IPO's are always rigged to benefit the insiders of the companies and wall street.

It happens every time.

There was even warnings this time that SpaceX was over valued by as much as 60%.

Right now it's down... 2.51% since the offering. $-4.

It's also a cash game where you're you, and the other players are Vanguard, Geode, TRP, State Street.

They can put you all in, and if you somehow manage to call them off with a winning hand, their tiny losses won't even be a blip on the quarterly business report.

Yup.

If you are wondering who the patsy in that game of poker is then it's you.

Elmo is just trying to get to mars so he doesn't have to pay any taxes in America.

Musk's companies are all priced based on wishy-hopey promises of what's to come, not on any realistic measures.
