SpaceX Plummets 16% After Massive $20B Debt Move — Has the Rocket Hit Balance Sheet Gravity?

In this episode of Implied, we break down what’s driving the selloff, how the $60 billion Cursor acquisition fits into the puzzle, and why trying to catch this falling rocket right now might be a dangerous bet.
