00:00Walk us through the open and what you've been hearing and seeing.
00:03Well, the excitement and relief here at the Nasdaq is palpable because, as Bailey was saying,
00:11this has gone off without a hitch with SpaceX opening just over two hours after the opening bell.
00:18And now we are seeing a company that is public at around $2.2 trillion.
00:24That is more valuable than the likes of Meta, Tesla, and even Saudi Aramco.
00:33And the strong debut, of course, isn't entirely surprising given the enormous demand we saw
00:38ahead of the offering from both the retail and institutional side with the deal heavily oversubscribed.
00:45And speaking of retail investors, speaking of Elon fans, it was funny to see the crowds
00:51gathering outside, the paparazzi gathering outside, waiting to maybe catch a glimpse of
00:56Elon Musk.
00:57But as you said, he was not here.
00:59He was over at Starbase in Texas.
01:01So that was quite funny to see.
01:03But you could see the excitement here, especially from the investors who have been with this
01:09company from the start or the president, the CFO of SpaceX, who were here on the floor excited
01:15to get this thing going.
