1
00:00:00,020 --> 00:00:03,330
Ejaaz:
Four days. That's how long SpaceX has been a public company.

2
00:00:03,330 --> 00:00:08,090
Ejaaz:
And in those four days, it's broken just about every single IPO record that there's ever been.

3
00:00:08,590 --> 00:00:13,280
Ejaaz:
They blew past Amazon and Microsoft's valuation, reaching a $3 trillion valuation.

4
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,340
Ejaaz:
It is the fourth most valuable company in the world.

5
00:00:16,460 --> 00:00:20,430
Ejaaz:
But Elon also became the world's first trillionaire. He made more money in one

6
00:00:20,430 --> 00:00:25,000
Ejaaz:
day than Warren Buffett has made in his entire life. Just absolutely insane.

7
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:29,590
Ejaaz:
The stock itself, Off the price is already 50% above its IPO price,

8
00:00:29,900 --> 00:00:34,000
Ejaaz:
and they've already made their first acquisition, $60 billion to acquire Cursor

9
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,470
Ejaaz:
to become the number one frontier AI lab

10
00:00:37,170 --> 00:00:39,090
Ejaaz:
it's not all unstoppable for

11
00:00:39,090 --> 00:00:43,430
Ejaaz:
SpaceX right now. Only 4% of the stock supply is available to purchase.

12
00:00:43,670 --> 00:00:48,430
Ejaaz:
And the company is valued at 107x its earnings. This is the largest gap that

13
00:00:48,430 --> 00:00:51,970
Ejaaz:
we've seen for any Mag 7 company or top Fortune 500 company.

14
00:00:52,260 --> 00:00:55,540
Ejaaz:
And there's an aggressive unlock schedule, which we'll get on later in the episode.

15
00:00:55,540 --> 00:00:58,460
Ejaaz:
But the number one question that's on my mind, and I'm sure a lot of your minds

16
00:00:58,460 --> 00:01:04,730
Ejaaz:
is, is SpaceX the investment of the century? Or is this the strongest signal that we in an AI bubble.

17
00:01:05,020 --> 00:01:07,760
Josh:
Well, according to Elon, it is. He just posted that they're going to have a

18
00:01:07,770 --> 00:01:09,600
Josh:
trillion dollars of revenue by the end of the decade.

19
00:01:09,710 --> 00:01:13,220
Josh:
That is going to be a tremendous amount of upside. And retail seems to agree.

20
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,730
Josh:
I was looking at this chart just before we started recording that showed over

21
00:01:16,730 --> 00:01:20,790
Josh:
the last two trading sessions, retail investors bought nearly as much SpaceX

22
00:01:20,790 --> 00:01:24,570
Josh:
as every other single US stock combined.

23
00:01:24,750 --> 00:01:28,570
Josh:
And it's been amazing. The first day of trading, it was up, what is it, 20%?

24
00:01:28,740 --> 00:01:32,930
Josh:
Second day, 20%. Third day, 5%. Today, as we're recording, this is up another 5%.

25
00:01:33,220 --> 00:01:36,590
Josh:
The thing has been up only. It eclipsed a $3 trillion market cap,

26
00:01:36,970 --> 00:01:40,770
Josh:
making it the fourth most valuable company in the world over Microsoft.

27
00:01:40,770 --> 00:01:43,620
Josh:
I mean, look at this chart. It's crazy. We have NVIDIA, Alphabet,

28
00:01:43,620 --> 00:01:47,220
Josh:
which is Google, Apple, SpaceX, and Microsoft in the top five.

29
00:01:47,220 --> 00:01:51,890
Josh:
It's unbelievable that this new company comes on the scene and is immediately among the top five.

30
00:01:52,220 --> 00:01:55,920
Josh:
And it has been doing really well for good reason. There's a very strong outlook

31
00:01:56,150 --> 00:01:58,670
Josh:
on revenue, on guidance, on the actual company.

32
00:01:58,670 --> 00:02:03,760
Josh:
But man, like you said, Ejaz, it's very expensive and there's a lot to get into

33
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,730
Josh:
with this as it relates to how expensive this is but it's a double-sided sword,

34
00:02:08,450 --> 00:02:13,730
Josh:
because this premium that the stock has allows it to do really interesting things

35
00:02:13,730 --> 00:02:18,650
Josh:
like for example purchase a company for 60 billion dollars effectively for free

36
00:02:19,070 --> 00:02:22,060
Josh:
and that has some upside for the stock as well so there's a lot of really exciting

37
00:02:22,060 --> 00:02:24,740
Josh:
things that have been happening with spacex it's doing well i think the answer

38
00:02:24,740 --> 00:02:27,680
Josh:
that i want to give by at the end of this episode is,

39
00:02:28,380 --> 00:02:31,670
Josh:
Should you be investing in this now? And what is our kind of forward outlook?

40
00:02:31,830 --> 00:02:38,790
Ejaaz:
So let's get into what exactly happened. On Friday, they IPO'd 555.6 million

41
00:02:38,790 --> 00:02:40,950
Ejaaz:
shares were released for trading.

42
00:02:41,590 --> 00:02:47,740
Ejaaz:
That's around 4.3 to 4.7 of the entire share supply. So not that much.

43
00:02:47,740 --> 00:02:53,020
Ejaaz:
And we'll get into why that might be problematic later, but at a fixed price of $135.

44
00:02:53,210 --> 00:02:56,370
Ejaaz:
Now, immediately upon listing, it hit $160.

45
00:02:56,580 --> 00:03:00,060
Ejaaz:
And by the end of trading on Friday, I think it was sitting just above $200.

46
00:03:00,060 --> 00:03:03,700
Ejaaz:
And then like you mentioned, it's been on a subsequent run that has put it just

47
00:03:03,700 --> 00:03:08,840
Ejaaz:
around 50% above its IPO $135 price.

48
00:03:09,060 --> 00:03:12,670
Ejaaz:
Now, this is absolutely insane, because as I mentioned earlier,

49
00:03:13,690 --> 00:03:17,480
Ejaaz:
There's a large discrepancy between what SpaceX generates as a company.

50
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,130
Ejaaz:
Just last year, they generated around $15 to $18 billion.

51
00:03:21,110 --> 00:03:25,250
Ejaaz:
Now, it's positioned above Amazon and Microsoft, but above Amazon,

52
00:03:25,250 --> 00:03:30,610
Ejaaz:
which comparably generated, I believe, $770 billion last year,

53
00:03:30,740 --> 00:03:33,880
Ejaaz:
of which $80 billion was actual revenue that they earned.

54
00:03:34,210 --> 00:03:37,170
Ejaaz:
Compare that to SpaceX, they lost $4.9 billion.

55
00:03:37,870 --> 00:03:41,340
Ejaaz:
So the multiples are kind of like reaching for a moment, but it was the most

56
00:03:41,340 --> 00:03:44,530
Ejaaz:
insane wealth-creating event ever.

