> "but it is a trash bag of Musk ventures and crimes"
If people really want to take anti-Musk articles seriously, the hyperbole should be controlled. Elon's no saint, but his companies are not a criminal enterprise.
So how many years can Tesla lie about FSD before it becomes a crime? How much CSAM and revenge porn can X generate before it becomes a crime? How many bribes can he give the president before it becomes a crime? How much data can his lackeys at DOGE exfiltrate before it becomes a crime? How many poor people can he kill before it becomes a crime?
How many sig heils and eugenics memes can he emit until he's considered a bad person?
Was it really ment to mimic the fuhrer you think? Who told you that? I think it's a typical propaganda framing technique used to frame someone into a position.
It’s people like you that cause Tesla to have a massively inflated 25x the market cap of Volkswagen AG with only half the profits. The Cult of Tesla is too big to fail.
Who else is atleast attempting to bring chip manufacturing to the US with terafab and that too while using another US companies’ most advanced chip since they will be using Intel’s 14A process. There’s a good chance this brings Intel back from a decline. I’m in full support of humanoid robots and Optimus could be promising. Both SpaceX and Starlink provide a lot of value.
SpaceX is still only going to be a tiny percentage of the stocks you own in an index fund. It doesn't make sense to let this single article affect your decision making. It's obviously completely biased and cherry picking specifics (like the exact window of time you'd have needed to have a negative return in the stock market).
I'm pretty mad about the blatant manipulation of index funds by spacex, and I looked into how to avoid the IPO. If you're like me, the amount of unrealized gains from index funds over the past few years mean the tax penalty of exiting these funds is just too big (the majority of my money is not in tax advantage accounts like a 401k). If not for the tax reasons, I would probably go with a direct index. Vanguard and Fidelity both have em. But honestly even at inflated float ratios this stock makes a very small part of the overall index. What I hate is forcibly being made party to such blatant manipulation, but like any other "concentrated benefits, diffuse costs" situation, it's probably too low a real cost for most people to deal with.
Since Trump is in charge, there is a high chance that this global stock market casino can go bankrupt as well. He is having a hand of Midas that works in reverse.

And spaceX was just denied fast index entry https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-06-04/s-p-dow-j...
