Ross Gerber, president of Gerber Kawasaki, personally owns SpaceX shares and is holding them long-term. He believes a Tesla-SpaceX merger is a foregone conclusion, arguing that Tesla is 'worthless' without it because XAI owns the brains (AI/FSD IP) that Tesla needs. He advises retail investors to wait for lockup expirations and buy gradually, warning that IPOs are volatile and most investors panic-sell. He also notes that SpaceX has better management than Tesla and would survive without Elon Musk.
