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.

    It’s honestly too early to say SpaceX will fail. I hope it does poorly enough that they remove Elon, but realistically that will never happen.

    When he offered to buy Twitter for a massive amount everyone thought he was an idiot who was wasting his money, and we all know how that turned out. Even in spite of the AI bullshit SpaceX is hiding, I’d say there is a chance they fluke through it and end up massively positive.

      They can’t remove him, he owns the majority of voting shares.

      They would need to do multiple more offerings to dwindle that down, and id be shocked if he ever gave up enough shares to be at risk.

      They are one of a few that can put stuff in low orbit.

      And one of 2 that can get to higher orbits.

      They will have plenty of launches.

        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.

      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.

      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.

    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

    Yeah, as soon as Vanguard had to buy this shit it started crashing. It will probably go up by the time QQQ buys in.