57
00:03:44,530 --> 00:03:49,410
Ejaaz:
Over 4,400 SpaceX employees became millionaires, with I think well over 100

58
00:03:49,410 --> 00:03:53,300
Ejaaz:
of them earning $100 million just from this singular event.

59
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,830
Ejaaz:
Elon himself, as I mentioned, became the world's first trillionaire.

60
00:03:58,110 --> 00:04:01,740
Ejaaz:
And of course, his wealth is mixed up in a lot of different companies.

61
00:04:01,740 --> 00:04:08,320
Ejaaz:
But now SpaceX, his baby, formerly it was Tesla, has now become his main a source

62
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,810
Ejaaz:
of value creation. So the question in everyone's mind is, what are you going

63
00:04:11,810 --> 00:04:13,260
Ejaaz:
to do with all this money?

64
00:04:14,010 --> 00:04:18,890
Ejaaz:
Now, there was an option that we spoke about a few episodes ago around SpaceX

65
00:04:18,890 --> 00:04:22,880
Ejaaz:
potentially acquiring this different company that will allow them to leapfrog

66
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,250
Ejaaz:
and become a frontier AI lab. Turns out that's exactly what Elon did.

67
00:04:27,260 --> 00:04:30,530
Josh:
Yeah, it's pretty amazing how they effectively got it for free.

68
00:04:31,150 --> 00:04:34,860
Josh:
When I think about acquisitions that were made, we can remember the ex-acquisition

69
00:04:34,860 --> 00:04:38,930
Josh:
of Twitter at the time. Yeah. And how it was considered to be this humongous

70
00:04:38,930 --> 00:04:42,050
Josh:
amount of money for 40-something billion dollars that was spent.

71
00:04:42,300 --> 00:04:46,480
Josh:
Cursor just got acquired for 60 billion dollars. And we have to give congratulations

72
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:52,660
Josh:
in order first to the four co-founders who are now worth over 5.5 billion dollars each.

73
00:04:52,820 --> 00:04:55,380
Josh:
Allegedly, we have a great photo, actually, of them we could show.

74
00:04:55,650 --> 00:04:59,730
Josh:
Because these are these are not they're not like grown-ups these like young

75
00:04:59,730 --> 00:05:01,590
Josh:
people they're in their 20s these.

76
00:05:01,590 --> 00:05:03,410
Ejaaz:
Are kids they're kids and

77
00:05:03,410 --> 00:05:07,410
Josh:
They're all multi-billionaires so to these four people on the screen congratulations

78
00:05:07,410 --> 00:05:11,730
Josh:
you have permanently escaped the underclass for life and for probably the next

79
00:05:11,730 --> 00:05:15,450
Josh:
50 generations of life you created an incredible product congratulations,

80
00:05:16,130 --> 00:05:19,480
Josh:
so elon bought it and the way that they bought it was really interesting and

81
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,220
Josh:
also just some backstory for those that don't know cursor is that thing that

82
00:05:22,220 --> 00:05:25,000
Josh:
we talk about a lot called the harness It is basically the,

83
00:05:25,870 --> 00:05:30,890
Josh:
operating system, the body that will embody the Grok and the XAI and probably

84
00:05:30,890 --> 00:05:31,930
Josh:
cursor models in the future.

85
00:05:31,930 --> 00:05:35,160
Josh:
So cursor, incredible company, really a remarkable comeback.

86
00:05:35,390 --> 00:05:38,740
Josh:
And Elon essentially was able to acquire them for free. How?

87
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:43,320
Josh:
Well, if you remember back earlier this year in April, SpaceX locked up an option

88
00:05:43,620 --> 00:05:47,970
Josh:
to either pay $10 billion for a partnership or buy the whole company for $60 billion.

89
00:05:48,610 --> 00:05:52,550
Josh:
At the time, SpaceX stock was not that high. It was still private.

90
00:05:52,870 --> 00:05:57,440
Josh:
It was maybe sub $100 at the time or just above $100, whatever it may be.

91
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:03,650
Josh:
Fast forward to today, that stock is now worth $211. Each stock is worth so

92
00:06:03,650 --> 00:06:04,930
Josh:
much more than it was at the time.

93
00:06:05,070 --> 00:06:07,860
Josh:
What effectively what that means is because they're buying this in all stock,

94
00:06:08,090 --> 00:06:12,700
Josh:
it allows them to basically just grant a significantly less amount of stock

95
00:06:12,700 --> 00:06:16,000
Josh:
to these founders because the price is so much higher. So that option that they

96
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,780
Josh:
paid for earlier in the year is really paying off dividends.

97
00:06:19,070 --> 00:06:22,310
Josh:
And the result is that they got a really steep discount on buying cursor because

98
00:06:22,310 --> 00:06:24,980
Josh:
if they would have bought it just a couple months earlier, the price would have

99
00:06:24,980 --> 00:06:26,370
Josh:
been over double effectively.

100
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:32,160
Ejaaz:
Yeah. So Elon basically bought this amazing frontier AI lab with an inflated

101
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,500
Ejaaz:
currency that was SpaceX stock. And the way he was able to do this was because

102
00:06:35,500 --> 00:06:39,130
Ejaaz:
there's only a 4% float supply for the shares itself.

103
00:06:39,380 --> 00:06:42,300
Ejaaz:
Now, I just want to talk about the option very quickly.

104
00:06:42,900 --> 00:06:48,600
Ejaaz:
It was $10 billion that Cursor would pay them if they decided to not acquire Cursor.

105
00:06:48,820 --> 00:06:53,590
Ejaaz:
And they had 30 days. SpaceX had 30 days from the start of the IPO to decide

106
00:06:53,590 --> 00:06:57,780
Ejaaz:
whether they wanted to acquire Cursor or not for an all-star transaction or whatever that might be.

107
00:06:58,630 --> 00:07:02,350
Ejaaz:
Elon exercised that within day four, or actually day three. That was yesterday.

108
00:07:02,350 --> 00:07:03,080
Ejaaz:
This happened yesterday.

109
00:07:03,410 --> 00:07:08,780
Ejaaz:
So he just acted very quickly. And the reason for this is it's not just Cursor's

110
00:07:08,780 --> 00:07:12,410
Ejaaz:
harness on its own. So for any of you who have used Cursor, it's probably the

111
00:07:12,410 --> 00:07:16,390
Ejaaz:
first product that you interacted with to start Vibe coding different types of products.

112
00:07:16,630 --> 00:07:20,640
Ejaaz:
It's the thing that arguably made Vibe coding a very viral thing.

113
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:26,970
Ejaaz:
At one point, Cursor, the product itself, accounted for 40% of Anthropix coding

114
00:07:26,970 --> 00:07:31,680
Ejaaz:
usage for Claude specifically. This was before Claude code became like a viral sensation itself.

115
00:07:31,930 --> 00:07:35,620
Ejaaz:
So Cursor at the time, I think, was making around 1 billion ARR,

116
00:07:35,620 --> 00:07:38,530
Ejaaz:
and now it's like making between 2 to 3 billion ARR.

