SpaceX shares crashed below the $135 IPO price, wiping out $1 trillion since June. A scrubbed Starship launch and upcoming investor lockups triggered the selloff.

    What I find interesting about this is that everybody knew exactly what would happen, and then it happened. It’s a perfect counterexample to the logic of “this system isn’t perfect, but it’s the best thing we have.” It’s just the rich and powerful using leveraging their wealth and power to become even more so, and under the current rules nobody can stop them.

    Obvious Pump & Dump Sees Investor Slump, more at 11

    It didn’t vanish. The early investors got their money and the naive buyers left holding their empty bags.
    This is what they call exit liquidity.

    Exit liquidity refers to investors who buy assets at inflated prices, enabling earlier investors to sell at a profit.
    These later investors often incur losses as asset values decline.

    It is very common in crypto and in volatile tech stocks.

      They also got it on the NASDAQ so if you have an index fund that follows that you bought into it.

        A lot of people really dont understand this.

        SpaceX got the money. Its on their balance sheet.

        Everyone who bought at $135 IPO price was giving money to SpaceX.

        Everyone since then is just trading shares between each other.

        The real shitshow starts once insiders can sell, until that happens we wont really know what price the market will settle at.

            This is mainly just showing a lot of option conversions / actions that happened because of the merger / IPO.

            There’s a small sale on the first form in March, and the 2nd form in April

        How early?
        I made my entry on the 8th June and sold on the 15th June expecting the crash.

          The big players that invested years ago. They aren’t allowed to dump their stock on day 1 because of the obvious issues. But as they are allowed to sell, that increases the selling pressure as well as increasing the share pool available.

    Musk is already the person who lost the most wealth a while ago (biggest loser ever to have walked this earth). So now he beats his own record.

      The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

      The stock hit $123 on Friday. It’s still got a $1.6T market cap. I have no idea where they got that headline from.

    In a way SpaceX did me a favor. I dumped my NASDAQ composite fund before they started carrying SpaceX. It’s been on a downward trend ever since.
