· 3 pulledSteve Hanley had an excellent article this week discussing how the SpaceX IPO may well be a boondoggle to bail out a couple of Elon Musk ventures and enrich a few friends.
It's honestly a bit shocking once you get into the details of the IPO.
I think most of us knew that SpaceX bailed out X and xAI, and that the IPO helps with that, but I had no idea of the extent of the bailout and how much of the raised money would go to just a few people.