117
00:07:38,530 --> 00:07:42,730
Ejaaz:
So a really good purchase. But the point is, Elon was able to acquire it using

118
00:07:42,730 --> 00:07:47,190
Ejaaz:
stock at an inflated price, which effectively makes it free. Now, get this.

119
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:53,550
Ejaaz:
$60 billion that Elon just spent to acquire this AI company is more money than

120
00:07:53,870 --> 00:07:58,990
Ejaaz:
Elon spent on SpaceX for rockets over its entire lifetime.

121
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:03,420
Ejaaz:
So SpaceX, the company that was built to create rockets and effectively become

122
00:08:03,420 --> 00:08:07,370
Ejaaz:
the highway to space, just spent the most amount of money acquiring an AI lab.

123
00:08:07,370 --> 00:08:11,110
Ejaaz:
Now, obviously, this makes sense because they merged with XAI.

124
00:08:11,310 --> 00:08:15,820
Ejaaz:
The whole idea is to put data centers out in space to train Grok,

125
00:08:15,820 --> 00:08:18,080
Ejaaz:
which is contained within XAI.

126
00:08:18,350 --> 00:08:22,710
Ejaaz:
Cursor has an amazing product that basically allows Grok to become a super coding

127
00:08:22,710 --> 00:08:24,830
Ejaaz:
model and allow it to compete with Anthropic.

128
00:08:25,020 --> 00:08:28,850
Ejaaz:
They already proved this with the recent Composer 2.5 model, which Cursor released.

129
00:08:29,140 --> 00:08:33,570
Ejaaz:
And Michael Truel, the founder of Cursor, actually spoke on a panel or on a

130
00:08:33,570 --> 00:08:35,070
Ejaaz:
presentation yesterday where he said

131
00:08:35,510 --> 00:08:39,510
Ejaaz:
they've actually trained a foundational model that is releasing in the next

132
00:08:39,510 --> 00:08:42,970
Ejaaz:
few weeks that's been trained from scratch typically cursors models have been

133
00:08:42,970 --> 00:08:47,530
Ejaaz:
fine-tuned on top of a chinese model but trained from scratch and that's definitely grok itself so

134
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:52,210
Ejaaz:
tldr space is going to come up with a frontier ai model after this acquisition

135
00:08:52,420 --> 00:08:54,290
Ejaaz:
released in a few weeks so it is

136
00:08:54,790 --> 00:08:56,640
Ejaaz:
a huge win to acquire a company

137
00:08:56,890 --> 00:08:59,810
Josh:
Like this yeah and that's not even the most interesting thing about it like

138
00:08:59,950 --> 00:09:03,510
Josh:
it's amazing how many different pillars that exist with this company and i think

139
00:09:03,510 --> 00:09:06,870
Josh:
one of the things you mentioned was how much money they spent and how much money they raise.

140
00:09:07,020 --> 00:09:11,610
Josh:
And I want to highlight a few key numbers with the cumulative spend versus the IPO raise.

141
00:09:11,870 --> 00:09:14,100
Josh:
They raised $85 billion in this IPO.

142
00:09:14,350 --> 00:09:19,210
Josh:
For reference, they spent $15 billion on the entire Starship program.

143
00:09:19,900 --> 00:09:23,270
Josh:
When you think about the Starlink program that is running a global constellation

144
00:09:23,270 --> 00:09:26,220
Josh:
of satellites that is beaming down internet to earth with lasers,

145
00:09:26,530 --> 00:09:28,230
Josh:
they spent $20 billion on that.

146
00:09:28,230 --> 00:09:32,140
Josh:
The total between Starship, which is the Martian rocket that's going to go build

147
00:09:32,140 --> 00:09:36,620
Josh:
this base on moon, and Starlink, the global internet provider, is $35 billion.

148
00:09:36,940 --> 00:09:40,500
Josh:
They raised almost triple that in money.

149
00:09:40,850 --> 00:09:44,050
Josh:
And that means that the scale and the scope of what they're going after is just

150
00:09:44,050 --> 00:09:47,870
Josh:
so huge. But before we get into the grand scheme of things, we have to talk

151
00:09:47,870 --> 00:09:49,990
Josh:
about the price now because that's what everyone wants to know about.

152
00:09:49,990 --> 00:09:51,190
Josh:
That's what all the interest is about.

153
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,510
Josh:
And I think to do that, we should start with the share float,

154
00:09:54,650 --> 00:09:58,380
Josh:
which is an important thing that I'm not sure a lot of people have really kind

155
00:09:58,380 --> 00:10:02,050
Josh:
of focused on or are really aware of. So basically, when a company is traded,

156
00:10:02,050 --> 00:10:05,580
Josh:
there are a certain amount of shares that are available to be traded on a public marketplace.

157
00:10:05,860 --> 00:10:09,320
Josh:
In the case of SpaceX, this number is actually very low. It comes out to about

158
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:13,160
Josh:
4.2 to 4.3% of the total shares being actually tradable.

159
00:10:13,470 --> 00:10:16,090
Josh:
What does this look like? Well, yesterday during the trading session,

160
00:10:16,310 --> 00:10:20,880
Josh:
I think half 50% of all of the shares traded hands in a single trading session.

161
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,280
Josh:
There's not a lot of liquidity, or I shouldn't say that there's,

162
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,240
Josh:
there's a lot of liquidity, but there's not a lot of shares to be pushed around.

163
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,720
Josh:
Meaning if there is more demand, it is able to push the price higher,

164
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,910
Josh:
much quicker because there's less of that float that it needs to churn through.

165
00:10:34,230 --> 00:10:37,170
Josh:
As a result, the stock has done very well and hasn't met much resistance.

166
00:10:37,170 --> 00:10:39,880
Josh:
I mean, every day it's been seemingly up only.

167
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,940
Josh:
When does this change, is the question, because right now there's a very little

168
00:10:43,940 --> 00:10:48,190
Josh:
amount. There's a lot of hype and demand, but there is a very clear and perhaps

169
00:10:48,190 --> 00:10:53,790
Josh:
concerning unlock schedule in which that float is going to grow to be much larger than 4%.

170
00:10:54,130 --> 00:10:58,430
Ejaaz:
Yeah. Listen, like I'm a SpaceX bull. I bought stock at IPO.

171
00:10:58,950 --> 00:11:02,190
Ejaaz:
I will be holding this stock for a long time. I believe in Elon being able to

172
00:11:02,190 --> 00:11:05,790
Ejaaz:
pull this off, but you can't ignore the mechanics.

173
00:11:06,230 --> 00:11:09,740
Ejaaz:
Now, I have a visual on the screen right now. If you're listening to this, I'll explain it to you.

174
00:11:09,740 --> 00:11:15,190
Ejaaz:
Right now, around 4.2% of the stock supply is available to trade.

175
00:11:15,190 --> 00:11:18,550
Ejaaz:
So that's what is available on the market. That's why the price is so volatile

176
00:11:18,550 --> 00:11:21,440
Ejaaz:
and is going either up or down, mainly up over the last few days.

