About this episode
The episode discusses SpaceX's potential IPO and its implications for the economy and Social Security.
The Capitalist Pig Jonathan Hoenig joins The Ray Stevens Show to break down one of the biggest market events of the decade: SpaceX is officially coming public. With rumors of a valuation soaring over $2 trillion, we discuss how this massive move could officially launch Elon Musk into trillionaire status—even though the company posted a $5 billion loss last year. Is it a speculative gamble, or the ultimate investment in the future? But it’s not all skyrocketing stocks. We ground things with a harsh look at everyday American struggles, analyzing a scary 4.2% CPI print that's outlacing wage growth. Plus, we dive into a recent Yahoo Finance report warning that Social Security reserves could completely run out by 2032 if major changes aren't made. From gold tumbling 25% to the structural flaws of government programs, we cover what you need to know to invest for yourself.
