=== SUMMARY === - Post questions whether SpaceX’s upcoming IPO, given special regulatory treatment and high valuation, could trigger a financial crisis if it fails. - Author cites a Patrick Boyle video and concerns about Elon’s track record; admits lack of expertise and asks for counterarguments. - Quality assessment: Speculation/noise – no original research or data, just a what-if posed by a student. === SENTIMENT === NEUTRAL === TRADE IDEAS === No actionable trade ideas in this post. === COMMENTS SUMMARY === The community overwhelmingly rejects the thesis, calling it “stupid” and noting SpaceX lacks the market share to be systemic (unlike NVDA). Comments highlight that a SpaceX crash would be a symptom of a broader bubble, not a cause, and that interest rates/inflation are the real worry.
