HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE, LEGAL EDUCATION EDITION: A Majority of Law Professors Say Legal Education Is Heading in the Wrong Direction.. “Conservative law faculty experience a sharply different climate than their liberal colleagues: 61% of conservative faculty say their law school is hostile toward people with their political beliefs, compared to 11% of liberal faculty, and three times as many hide their political beliefs to keep their job (52% versus 17%).”

BIG MONEY: SpaceX IPO raised $10bn more than thought.

Elon Musk’s rocket and Artificial Intellgience (AI) company pulled off the biggest initial public offering (IPO) in history when it joined New York’s Nasdaq stock exchange last week.

The listing had raised $75bn from investors, which Musk told employees will be spent funding a “significant growth phase”.

But the banks which backed the IPO exercised a so-called “greenshoe” clause, which let them purchase an extra $10bn of SpaceX shares.

The extra $10bn raised, revealed in a statement by SpaceX announcing the completion of the listing, would by itself rank as one of the biggest IPOs in history.

It came thanks to a financial mechanism known as an overallotment option, more commonly referred to as a “greenshoe” option.

When a company goes public in a highly anticipated listing, investor demand can outstrip the initial supply of shares.

To prevent wild price swings and ensure a smoother launch, a greenshoe agreement lets the banks handling the listing sell more shares than originally planned.

In SpaceX’s case, appetite was exceptionally high.

Here’s maybe one small reason why, courtesy of a CNBC interview from Friday:

SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell just laid out the official launch roadmap for Starship, and the cadence is about to go vertical

Here's the timeline:
• Flight 13: Launch is roughly a month away
• Flight 14: The big one. SpaceX intends to attempt a full orbital injection

Getting Starship into service before the end of the year would be a Very Big Deal, and Shotwell’s ETAs tend to be a bit more reliable than Elon’s.

Meg Turner has been a vampire for twenty years. Her favorite food is rapists. Which is how she met Andi Donahue, her new best friend/ girl Friday.

But how can Andi help Meg stop a killer she can’t even see?
