how to trigger a buying frenzy (even if your offer is insanely expensive)

In case you missed it:

Elon Musk’s rocket and satellite company SpaceX had a record-setting IPO last week.

By all accounts, both retail and institutional investors piled in by the truckload…

Sending the stock up 20% on its first day of trading.

And minting Elon as the world’s first trillionaire.

A momentous occasion for multiple reasons.

Yet what struck me most about it wasn’t the fact that it instantly made Space the world’s 7th most valuable company…

Or the fact that I’m now closer to Jeff Bezos’s net worth than he is to Elon’s…

Instead it was:

What a powerful tool narrative is for building belief in your product.

You see, plenty of pundits were quick to point out that SpaceX’s valuation was somewhere bonkers and batshit crazy.

And technically speaking, it’s true.

For reference:

Google IPO’d at 7-10x trailing revenue and was already profitable.

Meanwhile, SpaceX IPO’d at 90-100x PROJECTED revenue and lost $4.9 billion last year.

Apples and oranges, to say the least.

SpaceX was insanely expensive by any conventional metric.

So… how to explain the difference?

Narrative.

Investors are sold on the story of Elon and SpaceX.

Because one thing he is brilliant at is painting a vision of the future.

Over time, that vision becomes the story of the company.

And reinforcing the story is how he builds belief among his investors, employees, and customers.

With Tesla, it was accelerating the world’s transition to sustainable energy.

With Neuralink, it’s restoring autonomy to people who’ve lost it by implanting chips in their brain.

And in the case of SpaceX, it’s getting us to Mars and turning humanity into an interstellar species.

Regardless of what you think of the guy…

He’s mastered the art and science of using storytelling to build belief.

And converting that belief into money.

(at a ridiculous premium, I might add)
