On that topic: this is both entertaining and scary, especially the bit that says they fast-tracked into the NASDAQ 100 so whether you like it or not you have to buy into Elon Musk's financial house of cards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHD8BDFYyGI

Naive question but you could move all your stuff out of NASDAQ before the IPO right? The downside is that you'd have to keep it out of NASDAQ until SPCX is finished cratering it?

There's a section in this article that offers some slightly different views on the IPO: https://rubbishtalk.com/world/dow-50k-2t-ipo-and-the-iran-de...

It make it more solidly clear how this really is an IPO for all 3 orgs: SpaceX, X, and xAI which helped me understand more of the video.

> The Launch segment posted $4.1 billion in revenue but a $657 million operating loss, driven by roughly $3 billion in Starship R&D — a deliberate strategic bet, not a distressed business.

All in all it reflects a ton of what the youtube video says though (I haven't finished the video though). It adds some color.
