Consider this risk: this is the largest IPO in history, and the CEO is controversial among the plebes. There's only so much high conviction capital to go around. There will be plenty of Elon fans who will sell TSLA to buy SPCX. That's downward pressure on TSLA. Plus, Elon isn't going to want to juice the stock pre-merger.
From Starlink to FSD to EVTOLs, technology is disrupting the monopoly cities have on commercial activity.
How many people live in a (often a poorly administered, dirty, unsafe) city solely because they MUST for work?
Fast forward 3 years. You can buy a Tesla RoboVan with a sleeper cab in the back. Get in at 5am, sleep for another hour, wake up, have breakfast, watch some TV, arrive at work rested and happy 2 hours later. Commute times become far, far less inconvenient.
Under no circumstances would I want to own real estate in ANY downtown metro right now. They've been historically priced against comps down the street. Now the comp radius is any house within 2 hours.
Only one chance in this lifetime…
Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.
I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.
I have a secret to share
After your first $2–$3 million, a paid off home and a good car, there is no difference in quality of life between you and Jeff Bezos. Both of you have limited amount of time on earth; you have twice if not more than Jeff, so you are richer than him. A cheeseburger is a cheeseburger whether a billionaire eats or you do.
Money is nothing but a piece of paper or a number in your app. Real life is outdoors.
Become financially independent; that’s usually 2–3mil. Have good food. Enjoy the relations. Workout. Sleep well. Call your parents. That’s all there is to life. Greed has no end.
Repeat after me: Time is the currency of life. Money is not.
Sooner you figure this out, happier you will be.
@WeTheBrandon That's not even really a possibility now. It's out of his control. There's no un-bombing or un-mining possible.
Plan for reality as it is, not as you wish it to be.
