Shares of SpaceX fell as much as 7% Thursday to $178, leaving the stock trading roughly in line with its volume-weighted average price of just under $180.
Don’t worry. We all get to prop up this failing stock in the next few days, when the Indexes start getting forcibly loaded up with Elmo’s latest meme stock. Then the disease will just be endemic in our portfolios.

Indexes won’t start buying into these stocks for a few more months. And they aren’t forced to buy. They set their own policies, they answer to their own boards, and they can absolutely choose to avoid this stock if they choose.
I would say the bigger threat is SPCX stock undergoing the same manipulation and price-pumping we saw happen with Tesla. When the SEC is fully castrated, the Feds have already acknowledged SpaceX is “Too Big To Fail”, and the big banks all have oodles of shares leveraged to the hilt, there’s a vested interest across the board in this stock going up up up forever.
Then the disease will just be endemic in our portfolios.
The disease is the stock market as a whole. Asset inflation creates malinvestment. The fixation on economic growth means we’ll immolate useful capital in the name of the Big Number Going Up. And disproportionate ownership stakes cause property to congeal into fewer and fewer hands with every generation.
Our portfolios aren’t at risk, because our porfolios are less and less important to the final valuation of these markets. This is six big companies sucking each other off in an ouroboros of graft and fraud. If the markets went to zero tomorrow, we’d be far better off over the long run than if this post-COVID bull run never ends.
I don’t own any ai effected tech stock, but I know my entire portfolio will go down when the ai bubble bursts. Sucks. Not sure if I’ll try and sell off and buy the dip back in, or just ride it out, yet.
The good news is that all of the SpaceX top valuation won’t actually drag all of our Collective portfolios if it were to collapse, it will sting a bit but all of us invested in, say, VTI and VOO, can absorb that much stupid.
I wonder what happens if there’s a handful of companies immediately behind it they look just like it though. Thankfully S&P 500 has said that they will not index SpaceX until they actually earn it through profitability.
I own a tremendous amount of AI affected tech stocks relative to the rest of my portfolio, and I’m trying to divest but doing so bleeds me through additional capital gains taxes for my state, which I wholeheartedly believe should exist as long as the billionaires have to pay them, too. It’s just a difficult calculation for how much risk I want to wear versus how much capital gains I want to incur to make my way towards the exits to put my money in more boring things.
