    First round of insider shareholders haven’t legally been allowed to even liquidate yet. This will be a bloodbath.

        It’s more a question what’ll happen to the other AI companies. Investors have now seen the first of the big ones tank. They’ll wonder if the same will happen with OpenAI, Antrophic and other AI adjacent like Microsoft, Nvidia. For a bunch of companies living of venture capital, that’s deadly.

              Which just goes to show you how bullshit the profit margins are on space travel when they gotta turn the business into a chat bot to be “profitable”

                It had nothing to do with profit and everything to do with the tens of billions in debt that was coming due. The merger then ipo was just to dump that bill on the public.

                It’s even questionable to me if some of the space x investors will be able to get out above water… Some of those shares were sold at insanely high values then diluted. Fuck them all of course, but seems likely all this ipo achieves is another year or so of runway for the ponzi

              I was wondering why the stock price was so high. Makes a lot of sense now.

                Funny way to put it. Since it really makes even less sense to be valued higher with twitter and grok added. Since they both lose money.

    Its barely got history on the stock market so its hardly a ‘record low’. Just say the price has dipped and leave it at that.

      If it’s the lowest it’s been to date, it’s literally a record low. Calling it that is accurate and usefully descriptive.

        How is that ‘useful’? If you had zero prior knowlege you’d be forgiven for thinking they had been trading for decades.

          I don’t think the price of space x shares matter at all to someone who didn’t know it released recently. And if they decided they suddenly do care, they could just open the article and read it.

          It’s useful because it’s literally true. The stock hit its all time low. That interesting if the stock is decades old, and it’s interesting if the stock is weeks old. Whatever a person imagines has no bearing on any of that.

      Yeah, but that doesn’t make for good clickbait.

      And most people who will click on this article don’t have a fundamental understanding of the stock market, investing, or why this isn’t really that big of a deal.

      (Still, however, don’t invest in SpaceX. The stock is structured so retail investors don’t have meaningful voting rights.)

      is it not a record low? what if it went up for the rest of its existence. would this point in time not be recorded as its historic low point?

    Musk announced on social media that “Grok for Excel is live,” referencing the platform’s conversational AI tool.

      No, you don’t get it, Musk has a plan.

      • Step 1: It fails utterly and completely.
      • Step 2: Musk goes on Twitter/X, and says, “Had to add more math to training data.”
      • Step 3: CSAM and MechaHitler for some reason.
      • Step 4: Musk demands to speak to Grok’s manager.

      After that, it’s basically a straight line to success.

    For a good laugh have a stroll through the yahoo finance comments. It’s bounced back up to 126ish now. The hooting noises are just…so funny to hear.
