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.
