Questions over whether SpaceX will live up to its colossal share price. Shares soared above $160 US dollars as the rocket, satellite and data centre company hit the market yesterday.

Eric Berger, who's authored two books about Musk, says it's still a risky investment for those buying in - partly due to Musk's erratic personality.
