- Concern: Investors are blindly sinking their life savings into Elon Musk's promises, which have repeatedly fallen flat — from Optimus robots to autonomous driving, skepticism is rampant.
- Concern: The bond's drop in value right after issue screams trouble; it's a stark indicator of how investors view SpaceX's future, raising serious operational risk concerns.
- Concern: Changing Nasdaq rules to fast-track SpaceX's inclusion feels like a manipulation of standards, leading to premature investments before the stock can find its true value.
- Concern: With SpaceX's bond rated junk, it highlights a troubling reality: the company is in a capital-intensive business facing high costs of borrowing, making future fundraising precarious.
