Musk Targets Retail Investors For Up To 30% Of SpaceX's IPO Shares Elon Musk is planning a highly unconventional IPO for SpaceX, aiming to make it one of the largest public offerings ever, with a target raise in the tens of billions, according to the Wall Street Journal . Instead of relying solely on the standard investor roadshow, he is considering bringing investors directly to SpaceX sites, where they could tour facilities and potentially witness rocket launches—turning the pitch into an immersive experience designed to build excitement and demand. A central part of the strategy is reshaping who gets access to shares. Musk wants to allocate a much larger share of the IPO to retail investors—possibly a third or more—far above the typical allocation. He is also exploring giving priority access to loyal supporters, such as Tesla shareholders and individuals who have backed his other ventures, reinforcing his pattern of rewarding his existing base. The WSJ writes that at the same time, SpaceX may depart from traditional IPO rules around insider selling. Some early investors could be required to hold their shares longer than usual to help stabilize the stock, while others might face fewer restrictions and be allowed to sell earlier. Bloomberg adds that SpaceX plans to begin more formal investor outreach in April through “testing-the-waters” meetings, where executives will share deeper financial and strategic details ahead of the IPO. These sessions are expected to clarify how the company justifies its massive valuation target. The offering could aim for a valuation above $1.7 trillion, putting SpaceX among the largest companies in the world if achieved. Investor interest is especially focused on how newer initiatives—like its AI business (xAI), space-based data centers, and long-term lunar ambitions—factor into that valuation. Financially, most of SpaceX’s revenue still comes from its launch services and Starlink satellite business, with projected revenue nearing $20 ...

Midnight Studio/iStock via Getty Images Recently I was reading an article from Morgan Stanley ( MS ): “Who Is On The Other Side?” and it is an article rich in so many aspects that it is even difficult to summarize all the ideas. But in this article, I will draw some parallels with the current market and with my own experiences applying some of these concepts, such as time arbitrage as a “superpower”. A Word About Time Arbitrage The Morgan Stanley article, specifically by authors Michael J. Mauboussin and Dan Callahan, draws on Treynor to explain what time arbitrage is and how it can be used by the investor to improve their returns. The concept is quite simple to understand; basically, it is understood that an investor operating in different timeframes than other investors manages to have an edge. For instance, think if you are a hedge fund manager. There is a gigantic pressure for you to beat your benchmark, which for stocks is generally the S&P 500 ( SPY ) ( IVV ). Even if the manager is not exactly a short term trader, he will still be affected by this pressure to choose the right investments but also to have them work out as quickly as possible. That is, you don’t want to buy a stock with a high margin of safety and have it stay sideways for 3 years, even if in the 4th year it compensates for all that waiting. As a manager who will be evaluated by customers not only against the benchmark but also against your peers, you want your total return to look “good” and better than the average in timeframes suitable for your strategy. Since the market is short-termist, and many people choose their funds based on total return, often in short windows, such as 6 months and 1 year, this pressure is truly significant. The investor base also matters for institutional investors; even if you believe in a stock, perhaps you have to sell at an inopportune moment just because a part of your investor base wants to withdraw their money at that moment. Now, think if you are an individu...
