Investors clearly aren't familiar with rocket launches. SpaceX scrubbed their Starship launch last evening so they could fix an engine issue. SpaceX stock immediately crashed. Even worse, Rocket Lab, an entirely unaffiliated company, had its stock plummet after the SpaceX scrub.

Not sure why investors should be familiar with rocket launches when rockets are only representative of like 5% of the market value of SpaceX (per their S-1 filing to go public, 90%+ of their value comes from xAI/Grok).

SpaceX insiders have so many shares, once they can they are going to dump hard, get ready for another -$1T. Morningstar says $780 billion. Clown show: Raymond James - $800 Morgan Stanley - $300 Deutsche Bank - $255 JPMorgan - $225 Goldman Sachs - $205 Citi - $200

How do they come up with these numbers?

They pull them out of their (*((

Earlier quoted context omitted.

so was the comment that it wouldn't grow, or wouldn't shrink. :)

SpaceX is still a $1.6T company measured by the sum total paper value of all of its stock. Its stock would have to go down another 40% from today's value before it is not "a trillion dollar company." It could grow, it could shrink, but it seems like the root comment misunderstood the headline by thinking it's current market cap is <$1T

You could also read it as "it will never go down as low as $1T again".

SpaceX stock price has nothing to do with rockets. The majority of the supposed 'valuation' is associated with AI.

Before the IPO there was much concern that the changes in rules to allow fast inclusion in indices like Nasdaq-100 and Russell 1000 would mean that there would be an artificially elevated price. Was that effect just over-estimated? Or should SPCX have dropped even further without that support?

SpaceX stock has been tanking since its IPO, I don't think last night's scrubbed launch is the culprit.

Might have something to do with Musk making outlandish promises (AI datacenters in space) and the fact that most of the company's value is tied up in xAI, the shittiest AI provider.

Investors are clearly not familiar with anything Musk does, because it's all wildly overvalued.

A dip because of a scrubbed launch is a blip on the radar compared to the catastrophically bad ideas Musk is promising to implement. Data centers in space? That's just lunacy. A ridiculous idea from a ridiculous man.

The fact investors think (thought) SpaceX is worth more than $2T is another example of how they aren't familiar with rocket launches.
