Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere. It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

And because of how the IPO is organized, Musk and SpaceX insiders can sell their shares sooner than usual. They’ll ride the stocks’ upward tide as major indices force millions to buy it, and then cash out before the crash. Sound like a Ponzi scheme to you? It does to me, too.

Normally, stock indices have a waiting period before they plow their investors’ money into a newly public company. But SpaceX lobbied index funds, like the Nasdaq 100, to allow for faster entry. That means your retirement savings could soon be tied to SpaceX’s rapidly-inflating market value.

In fact, much of the valuation stems from a deal Musk negotiated between SpaceX and xAI. Two companies that Musk controls... He essentially made and closed that deal with himself, unilaterally deciding the value of his own transaction. A magic trick, out of thin air!

Granted, it’s difficult to predict the value of activities that don’t yet exist, such as SpaceX’s stated mission to “extend the light of consciousness to the stars.” But before this giant IPO, capitalism had never before put a price tag on something nearly as speculative and as large.

Musk has set SpaceX’s price at $135/share, valuing the company at $1.77 TRILLION. That’s nearly 100 times SpaceX’s $18.7B in revenue last year (not counting its $4.2B operating LOSS). A wild overvaluation given SpaceX’s consistent negative profitability and failure to meet goals.
