A friend told me that Starlink stock might be coming out soon. Is this true? Good stock to invest in, since it will be powering the Tesla Pi phone soon?
Starlink IPO soon?
- Thread starter daves66nova
- Start date
I don’t think Pi is an actual product.
I doubt Starlink will go public without SpaceX, and I don't think SpaceX will go public any time soon. I could be wrong, but it would be surprising. I'm not an expert in the subject, but I'd guess that making Starlink a public company and breaking it off of SpaceX would result in some exposure to antitrust issues.
Pi PHONE. Sure it is.
I’m not trying to be rude but there is simply no evidence of Tesla actually working on or releasing a phone.
Elon has talked about it going public for a while - but I doubt it. The only reason to do so is that either Elon or the other investors want their money back.
I would be a buyer if it did.
More companies are being taken private than are going public. Going public isn't the utopia it once was.

It is not easy to sell a phone people wants. Ask Jeff Bezos, he failed and wrote off a few hundred millions if not more with that Fire Phone idea.
I think all you need to work with Starlink these days is a new RF circuit that works with the bands it support. The satellite deal with the rest using multi satellites in MIMO. In other words, almost every phone in the world will support Starlink in a few years.

At the moment it is cheaper to finance growth with loans, but regardless of stock sales (via IPO or VC) or loans the demand for high risk investment is low and that's the nature of new aerospace companies like SpaceX and therefore Starlink.
I suspect that staying private makes it easier to work with the defense industry and if they don't need that much cash this soon they can just keep its own pace without exit. You can't make your rocket development twice as fast by dumping twice as much cash and hire twice as many people unlike software.
There are probably enough cash flow coming in from Starlink to fund the rocket development. They can probably now use secondary market to let employee sell private shares to keep them happy, no need to go fully public.
You are correct^^
Also Starlink is a subsidiary of Space X and still trying to become profitable in a meaningful way. I assume they will but can't see them spinning off the company, then again who knows? But who will want it, without a meaningful path forward?
