SpaceX is currently privately valued at approximately $350 billion (as of early 2026). This market resolves YES if SpaceX's valuation (based on a secondary market transaction, funding round, or IPO pricing) drops to $175 billion or below at any point before December 31, 2026.
Factors that could contribute to a -50% drop:
- Major Starship mission failures
- Loss of key government contracts (NASA, DoD)
- Elon Musk regulatory or political issues affecting business
- Broader tech/private market valuation crash
- Competition catching up (Blue Origin, Rocket Lab)
- Starlink subscriber growth stalling

@BillClintonBubba Thank you! I think it's great when people respond to bad questions by making their own version. This one seems weird in its own way, but still, I like it!
@EvanDaniel I tried to make something in the spirt of this, but also not a boring question. The chances of SpaceX falling to a $175 Billion valuation in 2026 is near zero. The Chances of it falling to $80 (-50% from June 14th) also kind of boring and single digits.
@MichalPasiak This market doesn't make sense to me.
The question says "current level", and the market was created on June 14th (post-ipo). But the description references a value from early 2026.
Further, the description refers to "SpaceX's valuation (based on a secondary market transaction, funding round, or IPO pricing)", but it's already IPOed, so we have a market price for it.
@DanielTilkin These are good questions. @MichalPasiak would you mind answering as you’re betting YES?
@MachiNi pinging @mods, as the creator already has another market that was resolved very questionably, /MichalPasiak/is-it-possible-that-airplanes-flyin
@DanielTilkin great points. Let's make sure we stick to the IPO price then, as it's the most current. post the number if you got it.
@MichalPasiak So if we use the $175 Billion figure, why are you betting Yes when it's worth $2 Trillion?
@MichalPasiak Okay so at the current 13.08 Billion shares oustanding, for SpaceX to reach $175 Billion, the share price would need to fall to $13.38. Is that correct?
@MichalPasiak why can’t you just answer the question? What baseline value are you using and why are you betting YES?
@MichalPasiak Please strive to be excellent to your fellow users. This includes clarifying and answering reasonable questions.
@MichalPasiak The date would suggest you mean something like the Friday close price. That conflicts with the description.
@EvanDaniel at any point before December 31, 2026./.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. my good are you ppl have iq of potato?
The /MichalPasiak/will-north-korea-conduct-a-major-mi market was also misresolved, the description says "Will North Korea conduct a major military provocation (missile test or attack) against South Korea or Japan in 2026?" and so couldn't reasonably resolve to NO yet. Although funnily enough this resolution went against the market creator, so I don't really get it.
