🚨 SpaceX just pulled off the greatest financial engineering feat of the century. In about a week.
Here's everything that happened, in order:
– Folded xAI into a rocket company, turning "space logistics" into an "AI infrastructure" story overnight
– Priced the IPO at a flat $135. No book-building, no range. Take it or leave it
– Floated just 4% of the company. 556 million shares against 13 billion
– Raised $75 billion at a $1.77 trillion valuation, near 100x revenue
– Lobbied to get into major indices in ~15 trading days. Amazon took years. Forced buying, by law
– Handed an unusually large slice of the float to retail. Tiny supply, an army of buyers
– Watched the stock rocket past $200, up nearly 20% in a single session
– Saw ~46% of the entire float trade hands in one day
– Then announced a $60 billion all-stock buyout of Cursor, the AI coding tool
– Structured it so the higher the stock trades, the fewer shares it has to print to pay
A company losing $4 billion a quarter is now buying AI startups with paper it manufactured out of a 4% float.
The scarcity that pumped the stock now makes its shopping spree cheaper.
This isn't aerospace. It isn't even AI.
It's the finest financial engineering of the century, and it's only week one.
офигенная ситуативка от LEVIS
в сан франциско есть Levi’s stadium, на котором играют сейчас матчи чемпионата мира
но FIFA не хочет никому давать бесплатную рекламу, поэтому заставили левайс или покупать спонсорский пакет и платить или завесить свой логотип
левайс платить отказались, логотип закрыли, но вместе с этим изменили свое лого в инсте на этот силуэт

The same Lewis Hamilton who used a corporate leasing structure to save money on taxes (around £3.3 million in VAT) when acquiring his Bombardier Challenger 605 private jet in 2013? The same Lewis Hamilton who bought the £16.5 million jet through his British Virgin Islands company (Stealth Aviation Ltd) and who then set up an Isle of Man leasing company (Stealth (IOM) Ltd, to import it into the EU and sub-leased it to a UK jet management firm (TAG Aviation), which in turn provided it back to Hamilton and his Guernsey company under charter agreements? *That* Lewis Hamilton?
Every 20 years, a Boeing Lufty jet sacrifices it’s nose gear and bows to the terminal at FRA in a very holy ceremony. It’s a blessing to all the airline travelers of the world that they make their connections. Saint Lufthansa 🙏
