So far, demand seems really, really strong.
Obviously, if the IPO unexpectedly flops, it could be pretty bad for the entire market.
It does seem like it is going to benefit Elon Musk quite a lot.
He's already the world's richest man, net worth around $700 billion, but he stands to earn quite a lot more due to his 42% stake in the company.
And he could become the world's first trillionaire, we're saying that word quite a lot, if the IPO goes well.
One other thing that I thought was really interesting is that SpaceX reserved an unusually high amount of the stock for retail investors, 30%.
I thought this was interesting for a couple reasons, one of which was just that Tesla is one of the most widely held retail stocks.
on Robinhood and platforms like that.
And I think that it has allowed Elon Musk to keep the company, like the company does pretty well, regardless of whether the kind of underlying business fundamentals are going exceptionally well, because he has this very loyal fan base that is keeping the stock price really, really high.
And so even when there's business issues, Tesla, you know, continues to, at least in the United States, perform.
I actually think that this is such an interesting part of like assessing Elon Musk as a business person because obviously as someone who reported on his Twitter takeover, now X, for quite a while, it was so easy to look at that company and be like, advertising is way down.
This company is entirely dependent.
on advertising.
Like he has made very obvious mess ups in terms of the business.
Like the business did not appear to be going well.
But you can't really assess Elon Musk as the owner of a single company because he actually has an empire.
So X isn't going well, merge it with XAI.
Those companies are spending a lot of money and not making as much.
Well, then SpaceX will buy them.
And suddenly you're looking at a very different company.
