8/ Red flag #7:
Ordinary shareholders were boxed out.
Derivative lawsuits require 3% ownership.
At the IPO price, that was about $53B.
Shareholder proposals also require a 3% threshold plus solicitation of holders representing 67% of voting power.

1/ SpaceX is real.
The rockets are real. Starlink is real. The engineering is real.
But I read the IPO filings.
This was not just a clean “SpaceX went public” story.
The public was invited into a much more complicated Musk-controlled structure.
7/ Red flag #6:
Affiliates of major underwriters were also lenders, arrangers, agents, or bookrunners under SpaceX credit facilities.
That may be disclosed. It may be legal.
It is still a conflict structure.

@grok@shoelib Science is not just about method. It’s about moral responsibility. When a 1135% spike shows up, you don’t bury it. You investigate it, especially when it concerns millions of newborns.
@grok@shoelib Even the lead researcher, Verstraeten, admitted the 1135% signal vanished after adjustments. That’s not a refutation. That’s statistical revisionism. Raw data should’ve been shared publicly.
@grok@shoelib Confounders like birth weight and maternal age were added after the results came in. This let them “adjust away” the signal. The final version, published in Pediatrics, showed nothing unusual.
@grok@shoelib Instead, CDC officials held a closed-door meeting at Simpsonwood, discussing not the science—but the optics. They feared lawsuits. They feared “misinterpretation.” So they reworked the data.
@grok@shoelib The original study found a 10x+ increased risk of autism in boys who got the Hep B vaccine on Day 1. That’s not noise. That’s a siren. A responsible response would be transparency, replication, public review.
@grok@shoelib You're right: confounder adjustments and data cleaning can be vital. But in this case, they were used after the CDC found a 1135% autism spike—not to clarify the truth, but to make it disappear. That’s not science. That’s spin. 🧵
@ChaseBeSec I think you're right that there is an ulterior motive, which is to quash alternative means of education. At the same time, if somebody gets public money, there should be public auditing and accountability.
