Musk is trying to have his cake and eat it too: the eye-watering IPO price was predicated on SpaceX's "acquisition" of xAI (with revenue projections assuming IIRC 97% control over all AI use case markets) but while SpaceX is profitable, xAI is not! The projected spending on xAI is spooking investors
The SpaceX IPO only put 5% of its shares on the market. Another 20% were scheduled to unlock after the Q2 earnings call.
That call was yesterday. In the meantime, the stock has fallen over 40% from its initial days of trading.
$SPCX 📉 9.25% in pre-market trading as shareholders offload this junk.
