This one is for the math enthusiasts. If $Space Exploration Technologies Corp(SPCX)$ is valued at $1.77T on $18B in revenue, that implies a price-to-sales multiple of roughly 98x. Apply that same multiple to $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ , which generates over $200B in annual revenue, and the theoretical valuation would be around $20T–$22T, or roughly $7,800–$8,600 per share based on today's market cap and price.

Obviously, META won't trade at a 98x revenue multiple. That's not the point. The point is the valuation disconnect. META is wildly profitable, dominant, cash-flow rich, and leveraged to AI, yet it trades at a normal earnings multiple, while hype assets command absurd revenue multiples. By comparison, $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ looks cheap.

Can someone help me understand this?
