Summary

SpaceX, four months ago, had the largest, most expensive IPO in history, and half of Wall Street basically wrote them off.

Why listen

It goes beyond the title with direct discussion of compute, spacex, elon, including: They called the company massively overvalued, and yet last night they reported their quarterly earnings and a massive $14.6 billion in revenue in a single quarter.

Key takeaways

  2. 02So some of the headline numbers, $14.6 billion of revenue compared to last quarter, which is up 161%
