SpaceX IPO: What Your Peers Are Doing

SpaceX is going public on the Nasdaq exchange next Friday, June 12th, and the financial media is buzzing. The combined entity of SpaceX, xAI, and X is reportedly targeting a $1.75T valuation.

We polled 290 HNW investors to see how they plan to handle what could be the biggest IPO in history.

The results reveal caution: most are planning to do nothing. Just over 40% are passing altogether, while a quarter are taking a "wait and see" approach rather than buying on day one.

For existing shareholders, the decision to hold or sell post-lockup is split. So is sentiment in the discussion thread.

Right away, Long Angle members noted that index fund exposure is inevitable anyway (including “Fast Entry” into the Nasdaq 100). Beyond that, views are polarized.

Bulls cite SpaceX's decade-long head start in lift capacity and hyper-scale AI resource planning. Skeptics counter that AI infrastructure plays aren't unique compared to quiet incumbents like Google, warning against the media hype.

High performers unknowingly pay a "sleep tax”: the cumulative cognitive drain of misaligned sleep. Dr. Natun Verma, a Stanford-trained physician who built sleep programs for Meta and Apple, recently hosted a private webinar for Long Angle members on how executives can reclaim their edge.

His core thesis is that generic sleep advice fails founders and executives. Schedules that demand high-stakes inputs spike cortisol, leaving the brain firing long after the laptop closes. Sleep, therefore, is a biological byproduct of choices made hours earlier.

Here is a framework to combat the sleep tax based on Dr. Verma’s research:

In a nutshell, compounding stress unchecked all day makes the physiological transition to sleep difficult. Managing stress, dedicating a space to relax, and timing your stimuli can unlock better rest.

Litigation finance is the funding of a lawsuit in exchange for a percentage of the final settlement or court judgment. If the case wins, investors pocket a predetermined slice of the financial payout. 

The primary appeal is that litigation finance is largely uncorrelated to public markets (judges don’t look at the S&P when deciding a verdict).
