    SpaceX on Tuesday disclosed it would acquire Cursor for $60 billion in stock, representing roughly 3.4% dilution—meaning investor stakes will represent a smaller percentage of the company—of SpaceX’s $1.77 trillion IPO valuation.

    I never understood this. Dilution should require a vote from owners.

      You vote by selling your stock if you disagree.

      Are more than 50% of shares not owned by Musk? If not, a vote wouldn’t even matter.

      Dilution should require a vote from owners.

      Would it be helpful if that had been written into the company’s AoI and server software?
