The Daily · How Elon Musk Engineered the World’s Biggest I.P.O. · 2 Jun 2026 podcast

There's discussion now of about 30% being allotted to retail.

I think it's just the sheer size of this thing.

It's going to need investors beyond your traditional banks and funds that typically put their money into IPOs.

And it's also going to need a hefty base of investors to continue believing in this company and holding its shares.

And so Elon Musk over the years has been pretty brilliant in his strategy of courting the everyday person.

And he's building on that to attract retail investors here and build this hype.

You know, he is always on Twitter, for example, or on X these days, tweeting and building essentially a community of people, of fans, of folks that are just interested in his companies and in him.

And he wants to give those people an opportunity to invest because once this thing IPOs, it's going to need shareholders to sustain it and to own it and to continue investing in it.

Correct.

But even if you don't want to own SpaceX shares or if you avoid this IPO, you may essentially end up owning a part of SpaceX indirectly.

So like many Americans, you and I have investments in retirement funds.

And these retirement funds are often invested in index funds, which are a collection of companies and stocks

that are meant to mirror American industry.

So for example, the NASDAQ 100 is a collection of 100 companies and their stocks trade publicly.

And so you may own a chunk of the NASDAQ 100.

The NASDAQ 100 is relaxing its rules to allow for SpaceX to enter the index a lot more quickly than in the past.

Typically what happens is that when a company goes public,

Its stock needs about three months on the public market for a cooling off period.

And that's because there's fluctuations in stock prices.

You kind of want to see where investors settle out with the stock, if it goes up or down.
