Investor and television personality Kevin O’Leary said he may begin buying SpaceX shares once post-IPO volatility settles, arguing that the bigger long-term opportunity lies in Elon Musk potentially connecting SpaceX with Tesla Inc., artificial intelligence, robotics and autonomous driving.
O’Leary Eyes Entry After IPO Volatility
“I passed on my IPO allocation because liquidity matters to me. But as the stock settles over the next 30 to 60 days, I’ll be watching closely, and I may start building a position,” O’Leary said on X. He identified $100 to $110 as a range where volatility could clear.

You can’t value SpaceX like a normal company based on one quarterly earnings report. The bigger opportunity is what Elon could eventually build by bringing SpaceX, Tesla, robotics, autonomous driving, and the rest of his ecosystem together.

O’Leary said investors should not judge SpaceX on one quarter. “The bigger opportunity is what Elon could eventually build” by bringing Musk’s businesses closer together, he said. Previous reporting highlighted Tesla-SpaceX merger speculation, while O’Leary has urged investors to own SpaceX, OpenAI and Anthropic rather than pick one winner.
SpaceX Earnings Strengthen Long-Term Bull Case
SpaceX’s first public earnings report gave bulls fresh data. Second-quarter revenue jumped 92% to $7.8 billion, beating the $6.9 billion consensus estimate, while its loss of 9 cents per share beat expectations for a 26-cent loss. Starlink subscribers doubled to 12 million, and AI revenue surged about 250%.

Capital expenditures topped $18 billion, including $15.83 billion for AI, while operating losses narrowed to $143 million from $970 million. Musk said SpaceX expects a $100 billion revenue run rate by December, and CFO Bret Johnsen said another $6.7 billion of cloud-services contracts will begin ramping in October.
Analysts praised the growth while flagging execution risk. RBC Capital Markets analyst Ken Herbert called the results “positive,” saying SpaceX beat expectations. Zacks strategist Brian Mulberry called AI monetization a “tremendous upside surprise,” according to Reuters.
Lockup Expiration Keeps Shares Under Pressure
SpaceX shares have fallen more than a quarter since their June 12 debut, even after Thursday’s first lockup expiration made 911.5 million additional shares eligible for sale.
Benzinga’s Edge Stock Rankings indicate that SpaceX stock maintains a weak price trend in the short, long, and medium terms.

Building Wealth Across More Than Just the Market
Building a resilient portfolio means thinking beyond a single asset or market trend. Economic cycles shift, sectors rise and fall, and no one investment performs well in every environment. That’s why many investors look to diversify with platforms that provide access to real estate, fixed-income opportunities, precious metals, and even self-directed retirement accounts. By spreading exposure across multiple asset classes, it becomes easier to manage risk, capture steady returns, and create long-term wealth that isn’t tied to the fortunes of just one company or industry.
Arrived
Backed by Jeff Bezos, Arrived Homes makes real estate investing accessible with a low barrier to entry. Investors can buy fractional shares of single-family rentals and vacation homes starting with as little as $100. This allows everyday investors to diversify into real estate, collect rental income, and build long-term wealth without needing to manage properties directly.
Realberry
Institutional-quality real estate has traditionally been difficult for individual investors to access. Realberry gives accredited investors direct access to private real estate opportunities backed by a team with 35 years of experience, $3.4 billion in assets under management, and $481 million in cumulative distributions paid to investors as of Q4 2025, according to the company. With a portfolio spanning 13 million square feet across seven U.S. states, Realberry focuses on acquiring, developing, and managing real estate with an emphasis on long-term value creation while its principals often invest alongside clients to help align interests.

Immersed is building technology for the future of work through spatial computing. Known for its AR/VR productivity platform that enables users to work across multiple virtual screens, the company has grown to more than 1.5 million users worldwide. Immersed is also developing Visor, a lightweight headset designed specifically for professional productivity, positioning the company at the intersection of remote work, extended reality (XR), and next-generation computing.
Fundrise

Mode Mobile
Mode Mobile is changing the way people interact with their phones by letting users earn money from the same apps and activities they already use every day. Instead of platforms keeping all the advertising revenue, Mode Mobile shares a portion back with users who engage with content, play games, and scroll on their devices. Named one of Deloitte’s fastest-growing software companies in North America, the company has built a large beta user base and is scaling a model that turns everyday smartphone usage into a potential income stream.
EquityMultiple
For accredited investors looking beyond stocks and bonds, EquityMultiple provides access to vetted commercial real estate deals starting at $5,000, with only ~5% of opportunities passing their due diligence process.
