Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) urged the Securities and Exchange Commission to delay SpaceX's planned initial public offering, warning that the record-setting listing could expose investors to unusual valuation, governance and index-fund risks.
Warren Presses SEC To Slow IPO Warren wrote to SEC Chair Paul Atkins in a letter her office released Wednesday, saying, "Given the unprecedented threats to investor protection and market integrity posed by the biggest IPO in history, you must delay any eventual acceleration of the registration statement's effectiveness accordingly." The letter urged the SEC to slow the offering, now expected to begin trading on Friday.

"For investors who pick and choose their specific investments, they at least are able to avoid investing in companies that engage in risky or unfair practices," Warren wrote.
