SpaceX Files to Go Public

You don't have to believe. If you have a 401k you will be an investor 15 days after launch.

The IPO will go great, because the company will float a fairly small issuance. The big shareholders will not immediately sell. They will hold on and maybe even buy to support the price.

Then, after 15 days, it will enter the indexes and everyone's 401k will start auto-buying this stock.

You might say this is an obvious flaw in how the indexes work if they start immediately accept a brand new IPOed stock with limited float. You'd be right, which is why they won't list for a year.

At least they wouldn't until Elon got them to change their rules: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-03-30/nasdaq-cl...

What's in the SpaceX Files and why aren't they already public?

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...

The thing i'm not looking forward to is SpaceX will now be beholden to Wall Street. With Startship testing being so public, there's a whole cottage industry of youtubers watching their every move, there's going to be lots of ups and downs on the stock price.

This is structured so that Musk becomes the first trillionaire.

I hate that I will have to invest in this crap with my retirement index funds

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.

Rabble rabble... debt... rabble rabble... xAI burning revenue...

That's why.

Trying to dump on the market before the bubble pops.

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?

Mars bros... It's so over.
