Can SpaceX really be worth $10 trillion? Why the stock price alone won't tell you
A $10 trillion valuation sounds crazy with SPCX near $100. Flow's point: the stock price alone doesn't tell you if a company is cheap — the real question is whether the business can grow into the number.
A low or high share price tells you nothing about whether a company is cheap. With SPCX around $100, a $10 trillion valuation sounds absurd — but the real question, Flow says, is whether SpaceX can build a business big enough to justify it. Revenue is what a company earns; valuation is what investors think it's worth. And "a great company can still be a bad investment at the wrong price."
Price alone won't tell you if it's cheap
Flow's setup: "$10 trillion sounds crazy, especially with SpaceX's stock price around $100 right now. But the stock price alone won't tell you whether a company is cheap." A number on a screen isn't value. The real question is whether SpaceX can build a business large enough to grow into a $10 trillion valuation.
Revenue vs valuation — and what Elon actually said
The Short plays a clip of Elon Musk: SpaceX's internal projection for reaching $1 trillion in revenue — total, not annual — has moved up from 2031 to 2030. That word matters: revenue is the money a company makes; valuation is what investors think it's worth. (The clip is explicit that the $1 trillion milestone is cumulative total revenue, not a yearly figure.) Flow's takeaway holds either way: if SpaceX grows toward enormous revenue, a $10 trillion valuation stops looking crazy — but until then, "a great company can still be a bad investment at the wrong price." Price discipline first, hype second.
