Summary

SpaceX IPO broke records with a $3 trillion valuation, making Elon Musk the first trillionaire. The hosts discuss the company's $60 billion stock-based acquisition of Cursor, its 4% public float, and an aggressive unlock schedule that could cause volatility. They express extreme long-term bullishness on SpaceX while acknowledging near-term risks, and Ejaaz flags Google and NVIDIA as overlooked competitors.

  • SpaceX IPO launched at $135 and surged 50% to over $200, reaching a $3 trillion market cap.
  • Only 4% of shares are publicly traded, with large unlocks of 4.4x the float in 90 days and 56% in 180 days.
  • Elon Musk acquired AI firm Cursor for $60 billion in an all-stock deal, effectively for free due to the inflated share price.
  • Both hosts are highly bullish long-term on SpaceX, citing its vision, revenue potential, and market-cap growth probabilities.
  • Short-term traders may also profit from current retail demand and front-running the unlock events.
  • Ejaaz highlights Alphabet (Google) as an underappreciated vertically integrated AI player that is 'very slept on.'
  • Ejaaz notes NVIDIA's expansion beyond GPUs into CPUs and space-ready hardware, making it more than just a chip play.
  • The episode ends with a call for audience feedback on whether the hosts' bullish stance is right or wrong.

Long-term SpaceX investors win
Josh is hyper-bullish on SpaceX for the long term, projecting it will become the most valuable company in the world. He cites Thomas LaFont’s probability research: companies reaching $1 trillion market cap have over 60% odds of reaching $10 trillion. He sees SpaceX's engineering team, vision (Starship, Starlink, AI compute), and leadership as unmatched, and a $10 trillion valuation as conservative if they hit $1 trillion in revenue by 2030. He recommends building a long-term position.

Google is quietly winning AI race
Google is underappreciated in the AI race. It is the only vertically integrated company that has mastered distribution and infrastructure. While missing from the top of the market-cap chart, it is 'very slept on' and will be a major competitor as frontier AI labs IPO.

NVIDIA more than just a GPU company
NVIDIA is underestimated as just a GPU play. Jensen has entered the CPU market, already generating $20B in annual revenue, and is building space-proof GPUs for Elon's rockets. This diversification and continued expansion beyond its core make it a resilient competitor.
