Kass Says Wall Street Isn't Doing The Work

Kass criticized the quality of commentary surrounding the IPO, saying many market pundits discussing SpaceX had not conducted rigorous valuation work.

He specifically criticized financial television coverage of the IPO, arguing that commentators were speaking in "glittering generalities" while offering confident opinions on valuation.

"Not one talking head said 'I don't know' when asked about the value of SpaceX," Kass wrote, adding that few had likely read the company’s registration statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
