Why Did SpaceX Stock Just Pop?

SpaceX stock surged 4.3% after reports that Elon Musk's company is in talks to buy Boost Mobile or use its network to enter the $235 billion wireless market. After being rejected by AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon, SpaceX is pursuing a 'back door' strategy through Boost Mobile, which itself leases network access from AT&T and T-Mobile. This move follows SpaceX's recent FCC approval for 15,000 direct-to-cell satellites and $8 billion spectrum license acquisition, positioning Starlink as a potential fourth major U.S. mobile carrier.
