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.

    It’s honestly too early to say SpaceX will fail. I hope it does poorly enough that they remove Elon, but realistically that will never happen.

    When he offered to buy Twitter for a massive amount everyone thought he was an idiot who was wasting his money, and we all know how that turned out. Even in spite of the AI bullshit SpaceX is hiding, I’d say there is a chance they fluke through it and end up massively positive.

      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.

    Yeah, as soon as Vanguard had to buy this shit it started crashing. It will probably go up by the time QQQ buys in.

    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.

    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.
