With the rise in nationalist populism and a rapidly expanding defense tech ecosystem, it is probably safe to assume that every country with a defense budget over ~$20B will domestically produce cheap group 2/3 one-way attack drones. The tech and production are relatively commoditized and non-exquisite with very little IP moat, so it’s an easy domestic win. Export markets will be limited given that anyone that CAN build them themselves WILL.

Congrats to @elonmusk and @SpaceX on the largest IPO in history. Tens of thousands worked to tackle some of the hardest engineering problems imaginable, revolutionizing an industry in service of their nation and humanity, are now fully realizing the American Dream🇺🇸 May this moment spark many more companies like it across the domains of the future, unlocking new capabilities and prosperity for those who dare to dream.

What do you think SpaceX’s mission is?
Really hard to imagine becoming a trillionaire and not wanting to immediately liquidate enough assets to give at least a few hundred billion to organizations making the world a better place.

Bought a few shares just to be part of history. If it goes up or down, it won’t matter. Just helping out.

While today's IPO is good for SpaceX (and deservedly so). It is broadening the aperture of opportunity for all US commercial space companies. That's good for the nation, and it's good for all of us who work to see America retain the leadership of space technology and innovation for generations to come. 🚀🇺🇸

never ever ever bet against elon
NEWS: Founders Fund turned a $600 million bet on SpaceX into more than $50 billion. Peter Thiel's Founders Fund was the first institutional investor in SpaceX. It put in about $600 million across several rounds over nearly 20 years. At the $135 $SPCX IPO price, that roughly 3% stake is worth more than $50 billion, Bloomberg reports. It is one of the great venture bets of all time. Founders Fund is not alone. Bloomberg says Valor Equity holds about 4% worth nearly $70 billion. Andreessen Horowitz sits on more than $10 billion. Thiel saw it coming. "I would never bet against Elon in anything." Hard rule number one in Silicon Valley.

SpaceX went public this morning. In a speech at Starbase, Elon Musk said his goal is to “take the fiction out of science fiction.” This is no ordinary IPO — it’s a bet on the future of humanity, as @eventidia argues. Anyone quibbling over EBITDA is missing the point. (Kindly shut the f*ck up, EBITDA-quibblers, we’re going to f*cking Mars.) Full story 👇
