Is SpaceX Overvalued? + What to Do When You're Not Getting Promoted

This episode moves from high-stakes investing to everyday career dilemmas and the difficult choices families make about where to live.
Scott Galloway questions whether SpaceX’s extraordinary valuation reflects durable business fundamentals or a combination of scarcity, investor excitement, index demand, and Elon Musk’s reputation. Although those forces may support the company’s price in the short term, future lockup expirations, debt-financed AI infrastructure, and complex financial engineering could introduce significant risks. He also warns that betting against an apparently inflated stock can remain dangerous for longer than expected.
The conversation then turns to workplace relationships. When a former peer becomes a manager, the best approach is to remain constructive, communicate openly, and protect one’s professional standards. If honest feedback and performance discussions do not resolve persistent unfairness or tension, transferring to another team or manager may be the most sensible option.
Finally, Galloway considers why families often leave expensive major cities. Rising housing costs, the practical demands of raising children, access to relatives, and lower expenses elsewhere can outweigh the cultural and professional advantages of urban life. Parenthood frequently changes priorities, making suburbs or smaller cities a more sustainable choice.
