SpaceX shares fall 6.4% to $130.66 after Musk pushes Starship upper-stage catch to "a few months"
SpaceX shares fell 6.4% below the $135 IPO level after Elon Musk pushed the Starship upper-stage tower-catch attempt out by "a few months", underperforming a modest S&P 500 decline. The delay raises near-term execution risk around full reusability milestones and extends timelines for Starship-dependent initiatives such as the planned 2027 Starmind AI computing satellite deployment, despite analysts framing limited long-term impact.
