musk — posted a TikTok this week describing what she saw from the inside.

She claims Musk sent her internal America PAC data during the final stretch of the campaign: real-time vote metrics she described as far beyond anything produced by standard campaign door-knocking operations. On election night at Mar-a-Lago, she says he texted her after leaving early: I knew hours ago that Trump won. My team has the best real-time data anywhere. “How do you have real-time data on elections?” she says she asked him. The question is the right one. A $171 million super PAC built a voter-contact and data operation that nobody has fully mapped. It’s an operation that would have almost certainly been illegal before the FEC's quiet 2024 advisory opinion.
How we win
We cannot give back the millions who will die because he gutted USAID. We cannot recover the good that could have been done with the taxes he should have paid. Those losses are permanent, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something.
What we can do is spend the rest of our lives making sure he becomes the cautionary tale for all time.
This is not the 1% versus the 99%. It is one man and his imitators against 8.3 billion of us. He may be the first. We must make sure he is the last.
We used to debate whether billionaires should exist (they shouldn’t). Now every person of good faith has to say it plainly: democracy cannot survive even one trillionaire.
Theodore Roosevelt named this threat in 1910, before 30,000 people in a field once soaked in blood. It took 114 years for someone to prove him right.
The proof is now filed with the SEC under the ticker SPCX.
