Is SpaceX about to break the IPO playbook? And what happens when AI salaries completely reshape relationship dynamics?

On this week's episode of The Liquidity Event, Shane is joined by BKFi Senior Tax Associate Ethan Burroff to break down SpaceX's potential $50 billion IPO and what it means for retail investors, equity holders, and tax planning. They also dig into how massive AI compensation is shifting power dynamics in relationships, why techies are swapping wedding bands for Oura Rings, and what to know before trusting ChatGPT with your tax return.

The episode wraps with a Reddit tax cautionary tale and a reminder that AI still isn't your CPA.

If you work in tech, hold equity, or are navigating a big financial transition, this one's for you.
