Doja Cat brands Elon Musk 'barrel-chested Ewok' in X post

The question isn’t whether SpaceX is a great company. The question is whether officials who can influence policy should be financially tied to the same company receiving billions in government contracts. Those are two very different debates.

Raucous Cowboy10

Government contracts which Musk illegally and directly gave himself when he was in doge….. See the problem here?

Christian Petersen10

It's wild how quickly a billionaire doing two nazi salutes can be forgotten...

PT Barnum meets late stage Capitalism

All of it should be nationalized and assets seized in the name of national security.

Yes we do see the problem. Investment Experts Condemn Elon Musk’s SpaceX Stock IPO Launch — Based on $4.9 billion Loss by SpaceX — as ‘Coup’ and ‘100% Fraud’ newsvideoclip.com/investment-e...

Enemy of the State7

Would SpaceX even be a thing without massive government funding? If it belongs to anyone, it's the people.

Aster Vérité6

Another problem... Musk couldn't handle a loss of control over his child, so he spent $44 Billion USD to buy control over public discourse, turning a domestic grievance into a global corp vendetta. Trust me, I've seen some shit, but I've never seen public psychopathic rage on such a scale before.

Ron Dorland ©️🇺🇸🇺🇦6

And what do taxpayers have to show for SpaceX failure? Has Musk achieved anything with his rockets because NASA just sent astronauts around the moon and back. I would rather have a well funded NASA and Musk in South Africa.

The Resistance 🚫👑🚫🧊4

He’s a government handout recipient, probably the biggest in history

Yes, another treasonous way they're stealing taxpayer money. Would be great if the military honored their oath and arrested Krasnov & his treasonous minions in the WH, Congress, SCOTUS and the Cabinet.

End the income tax on low and middle class. Corporate wants to raid tax funds let them raid their own taxed money

We all Belong!2

Oh yeah. We see the problem.

Cap'm Kickass2

I saw the problem four words into your post.

ELIZE2

You're hitting on a classic case of crony capitalism. Where government contracts and public funds fuel private wealth, and loyalty is bought with stock options.

wahusk.bsky.social2

Yes. And the only space program with demonstrated results over time (other than putting up self-serving satellites and most certainly getting this country beyond earth-bound) remains NASA. Musk and Bezos must be removed from the government trough.

Gill2

Just FYI here in UK, our Prime Minister has yet again had to call out Musk for “interfering “ in our political discourse. We are frankly sick & tired of US beta males inserting themselves into our lives.

And they’re still blowing up on the launch pad

Public Record Sourcerer2

Mr Pump walks into the room, walks over to Mr Dump and they embrace. Somehow the stacks in their pockets multiply and begin to overflow onto the floor around them, as they climb the pile to remain in free air. The stack grows to a height of about 12 feet and topples them both into the Koi pond.

The people fast tracking SpaceX into the Nasdaq and SP500 should be sued for gross negligence. And we need to sue anyone index funds that include SpaceX for gross negligence.

StopFelon472

Any amount over $100 billion should be taxed at 99%

DadBeastLarge2

No one should EVER be worth more than $10-$20 million. This graphic helps us understand and grasp the vast differences:

This is how the stock market works for *them* they all just move their money around and “invest” in themselves or each other. See how that works?

We need DOGE to cut out this waste and corruption - Oh wait!!!

Dieter Guldin2

Thats the way how conservative politics work.

sunbirdie.bsky.social2

Does anyone know if Musk and the rest of the executive officers and directors are subject to a six-month lockup (which is standard in an IPO)?

keesiemom4.bsky.social2

Us normal Americans see the problem. But the GOP doesn’t.

sbharvey.bsky.social2

There is another interesting aspect of this IPO is that SpaceX (Illicit Musk) want to reserve 30% of the shares for retail investors. Musk has a big following in the retail investor community. Kind of like 🟠💩 MAGA supporters.

SarahAndCo2

SpaceX is a Ponzi scheme and will fuck 401Ks when the market crashes. European funds have banned investments in the IPO.

