Elon basically gaslighted retail investors, and managers for your retirement funds, into transferring wealth directly to Elon Musk.
Other index funds were forced to buy SpaceX at the IPO price. They literally had no choice, even if they knew they’d lose money. And this includes any overseas ones with exposure to US indices.
This is not something to celebrate. We all just got conned, even if you didn’t buy SpaceX directly.
I pulled my retirement funds from the market over a year ago when the market was clearly detatching from reality. They are in a cash account earning modest interest for now.
Jokes on you, I nor any of the people I know, have a retirement fund lmao. This will overwhelmingly hit boomers and upper middle class yuppies in corporate jobs, and tbh fuck em both. If you work for a corporation and chose to be a stooge, you’re also part of the problem.
no. it’d not normal. there is an entire cohort of non-working class without retirement, and working class folks with one half a paycheck from disaster.
I dunno why yall are celebrating this.

because anger at this may, in some hopeful universe, inspire some change. luigi style change or otherwise.
We requested not to include any of his stock, I hope that’s enough :(
It’s still going to be reflected in certain indexes, and market shifts in general, unfortunately.

I don’t let fools in a stupor play with my money.
I did the same but paid off debt and bought a house. Still ain’t sure whether I chose wisely.
Yeah, I mean you’re preaching to the choir here.
I’m in individual stocks (that I think are sane) or assets everywhere I can be.

This whole comment screams projection to me. Having a retirement fund is fairly normal, even if you aren’t making the most money in the world.
