I've read somewhere that even some janitors / lunch ladies became millionaires from their shares. Looking then at the great performance of some other stocks, I really wonder where we're headed

I would be surprised if janitors get shares. This is Musk we’re talking about.

Spacex gave lots of low level employees stocks. Either on top of, or as a payroll deduction ESPP.

I’ve never worked at any large company where janitors/cleaning staff were employees. Usually that kind of work is contracted out.

Something like ~500 new millionaires is what i've read on x.

It was actually 4500, but that was at the $135 price. With it having gone up 40% that number might now be more like 6500.
