Well, this is a headline. Chamath Palihapitiya, the "SPAC King," just launched a new $345M SPAC but is telling retail investors to *avoid* it.
Is this a strategic reverse psychology play, or a bold admission about market realities? What's your read on this unusual move?

new Trump crime family crypto SPAC is called "Renatus Tactical Acquisition Corp I" and is registered in the Cayman Islands because "America First".
(by "Trump crime family" I don't mean like, Trump's kids. the people involved here are Devin Nunes (CEO of Truth Social) and some guys from the original DWAC SPAC that gave us #DJT.
also a reminder that #TruthSocial had already announced it would be using its capital to "invest" in #cryptocurrency a few months ago.

Liquidated my Astra (#ASTR) position. Took a 99% loss on that one since the SPAC offering and the latest news is basically that of a clown car.
Haven't put much into it since the SPAC era, and the remaining horse that I'm riding is #RKLB since #VORB went out of business earlier this year.
Still bullish on the space sector and still believe will lead to some great returns in the future, but it's clear that there's a lot of churning in the years ahead.
