On Monday, the company [suffered its biggest single-day loss yet](), with shares sliding over 13 percent, hitting a brutal $158 by mid-afternoon. That's all the way down from its all-time high of over $225 on June 16 — and within a razor-thin margin of its opening price of $150. Given the company's astronomical multitrillion-dollar valuation, that translates into a loss of well over $200 billion in market capitalization, a [bruising day for anybody]() who bought in last week. Even a [new deal with open-source AI startup Reflection](), estimated to be worth around $6.3 billion, did little to keep investor enthusiasm from deflating this week, with retail buyers already asking some tough questions about the unusual space-and-AI behemoth. As SpaceX detailed in its Securities and Exchange Commission filings ahead of its IPO, there are a litany of reasons why investors should expect volatility. For one, the company has been burning through billions of dollars in cash, and its road to profitability is as uncertain as ever. Musk's track record of making good on his promises is also shaky, to say the very least, undermining his plans to [build out an enormous data center constellation in space](). Experts have also [questioned]() the plan's financial viability and physical feasibility. In short, buying SpaceX is a vote of confidence in Musk, not a decision based on any business fundamentals — and the market's perspective on Musk fluctuates considerably. We're unlikely to see a short-term crisis. SpaceX disclosed today that it's [racked up just over $100 billion cash](), leaving it plenty of room to maneuver and [pay off short-term bridge financing](). **More on SpaceX:** [*SpaceX Investors Are Losing a Colossal Amount of Money*]() ## Author I've been at Futurism since 2017, where my role has evolved to encompass design, writing, and increasingly editing. I've always been fascinated by space exploration and advanced transportation, which I've leaned into by interviewing luminaries in those fields while closely following the dimensions of policy and regulation that allow next-generation projects to succeed -- or, sometimes, to fail. I'm also keenly interested in the effects of generative AI on society, policies, and democratic institutions, as well as clean energy, physics and biology, and the vagaries of tech leadership. My work for Futurism has been cited by publications including Ars Technica, Gizmodo, PC Magazine, Jalopnik, Fox News, and the New York Post. I spent my childhood living in locations including Manila, the Philippines, and Geneva, Switzerland, attended McGill University, and now live in Toronto, Canada. Before Futurism I worked at AskMen and a small photography studio. In my free time, I'm an avid gardener, foodie, and craft beer lover, as well as a maker of artisanal hot pepper sauces. I have a magnificent dog named Freida. ### Author social links [Bluesky]()
