SpaceX IPO priced at $135 per share, values company at $1.77 trillion
SpaceX priced its IPO at $135 per share, valuing the company at about $1.77 trillion and raising roughly $75 billion in proceeds. The company's public filing highlights plans to scale Starship production and expand AI-enabled satellite services to boost launch cadence and global connectivity. The offering will sharply increase Elon Musk's liquidity, pushing his net worth past $1 trillion and moving SpaceX onto public quarterly reporting and shareholder oversight. At that valuation SpaceX eclipses many defense contractors, meaning its military-launch business will now operate under public-market governance and scrutiny.
Hi! I'm Bret Rhett Chet, here to tell you why you should buy and hodl SpaceX stonk. For a mere $135/share, you get pro forma tangible book value of $7.85/share, an immediate 94% dilution. New investors are putting up 48% of all capital ever invested in SpaceX in exchange for 4.2% of the shares. /1
SpaceX's $1.8T "valuation" isn't real, it's manufactured by a tiny 4.2% public float. $1.8T is ~95x SpaceX's trailing revenue. Google IPO'd at ~7x revenue, Facebook at ~20x. This is Snowflake's multiple stapled to Rivian's capital burn, a combo with a flawless record of bagholders. /2
The best part about the $7.80 book value is that it's actually a $2 book value plus a bunch of money from new investors.
So basically when the stock goes live and my retirement money is dumped into it, which I have no choice over, I'm going to lose all my retirement money
Trading the cow not for gold, not for magic beans, but for select tranches of innovative magic-bean-derived financial instruments.
So the stocker ticker is ONEBORNEVERYMINUTE
This epic turd stinks to high heaven, and first order of business should Dems regain power is investigating this top to bottom for fraud. Because it's full of it.
Just one more 100B bro. Just one more 100B and you'll see, it will get profitable. Trust me bro. 💉
Ya know, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed...my gifts are in other areas, but I just want you to know how much I appreciate you sharing your knowledge on this subject.
I'd say this is gambling, but gambling has better odds.
Isn’t it interesting that SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic are all trying to shift their massive hoax burdens to a gullible stock market at about the same time? This is an unprecedented level of blood in the water that will poison it for years.
Holy capital gains tax liability, Batman!
These guys look at IPO as the end. That's where they get out. They don't care what happens after, even if jackass investors are dumping everyone's retirement into it. They're out of moves after NVDA. They don't know what to do now, so it's just "maybe AI then"
I can tell you as a mechanic, space x offers low wages to be a part of their bullshit
Curious as to whether hodling SpaceX stonk is like stealing an erection.
I honestly don’t understand how this kind of bullshit is even allowed. When my last employer went semi public (with debt) we had to do it on the Ireland exchange and to institutional investors only because it was deemed retail investors wouldn’t understand the risks of the bond offering.
Not an investment Buffett would make. It’s obvious this space IPO is primarily a vehicle for Musk to turn himself into a trillionaire, piggybacking on retirees 401k's while leveraging his own risk. If it's so promising, why wouldn't he fund it entirely with his own assets and keep all the profit?
🫀 Healthcare insurance was already unaffordable. We still paid it. Then it jumped because of Trump’s Big Ugly Bill🇺🇸. And here’s the part people need to remember: most of the bill’s pain doesn’t even hit until AFTER 2026 midterms.
Jesus Christ. I hope Vanguard, Fidelity and TIAA are staying away from that shitshow. (My retirement account guardians)
I don't disagree with the thesis, but wouldn't start with TBV The same logic would compel you to say that buying JPMorgan shares (TBV ~$130) give an instant 41% dilution Some well-known companies have negative TBV (Philip Morris, McDonald's, etc.)

This sounds like a great place to put our retirement money. How far away from Black Tuesday 2.0 are we?
It's not a meme stock, it's a cuck stock. And Americans will be lined up
Will the IPO also include an ownership share in the race riot app? 🤔
Just like trump… other people’s money Also, billionaire sports teams owners who want new stadiums paid for with an awful lot of public, taxpayer money.
Mars is too far, too speculative and at best gets a few paying billionaires for the trip,,, some day. The not yet profitable SpaceX satellite launching business has a legion of competitors at its heels soon able to undercut its profitability.
ITS A GRATE DEAL JUST LIKE TESLA STONK
Smoke is coming out of Jim Cramer's BUY button, he's pounding it so hard!
Space X is blowing up, people! Get in on it before it's gone!
Your thread is very thorough, but can you please explain more simply why people would buy stock in a company that has very little chance of ever being profitable.
Yea but they own so many appreciating assets like the cybertrucks they bought bro!
Asking genuinely- can someone explain to me what it is that SpaceX actually does that would have any investor excited? Like what are they theoretically making/doing that isn't already a visible failure (Grok, X) or just bobbing along (Starlink)? I don't see how they are luring anyone in to this?
Building a pyramid to the moon?
Also: you help a Nazi, who uses child porn on my messaging app AI, that is also used at Pentagon systems and to stoke racist murder and violence in countries I don't live in
I'm looking at that and I'm figuring we're better off investing in fedora hat futures. (After Spider-Noir, there should be a huge demand, all I'm saying)
The exploding rockets are the perfect metaphor for the stock price.
