Elon Musk was a no-show for a much-hyped unique CNBC interview Friday, as tech reporter Julia Boorstin famous that SpaceX stock had dipped 3%.
“We’ve been promoting this exclusive interview that Elon Musk was expected to give to our Julia Boorstin, which is now apparently no longer happening,” introduced Fast Money Halftime Report host Scott Wapner about 11 minutes after Musk was as a result of seem.
“Julia, do you want to explain to us exactly what happened here, as this was imminent?” Wapner requested.
“Yeah, we were expecting to start an interview with Elon Musk right now at noon Eastern,” Boorstin stated. “We just got word that he has to postpone. Obviously, it would have been great to talk to him in his first TV interview since SpaceX went public. There is so much to talk about. I mean, look at today. SpaceX shares are trading below where the stock traded for its first trade. It’s well off its highs since that IPO just a couple of weeks ago.”
“But if we look at SpaceX shares, now trading down nearly 3% today at $148. So, Scott, we hope he will give us a new time for this interview. But we’ve just heard that he is postponing,” Boorstin added.
“Okay, it’s an unfortunate development for sure, but you’ll let us know what happens from here, Julia,” Wapner stated earlier than including , “I think investors are having a hard time figuring out how to value this company. A literal out-of-this-world, TAM (Total Addressable Market), that they’ve talked about. Revenue projections that are astronomical, and how they can, in fact, reach those those targets.”
Wapner requested Kevin Simpson, founder and chief funding officer of Capital Wealth Planning, “How did you get past that to decide you wanted to own this?”
“Well, we’re down a little bit on it, as most investors are at this point, sub 150,” Simpson stated, persevering with:
We have a small place in it. You could make the argument for the bull case that they’ve the dominance, the monopoly with respect to the Falcon. Obviously we all know what they will do with Starlink. Again, nearly monopolistic. And then the Elon Musk issue, which we put a huge premium, for higher or for worse. Sometimes he doesn’t present up for an interview. Would have been superior, as a result of what I used to be most all for listening to about was simply his ideas on whether or not or not Tesla, which we additionally personal within the development portfolio, and SpaceX may be serious about merging collectively.
