Analyst Dan Taylor says SpaceX’s valuation is increasingly decoupled from the AI sector and looks driven more by a personal trust premium in CEO Elon Musk than by an AI-driven growth case. Taylor judges Musk’s US$1 trillion revenue target by 2030 unlikely, but says investor confidence in Musk’s track record continues to support the valuation. The pace of upcoming AI-related IPOs will hinge on whether the current AI spending surge endures. Tech names have already bifurcated—semiconductor-linked stocks rallying while SaaS names lag—and Taylor expects that split to persist until AI investment yields clearer commercial returns.
