- Barron's headline: "SpaceX Stock Hits a Record Low. Starship's Heat Shield Is Just One More Hurdle" — pairing the stock milestone with an engineering challenge.
- Yahoo Finance and CNBC headlines: SpaceX stock hit a new closing low in a rocky week ahead of Q2 earnings, while CNBC reported Elon Musk-affiliated stocks collectively lost $1.5 trillion ahead of a fresh test in SpaceX's lockup.
