$154.60 is still massively inflated from what the actual value should be.

Just wait until the nesting shares expire. It will crater.
see virgin galactic chart lol
Wow that is only worth 3 ‰ of what it was 5 years ago. 🤣🤣🤣
Most of spacex is privately owned, there is much more demand than real supply of the stock so it's overvalued. As more former SpaceX employees current private investors and short term investors sell the price will slowly go down.
Keep tumbling. Then fold Tesla and all his stupid other companies into it and bankrupt it all.
Fuck musk and anyone that supports this filthy grifting pile of limp dicked shit that resembles a human being.
You missed the change to add the qualifier "Nazi" to that, so let me correct that real quick: Fuck Musk and anyone that supports that Nazi.

Lol, lmao even
Oh... who could've possibly seen that coming?!
It's almost as if the price was artificially pumped and the stocks are now being dumped in order to take advantage of the unscrupulous...
People bought a space stock and found out it was just so Elon could pay off the loans he took out to buy Twitter
I am once again reminded that Elon Musk literally said that if Trump didn’t win the election, that he would be going to prison. I think Enron will have been a smaller scandal than what is now unfolding
This is the biggest IPO in history. Would not surprise me.
I mean, wasn't this the plan all along? Makia bunch of theoretical money off the IPO and just fuck you if you were foolish enough to waste your money buying in?
The plan was to get retail investors (idiots) to pay loans and the original investors with cold hard cash.
Now the retail (idiots) investors own stock in a business that makes no money and is burning piles of money monthly.
No way man, they're gonna make space datacenters...
You know, the things famously resource intensive massive but in space. They can't lose.
don't forget that as hard as it is to get massive amounts of electricity into a space vehicle, it's even harder to radiate heat away into a vacuum. space may be cold, but it doesn't conduct or absorb heat well.
Rug pull for the Elon buddies
lmao. literally everyone that explicitly bought this stock to ride the wave deserves this. everyone who’s 401k os tethered to this stock doesn’t.
There's 5 more days till the deadline for that
Oh no, how terrible for them.
I super duperydo hope the people that supported the Nazi trillionaire Elon Skum get their money back!!!
The overwhelming majority of individuals in the US with 401ks were forced to buy SpaceX stocks through target date funds, mutual funds, and indexes, because 8 different funds have >10% of their entire stock as SpaceX, and 4 of those have >20% of their stock as SpaceX. This was all a fucking grift and Americans who have done what they were supposed to by saving will pay the price. Fuck Elon Musk sideways, I will pop a bottle of champange when he dies and celebrate it as a yearly holiday.
Thank jeebus that the S&P decided to maintain sanity and not change their standards to allow them in the index early. Shame that target date funds bought into the hype.

It's a GOOD thing Elon Musk didn't FORCE everyone in the US to INVEST their Retirement Savings into this TUMBLE!
I mean, Tesla has a ridiculous P/E ratio, but seems to make some money (even if propped up by government policy here to keep competitors at bay and so on). If you look up SpaceX P/E ratio, you will get a good lolz:
https://www.financecharts.com/stocks/SPCX/value/pe-ratio
The pe ratio for Space Exploration Technologies (SPCX) stock is -560.61 as of Thursday, June 18 2026. A negative value means this company has been losing money. The pe ratio is not a useful metric when the company is not profitable. The p/e ratio is calculated by taking the latest closing price and dividing it by the diluted eps for the past 12 months.
People are talking about SpaceX buying Tesla? Anyone reminded of AOL buying Time Warner?
Anyone reminded of AOL buying Time Warner?
I remember xAI merging with Twitter. Does that count?

Shoulda shorted it instead
Short selling has unlimited downside and the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.
Best use put options to get limited (in that the maximum you can lose is the money you invested, not a cent more) exposure to falling prices.
Who could have seen that coming?
Put options have been printing nicely.
I mean really, why bother learning from history, it's not that deep bro.
Anyone know what the deal is with the media saying his stock is somehow tied to 401Ks?
There was some concern that it would very quickly get included in relevant indices due to its size. That would trigger a bunch of funds that are based on these indices to have to automatically buy their stock to keep matching the index. Those specific funds are often included in 401K plan.
Last I heard that got blocked by the relevant authorities requiring a company to actually be profitable as a prerequisite to being included in these indices.
Edit/PS:
S&P blocked them. Nasdaq and FTSE did not.
Edit2: If you are invested in any index funds and don't want Space X to be auto-included look into moving your money into a fund with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) inclusion criteria. Governance at Space X is really bad. But you should be aware that does not remove exposure to Musks bullshit completely, because Tesla does pass the ESG checks.
Last I heard that got blocked by the relevant authorities requiring a company to actually be profitable as a prerequisite to being included in these indices.
I didn't see where it landed, either. Man, I sure hope it was rejected. It's losing money.
My understanding was that it would push SPCX into NASDAQ, skipping most of the process that is usually done, and that if your 401K had exposure to NASDAQ, then you'd be investing in SPCX....

It used to be that new stocks with a high enough value had to wait several months to a year before they could be included into index funds (index funds are collections of stocks that try to mirror the performance of certain markets). Recent rule changes removed that waiting period so some (maybe even most, though not all) index funds bought SpaceX, automatically, within days of it coming on the market because that's just how they work. So if SpaceX tanks, many retirement plans will take a hit.

The iShares Russell 1000 ETF (IWB) and Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) are expected to hold SPCX starting on June 29 and July 7, respectively.
Well, probably good news for people who own those index funds, since they won't ride SPCX down, at least to some extent. Their worst case scenario would have been the peak holding until they bought in.
It was a grift? gasp
That's OK people buying stock in a near worthless company should have expected this.

Yeah, as soon as Vanguard had to buy this shit it started crashing. It will probably go up by the time QQQ buys in.
There’s a reason they say not to put all your eggs in one basket. space x, twitter and xai are a giant basket now. Add tesla in there and watch the popcorn futures.
Honestly the US government needs to step in and break them up, and nationalize the space launch business for national security reasons. They won’t, but they should if they want to be smart about it.
The US government is the only reason Musk isn't in prison.

Wow. I expected the hype to falter and the price to collapse, but even I didn't expect it to happen this quickly. I thought it would take another few months at least.
Lol, I bought myself some puts and shorts on spacex
