text from screenshot that reads: A strong public markets debut for SpaceX would bring generational riches to Wall Street, the company’s employees and, of course, Mr. Musk, who is already the world’s richest person and could become its first trillionaire. Mr. Musk and a SpaceX spokesman did not immediately respond to requests for comment. How closely Mr. Musk is tied with SpaceX was made clearer in the filing. He owns more than 50 percent of the company’s shares outstanding and controls more than 85 percent of the shareholder votes because of a class of super-voting shares, according to the filing. Gwynne Shotwell, SpaceX’s president and chief operating officer, was the only other executive listed in the filing to hold a seven-figure chunk of the super-voting shares. Based on SpaceX’s current $1.25 trillion valuation, Mr. Musk’s ownership stake is worth more than $635 billion.
A screenshot from the New York Times that reads: “Who’s going to be distributing those checks?” Mr. Sanders asked. “Is it going to be Mr. Musk up there deciding how much you guys get? How much I get? How is that going to work?”
Washington Post screenshot that reads: The magistrate judge wrote if the government had told him about the law, it might not have changed his decision to approve the search warrant, but that he had a right to weigh its relevance in advance. Porter said he was unaware of the law. Because it rarely comes into play and he handles a range of legal matters, he said it should not have been surprising to the government that he was unaware of it. During the week of the search of warrant, he wrote, the Justice Department had requested 46 warrants in his court. According to Porter, the Justice Department also did not inform him that Natanson was not the target of the investigation and that he only learned that in subsequent media reports. Porter has said that he had discussions with the Justice Department over two days, including with top agency officials, before he approved the warrant.
