I have invested close to seven figures in SpaceX stock so far. I find it incredibly unlikely that the stock will tank or that my investment will go to waste.

I invested most of it over the past few days after the stock price initially fell by almost 25%, as many had predicted.

However, I view this as a long-term investment.

I don't expect a rise as stratospheric as Bitcoin's, but I could see SpaceX following a trajectory similar to Nvidia stock's since 2018–19.

Elon Musk's SpaceX Could Acquire T-Mobile In Wireless Push, Says Analyst

Elon Musk's SpaceX could acquire a U.S. wireless services provider, with T-Mobile the most likely target, speculated a TD Cowen analyst.

Elon Musk's SpaceX Could Acquire T-Mobile In Wireless Push, Says Analyst​

Elon Musk's SpaceX (SPCX) could acquire a U.S. wireless services provider, with T-Mobile US (TMUS) the most likely target, speculated a TD Cowen analyst in a report. SpaceX stock dipped a fraction on Thursday while T-Mobile stock edged higher.

SpaceX's telecom ambitions have pressured shares in AT&T (T), Verizon Communications (VZ) and T-Mobile.

In 2025, the rocket and satellite company garnered about 70% of overall revenue from Starlink, which provides satellite broadband services. Musk aims to turn Starlink from a rural broadband provider into a broader global connectivity platform spanning broadband, mobile and hybrid satellite-terrestrial networks.

Starlink has partnered with T-Mobile and other wireless firms globally to develop satellite-based, direct-to-device (D2D) technology to eliminate rural "dead zones" where cellphone service is not available.

SpaceX does not yet own terrestrial spectrum. To sell both terrestrial and satellite-based wireless services, it would need to lease network capacity from AT&T, Verizon or T-Mobile on a wholesale basis.

SpaceX is reportedly planning to build its own natural gas pipeline in Texas


Filings seen by Reuters and Rio Grande Valley Business Journal reportedly reveal that SpaceX is set to begin building a natural gas pipeline in Texas, stretching eight miles from a starting site at the Port of Brownsville to the company's Starbase. Construction on the pipeline will begin next month, and it's expected to be finished and running by January 26, Reuters reports.

The 16-inch pipeline will carry natural gas directly to Starbase so it can be processed there into liquid methane for Starship. According to Reuters, the company filed engineering plans last summer with the US Corps of Engineers to build a liquefaction facility on site. SpaceX is currently approved by the FAA for up to 25 launches a year, though it's only launched Starship 12 times to date since its maiden flight in April 2023. Each launch requires about 630,000 gallons of liquid methane, transported by hundreds of tanker trucks.
