SpaceX after the IPO: exit liquidity, or the next ten-bagger?
6 investors who disagree about SpaceX Is Funding an AI Bet Before the Proof. Each voice is attributed and paraphrased, dated where the date is known, with a link where one exists.
The DeepStack callSkeptical
SpaceX’s AI build is credible. The stock has already paid for 10 gigawatts it has not built.

Exit liquidity
The Google SpaceX GPU rental is bullish for Nvidia because there are still not enough GPUs to quench demand; Nvidia ramps production continuously but cannot follow demand.
Retail buyers of the SpaceX IPO are the exit liquidity: the fancy name for paying insiders, VCs and early investors at peak hype valuations.
SpaceX deployed 0.4 gigawatts of nameplate compute in the last quarter while Musk promises more than 10 gigawatts by end-2027 and describes close to 15 gigawatts at the PowerPoint level.
SpaceX's AI segment reveals the industry's bad accounting habits: how AI revenue is counted, what is hidden in construction-in-progress, and where the Nvidia GPUs everyone calls short-supplied actually are.

The number is real
SpaceX is on track to build about 10 gigawatts of datacenter capacity by year-end 2027; independent site-by-site evaluation supports the guided 6 to 8 incremental gigawatts, implying a path to 300 billion dollars of ARR with only half the…
Selling frontier-model inference is extraordinarily profitable: on a GB300 cluster, OpenAI and Anthropic can generate over 100 billion dollars per gigawatt-year of revenue against roughly 12 billion of rental cost.

Voices that cross sides
SpaceX at roughly 100 times trailing revenue would never qualify as a value investment, yet it is feasibly a ten-bagger: an extreme bull scenario could carry the company toward an 18 trillion dollar valuation or beyond over ten to twenty-five years.
Lenders back Starlink's cash and bet the AI spend never drains the company.
Long AI in the long run, doubtful the market absorbs three $1T cash-burning IPOs at once.
Notes
Not a disagreement.
Where two voices only seem to differ, or where the thread runs back to an earlier Part.
Bridge to Part 1
Burry versus SemiAnalysis: circular financing, or eight times cost at market rates. One premise is wrong, and $300B of projected revenue sits on the difference.
