About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of SpaceX and other AI companies going public and their potential impact on investment strategies.
SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI are all going public. Why now? And what will their weight be in index funds? What other U.S. ETF options are there if you don't want to have such a high concentration in stocks tied to AI. And finally, if you do buy SpaceX, what would need to happen to earn a reasonable return on your investment? Show Notes Space Exploration Technologies Corp.
