While a successful SpaceX debut could boost Tesla's AI valuation and reduce sell-off risks, bearish concerns cite capital rotation from multi-strategy funds favoring SpaceX over Tesla. Institutional reallocation effects may unfold over the following three months." datetime: "2026-06-09T15:49:10.000Z" locales: - [zh-CN](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/289215247.md) - [en](https://longbridge.com/en/news/289215247.md) - [zh-HK](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/289215247.md) --- # Tesla Stock Wobbles As Elon Musk Lines Up The SpaceX IPO **Tesla, Inc.** (NASDAQ:TSLA) shares dropped about 1.5% Tuesday morning, after a strong showing on Monday when the stock surged 4.59% to close at $408.95, per Benzinga Pro. The moves have nothing to do with a delivery miss, an **Elon Musk** social media post or a product delay. Investors are attempting to price in something bigger: the imminent arrival of Musk’s second trillion-dollar public company. - _TSLA stock is moving ahead of the SpaceX IPO._ Watch the price action here.  **SpaceX** is set to begin trading on the Nasdaq this Friday, after pricing 555.6 million Class A shares at a fixed $135 each — a raise of $75 billion that would dwarf Saudi Aramco’s 2019 record and land SpaceX at a roughly $1.75 trillion implied valuation.  Final pricing comes Thursday evening. By Friday morning, Musk will be running two of the largest public companies on the planet simultaneously. For TSLA shareholders, the week carries both promise and peril. **Read Also: MANGOS Is The New Magnificent Seven — And Half Of It Hasn't Gone Public Yet** ## TSLA Bull Case  In the bull case, a blockbuster SpaceX debut forces the market to reassess everything in the Musk ecosystem.  If SpaceX commands a $1.75 trillion or higher valuation, investors will inevitably start asking harder questions about the premium attached to Tesla’s own AI stack: Dojo supercomputing, Full Self-Driving and the Optimus robotics program.  A public SpaceX also gives Musk a liquid equity stake worth hundreds of billions, meaningfully reducing the risk that he sells Tesla shares on the open market to fund other ventures — a dynamic that has historically weighed on the stock. There is also a structural catalyst hiding in plain sight. Tesla disclosed a $2 billion equity investment in SpaceX in its Q1 earnings, and the two companies are jointly building what Tesla describes as “the largest chip foundry in the U.S.” at the Gigafactory Texas campus.  ## TSLA Bear Case  The bear case is just as clean. Multi-strategy growth funds operating under hard “Musk exposure” caps face a forced choice: buy SPCX or hold TSLA, but not both at full weight.  BNP Paribas analyst James Piccolo has flagged the capital rotation dynamic, warning it could split Tesla’s famously loyal retail base, according to Bloomberg.   **Read Also: Buy The Dip? Not So Fast. 6 Stocks Investors Ignored In Last Week's Chaos** ## Looking Past Friday The deeper question isn’t what happens Friday. It’s what happens in the 90 days that follow.  DataTrek Research estimates institutional reallocation takes roughly three months to register in share prices, which means the Teslatrade that matters most won’t be settled at the opening bell on June 12 — it’ll be written over the summer. Musk has never had a week like this. Neither has the market. **TSLA Stock Price Activity:** Tesla shares were down 3.71% at $393.77 at the time of publication on Tuesday, according to Benzinga Pro data. _Photo: TY Lim / Shutterstock_ ### Related Stocks - [TSL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSL.US.md) - [TSLA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLA.US.md) - [TESL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TESL.US.md) - [TSLS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLS.US.md) - [TSLZ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLZ.US.md) - [TSLQ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLQ.US.md) - [TSDD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSDD.US.md) - [TSLT.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLT.US.md) - [TSLG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLG.US.md) - [TSLR.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLR.US.md) - [TSLL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLL.US.md) - [07766.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/07766.HK.md) - [TSLI.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLI.US.md) - [TSLO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLO.US.md) - [TSLW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLW.US.md) - [TSLY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLY.US.md) - [TSYY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSYY.US.md) - [TYYY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TYYY.US.md) - [CRSH.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/CRSH.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [ANALYSIS-Short-sellers to tread carefully as Musk's SpaceX debuts](https://longbridge.com/en/news/289169202.md) - [Tesla Is Selling Discounted Used Cybertrucks Now](https://longbridge.com/en/news/288387653.md) - [Tesla design chief says Roadster reveal is coming soon as report suggests August delay](https://longbridge.com/en/news/289068795.md) - [OneAscent Financial Services LLC Raises Holdings in Tesla, Inc. $TSLA](https://longbridge.com/en/news/288929409.md) - [Tesla Model 3 has a tasty Supercharging incentive, but it’s ending soon](https://longbridge.com/en/news/288894768.md)
