Kevin O'Leary said he may start buying SpaceX shares after 30 to 60 days of post-IPO trading if volatility clears in the $100 to $110 range, arguing investors should not judge the company on one quarter because the larger opportunity is Elon Musk potentially tying SpaceX more closely to Tesla, artificial intelligence, robotics and autonomous driving. Previous reporting highlighted Tesla-SpaceX merger speculation, and O'Leary has urged investors to own SpaceX, OpenAI and Anthropic rather than pick one winner. The comment, posted on X on August 6, 2026, followed SpaceX's first public earnings report, which showed second-quarter revenue up 92% to $7.8 billion against a $6.9 billion consensus estimate and a loss of 9 cents per share versus expectations for a 26-cent loss; Starlink subscribers doubled to 12 million, AI revenue rose about 250%, capital expenditures topped $18 billion including $15.83 billion for AI, and operating losses narrowed to $143 million from $970 million. Musk said SpaceX expects a $100 billion revenue run rate (annualized pace based on current revenue) by December, while CFO Bret Johnsen said another $6.7 billion of cloud-services contracts will begin ramping in October. Analysts called the quarter positive but warned on execution risk, even as shares remained down more than a quarter since their June 12 debut and Thursday's first lockup expiration (end of insider selling restrictions) made 911.5 million additional shares eligible for sale; Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings showed weak short-, medium- and long-term price trends, while SPCX rose 0.05% to $114.98 in Friday pre-market trading.
