The valuation drop shows fragility of concentrated wealth built on government contracts and hype while public needs remain underfunded.
“Wealth concentration as policy problem tied to public resources”
The slump reflects normal equity volatility after private innovation outperformed government space efforts.
“Market discipline and individual risk-taking versus bureaucracy”
Investor decisions and price signals allocate capital more effectively than centralized planning.
“Voluntary exchange and absence of subsidies or bailouts”
All prior views rest on the incorrect premise of a public IPO and overlook private valuation mechanics plus NASA/DoD revenue dependence.
“Measurement artifacts and unexamined execution metrics”
