Sigh, in this new world of multiple series I don't think I'll get a chance to invest at all "early" in this company but I would if I could :-). One of those companies that I really like the product. So I continue to wait for their IPO if they decide to go that route.

SpaceX won't IPO until Musk is convinced that investors would not back out of his plans to go to Mars.

Could he not just remain a majority shareholder, thereby preventing a shift in direction?

I vaguely recall a quote from Musk saying something like SpaceX wouldn't IPO until it was making regular deliveries to a martian colony.
