  type: PropertyValue
  value: SpaceX as a diversified, financially disciplined infrastructure platform — not just a launch company, but an AI-enabling compute and connectivity provider.
additional property: Missing Context
  type: PropertyValue
  value: No breakdown of revenue sources; No mention of operating expenses or net income; No context on whether 'doubling' reflects one-time contract recognition or recurring revenue
additional property: How the Spin Works
  type: PropertyValue
  value: It combines the credibility signal of 'quarterly earnings' (implying regulatory rigor) with prestigious partner names (Anthropic, Google) and a concrete metric ('doubles') to create momentum perception — yet the claim rests entirely on an unlinked, unsourced assertion with no supporting data, making growth feel larger and more definitive than the evidence warrants.
