Why is everyone writing about SPCE?

=== SUMMARY === - The post is a confused retail investor asking why everyone is talking about SPCE (Virgin Galactic), suspecting it might be mistaken for SpaceX (ticker SPCX, not yet public). - The author does not present a thesis or trade idea; the post is pure confusion and a request for clarification. - Quality assessment: noise – no research, no analysis, simply a question based on social media chatter. === SENTIMENT === MIXED === TRADE IDEAS === No actionable trade ideas in this post. === COMMENTS SUMMARY === The community overwhelmingly treats SPCE as a meme proxy for SpaceX, with top comments joking that "SPCE is SpaceX" or that shares will convert. A detailed comment notes the stock has risen from $2 to $6 on high short interest, suggesting a possible short squeeze ahead of the June 12 SPCX IPO date, but warns it could be a pump‑and‑dump. Most comments are speculative, humorous, or factually incorrect, offering no concrete, well‑reasoned trade thesis.
