After SpaceX raised a record $75 billion in its IPO, Musk’s net worth shot up to top $1.1 trillion when the stock began trading Friday, putting him in an economic class of his own.

Combined with his holdings in electric vehicle maker Tesla, as well as other investments and assets, Musk's net worth is now estimated at about $1.1 trillion.

Musk's stake in the rocket and satellite company alone is now estimated at a staggering $690 billion, but it's also a life-changing moment for thousands of workers at the company who hold equity.

Investors who watched Musk help turn Tesla into an automotive giant are now betting he can do the same in space and artificial intelligence, as SpaceX launches the largest IPO in history.

Becka Thompson — Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board Commissioner, data analytics pro, public policy expert, logic teacher and former City Council candidate joins Kenny and Jay.

In this episode, Becka pulls back the curtain on what’s really happening inside Minneapolis city government. From the ongoing struggles of Minneapolis Public Schools and the classroom realities families and teachers face every day, to the wins, headaches, and budget battles at the Minneapolis Park Board, she doesn’t hold back.

She also dives deep into Uptown — the neighborhood’s transformation, its challenges, and what it means for the south side — plus her own hard-earned perspective on running for office in one of the most politically charged cities in America.

If you’re tired of polished soundbites and want the real story from someone who’s been in the trenches of Minneapolis politics, this is your episode. Grab your coffee (or something stronger), pull up a chair, and get ready to get crabby with the facts.

What are we all going to do to celebrate the 250th anniversary for the 4th of July?????

The United States Semiquincentennial,[a] also called the Bisesquicentennial, the Sestercentennial, or the Quarter Millennium, will be the 250th anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence. Festivities will mark various events leading up to the Declaration's anniversary on the 250th Independence Day: July 4, 2026.

Official planning for the celebrations began in 2016 with the congressional, non-partisan United States Semiquincentennial Commission (America250). In 2025, federal resources were diverted to the Donald Trump-aligned White House Task Force on Celebrating America's 250th Birthday (Freedom250) to promote and plan new events. Celebrations began with the United States Army 250th Anniversary Parade on June 14, 2025,[1] with America250 events formally starting on July 3, 2025.
