SpaceX valued at just $780 billion by Morningstar, less than half its IPO target

Exactly, science is dead in the US, Musk and Trump killed it.

SpaceX would be doing much better in an administration that didn't carpet bomb the space program along with almost every other form of subsidized scientific research.

As it stands people are starting to die in large numbers from the collapse of the US healthcare system from project 2025, Trump, Musk and others, the whole fuss about putting rockets far into space is going to be forgotten here pretty damn fast in favor of conversations that center more closely around individual survival.

Many won’t have much of a choice. NASDAQ recently changed the rules so that large enough companies can be added to the index within 15 days of IPO. If they do that then everyone with ETFs or mutual funds that follow the index will be owning SpaceX stock whether they realize it or not. This will likely happen before the average person even realizes it.
