I appreciate you reaching out, and for your opinion. I could very well be inadvertently falling into a preconceptual misjudgment. My source for this post was a financial video which delineated the details of the IPO in terms of the basis of its evaluation, the subsidiaries within the SpaceX umbrella, and which of those is making money now, losing money now and has an unrealistic forecast of making money anytime in the near future. Secondarily is my very hard learned lesson about buying an IPO stock that is highly publicized on day one of the release. I have done this twice and both times I have ended up selling the stock for a loss. Silly me. Lastly, I come to the conclusion that it will be the middle class who suffers because people who are getting pre-IPO share prices are the ones who are invited to invest based upon a certain financial amount. They are able to contribute before public release. I looked into this very recently when it came to a couple of metals mining companies. The minimum bid for pre-IPO was $10,000 and I don’t really have that to contribute. So now I’m in the class of people who gets to buy the stock after the IPO release.

There is bias on my part because I am making an assumption that there will be many middle-class people who are too busy to look at the SpaceX ipo prospectus, and put faith on a very public figure. They will also, like me, not have enough money to be able to get “in” on the pre-IPO price release. So for this reason, I will check myself because this is based on pure bias from my past experience in buying IPO stock

I have no comparable experience. My understanding of the point of owning stock is to receive dividends as a company owner, and that persons who expect to "buy low, sell high" generally don't do very well.
