Man, whenever I use a sportsbook during the Soccer World Championship, I feel like I'm getting robbed. Dude, delete that app. You need to be using Polymarket. Polymarket? Polymarket is a prediction market, not a sportsbook. You trade against other fans, not the house. That means more money for you and less for greedy sportsbooks. Even during the World Championship? Especially during the World Championship, whether you're trading on who wins the next match or who lifts the trophy in the finals. Sportsbooks take around $9 on a $100 position and pay out around $500. Polymarket pays out $650 on that same position. What's the catch? No catch. And it's available in all 50 states. Polymarket is so confident, they're giving you $50 free on your first trade.

The highly anticipated IPO for SpaceX blasts off today. A new tranche of government UFO materials causes a stir. And Team USA faces off with Paraguay tonight. I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley. It's Friday, June 12th, and this is Evening Wire. SpaceX went public this morning in a long-awaited record-setting IPO, officially making Elon Musk the world's first trillionaire. Here's Elon speaking at the launch event this morning.

It is certainly hard to believe that a little company that started in a warehouse in El Segundo is now going public with the largest IPO ever. And let me tell you, if people had told me this was going to happen... I was like, man, you must be smoking some really good crack because I think this company is going to fail.

Shares for the company opened at $150, well above the IPO price of $135. Despite an unconventional price-to-earning ratio, investors clearly have faith in SpaceX. The IPO has now raised a record-setting $75 billion, pushing the company's valuation well over $1.7 trillion.

At least one person was killed and several wounded today in a shooting in Texas. Assistant Editor Nathan Gay has more. At least two people are dead and 10 were injured following a shooting in Midland, Texas on Friday morning. Authorities say the suspect was later killed by police after barricading himself inside a building after officers responding to the scene encountered gunfire. One victim was pronounced dead and nine victims were transported to Midland Memorial Hospital. Four were undergoing surgery and five were listed in stable condition. The identity of the shooter and additional details have not yet been revealed by authorities. Midland is a small town in West Texas, about halfway between Fort Worth and El Paso.
