SpaceX IPO ?

[RSL]

I got a whopping 12 shares out of the 100 I put in for on the IPO. SpaceX IPO shares were almost harder to get than Swift A-frames. ;-)

I got 1 box of 375 AFrames the last go round and 11 out of 15 shares of SpaceX I ordered. So you are right in your analogy.....

Aframes are good!
Asked my girlfriend if 100 dollar bills laid end to end and with a trillion dollars, what is the distance?
After a bit of dialogue, then brought up Musk.
Her response
“
Precisely! Following the massive SpaceX IPO, his net worth has officially crossed that $1 trillion mark (sitting right around $1.1 trillion).

Fox Business


So if Elon Musk decided to cash out every single asset he owns, convert it all into crisp $100 bills, and lay them end-to-end starting from Earth:

• His wealth would stretch about 5.8 light-seconds out into space.
• It would easily clear the Moon (which is only about 1.3 light-seconds away).
• In fact, his line of cash could make it to the Moon and back more than two full times.

Of course, if he wanted to make it all the way to Mars at its closest approach, he’d still need to recruit a few of his billionaire buddies to pitch in—or he'd have to convert his fortune into $1 bills, which would stretch a mind-boggling 580 light-seconds (almost 10 light-minutes) and overshoot Mars entirely!

I dont complain about 25% gains humble as they are

At $200 sell 1/3 or 2/3 and if you still like the stock, get back in during the first lull.

The long term employees did well.

A business partner of my uncle, that was responsible for half of the globe for UPS. made a tidy sum the day UPS went public.

When younger, they started a delivery business together. He went to UPS and my uncle bought him out. Both did well. But UPS turned into the better gamble.

Tssla opened at $17 with its IPO and now sits at $400…

Elon is a pretty safe bet I think… we bought in fairly deep yesterday..

after the two stock splits on telsa, a original ipo share would of been around $6000 now !!!


and all this elon hate, theres alot of propaganda, especially in Canada too. but I always sum it up to, would I rather a person like him exist, or not. And in my head, thats an easy YES,

I have plenty enough money to last me a lifetime. A couple probably. I don't need to speculate on goofy crap. Most of my investments are in bonds or Canadian banks (our banking system is one of the world's most solid if not the most solid). Steady income is more important than risking flash-in-the-pan. Anyway, I would die before giving Musk a dime. Certainly don't need money that badly.

Fair enough and depending on your age, having something at this life "stage" (see what I did there), it might not make sense for your portfolio. We have been in it for 8 years but even recently bought at the last round ($800b). It has been a whopper of a homerun for us. We're locked up still so we'll see where it pans out to be once the early vol is gone.

If the analogy that he is building the modern day railroad (to space) and he remotely hits his goal of 3 flights per day by 2030 (which I think is highly unlikely but I also didn't realize they launched every other day in 2025), it will work. He just leased a portion of his compute power on earth for $25b a year.

He is building a plant to make his own chips. He has the starlink sats and will have the version 3's in the next 6 months. As he said on a webcast with JPM clients, building a datacenter in space is much easier than these satellites. Then zero cooling costs, 100% free power, etc...that is a massively better solution for the world than building these behemoth data centers on earth. Should be the low cost provider in that space (see what I did again).

Good luck to all.

tesla's in vancouver have always been one of the 3 big hubs in north america.

i know MANY tesla millionares from stock alone who bought early and held on. you cant drive 5 minutes on highway here with seeing many on the road, but i know its a specific bubble and locale for that, like san fran etc. I prewired my bosses house for a telsa about 8 years ago and we joke everyday about how we should of invested our pensions in it when I prewired the house for it. alas!

How can anyone get rich on 10-20 shares? I’ll take a look when the stock can be traded freely. To be honest, if you can only buy 10-20 shares that means you’re not in the CLUB! I know I’m not!

 

[Scott CWO]

It could be the best investment in the universe and I wouldn't give that goofy prick a cent. My investments gal has specific instructions for her company to stay away from anything Musk related.

Haha, well if we Conservatives took that strategy about liberal, woke corporations, it would cut out about 90% of investment opportunities. Quit wearing your politics and TDS on your sleeve.

I pretty much bought my piddling few shares as a novelty. Mostly because in 1957 I wrote a science class term paper titled "The Possibility Of Life On Mars". I am hoping to not lose money but have some fun along the way. I will be long gone from here when/if there is ever a manned voyage to mars. Hopefully it will happen someday.

 

[Hornedfrogbbq]

My guess is Mars is decades away. But selling compute for tens of billions of dollars can pay for alot of stuff.

Musk is a giant asshole. Trump even thinks so now and he's a pretty good judge of assholes. He's picked a bunch of them for cabinet positions.

 

[Hornedfrogbbq]

We're not picking friends or having an ethics highjump competition. We invest in folks that generate value for their shareholders. Musk may be a dick...could be true, i don't know the man...never met him. But he has also generated billions of dollars of income, democratization communications to poor countries like Africa, helped Ukraine and the US government on defense and modeled massively hard work and long hours trying to chase a dream. I don't know how many folks in Canada would be pissed if you took their Starlink away but i bet there would be more than a couple of mittens raised in protest.

He is odd. Got a little tippy-toe-tism. Crazy philosophy on having bunches of kids. If you would like to invest in banking, cash, whatever, that sounds like a sound strategy and you are matching your risk tolerances to your book.

But some of us have made 50x our money (and buddies made multiples of that) and while I think it is overvalued currently, betting against the man has been a disaster.

Maybe you should get a borrow and short his stock?

I was going to ask why someone with such overt personality issues would have a problem with someone with personality issues…
