This is structured so that Musk becomes the first trillionaire.
Trying to dump on the market before the bubble pops.
A space company in the pursuit of profit... what could possibly go wrong.
On one hand I do take some enjoyment of suckers being fleeced. But on other hand I know who this all will benefit so I really can't do that.
As whole I find that valuation just insane, but seemingly if you only offer tiny enough slice with enough hype it might bump prices to something that really make no sense at all...
Bollocks valuation. There isn't that much demand for space and it's not that profitable.
I hate that I will have to invest in this crap with my retirement index funds
What's in the SpaceX Files and why aren't they already public?
They are going IPO close to Elon's birthday (26th or 29th June) aren't they? Like they did with Tesla.
But as soon as they IPO, that's a signal to head for the exit before it all collapses again.
ugh he's going to be worth > 1T and go on to have even more influence than before. this is so bad for society.
idgaf about the company. sure they proved the space and moved the space forward just like Tesla did with electric cars but why did it have to be Elon?
Does this mean that before june SpaceX will do something highly noteworthy, to justify the IPO price?
If it goes public, does that means Musk won't own any of it? Can we rip it out of his filthy hands?
How can I avoid my retirement and index funds being a part of this garbage?
