SpaceX Stock Debut Signals Good News for Nvidia and Google
SpaceX's stock is now publicly traded, and early paper gains for major investors like Nvidia and Google are turning heads on Wall Street.
SpaceX finally made its stock market debut, and a few heavyweight tech names are sitting on some pretty sweet paper gains as a result. Companies like Nvidia and Google had already taken stakes in Elon Musk's rocket and satellite giant, so when shares started trading publicly, their balance sheets got a nice little boost — at least on paper.

Whether those gains hold depends entirely on how SpaceX performs as a publicly traded company going forward.