177
00:11:21,860 --> 00:11:29,580
Ejaaz:
Over the next 90 days, 4.4x, the entire current flow, so that's 2.4 billion

178
00:11:29,580 --> 00:11:33,960
Ejaaz:
shares will get released onto the market in a staggered way.

179
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,120
Ejaaz:
And this releases from friends and family that invested earlier,

180
00:11:37,370 --> 00:11:41,590
Ejaaz:
as well as early investors that such as funds or institutional funds that got

181
00:11:41,590 --> 00:11:44,510
Ejaaz:
access to invest in SpaceX's earlier rounds.

182
00:11:44,830 --> 00:11:47,840
Ejaaz:
Now, over 180 days, which is

183
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:52,850
Ejaaz:
basically six months, you'll have a total of 56% of the supply released.

184
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:57,740
Ejaaz:
So that is this year, by the end of this year, you have an additional 56% of

185
00:11:57,740 --> 00:11:59,260
Ejaaz:
the current float that is being traded.

186
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:05,890
Ejaaz:
That is TLDR, a ton of And so the main question on everyone's mind is,

187
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:07,760
Ejaaz:
where's this money going to come from?

188
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:13,180
Ejaaz:
You need money to absorb that supply release in order to maintain the current

189
00:12:13,180 --> 00:12:13,980
Ejaaz:
price that we're looking at.

190
00:12:13,980 --> 00:12:19,020
Ejaaz:
So if we're looking at like, say, a $220 price per share, you're going to need

191
00:12:19,180 --> 00:12:23,740
Ejaaz:
multiples more of the current money that is in the supply right now.

192
00:12:24,750 --> 00:12:28,950
Ejaaz:
Just prop up that price, not even just send it higher. So the concern here is

193
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,730
Ejaaz:
this is a very abnormal unlock schedule.

194
00:12:31,730 --> 00:12:35,990
Ejaaz:
This is not particularly normal. I'll show the step ladder over here.

195
00:12:35,990 --> 00:12:42,500
Ejaaz:
Typically, when a company IPOs, they IPO around 40% to 50% of the available

196
00:12:42,500 --> 00:12:46,750
Ejaaz:
supply, and then the rest unlocks after a one-year cliff. That's typically the

197
00:12:46,750 --> 00:12:47,870
Ejaaz:
standard that everyone's shown.

198
00:12:48,140 --> 00:12:51,850
Ejaaz:
With Elon's IPO, with the SpaceX IPO, everything has pretty much changed.

199
00:12:52,130 --> 00:12:56,140
Ejaaz:
For the unlock schedule, it happens a lot sooner and a lot more frequently.

200
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,950
Ejaaz:
Equally on the buy side of things, and I think this is important to point out,

201
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,130
Ejaaz:
Elon has been able to wrangle a very effective,

202
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,480
Ejaaz:
call it a scheme, where you have a lot of the pension funds,

203
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:12,030
Ejaaz:
the S&P 500 purchases, the people that buy these indexes from pension funds

204
00:13:12,030 --> 00:13:17,830
Ejaaz:
and other sort of instruments that will have this constant buying pressure on SpaceX's IPO.

205
00:13:17,830 --> 00:13:22,940
Ejaaz:
So the balance of these two will effectively determine what that ultimate price is going to be.

206
00:13:23,210 --> 00:13:25,660
Ejaaz:
But right now, it's looking pretty intimidating.

207
00:13:25,900 --> 00:13:29,160
Josh:
Yeah, well, to say that it needs to absorb the sell pressure is implying that

208
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,720
Josh:
there will be sell pressure. And I think it's also important to know who the

209
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,410
Josh:
people are who are currently locked up.

210
00:13:34,850 --> 00:13:38,580
Josh:
If your shares are locked up, you are an insider, you are early in SpaceX, you are in the green.

211
00:13:38,900 --> 00:13:42,220
Josh:
So there's a high probability that there is some sort of incentive and urge

212
00:13:42,220 --> 00:13:44,100
Josh:
to want to sell to take your money off the table.

213
00:13:44,310 --> 00:13:49,960
Josh:
And by December 9th of this year, about 60% of all the shares will become available,

214
00:13:50,290 --> 00:13:55,300
Josh:
with the remaining 50% or 40% being available in June of 2027.

215
00:13:55,600 --> 00:14:00,910
Josh:
So there is a very clear projected path to a lot of potential sell pressure.

216
00:14:01,220 --> 00:14:03,680
Josh:
Now, I think it's important to note the types of people that are invested in

217
00:14:03,680 --> 00:14:09,080
Josh:
SpaceX and the people that share the vision of SpaceX being very bullish and very long term.

218
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,940
Josh:
A lot of these investors invested in Elon, the founder, they invested in SpaceX,

219
00:14:13,190 --> 00:14:17,600
Josh:
the deca trillion dollar company, not the two to three trillion dollar company.

220
00:14:17,810 --> 00:14:20,230
Josh:
So while there is going to be selling pressure, there's certainly a case to

221
00:14:20,230 --> 00:14:23,590
Josh:
be made that a lot of these early supporters still believe that they're early

222
00:14:23,900 --> 00:14:27,710
Josh:
and are using this as an option to just continue to hold to not sell so while

223
00:14:27,710 --> 00:14:31,370
Josh:
there will be sell pressure it is not necessarily going to be

224
00:14:31,710 --> 00:14:36,420
Josh:
a bad thing it is possible not necessarily and elon seems to be fueling this

225
00:14:36,420 --> 00:14:40,900
Josh:
fire he just posted a few days ago that spacex might be able to reach approximately

226
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:42,950
Josh:
one trillion dollars in revenue,

227
00:14:43,470 --> 00:14:48,740
Josh:
by 2030. And he would be surprised if it were not above $1 trillion by 2031.

228
00:14:49,060 --> 00:14:52,630
Josh:
A trillion dollars in revenue is unheard of.

229
00:14:53,150 --> 00:14:56,530
Josh:
No one makes a trillion dollars in revenue. If SpaceX just trades at 10 times

230
00:14:56,530 --> 00:15:01,150
Josh:
their revenue, they're trading at a $10 trillion valuation. That gets you there in four years.

231
00:15:01,580 --> 00:15:05,600
Josh:
So there is this very clear bull case based on these pillars that they have

232
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:10,010
Josh:
between Starlink and Starship and selling their AI compute and just owning their

233
00:15:10,010 --> 00:15:12,670
Josh:
own AI infrastructure through the acquisition of cursor and through

234
00:15:12,940 --> 00:15:16,750
Josh:
their data centers that they have that makes it incredibly compelling for people who

235
00:15:17,100 --> 00:15:20,660
Josh:
maybe if you're investing over the next six months could be rocky but that like

236
00:15:20,660 --> 00:15:24,660
Josh:
multi-year trajectory still seems to be like very optimistic and very bullish.

237
00:15:25,130 --> 00:15:31,020
Ejaaz:
Yeah yes and no like i do want to try and like ground it a little bit which

238
00:15:31,020 --> 00:15:34,950
Ejaaz:
is like okay like let's go back to this chart right effectively on like day

239
00:15:34,950 --> 00:15:39,770
Ejaaz:
one you've got around like 3.7 billion dollars worth of sell pressure.

