Someone Just Bet $5.6 Million That Elon's SpaceX IPO Will Send Tesla Flying

Four bullish Tesla call trades totaling $5.6 million hit the tape in the days leading up to the SpaceX IPO. Short-term out of the money calls betting on a Musk halo effect. Deep in the money calls expiring the same day as the IPO. And a $2.3 million January 2027 position taking a longer-term view. Three different time horizons all pointing in the same direction. The question is whether these trades are right. SpaceX raises $75 billion at $135 a share with the book four times oversubscribed and only 3 to 4 percent of shares tradable at first. Retail gets 30 percent of the float. Musk keeps 85 percent of voting control. If the IPO mania spills over into Tesla the short-term calls pay. If SpaceX pulls capital away from everything else they decay fast.
