SpaceX had its historic stock market debut, and retail investors are incredibly excited to buy in. Meanwhile, shares of Elon Musk's other company, Tesla, actually dropped today.

## Idea

Elon Musk's retail fanbase has been eagerly waiting to buy SpaceX, and now that it's finally public, their money is flowing into the new stock rather than his other ventures. This distraction is causing Tesla stock to slide as fans sell their Tesla shares to fund SpaceX purchases. With the SpaceX IPO dominating the headlines and pulling investor attention away from the EV giant, this short-term drop in Tesla could continue over the next few days.
