    "excerpt": "For the welders, machinists, and launch engineers who traded years of below-market pay for SpaceX stock, Friday was the day the gamble paid off. The company's record-breaking IPO is expected to turn more than 4,400 current and former employees into millionaires, well beyond its founder. Tom Mueller built the rockets that made the company possible, hired as its very first employee in 2002. He left in 2020 but kept his shares. Musk always told staff that their salary mattered less than their equity, Mueller recalled, and \"that day has come\".\nJuan Hernandez left Mexico and learned welding for the pay, joining the company in 2015 at $28 an hour, then collected $10,000 in stock and continued to buy more through payroll. He sold some in 2020 for a house in Texas, and his remaining shares are worth about $880,000. Launch engineer Trevor Hise gathered more than 100,000 shares over 12 years, now valued at at least $13.5 million. Gavin Petit accepted an early allocation at $13.80 a share, held about 50,000 shares, and paid off his house in Denver. J. André Lavoie, who received his allocations years ago, holds more than $28 million while renovating a hotel in Italy.