240
00:15:39,770 --> 00:15:42,670
Ejaaz:
This is like after that initial 90-day period, right?

241
00:15:42,810 --> 00:15:45,970
Ejaaz:
These guys, these early investors that you mentioned, I agree are long-term

242
00:15:45,970 --> 00:15:48,540
Ejaaz:
holders, but they're also up over 100x.

243
00:15:48,780 --> 00:15:51,830
Ejaaz:
If you're up over 100x, you're probably cashing some of this out.

244
00:15:51,830 --> 00:15:55,440
Ejaaz:
Now, there are ways that they would cash this out. Maybe they don't sell the equity itself.

245
00:15:55,690 --> 00:15:59,050
Ejaaz:
Maybe they borrow against it. There's loads of fancy ways to manage your wealth in that way.

246
00:15:59,050 --> 00:16:02,000
Ejaaz:
And these people will probably exercise some version of that.

247
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,100
Ejaaz:
But I do think there will be some form of sell pressure. And then the main question,

248
00:16:06,100 --> 00:16:10,510
Ejaaz:
therefore, on my mind is, is there enough hands to exchange that?

249
00:16:10,710 --> 00:16:12,570
Ejaaz:
Now, initially, I think actually there will be.

250
00:16:13,090 --> 00:16:15,480
Ejaaz:
I think there's a lot of retail demand for this thing. I think there was something

251
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:22,120
Ejaaz:
like $250 billion worth of purchasing power from retail alone,

252
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:27,060
Ejaaz:
just through the likes of Robinhood and all the retail trading accounts from banks on day one.

253
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,270
Ejaaz:
So there's that. And then there's also the constant buying pressure from

254
00:16:30,790 --> 00:16:35,160
Ejaaz:
The institutions that buy S&P 500 indexes and stuff like that.

255
00:16:35,340 --> 00:16:40,320
Ejaaz:
So I think it'll balance out eventually, but there is an abnormal amount of

256
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,450
Ejaaz:
potential selling pressure that will come from some of these early investors.

257
00:16:43,450 --> 00:16:46,140
Ejaaz:
And I don't think it's as easy as saying like all of them are going to hold

258
00:16:46,390 --> 00:16:50,740
Ejaaz:
when they're up like massively. So I just want to kind of like put that out

259
00:16:50,740 --> 00:16:55,140
Ejaaz:
there. I'm not a bear in any way, but there are some contingency plans that

260
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:56,850
Ejaaz:
probably need to be made.

261
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,030
Josh:
Well, okay, that's fair. so in six months from now i guess we could look at

262
00:17:01,030 --> 00:17:04,300
Josh:
this like there's two types of investors maybe we could address here the the

263
00:17:04,300 --> 00:17:07,270
Josh:
shorter term traders that are looking to make money before the end of the year

264
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,380
Josh:
and then there's the longer term traders that are looking on a five to ten year,

265
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:15,120
Josh:
kind of scope so for the six month traders for the people that want to buy a

266
00:17:15,120 --> 00:17:20,400
Josh:
really nice gift for christmas maybe buy a brand new performance tesla tax should they buy yeah yeah,

267
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,690
Josh:
should they buy spacex stock in order to get there do we think it's going to

268
00:17:24,690 --> 00:17:26,820
Josh:
be a bullish a positive six months.

269
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:32,050
Ejaaz:
Yeah honestly i think there's so much demand for this thing that people will

270
00:17:32,050 --> 00:17:36,200
Ejaaz:
just buy it anyway, because the people that are buying it now are probably there

271
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,810
Ejaaz:
for the long term, they know that they weren't able to get involved in like

272
00:17:38,810 --> 00:17:39,660
Ejaaz:
some of the private deals.

273
00:17:40,460 --> 00:17:43,320
Ejaaz:
I also think people are going to be staring at the unlock schedules.

274
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,470
Ejaaz:
And they're going to think, hmm, okay, I've got until this time until this amount

275
00:17:47,470 --> 00:17:49,970
Ejaaz:
unlocks, I'll play the game up until there.

276
00:17:49,970 --> 00:17:52,730
Ejaaz:
So I think more of the short term minded things that maybe want to make a trade

277
00:17:52,730 --> 00:17:57,470
Ejaaz:
and like, be able to afford a Tesla by buying SpaceX stock probably have a good odds of doing that.

278
00:17:57,470 --> 00:18:00,610
Josh:
And then you have to assume that the unlock schedule may get front run.

279
00:18:00,610 --> 00:18:02,780
Josh:
People are all aware of it. Everyone's watching these dates.

280
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,780
Josh:
It's going to be an interesting game theory dynamic applied to that,

281
00:18:06,180 --> 00:18:09,560
Josh:
but it seems like things are pretty stable. I mean, this is very expensive.

282
00:18:09,750 --> 00:18:13,470
Josh:
I could very easily see a world in which it trades somewhat near the IPO price,

283
00:18:13,470 --> 00:18:16,790
Josh:
like sub 200 for, for a while, while it just kind of clears through insurance

284
00:18:16,790 --> 00:18:21,510
Josh:
that, but the longer term, like someone who wants to own this through 2030,

285
00:18:21,770 --> 00:18:24,180
Josh:
say for the next four years, what do you think about that?

286
00:18:24,550 --> 00:18:27,660
Ejaaz:
Oh i mean it's the same thesis that i would have with my investment which is

287
00:18:27,660 --> 00:18:30,420
Ejaaz:
like i think overall spacex will be up but again

288
00:18:30,780 --> 00:18:35,220
Ejaaz:
it it not everyone can hold through volatility right like if you see if you're

289
00:18:35,220 --> 00:18:39,300
Ejaaz:
an amazon holder right let's let's take the company that spacex literally just

290
00:18:39,300 --> 00:18:41,630
Ejaaz:
surpassed on day two right um

291
00:18:42,790 --> 00:18:45,840
Ejaaz:
if you've been holding it for the last three years you've been in utter hell

292
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,650
Ejaaz:
right uh but the idea is if you look at amazon's fundamentals it is absolutely

293
00:18:49,650 --> 00:18:51,480
Ejaaz:
killing it way more than SpaceX, right?

294
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:55,560
Ejaaz:
I mentioned earlier, $700 billion last year in revenue, and they made about

295
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:59,630
Ejaaz:
$80 billion of actual profit off of that. SpaceX comparably made a fraction

296
00:18:59,630 --> 00:19:01,760
Ejaaz:
of that and had a net loss, right?

297
00:19:01,950 --> 00:19:05,860
Ejaaz:
So the fundamentals don't really make sense, but the people who held Amazon

298
00:19:06,100 --> 00:19:08,860
Ejaaz:
is currently down more than the people who bought SpaceX on day one.

299
00:19:08,860 --> 00:19:14,080
Ejaaz:
So that kind of dichotomy is kind of crazy to understand. And maybe it's just

300
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,910
Ejaaz:
up to market dynamics and public interpretation.

