    You are expected to believe that it is a good investment to pay $135 for 1/13-billionth of a company that lost $5 billion last year. Read that again until you get it.

    Can we say that Elon Musk has built one an extraordinary company. 🚀 And can we also say @SpaceX is not worth $1.75 trillion? Here's what must go right for #SpaceX to ever be worth this #IPO price — with the terrific @JulesHyman on @YahooFinance. https://finance.yahoo.com/...

    Gonna read a lot about VC “returns” from the SpaceX IPO. Reminder that no VC is selling shares into the IPO, and can't sell for a while. So these are still paper gains, not actual cash for distribution-starved LPs in their funds.
  • @litcapital @litcapital on x
    The reason why you want a ~20% IPO pop on day 1 is to reward investors who helped make the IPO successful by committing to the order book Pricing perfectly with no pop only benefits the company and not the investors (in the short term). The stock could rip or tank in longer run

    Remember when Elon Musk told investors that Twitter would 5x its revenue to $28 billion by 2028 and more than 4x its users to nearly 1 billion?  Well, that's no where near happening.  Instead he's made even loftier predictions for a much larger company that will go public tomm.  …

    With SpaceX getting priced at $135 today, Bloomberg estimates Musk's net worth is now $970.5B Tomorrow, any pop above the IPO price (or a Tesla rally) could make him the first Trillionaire! [image]

    SpaceX is the most overhyped IPO of the decade and it will end exactly the way every overhyped IPO ends. Facebook IPO'd at $38 and traded under that for 15 months. Uber IPO'd at $45 and is still below that adjusted seven years later for a while. WeWork tried at $47 billion and

    SpaceX has excluded investors from China and Hong Kong from participating in its IPO, according to the NYT. The article also reports that OpenAI is likely to impose the same restrictions when it goes public. Given past statements from Anthropic, they may also do the same. [image]

    Anyone remember what $NET's IPO “pop” was? I like @matt_levine calling it “perfect” — to the penny. You have a lot more control of what happens when you price an IPO than it may seem. If @elonmusk turns out to have called it even close to perfect two weeks in advance... 🤯 [image]
