Yesterday SpaceX became the largest company ever to go public, in an IPO that values Elon Musk's rocket-and-AI conglomerate at $1.78 trillion. But SpaceX is just the first. Anthropic and OpenAI have both filed to go public, Alphabet has just raised a record $85 billion in new stock, and Meta is reportedly considering doing the same. Goldman Sachs expects as much as $675 billion of new equity to hit the market this year.
For two decades the stock market did nothing but shrink — companies stayed private, bought back their own shares, and got taken private by private equity, leaving less and less stock to go around. That era is now over. In this video I look at why all of this is happening at once, what the AI buildout has to do with it, why the SpaceX deal has been such an awkward experience for Wall Street, what the prospectus actually reveals about where the $75 billion is going, and whether any of it is a good investment — with a look back at what happened to people who bought Cisco at the top in 2000.
