Jo Bhakdi“the ability to get to 10 20 billion free cash flow by 2028 to double that of Tesla will be more or less guaranteed”@ 9:09 · open at this moment on YouTube ↗
Thesis at the time
BullishTesla shareholders should support a potential SpaceX merger despite 50% dilution because SpaceX's space-based data centers could generate massive cash flows starting in 2027-2028. The merger would be justified if SpaceX can match or exceed Tesla's discounted cash flow potential through strategic partnerships with Nvidia and the Department of Defense.
Key arguments
- SpaceX space-based data centers could save 50% of costs compared to terrestrial data centers
- Strategic partnerships with Nvidia and Department of Defense could provide massive upfront commitments
- Space-based infrastructure represents the ultimate high ground for military and commercial applications
- Starship technology makes $200/kg launch costs achievable by 2027
Counter-arguments acknowledged
- Risk of another five years of stock flatlining while waiting for SpaceX to prove itself
- 50% dilution requires careful analysis of discounted cash flows to justify
Hedges and caveats (from the video)
- Merger is hypothetical and speculative
- Emphasizes need for rational analysis over excitement
- Acknowledges risk of stock flatlining during integration
- Requires shareholders to vote on any actual merger
- Cautions against betting retirement funds on speculative ventures
- Stresses importance of conservative valuation methodology
