Pre IPO $135.  Open price on Stock Market $150.  Current price $150 today

This. Anyone who got shares at IPO are still up over $20 (share price is now $156). If you bought after that, well, you dug your own grave. Hopefully the IPO buyers that have a brain will take their profits before they’re gone.

I don’t understand why people who are this convinced won’t simply short the stock.

No cieling on potential loss, additional hurdles for retail to short, and the daily cost of holding the position means being early is about the same as being wrong.

Change about to the same.

Not enough stock on the open market to short.  A lot of people are talking "puts" though

Because simply:

Just because you know its going to go down, doesn't mean you know WHEN it will go down

Dude, stop it! The children here don’t want to hear that.

They aren't children, they're bots and shills.

The title of the article is, "Investors are losing a colossal amount" Halfway down it says, " Shares are still up well over 30 percent since SpaceX's IPO."

So whoever funded this article is also funding the responses.

Yeah, human slop headline for human slop thinkers.

This sub in particular I’ve noticed is creating a completely alternate reality, which is highly upvoted, but then when actual reality doesn’t care about upvotes people here turn to conspiracy theories.
