And if we listen to AE Industrials, the biggest space fund, SpaceX is already too expensive for them...

Listen carefully, because what Kirk Konert said at 24:35 is precise and describes a reality that is exactly opposite of what you imply it is.  SpaceX is too expensive for them because of deal size, not because it is a bad investment at this valuation.

Like other earlier-stage venture capital funds, they don't want to be one investor among many, each taking a small piece of a company.  Rather, they want to take a big piece of a small company.  Unless you are an enormous fund, SpaceX is valued so highly that it is impossible to take a big piece of it.

Kirk:  We're too late! [laughs long and hard]  Alright?
For us, from our standpoint, we target three times our money in terms of return.  Where SpaceX is today, it's a great investment, but it's hard for us to take a very small position in a really great company.  It isn't our investment thesis.

How for the love of all things space did this idiotic sub-thread get resurrected?

It's like one of those WWII bombs they keep finding in Cologne or Berlin...  Amusing, but not funny when you stop and think about it.
