SpaceX is shaping up to be the most anticipated Pre-IPO play of 2026, and the entire market is scrambling for a piece of the action. Everyone keeps asking the same question: how do I get on board? But here is where it gets interesting. On Hyperliquid, 7 massive whales have collectively opened short positions against SpaceX. The top 5 largest investors are all betting on a decline. The biggest whale built their position at an average price of $204.1, which implies a valuation of $2.47 trillion. Every single position is over $1 million. Does that make any sense? The hottest ticket in town, and the wealthiest players are all betting against it? The answer is not that they lack faith in SpaceX. The real issue here is: who gets to set the price? Musk has never wanted the market to dictate valuation. He wants to call the shots, control the offering size, and decide the listing timing himself. These whales are betting that eventually, Musk will be forced to compromise. And at that exact moment of compromise, the secondary market — currently being shorted — will be where they scoop up bargains. The hottest asset is always the one most vulnerable to a pricing war.
