Shares of Elon Musk’s SpaceX are continuing their weeks-long decline, hitting a new all-time low of around $115 by Wednesday afternoon. 
The scale of the accumulating losses since the company’s hotly-anticipated IPO last month is staggering. 
The company has wiped out over $1.1 trillion in market value since hitting an all-time high of $225 last month, and it’s possible that its decline is just getting started. 
The rocket company has given investors little to grasp onto, apart from an ever-optimistic Musk claiming that it could one day be worth more than the entire Earth . 
On Thursday, the company was forced to scrub the launch of its Starship spacecraft because several engines failed to start  a perfect metaphor for the company’s recent stock market performance. 
Meanwhile, countless short sellers are making billions by betting against the company , adding plenty of downward pressure on the stock. 
Looming in the background is the second quarter earnings call of Musk’s EV maker, Tesla, on Wednesday evening. 
The company has been burning through cash at an alarming rate despite seeing sales and revenues jump. 
Analysts are still keeping close tabs on the chance that Musk may fold Tesla into SpaceX, a merger of unprecedented proportions. 
Tesla will likely be facing plenty of questions about the possibility during this week’s earnings call. 
“I think there’s over 80 percent chance that Tesla and SpaceX get together in 2027,” tech analyst and longtime Tesla bull Dan Ives said in a note . 
“It’s the logical move from a data engineering perspective and Musk ownership. 
It makes too much sense for it not to happen.” 
The level of uncertainty is palpable. 
SpaceX is lining up its prototype Starship rocket for another launch attempt on Thursday. 
Roughly a week and a half later, the company is expected to release its second quarter financials, a major litmus test of where the company is headed. 
As Yahoo Finance notes , investors are interested in how much the rocket company will be spending on AI products and the growth of its Starlink internet satellite business. 
What likely won’t change is the fact that the company’s lofty valuation remains largely disconnected from its ability to make any money. 
SpaceX lost almost $5 billion last year  and xAI, which was folded into the company when it took over X-formerly-Twitter, lost a further $6.4 billion.
