SpaceX IPOs at $2.89T Market Cap, US Govt Suspends Fable & Mythos 5, Altman Delays OpenAI’s IPO | EP #265
"SpaceX's IPO was the largest single-day creation of millionaires in history. Roughly 4,400 SpaceX employees became millionaires. Another 400 became centi-millionaires and billionaires. This is what abundance looks like. It's value created, not value extracted."
SpaceX completed the world's largest IPO ever on Friday, opening at $135 per share and reaching a market cap of $2.89 trillion, making Elon Musk the world's first trillionaire at $1.3-1.4 trillion. The IPO instantly created over 4,400 employee millionaires and 400 centi-millionaires, representing unprecedented wealth creation. Hosts noted this marks a civilizational shift where the fifth largest company globally is now a space exploration firm, signaling hard tech's return to dominance over software.
