SpaceX Mindshare and Math

The scale of which SpaceX has hit the public markets is amazing to see.

I read this long essay by Marc Andreessen on the company and Elon and it is hard to to be impressed or excited about the company, the origin and the vision. Have a read.

Here is what the ticker looks like on Stocktwits (mobile iOS) below. Notice the one big green bar in the week of it’s IPO. The ticker already has 74,000 followers, which is a speed record on Stocktwits watchlist uptake. But still investors may not be taking this serious enough considering it is now the FOURTH largest market cap in the world right now trailing only $NVDA ( ▼ 1.57% ) , $AAPL ( ▲ 0.49% ) and $GOOG ( ▼ 0.05% ) . Tesla has over 1 million followers on Stocktwits so I imagine this sporead narrows fast.

The how rich is Elon memes are coming fast and furious. My favorite yesterday…

Elon somehow still finds time to engage all day on his platform Twitter, yesterday joining in on a popular Stocktwits meme that worries Jim Cramer is jinxing his stock…

Elon is now the founder and CEO of two of the largest companies in the world and seed funded Open AI. I doubt nothing would make him happier than to see Open AI fail and lose all his money.

As an American, I am glad the US has a space lead.

While I am not an Elon fanboy, I wonder what he would look like in the public eye if he was embraced by the government and the public like an athlete/olympian rather than an entrepreneur that has to battle everyone all day, everyday.

The mindshare he is taking up in AOC, Bernie and Liz Warren’s heads makes me smile.

I have a lot of friends that have made a lot of money betting on SpaceX so congrats to everyone that had the foresight to ride this.

Have a great day.
