Motley Fool Money
A $2 Trillion IPO & the Space Economy

I'm going to take the under on the databases in space, at least for the foreseeable future.

Motley Fool Money
A $2 Trillion IPO & the Space Economy

A lot of the exotic things, but there are a lot of ways that companies can benefit from the data you can get from space, the incremental positives.

The government, militaries are increasingly interested there.

There's a lot of revenue potential there.

Just like every other market excitement, there are winners and losers here.

Motley Fool Money

Not everyone is going to make it.

Motley Fool Money
A $2 Trillion IPO & the Space Economy

And so putting Twitter in with SpaceX seems like the negative side of putting things together in a conglomerate.

At the same time, you also have XAI, which I think that there's probably some investors who would have preferred that the AI side be a pure play and be divorced from the space stuff because they share loose confusion about, well, what is the space economy?

Motley Fool Money
