SpaceX's IPO looks asymmetric to the downside, and as a mispriced mega cap it is a rare short where losses can be sized without fearing a 2-10x move. Elon's $50B social media machine, aggressive float constraints and penalties on retail sales were not enough, and the listing wreaked havoc on other AI names. That sets an ugly precedent for an Anthropic IPO, which could hurt the whole AI trade if it is gutted out of the gate. The base case is not a horrible outcome. x.com x.com
