If these shares drop back to near IPO price, I may buy some. I do expect long term the company to do well. I have some Tesla bought a few years ago that I'm very happy with.

None of that matters to Elizabeth Warren who, along with Jayapal and a few others, are beating the wealth tax drum again.

And since momentum elsewhere is fading, retail has decided to double down on the very illiquid SPCX after hours, where its low float has made it a great squeeze candidate by the retail crew, and the stock is now exploding higher, and at last check was trading just over $210, meaning the stock has added $250 billion in market cap after the close - or a total of $650 billion today alone...
which translates into a market cap of $2.75 trillion or more than Apple's $2.65 trillion.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
-- Justice Janice Rogers Brown
