That doesn't mean you're completely out of options. Some investors gain indirect exposure through funds or publicly traded companies that hold SpaceX equity. It's not the same as owning shares outright, but it's the closest most retail traders will ever get without an institutional account or a spot on a private secondary market.

The millionaire question is seductive but dangerous. Private companies at SpaceX's scale carry enormous valuation risk — what looks like a rocket ship on paper can crater if a liquidity event never arrives or arrives at a disappointing price.

Those fundamentals are compelling. But compelling fundamentals don't automatically translate into retail-trader gains when you can't control your entry price or exit timing.
