The bond market’s assessment also jibes with SpaceX’s stock. It’s a profitless, non-dividend-paying, one-person-controlled, empire-building project trading at more than 100 times sales, about 30 times the valuation of the S&P 500 Index. That’s the very definition of a junk stock.

It really wasn’t that hard to see the SpaceX ipo was mostly a scam. And yet there are post after post of people losing their entire fortune, house, future after investing in this sow. Just blinding stupidity to invest in any company run by a ketamine addict who should be in prison over that DOGE bullshit.
It’s at $162 right now. Above where it IPO’d at. How are people losing their fortunes? I’m not defending spaceX or Elon (fuck that guy). But how are people losing a fortune exactly?
I know it’s a scam but honestly most of the market feels that way right now anyway.
Day 1: “Let’s see how this goes.”
Day 2: “It’s up 20%? I can’t miss out on this gravy train!”
After drop: “It’ll go back up for sure.”
I don’t know how fast it was before it peaked, but not everybody bought right away. Or people added more money after they saw it going up.
I know a guy who bought in to it. I asked him recently how thats going for him. He is underwater and bag holding… the hype for many retail investors was real. Glad I didnt jump in.
Specifically Elon Musk is an irresponsible ketamine addict. Most CEOs just stick to a cocaine addiction which leaves them moderately competent.
