SpaceX debuted on the public market with a strong price jump, pushing Elon Musk's net worth past $1 trillion. Experts on the Prof G Markets podcast argue the IPO was engineered to create scarcity, with only 5% of shares issued and $3.75 billion reserved for insiders without lockup. They predict the stock could halve in value over six months as these shares hit the market. Competitors like Rocket Lab, EchoStar, and AST SpaceMobile have already seen stock declines, reflecting investor rotation. The key factor to watch is the upcoming lockup expirations, which could trigger significant selling and impact the broader space sector stocks.
