Just 10 days after the company’s blockbuster IPO, buyers of its initial public shares are in the red.
Shares of Elon Musk’s SpaceX tech conglomerate plunged 16% Monday to close below their price on June 12, the date of the company’s massive initial public offering.
It was its third-straight trading day of declines for a company that just 10 days ago orchestrated the largest IPO ever.
At Monday’s closing price of $154.60, the average investor who bought SpaceX shares on the open market after its debut has now seen most of their gains disappear, market data shows.
Honestly, if it was just SpaceX + Starlink as the IPO, I might be interested in picking some up. A healthy business is good business, especially when it is useful to society.
Grok is a poison pill, because it is a bad AI that isn’t in a healthy place. Quite bluntly, Chinese offerings are superior to their American counterparts, because they aren’t poisoned by bad economics and are very performant on local hardware. On top of that, the IPO is suspect because it circumvented the rules that were intended to protect investors from bad outcomes.
All in all, this thing stinks like hell, and Musk is a fish’s head.
$154.60 is still massively inflated from what the actual value should be.
Which is somewhere near $20
Assuming they stop bleeding money.
Nothing tax payer money can’t fix. Somehow. Just you watch.
I mean, Tesla got a huge boost from the government, too, so…
Haha that’s still to much. The value is based on XAI hype, and XAI is really next to worthless. They are doing everything after everybody else did it, and then they do it worse. It’s so bad they have no customers, and instead sell their server capacity to other AI companies. And the value of that will diminish fast, as better and cheaper hardware is developed.
Just wait until the nesting shares expire. It will crater.
see virgin galactic chart lol
Wow that is only worth 3 ‰ of what it was 5 years ago. 🤣🤣🤣
Most of spacex is privately owned, there is much more demand than real supply of the stock so it’s overvalued. As more former SpaceX employees current private investors and short term investors sell the price will slowly go down.
Keep tumbling. Then fold Tesla and all his stupid other companies into it and bankrupt it all.
Fuck musk and anyone that supports this filthy grifting pile of limp dicked shit that resembles a human being.
Nationalize it.
Don’t bother, snipe the talent that is actually competent and let the sites rot. Then give Nasa the resources to build their own manufacturing capacity.
You missed the change to add the qualifier “Nazi” to that, so let me correct that real quick: Fuck Musk and anyone that supports that Nazi.
Lol, lmao even
Oh… who could’ve possibly seen that coming?!
It’s almost as if the price was artificially pumped and the stocks are now being dumped in order to take advantage of the unscrupulous…
People bought a space stock and found out it was just so Elon could pay off the loans he took out to buy Twitter
I am once again reminded that Elon Musk literally said that if Trump didn’t win the election, that he would be going to prison. I think Enron will have been a smaller scandal than what is now unfolding
This is the biggest IPO in history. Would not surprise me.
I mean, wasn’t this the plan all along? Makia bunch of theoretical money off the IPO and just fuck you if you were foolish enough to waste your money buying in?
The plan was to get retail investors (idiots) to pay loans and the original investors with cold hard cash.
Now the retail (idiots) investors own stock in a business that makes no money and is burning piles of money monthly.
No way man, they’re gonna make space datacenters…
You know, the things famously resource intensive massive but in space. They can’t lose.
don’t forget that as hard as it is to get massive amounts of electricity into a space vehicle, it’s even harder to radiate heat away into a vacuum. space may be cold, but it doesn’t conduct or absorb heat well.
Rug pull for the Elon buddies
lmao. literally everyone that explicitly bought this stock to ride the wave deserves this. everyone who’s 401k os tethered to this stock doesn’t.
There’s 5 more days till the deadline for that
Oh no, how terrible for them.
I super duperydo hope the people that supported the Nazi trillionaire Elon Skum get their money back!!!The overwhelming majority of individuals in the US with 401ks were forced to buy SpaceX stocks through target date funds, mutual funds, and indexes, because 8 different funds have >10% of their entire stock as SpaceX, and 4 of those have >20% of their stock as SpaceX. This was all a fucking grift and Americans who have done what they were supposed to by saving will pay the price. Fuck Elon Musk sideways, I will pop a bottle of champange when he dies and celebrate it as a yearly holiday.
Thank jeebus that the S&P decided to maintain sanity and not change their standards to allow them in the index early. Shame that target date funds bought into the hype.
Pretty sure that date to buy has not happened yet. It wasnt a day 1 thing, it was something like inclusion after 15 days.
People are trying to front run it, to make profit when it happens.

Hasn’t happened yet.
Joke’s on them, I can’t afford to save for retirement
Yeah, I too will buy and pop a bottle of champagne if Elon muskrat dies
this is what scares me. those funds have to have a clause to not buy anything that does not use a traditional stock setup of voting common stock and at most the premium stock that can’t vote although im not sure preferd stock should have ever been a thing.
I mean, Tesla has a ridiculous P/E ratio, but seems to make some money (even if propped up by government policy here to keep competitors at bay and so on). If you look up SpaceX P/E ratio, you will get a good lolz:
https://www.financecharts.com/stocks/SPCX/value/pe-ratio
The pe ratio for Space Exploration Technologies (SPCX) stock is -560.61 as of Thursday, June 18 2026. A negative value means this company has been losing money. The pe ratio is not a useful metric when the company is not profitable. The p/e ratio is calculated by taking the latest closing price and dividing it by the diluted eps for the past 12 months.
People are talking about SpaceX buying Tesla? Anyone reminded of AOL buying Time Warner?
Anyone reminded of AOL buying Time Warner?
I remember xAI merging with Twitter. Does that count?
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/aol-x-time-warner-worst-merger-business-history-parth-zala-seyhf
AOL was treated like a superstar during the dot-com boom with almost $8 billion in revenue, $2 billion in operating profit, and a $200 billion valuation built mostly on hype and dial-up subscriptions.
Time Warner, on the other hand, was the real giant - more than three times the revenue, strong cash flows, CNN, HBO, Warner Bros., and decades of tangible media assets.
And yet… AOL used its inflated stock to buy Time Warner. The stronger, more profitable company ended up with just 45% of the combined entity, while AOL (with barely any hard assets) took control.
It’s a GOOD thing Elon Musk didn’t FORCE everyone in the US to INVEST their Retirement Savings into this TUMBLE!
Shoulda shorted it instead
Short selling has unlimited downside and the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.
Best use put options to get limited (in that the maximum you can lose is the money you invested, not a cent more) exposure to falling prices.
Who could have seen that coming?
