SpaceX has baled out Grok, Twitter and Tesla, so now it's our turn to bale out SpaceX in the IPO.

The American tax payer has been bailing out Tesla and SpaceX for many years. Elon is the biggest welfare queen in history.

>AutoForecast Solutions vice president Sam Fiorani told the newspaper, “Tesla is running out of buyers for the Cybertruck.”

Well there are currently 0 CTs in new and used inventory and it says a 2 month wait to buy a new one.

It is, obviously, pretty embarrassing for the company, but will likely also be problematic from a regulatory POV if it continues after spacex IPOs.

The SpaceX IPO is going to be a test of how long and for how much finance bros can remain detached from reality. A while ago now Elon said the quiet part out loud about cyber truck digging Tesla's grave. Artemis has been to the moon and back, and the only people who will argue for Starship are the same ones who think the $39,000 cybertruck was real.

Jeff Bezos should lean into his resemblance to Cecil the turtle, and troll Elon with an AI cartoon after the coming New Glenn launch. Suggested title "Hare Implants."

I remember a lot of the same sentiment about Tesla a few years ago, when there were massive short positions against it. Today, it sells more electric vehicles than all other US automakers combined.

And Artemis has no relevance to the Starship.

Dude, you believe in crypto. Of course you believe in orbital data centers.
