Elon The Great
Many people once thought Elon Musk is Tony Stark, but now he is more similar to Peter Weyland.
Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman argued that Elon Musk’s wealth and business ecosystem operate like a "human Ponzi scheme" in a Substack article published on June 12, 2026. His criticism coincided with SpaceX launching its initial public offering (IPO) on the Nasdaq.
Krugman differentiates Musk's enterprises from traditional Ponzi schemes by pointing out the systemic risk to the general public. Because Wall Street incorporates these massively valued companies into major indexes, ordinary Americans will end up holding these stocks through standard retirement accounts and index funds, regardless of whether they choose to actively invest in Musk
Congratulations on purchasing probably the dumbest stock in history. Probably the stupidest people ive ever seen.
Charles M. C. Lee of Stanford, noted that SpaceX entered public trading at an astronomical valuation—roughly 1,000 times its trailing 12-month revenue.

Overpriced junk!
What happened to that Car he launched into Space?
Before anyone throws their life savings into this IPO, remember that SpaceX is basically a glorified government contractor. They are completely tethered to federal funding, NASA contracts, and shifting political whims. The moment regulatory red tape slows down Starship launches or a shifting administration decides to diversify its launch providers, that trillion-dollar valuation vanishes into thin air. You're not investing in a free-market tech powerhouse; you're betting your capital on federal bureaucracy and a single company's ability to keep sucking on the taxpayer teat indefinitely. Good luck with that
