With SpaceX’s IPO, the Asian-American woman Guo Can, who went viral online, has become a sensation—just how much is she worth now? At age 27, Guo Can serves as a Starship launch control engineer at SpaceX, holding the authority to terminate launches, backed by a strong engineering master’s degree. Based on SpaceX’s job postings, her annual cash salary is approximately $130,000—significantly lower than her Silicon Valley peers—but she holds 80,000 to 150,000 shares. At the IPO price of $135, her net worth is estimated at around $15 million (≈¥100 million RMB), roughly ten times that of the welder earning $28 per hour, whose wealth also reached millions after SpaceX’s listing. Yesterday, SpaceX’s closing price neared $161, meaning Guo Can’s net worth continues to rise. Wearing tank tops and sporting floral arm tattoos, she shatters traditional stereotypes of elite professionals. Musk’s hiring philosophy is simple: ignore academic background, attire, or appearance—only focus on whether someone can solve core problems. Many companies are trapped by superficial norms, but true talent never needs labels to define its value. @SpaceX @grok @xai @XCreators @elonmusk
