Buy, Borrow, Die | Space X | And the Death of Your Retirement Nest Egg

Summary: Dr. Jim argues that the SpaceX IPO is a setup.In this episode, he breaks down how inflated valuations, restricted public supply, index-fund demand, hype cycles, and billionaire tax strategies could turn private paper wealth into public-market risk. His core warning is that insiders get liquidity, billionaires get collateral, and everyday Americans with pensions and 401(k)s get pulled into the blast zone when the hype collapses.The bigger point: the billionaire class gets to make reckless bets, socialize the losses, and leave regular people holding the bag.