301
00:19:18,220 --> 00:19:20,590
Ejaaz:
But that being said, if you're on a long term, if you're looking at fundamentals,

302
00:19:20,590 --> 00:19:24,720
Ejaaz:
if you believe that SpaceX will bring the cost of traveling out to space to

303
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,910
Ejaaz:
200K per launch, then it's an easy bet. It's a long-term hold.

304
00:19:28,250 --> 00:19:30,030
Ejaaz:
But it's whether you can handle the volatility.

305
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,330
Josh:
That's the main thing. That's kind of the advice that I've been giving to friends.

306
00:19:32,330 --> 00:19:33,940
Josh:
A lot of people have been reaching out and asking like, hey,

307
00:19:33,940 --> 00:19:37,170
Josh:
what do you think about SpaceX stock? And I tell them, if you are comfortable...

308
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:41,220
Josh:
Investing long-term and just putting your money away and slowly building a position

309
00:19:41,220 --> 00:19:43,440
Josh:
or quickly building a position in a company that you believe in,

310
00:19:43,740 --> 00:19:46,600
Josh:
then it's a great investment, a remarkable investment even.

311
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,690
Josh:
Because I mean, companies at the scale continue to do pretty well.

312
00:19:50,690 --> 00:19:53,540
Josh:
And when you think about the companies at the scale and who they're run by,

313
00:19:53,540 --> 00:19:56,450
Josh:
there's, there's none with the more cracked engineering team,

314
00:19:56,450 --> 00:19:59,940
Josh:
leadership team, entrepreneurship team, then SpaceX. When you look at these

315
00:19:59,940 --> 00:20:01,710
Josh:
top five, it's like Microsoft.

316
00:20:02,410 --> 00:20:05,350
Josh:
Are you really more bullish on Microsoft than SpaceX, even though they're priced

317
00:20:05,350 --> 00:20:07,410
Josh:
the same? Like when you look at Microsoft, what they're working on.

318
00:20:07,690 --> 00:20:09,350
Ejaaz:
Like Boomer Tech, Josh, you know this now.

319
00:20:09,350 --> 00:20:13,670
Josh:
Yeah, it's like, really when you look at these companies, which companies are

320
00:20:13,670 --> 00:20:16,170
Josh:
going to change the world five years from now and which companies are not?

321
00:20:16,490 --> 00:20:20,710
Josh:
And if I'm just comparing based on market caps, the answer is certainly not

322
00:20:20,710 --> 00:20:24,030
Josh:
Microsoft. It looks a lot more like SpaceX. And there's a chart that I wanted to show.

323
00:20:24,270 --> 00:20:26,710
Josh:
It looks a little funky on the screen share. You're gonna have to work with me here.

324
00:20:26,980 --> 00:20:30,260
Josh:
But basically there is this presentation by this guy named Thomas LaFont. He's an investor.

325
00:20:30,500 --> 00:20:34,230
Josh:
I saw this on the All In podcast where he was talking about the probability

326
00:20:34,230 --> 00:20:38,290
Josh:
of a company continuing to do well once they reach a certain valuation.

327
00:20:38,290 --> 00:20:43,340
Josh:
So in the case of a unicorn, the odds of a unicorn going from a $1 billion company

328
00:20:43,340 --> 00:20:46,300
Josh:
to a decacorn, a $10 billion company is 8%.

329
00:20:46,530 --> 00:20:48,670
Josh:
It's possible, but not probable.

330
00:20:49,260 --> 00:20:53,310
Josh:
The same doubles in the case that a decacorn goes to a centacorn.

331
00:20:53,310 --> 00:20:58,600
Josh:
So if a company is worth $10 billion, the odds of it going to $100 billion, a 10x multiple.

332
00:20:59,220 --> 00:21:04,870
Josh:
Go from 8% to 13%. And then from Decacorn, which is 10 billion to a hundred

333
00:21:04,870 --> 00:21:08,980
Josh:
billion, Ascenticorn, they almost triple and 30%.

334
00:21:08,980 --> 00:21:14,130
Josh:
So one in three companies who reach $10 billion will make it to a hundred billion

335
00:21:14,130 --> 00:21:17,740
Josh:
dollars. And you could see how this chart kind of trends in a very clear trajectory

336
00:21:17,740 --> 00:21:18,790
Josh:
where it's nearly exponential.

337
00:21:19,010 --> 00:21:22,790
Josh:
And you have to assume if a company can reach a trillion dollars in market cap,

338
00:21:23,120 --> 00:21:28,060
Josh:
the probability of it hitting a decatrillion dollars is probably double it's

339
00:21:28,060 --> 00:21:31,820
Josh:
at least 60 so that means over one in every two companies that have hit

340
00:21:32,100 --> 00:21:36,100
Josh:
one trillion dollars in value are likely to hit 10 trillion dollars in value

341
00:21:36,340 --> 00:21:39,850
Josh:
and when you look at the companies that are centicorns today is that what they're called like

342
00:21:40,250 --> 00:21:43,670
Josh:
trillion dollar companies there's not a ton of them and when you look at the

343
00:21:43,670 --> 00:21:46,940
Josh:
ones that do exist the ones that are most interesting that are most compelling

344
00:21:46,940 --> 00:21:48,200
Josh:
to look forward to in terms of

345
00:21:48,540 --> 00:21:51,450
Josh:
products that they're going to make are companies like spacex are companies

346
00:21:51,450 --> 00:21:55,100
Josh:
like tesla who are going to revolutionize what the physical world looks like

347
00:21:55,100 --> 00:21:56,220
Josh:
in a way that we've never seen before.

348
00:21:56,380 --> 00:21:59,120
Josh:
And that's why I'm particularly excited. That's why I am recommending to my

349
00:21:59,120 --> 00:22:02,080
Josh:
friends like, hey, not financial advice, but I'm very bullish.

350
00:22:02,210 --> 00:22:05,870
Josh:
I'm all in on this company for the next, however, pretty much an infinite amount

351
00:22:05,870 --> 00:22:07,020
Josh:
of time until things change.

352
00:22:07,290 --> 00:22:10,420
Josh:
And that's kind of the reasoning is there's just a high probability that the

353
00:22:10,420 --> 00:22:11,780
Josh:
success they've had will continue.

354
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,290
Ejaaz:
I think with a lot of these companies, it's also

355
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:20,440
Ejaaz:
So it's just time-based, and it's based on whether they're going to execute on the entire vision.

356
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:24,930
Ejaaz:
Like, a lot of us don't actually accurately predict what the world's going to

357
00:22:24,930 --> 00:22:26,070
Ejaaz:
look like six months from now.

358
00:22:26,070 --> 00:22:29,450
Ejaaz:
Like, who knows? Like, we could have AI models that cost a fraction of what

359
00:22:29,450 --> 00:22:33,480
Ejaaz:
they do today that are frontier that would undercut Anthropic and OpenAI and

360
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,850
Ejaaz:
would kind of blow this entire AI bubble up. There's so many different moving factors.

