We’re officially in a different market regime now now, so we’ll go through what we’re seeing and the tickers to play it[tap to join us for Stonkamania]!
Wall Street’s buzzing with one of the wildest theories I’ve heard in a while — and honestly, the more I think about it, the more sense it makes.
There’s talk circulating around the Street that SpaceX and Tesla (TSLA) might merge after SpaceX goes public. Yeah, you read that right. The theory is they’re holding Tesla shares down so SpaceX can acquire it after the IPO.
Now, before you dismiss this as pure speculation, hear me out…
The All-In Podcast crew has been pushing this prediction and just recently Cathie Wood came out with her ARK research backing the same theory. When smart money starts talking the same game, I pay attention.
The Financial Math Actually Works
Here’s where things start to click. Tesla’s sitting at roughly a $1 trillion market cap right now. If SpaceX IPOs at around $2 trillion and then doubles to $4 trillion, you’ve suddenly got $2 trillion in new value. In that scenario, spending $1 trillion buying TSLA still leaves a trillion in net gain.
The math isn’t just convenient, it lines up.
But this isn’t only about financial mechanics. SpaceX needs Tesla’s battery technology for its long-term vision. All the pieces Tesla has been quietly building for years slot directly into the infrastructure SpaceX needs to execute its deeper strategy.
Look, I’ll be straight with you — I’m biased and I’m talking my book here. But think about the landscape. We’ve already seen a crypto coin and a stock ticker for a president — that was one of the biggest pump jobs of all time.
Never say never in this business.
Follow the Money Trail
People keep asking whether the SEC would block something this massive. But ask yourself this…
Who’s running the feds? Trump. And when you look at who has equity stakes in SpaceX, who’s tied into the venture capital upside and who sits on the boards connected to all this, it’s hard not to see the bigger picture.
It’s all connected — the ultimate pumpers. Follow the money. That’s what I’m doing.
Here’s my prediction: I think SpaceX hits $4 trillion in market cap within a month after IPO, making it the most valuable company in the world.
Sounds insane, right? But we’ve seen crazier things happen.
If SpaceX doubles from its IPO valuation, satellite stocks like EchoStar (SATS) should rally around 50%. That’s the play I’m watching — the derivative opportunities that come from this massive consolidation thesis.
I’m not saying this is guaranteed to happen. I don’t have inside information — I’m just a degenerate trader connecting the dots. But when you look at the strategic rationale, the financial mechanics and the political landscape, this merger theory isn’t as far-fetched as it sounds.
Keep your eyes open. This could be one of the biggest market events we’ll see in years.
Order Flow:
This is for informational and educational purposes only. These are not official alerts issued by Lance, but rather some interesting orders picked by the team at Lance Ippolito Trading.
When you look at these plays, always take the market maker move into consideration.
You can be right on the direction but still lose money if the stock doesn’t move enough. That’s where the market maker move comes in clutch.
With puts, they’re often downside hedges in case a stock tanks, especially around earnings. The further out of the money they are, the more likely they are to be hedges.
Also be sure and check when the company’s earnings date is because many of the plays we post here are centered around earnings!
If a stock is really expensive, consider a spread to lower the cost.
And finally, always remember the golden rule when it comes to buying calls: Buy dips, sell rips — and don’t chase!
If a stock’s moved a ton already today, maybe wait for a pullback.
