    It’s worse than that… what they IPO with is basically a tiny percentage of SpaceX composed solely of xAI

    The entire stock market is basically 99.9% blind speculation and 0.1% basic math, which is why it rarely makes sense

      It’s not even a surprise, this is from SpaceX s-1 document: only 7% of their estimated valuation is from Space related activities

      The US, England, and Japan are all returning to quantitative easing policy. So we’ve once again got too much money chasing too few investments. What a lot of naive investors see as a market bubble is recognized among the more savvy as a return to our ongoing policy of asset inflation.

      A lot of what SpaceX is selling boils down to an access point to public spending - through sale of military hardware and equipment, network access to Starlink, and R&D funds allocated to the private sector. That’s what is really driving investment. It is, in effect, a play on the future of police and military spending.

      Still wildly overvalued imho. But not “blind” speculation.