361
00:22:37,220 --> 00:22:41,620
Ejaaz:
Now, with Elon specifically, and I'm talking about Elon and his company,

362
00:22:41,620 --> 00:22:43,710
Ejaaz:
so not just SpaceX, but we're talking about Tesla,

363
00:22:44,050 --> 00:22:49,510
Ejaaz:
they have a huge collective vision to not only build out the number one AI company

364
00:22:49,510 --> 00:22:54,360
Ejaaz:
and AI model, but to also own the infrastructure and highway to space, as well as the

365
00:22:54,860 --> 00:22:58,260
Ejaaz:
world's largest gigafab chip fab on earth,

366
00:22:58,970 --> 00:23:02,750
Ejaaz:
as well as manage all the humanoid robotic side of things as well,

367
00:23:02,750 --> 00:23:04,530
Ejaaz:
the physical manifestation of AI.

368
00:23:04,780 --> 00:23:09,850
Ejaaz:
Now, those are kind of vaguely the correct ambitions to kind of carve out what

369
00:23:09,850 --> 00:23:11,420
Ejaaz:
the world's going to look like in the future.

370
00:23:11,710 --> 00:23:15,380
Ejaaz:
Now, can one man pull it off between two or three companies?

371
00:23:15,740 --> 00:23:19,510
Ejaaz:
That remains to be seen. His track record so far has proven that he is able

372
00:23:19,510 --> 00:23:21,090
Ejaaz:
to scale hardware from zero to one.

373
00:23:21,360 --> 00:23:25,410
Ejaaz:
He has yet to prove it with software specifically. And this cursor acquisition,

374
00:23:25,410 --> 00:23:27,140
Ejaaz:
I believe, is going to be a good test of that.

375
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,040
Ejaaz:
And then following that, it's whether he is able to merge all of these together.

376
00:23:31,290 --> 00:23:35,060
Ejaaz:
A lot of that is going to be based on time. And so unfortunately or fortunately,

377
00:23:35,060 --> 00:23:39,010
Ejaaz:
a lot of this is going to be speculation. It's going to be hearsay until we actually see the goods.

378
00:23:39,170 --> 00:23:43,030
Ejaaz:
And we're not going to see some of the goods until as early as maybe a few weeks

379
00:23:43,030 --> 00:23:47,290
Ejaaz:
for the new crop model, but a few years in terms of space travel,

380
00:23:47,290 --> 00:23:51,260
Ejaaz:
putting AI data centers in space, and training frontier models for a fraction of the cost.

381
00:23:51,260 --> 00:23:55,030
Ejaaz:
So it's going to be a time thing. If you're patient, if you're a long-term investor,

382
00:23:55,030 --> 00:23:59,040
Ejaaz:
then buying SpaceX stock at any price right now kind of makes sense.

383
00:23:59,380 --> 00:24:01,240
Ejaaz:
But if you want to

384
00:24:01,860 --> 00:24:04,640
Ejaaz:
I'm not again, not investment advice, but the way that I would kind of like

385
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,690
Ejaaz:
approach this is just kind of like purchasing chunks over time over the next

386
00:24:08,690 --> 00:24:13,760
Ejaaz:
six months, there will be again, 54% of the supply to 54 to 60% of the supply

387
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,410
Ejaaz:
unlocked by the end of the year.

388
00:24:15,410 --> 00:24:17,740
Ejaaz:
That's a lot of supply, there'll be a lot of volatility.

389
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:22,240
Ejaaz:
Right now we've seen the volatility go up for the price, but it'll equally go

390
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:26,130
Ejaaz:
down as well is my expectation. So just be careful out there and you know,

391
00:24:26,130 --> 00:24:27,620
Ejaaz:
make sound decisions. That's it.

392
00:24:27,620 --> 00:24:32,140
Josh:
Yeah, I'm gonna be hyperbolic again, like I have been and just continue to say

393
00:24:32,140 --> 00:24:35,190
Josh:
that Tesla and SpaceX will be the most valuable company in the world.

394
00:24:35,290 --> 00:24:37,780
Josh:
It's like, I'm looking at this list right now and there's NVIDIA,

395
00:24:37,780 --> 00:24:43,200
Josh:
Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, SpaceX, TSMC, Broadcom, Saudi Aramco, Samsung, and Tesla.

396
00:24:43,460 --> 00:24:45,720
Josh:
And when you think about those companies and the products they're going to make

397
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:49,080
Josh:
and the future trajectory of them, none of them are even close to one,

398
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,190
Josh:
the operational capability in the terms of like physical hardware.

399
00:24:52,380 --> 00:24:54,700
Josh:
And then two, just in terms of leadership and what the people have actually

400
00:24:54,700 --> 00:24:55,600
Josh:
been able to accomplish.

401
00:24:55,910 --> 00:24:59,330
Josh:
And when you consider a world in which SpaceX and Tesla get rolled into a single

402
00:24:59,330 --> 00:25:02,980
Josh:
entity, and those are competing against NVIDIA, who's currently the most valuable

403
00:25:02,980 --> 00:25:06,200
Josh:
company in the world, it's like, come on, there's, it's like not even close.

404
00:25:06,460 --> 00:25:10,020
Josh:
And a $10 trillion valuation in that world seems bearish.

405
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,270
Josh:
I'm like, 10 trillion? Dude, they're going to hit a trillion dollars in revenue

406
00:25:13,270 --> 00:25:16,120
Josh:
just with one of those two companies four years from now.

407
00:25:16,380 --> 00:25:19,160
Josh:
If it's trading at 100 times the revenue, that's like, I mean,

408
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:20,510
Josh:
the numbers get pretty large really quick.

409
00:25:20,700 --> 00:25:24,370
Josh:
And I think this is an important thing to note that this has happened many times

410
00:25:24,370 --> 00:25:26,890
Josh:
in the past. I mentioned Saudi Aramco currently sitting at number nine.

411
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,070
Josh:
At one point in time, it was the most valuable company in the world by far.

412
00:25:30,380 --> 00:25:33,270
Josh:
And that was the ceiling of the perceived market caps that a company could reach.

413
00:25:33,910 --> 00:25:36,810
Josh:
It's like, okay, Saudi Aramco is number one. Let's say Apple,

414
00:25:36,810 --> 00:25:40,160
Josh:
for example, surely Apple can't be worth more than Saudi Aramco.

415
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,350
Josh:
They make oil, they power all the energy of the world.

416
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,090
Josh:
The reality is that Apple released the iPhone, Apple became the new most valuable

417
00:25:46,090 --> 00:25:48,900
Josh:
company in the world, and they quadrupled Saudi Aramco.

418
00:25:49,120 --> 00:25:52,610
Josh:
And the perceived ceiling of what these companies are able to reach in terms

419
00:25:52,610 --> 00:25:57,060
Josh:
of market cap continues to go up as they continue to unlock new value in the world.

420
00:25:57,710 --> 00:26:01,490
Josh:
And what company is more likely to unlock more value than one that is exploring

421
00:26:01,490 --> 00:26:04,630
Josh:
both domestically, but also interstellarly?

