The Supplier Play on SpaceX
SpaceX is the dominant force in launch, but ordinary investors could not buy it for most of its life. The workaround, and the heart of the Kiyosaki campaign’s “Fuel the Race” report, is to own the companies that supply SpaceX and every other rocket maker with the things they cannot launch without.
The clearest example is propellant. Every rocket runs on cryogenic fuels, liquid oxygen, liquid hydrogen, and helium, and those come from a handful of industrial gas giants. Linde and Air Products are the two names StockGumshoe’s research points to, with Linde holding the tighter commercial relationship with SpaceX and Air Products carrying the deeper NASA legacy.
The Honest Caveat
The supplier thesis sounds airtight: whoever launches, the fuel company gets paid. The problem is scale. SpaceX and the rest of the launch industry are still a rounding error for companies the size of Linde, a roughly $220 billion enterprise with more than $35 billion in annual revenue. A Starship launch might earn Linde something like $5 million, and Starship has not even begun commercial flights.
That means “SpaceX supplier stock” is a legitimate category but a weak investment thesis on its own. We made this point in our Linde stock breakdown and our Air Products piece. These are good companies; they are just not space bets.
The Better Supplier Play
The more meaningful supplier angle in the space economy is a small company where space or a single large customer is a big share of revenue. Those names are harder to find and riskier, which is exactly why the Kiyosaki campaign defaults to the big, safe gas suppliers and a diversified ETF instead.
