Jeremy Grantham calls SpaceX IPO 'craziest in history,' predicts future ridicule

Investor Jeremy Grantham has voiced strong skepticism about SpaceX's recent IPO, calling it the "craziest IPO in the history of man." He believes future investors will look back and find SpaceX's ambitious, multiplanetary goals outlined in its prospectus laughable. Despite mixed analyst targets and a recent dip in share price, Grantham questions why Wall Street banks are recommending the stock, suggesting that its ultimate collapse or a radical future shaped by AI and automation will make it a historically notable event.
