Just 10 days after the company’s blockbuster IPO, buyers of its initial public shares are in the red.
Shares of Elon Musk’s SpaceX tech conglomerate plunged 16% Monday to close below their price on June 12, the date of the company’s massive initial public offering.
It was its third-straight trading day of declines for a company that just 10 days ago orchestrated the largest IPO ever.
At Monday’s closing price of $154.60, the average investor who bought SpaceX shares on the open market after its debut has now seen most of their gains disappear, market data shows.



Honestly, if it was just SpaceX + Starlink as the IPO, I might be interested in picking some up. A healthy business is good business, especially when it is useful to society.
Grok is a poison pill, because it is a bad AI that isn’t in a healthy place. Quite bluntly, Chinese offerings are superior to their American counterparts, because they aren’t poisoned by bad economics and are very performant on local hardware. On top of that, the IPO is suspect because it circumvented the rules that were intended to protect investors from bad outcomes.
All in all, this thing stinks like hell, and Musk is a fish’s head.
