To prove I have skin in the game, and to make this site a little more fun, I bought about one share each of Tesla and SpaceX on October 19, 2026, the morning Musk announced the share-for-every-kid pledge. They're the "website shares," tracked here live over time so you can watch them go up and down along with everyone else's.
I may own more stock someday, but that's my own business and won't be reported here. This table is just the two website shares.
