Just 10 days after the SpaceX IPO, the stock has plunged and the average investor has seen most of their initial gains disappear.
And don't forget: rules protecting investors from volatile new stocks were gutted — at SpaceX's behest.
The universe's largest Ponzi scheme?

Analysis Summary
SpaceX stock rose about 19-20% on its first trading day and reached around $192.50 on the first full day of trading, contradicting claims that it plunged and investors gave back most early gains after three consecutive down days. The post links this volatility to investor protections it claims were removed at SpaceX's behest, but provides no evidence of which rules were changed or SpaceX's role in lobbying for their removal. Reporting does show that SpaceX's IPO prospectus used a tiered, rolling release schedule instead of the typical 180-day lockup, with some shares sellable after short intervals. The comparison to a 'Ponzi scheme' is rhetorical commentary expressing skepticism about the company's valuation, not a factual claim.
