Your Pension Fund Is Now Trapped in the SpaceX Collapse

Summary: SpaceX is doing exactly what we expected.In this episode, Dr. Jim argues that the company went public with weak financials, an inflated valuation, and a hype cycle built around Elon Musk’s mythology. Now, within two weeks on the market, Dr. Jim says SpaceX has lost $900 billion in valuation while insiders and early institutional investors cash out and retail investors get left holding the bag.The bigger warning: this is only the beginning. Dr. Jim frames SpaceX as a public-market off-ramp for tech billionaires overexposed to AI, with index funds, pensions, 401(k)s, and everyday retirement accounts positioned to absorb the real damage once the stock gets embedded deeper into the financial system.
