Eric Berger: author and senior space writer on the SpaceX IPO making Elon the world's first trillionaire
Published 1 day, 3 hours ago
Description
Questions over whether SpaceX will live up to its colossal share price.
Shares soared above $160 US dollars as the rocket, satellite and data centre company hit the market yesterday.
It's sent Elon Musk skyrocketing to trillionaire status - a world first.
Eric Berger, who's authored two books about Musk, says it's still a risky investment for those buying in - partly due to Musk's erratic personality.
"You're betting on the company being able to get Starship, the rocket, flying rapidly and safely - and then build an enormous consolidation of data centres in space."
