The real reason SpaceX shares are tanking after out-of-control rocket smashes into moon

SpaceX's share price is declining sharply following its first quarterly financial report since going public in June. While the company exceeded revenue expectations and narrowed losses compared to last year, concerns arose over its significant increase in capital expenditures, particularly on artificial intelligence development. The report showed a sixfold rise in spending to $18.37 billion, surpassing analyst forecasts. This has raised questions among investors about the sustainability of such high spending relative to revenue growth. Additionally, the article mentions a Falcon 9 rocket component crashing into the moon, though this event is not directly linked to the financial downturn. SpaceX's substantial cash reserves, now at $93.5 billion, are offset by rising debt and leasing obligations.
