Kara runs through the numbers — SpaceX shares up around 50% from the IPO price, the company briefly hitting $2.5 trillion, surpassing Amazon to become the 5th largest company, and trading options volumes of 1.8 million contracts on day one. Bill Cohen, founding partner of Puck, joins via audio and frames SpaceX as a bundle: one great business (Starlink), one glamorous business (rockets), one lousy business (X and XAI), all wrapped in an astounding Wall Street-hyped valuation.