422
00:26:04,630 --> 00:26:07,250
Josh:
And I know it's just it's an exciting company to bet around.

423
00:26:07,570 --> 00:26:12,110
Josh:
There is an incredibly compelling case for a really fun and very valuable future

424
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:13,370
Josh:
when these plans work out.

425
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,750
Josh:
And there's no team better equipped to actually execute on that vision.

426
00:26:16,750 --> 00:26:20,660
Josh:
And that's why I cannot recommend SpaceX enough to all of my friends.

427
00:26:20,660 --> 00:26:23,170
Josh:
Again, not financial advice, but like, holy shit, this is the best chance you

428
00:26:23,170 --> 00:26:29,110
Josh:
have as we go into this like next generation of just like humanity in general

429
00:26:29,110 --> 00:26:31,750
Josh:
reality. It's very exciting. Clearly, I'm excited. Clearly, I'm a big fan.

430
00:26:31,890 --> 00:26:34,100
Josh:
I'm sure people disagree with a lot of these takes, but hey,

431
00:26:34,330 --> 00:26:35,550
Josh:
come catch me in five years, buddy.

432
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:40,270
Ejaaz:
Yeah, I mean, I'm going to take not the other side of that, but I'm just going

433
00:26:40,270 --> 00:26:44,950
Ejaaz:
to point out that there are names on this chart that haven't IPO'd yet.

434
00:26:44,950 --> 00:26:47,770
Ejaaz:
You're going to have Anthropic. I see OpenAI is on here, but you're going to

435
00:26:47,770 --> 00:26:50,680
Ejaaz:
have a ton of other Frontier AI labs that IPO soon.

436
00:26:50,980 --> 00:26:54,480
Ejaaz:
Google is nowhere to be seen here, and they are currently the only vertically

437
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:58,430
Ejaaz:
integrated company that absolutely nailed distribution and the infrastructure

438
00:26:58,430 --> 00:27:00,390
Ejaaz:
play itself. I think that is very slept on.

439
00:27:00,700 --> 00:27:03,840
Ejaaz:
And then NVIDIA itself, I think a lot of people are counting NVIDIA as just

440
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,770
Ejaaz:
the GPU company, but hey, Jensen's already released his CPU line,

441
00:27:07,770 --> 00:27:10,340
Ejaaz:
which he said he was never going to enter, and now he has, and now it's earning

442
00:27:10,340 --> 00:27:12,250
Ejaaz:
$20 billion of revenue a year.

443
00:27:12,530 --> 00:27:18,370
Ejaaz:
He's already working on the battle-tested, space-proof GPUs that he's going

444
00:27:18,370 --> 00:27:21,610
Ejaaz:
to be putting in Elon's rockets to get out there. So I think there's going to

445
00:27:21,610 --> 00:27:22,980
Ejaaz:
be some competitors in the future.

446
00:27:23,450 --> 00:27:28,900
Ejaaz:
And it's just a matter of keeping an eye of what is going on and how it's all being executed.

447
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,390
Ejaaz:
Again, I think Elon is one of the best executors in the world right now.

448
00:27:32,390 --> 00:27:34,190
Ejaaz:
So very bullish for all his companies.

449
00:27:34,490 --> 00:27:37,550
Ejaaz:
But there'll be some competition. I don't think it'll be a clear road.

450
00:27:37,550 --> 00:27:39,350
Ejaaz:
But ultimately, up only, I think.

451
00:27:39,350 --> 00:27:42,520
Josh:
Yeah, well, I mean, definitely no competition in space. Blue Origin is the next

452
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:46,410
Josh:
closest. And they got a decade of cash enough to do, especially after that most recent rocket blew up.

453
00:27:46,770 --> 00:27:49,510
Josh:
So in that world, at least they got their monopoly for a good bit of time.

454
00:27:49,510 --> 00:27:53,100
Josh:
But I think that the consensus is generally like all of these companies are pretty remarkable.

455
00:27:53,270 --> 00:27:56,350
Josh:
Like when you look at NVIDIA, Google, Apple, like there's a very clear case

456
00:27:56,350 --> 00:28:01,100
Josh:
that they're going to continue to make more money as this world of abundance gets unlocked with AI.

457
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,520
Josh:
And there's a good chance that everything just continues to go up.

458
00:28:04,670 --> 00:28:08,930
Josh:
And maybe there's certainly going to be some bumps along the way.

459
00:28:09,230 --> 00:28:12,320
Josh:
But the value generation created by these companies is really staggering.

460
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:13,120
Josh:
So I think that's the update.

461
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:17,880
Josh:
That is the post SpaceX IPO clarity, perhaps. I'm serious.

462
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,930
Josh:
That's everything that's worth knowing. That's everything...

463
00:28:21,470 --> 00:28:22,580
Josh:
I think that's been going on in

464
00:28:22,580 --> 00:28:25,690
Josh:
the last week. Is there any final updates before we let everyone go here?

465
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,770
Ejaaz:
No, I'm excited about the new Grok model.

466
00:28:29,530 --> 00:28:33,820
Ejaaz:
You know, speaking transparently, Grok has kind of fallen behind pretty massively.

467
00:28:34,130 --> 00:28:38,540
Ejaaz:
And I believe like Anthropoc and OpenAI have pretty much reached escape velocity

468
00:28:38,540 --> 00:28:42,250
Ejaaz:
with Fable 5 and the upcoming GPT 5.6 model.

469
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,850
Ejaaz:
Oh, I hope that comes soon. I know. And these models are effectively building

470
00:28:45,850 --> 00:28:49,110
Ejaaz:
themselves. So once you have a model that builds itself, you know,

471
00:28:49,730 --> 00:28:52,060
Ejaaz:
you kind of like run away with it. you run away with the trophy.

472
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:57,280
Ejaaz:
Grok is probably, or SpaceX AI, is probably the only company left that could

473
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:58,720
Ejaaz:
potentially join the ranks.

474
00:28:59,020 --> 00:29:01,950
Ejaaz:
And they're going to do it via the curse acquisition. So I'm excited to try that model out.

475
00:29:02,260 --> 00:29:07,150
Ejaaz:
For those of you who are listening to this, to Josh's relentless bullishness,

476
00:29:07,460 --> 00:29:10,510
Ejaaz:
to my sobriety test, are we wrong?

477
00:29:10,660 --> 00:29:11,240
Josh:
Who's wrong?

478
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,770
Ejaaz:
Who's right here? Come at us. Let's hear you in the comments.

479
00:29:15,090 --> 00:29:18,470
Ejaaz:

480
00:29:18,470 --> 00:29:22,840
Ejaaz:
we also love and want to hear your feedback right um if you've listened to this

487
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:44,090
Ejaaz:
thousand of you we post a long form essay which is like a thesis it's going out

488
00:29:44,470 --> 00:29:49,960
Ejaaz:
uh today as you're listening to this episode, as well as weekly highlights at the end of the week.

489
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:53,700
Ejaaz:
But aside from that, that is all. And we will see you for our roundup.