Silly B Man21

Yes. I’m telling everyone who will listen to switch to non-US index funds. This is a giant scam being run on US index funds by a coterie of finance professionals in the halls of power.

wowthatscoolmyguy.bsky.social13

It's one of those things that's so obvious that you assume it shouldn't work It's a guy walking into a bank and announcing "all of the money in the bank belongs to me". You think "ahahah, what a crazy guy" but then staff escorts him to collect it because it turns out they're incentivized to do so

David M8

The same Grok which is so popular that SpaceX is renting out its GPU capacity to Anthropic?

Catsculptor6

Also for him to wriggle out of all his other companies hemorraging money by packaging them all up under the spacex name

Kevin6

Morningstar has come out and said this is overvalued. Is there any kind of pressure campaign happening with Vanguard, Fidelity, or other big index funds firms to do something to protect their customers?

Jack5

I will sign onto a class action the second this shit IPOs

Rich Burroughs4

Rolling Tesla and X up into it too. Buyers get all of his terrible businesses for one very inflated price.

C.V. Danes3

It's certainly kind of hard to escape the conclusion that the entire spacex IPO is just a way for the banks and exchanges to financial engineer a huge, distributed theft in the form of huge IPO fees.

Mark Shatraw3

I have yet to hear anybody argue otherwise although this is not the website for it lol

Loren Ipsum3

@gork does this valuation seem shady?

esouthard3

He definitely worked the refs with the index providers, which is not part of the standard IPO playbook

Theo Landsman3

Hard to imagine the index funds would be going along with it without Tesla as an example of how they'd eventually get dragged along anyway and the structural weirdness of the perma-bull market.

Grasso figlio di puttana2

It’s all just pixie dust and wishes.

OddEvens 🔜 Toxic Yuri VN Jam2

Yes, he’s trying to multiply his personal wealth at basically no risk to himself and with the money coming out of every 401k in the country

Musk like most white supremest believes in a new world order where nationalist, confederates, and federalist will govern the world. He usesess every chance he can to stimulate and promote those ideals.

This is a world war against all democratic countries by autocratic soverigns.

bored2tears3

*Where* does he find the time? Doesn't Musk have massively-overvalued publicly-traded companies to run into the ground?

mileslynd.bsky.social2

Musk should mind his own f....ing business. I hope the Brits feel the same way. This is a prime example of why we don't need billionaires.

Queen of Diamonds 💎💙🦋☕️🇺🇦6

Hey Elon! Maybe it’s time to start giving free lunch to impoverished children, fund Meals on Wheels, build wells so villages have running water, help cancer patients with medical bills, donate food to animal shelters/rescues, and build homes for the unhoused.

IT_Spook6

All the money in the world and all the influence he has and it shows that you can still be the most gullible, uncool person in the universe.

Jawn Claude Van Damme5

Especially not this fuckin guy

Chentito5

I LOVE capitalism! That’s why I want fail sons to lose their inheritance, and the next death tax should be anything over 1 billion is 100% taxable.

David Reeves aka Photoline4

Especially not a White Supremacist whose material wealth is rooted in apartheid and white minority rule.

My Little Ponfarr4

He HAS a trillion dollars. He's not WORTH a trillion dollars.

Liberty and Justice for All4

No, no one should be a trillionaire...especially mentally ill asses like him. Taking it one step further, no mentally ill asses should be billionaires either. We have too many.

MH3

In retrospect allowing the richest man in the world to buy us a president so the two of them could get even richer might not have been our best move.

Tulipanet2

I think a billion is already more than enough Just to give you a grasp of what a billion really is bsky.app/profile/mkts...

run4itmarty.bsky.social2

FFS, not only a Trillionaire but an almost 2 Trillionaire

Edward Rigby2

He'll be happy then, right? When he's a trillionaire? He'll stop being a bitter, bigoted, ketamine-fueled embarrassment to the human race then, won't he?
