No, it doesn't. Aside from the face-slappingly obvious fact that SpaceX is losing a half a billion dollars a quarter, that's not how corporate revenue works. Unless the corporate profits are paid out in dividends, you don't just get to hoover them up as a shareholder.

No one said anything about dollar-in revenue dollar-out dividend. only you. if i have vested interest in a company and that company’s value is perceived to increase then i get to leverage that value into economic power. yes
