Is SpaceX planning the largest initial public offering in financial history?
Patrick Boyle examines the proposed $1.75 trillion valuation of SpaceX. This video explores how Elon Musk may be integrating AI and social media ventures into the aerospace company to justify its massive price tag and the potential risks for passive investors.

The analysis highlights concerns regarding the use of low-float strategies and fast-track index inclusion rules to manipulate the Nasdaq 100. These tactics could effectively turn 401(k) retirement accounts into exit liquidity for company insiders, while creating a significant disconnect between EBITDA projections and actual GAAP financial results.
