- SpaceX options debuted on the market, pulling record demand as investors chased the rocket stock, per Reuters' headline
- A CNBC strategist characterized the SpaceX options bets as "expensive" and "dangerous," while Sky News separately reported that shares of Elon Musk's SpaceX soared past Amazon's valuation
