Get into Starlink IPO and hold for 10 years. It’s going to support high speed network, full self driving for EV, neuralink, SpaceX initiatives. Elon may allow those TSLA shareholders the rights to buy Starlink first. He could consider grouping his companies into a holding company thereafter. Buy & hold TSLA!
- Christinee:
  Buying tesla is akin to buying a series of start ups
- TradingNewbie:
  Buying TSLA will have the opportunity to invest in other Elon’s companies

Preorder messages tell users that SpaceX is “targeting coverage in your area in mid to late 2021,” while other preorders say 2022.\nThe company disclosed in an Federal Communications Commission filing last week that Starlink has “over 10,000 users in the United States and abroad,” in just over three months since the public beta began.\nMusk also reiterated last week that SpaceX plans to eventually spin off Starlink and take it public. He said that Starlink “needs to pass through a deep chasm of negative cash flow over the next year or so.”\n“Once we can predict cash flow reasonably well, Starlink will IPO,” Musk said.\nSpaceX’s Starship rocket represents its other ambitious endeavor, with the company steadily building and testing prototypes in Boca Chica, Texas. The company has successfully launched multiple Starship prototypes, landing them safely after short flights to about 500 feet altitude. But its two most recent high-altitude flights, despite passing multiple development milestones,have exploded on impact during attempted landings.\nThe Starship prototypes are built of stainless steel, with the company aiming to develop a rocket system that is reusable in much the same way as a commercial airliner. SpaceX is developing Starship with the goal of launching cargo and as many as 100 people at a time on missions to the moon and Mars.\nDespite the explosive endings to the last two flights, SpaceX has viewed the launches as steps forward in the rocket’s development. The next Starship prototype is in place on the company’s launchpad, with SpaceX expected to attempt another test flight in the coming weeks.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":385813015,"gmtCreate":1613529622537,"gmtModify":1704881666515,"author":{"id":"3573557044143770","authorId":"3573557044143770","authorIdStr":"3573557044143770","name":"blahblah","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/25510c26ea6c0143951a85080bf9cf7b","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3573557044143770"},"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/385813015","repostId":1181849624,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":385832560,"gmtCreate":1613529107550,"gmtModify":1704881666189,"author":{"id":"3575408338074495","authorId":"3575408338074495","authorIdStr":"3575408338074495","name":"我发大财了","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/850ce10f8979981b703d0999ccb63c31","vip":1,"crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"3575408338074495"},"htmlText":"Elon
