Musk wants banks working on SpaceX IPO to buy Grok (SPACE)

Elon Musk asked banks, law firms, auditors and other advisers on SpaceX's IPO to buy subscriptions to his AI chatbot Grok, according to the New York Times. The request is a reputational/conflict-of-interest flag for adviser independence but is unlikely to materially affect SpaceX's valuation or IPO timeline. Monitor any adviser pushback or regulatory scrutiny that could modestly impact relationships with bookrunners or underwriters.
