- Elon Musk lost his trillionaire status as SpaceX shares dropped in post-IPO trading, with The Guardian describing the stock as 'coming down to earth with a bump'
- SpaceX stock briefly dipped below its $150 debut price before rebounding, per Yahoo Finance, while The New York Times characterized the broader move as a slump following the company's blockbuster IPO
Why it matters: Musk's personal net worth is now tethered to public-market sentiment in a way it wasn't when SpaceX was private. The post-IPO price action — a dip below the $150 debut before a partial rebound — shows early trading is volatile, and the symbolic threshold is already gone: Musk fell off the trillionaire list almost immediately after SpaceX went public.
