Potential short squeeze risk vs. fundamental valuation correction.
Extended read
SpaceX is currently experiencing significant post-IPO volatility, with shares trading roughly 10% below their debut price. The massive $25 billion short position suggests a deep divide between retail enthusiasm and institutional skepticism regarding the company's valuation. While Elon Musk has warned of a potential squeeze, the lack of financial transparency and the high capital intensity of the Starship program continue to provide ammunition for short sellers.
