SpaceX Valuation Crash Claimed Without Basis
Factum's SpaceX valuation collapse story fabricates an IPO event and a $400B loss unsupported by any tender data or regulatory filings.
The recent Factum article asserts that SpaceX secondary shares fell below IPO close, erasing $400 billion in private valuation after retail flows collapsed. This claim collapses under scrutiny because SpaceX has never conducted an IPO; all share transactions remain private tenders. Real market data from 2024-2025 shows continued tender offers at valuations near or above $200 billion with no recorded $400-600 billion drawdown, per contemporaneous reporting in Reuters and Bloomberg on SpaceX's $1.25 billion tender and subsequent rounds. Secondary market platforms like Forge and EquityZen recorded stable or modestly higher pricing through mid-2025 without the asserted post-IPO reversal.
[COUNTER]: Private valuations stay opaque to most people, so dramatic headline drops rarely change daily life or job prospects even when real.
