What’s inside
- SpaceX is public and profitable, pays nothing, and fell by a third in a month, with its biggest insider unlock still ahead
- The largest holders own it through ordinary index funds and collect income from the structure, not the stock
- Section 561 and the 90% rule in Section 852 effectively force regulated funds to pay out what they earn
- The first SpaceX income products exist, and their own fine print caps the upside and warns of return of capital
- With a December rate hike widely expected and more giant AI listings coming, getting paid while you wait matters more
