This is purely speculation, but here's the thesis I've been thinking about. SpaceX is expected to have significant liquidity from its upcoming IPO process. June 12 stands out as a potential announcement date after IPO-related activities are completed. Jack in the Box's current valuation is relatively small compared to the scale of capital SpaceX could potentially access. Rather than simply partnering with Jack in the Box, I think SpaceX could pursue a full acquisition and use the brand as a consumer-facing food division. Space missions require specialized food solutions, and Jack in the Box already has food production, supply chain, and branding infrastructure. My theory is that SpaceX is intentionally waiting until June 12 to announce that Jack in the Box will become its official space food supplier, potentially as part of a larger acquisition funded by IPO proceeds. Do I have hard evidence? No. This is a speculative investment thesis based on timing, capital availability, and what I see as strategic fit between the companies.

The workers said there's nothing wrong with the donut and it will be back when the advertisement is done. Definitely a disappointment on my vacation. Even worse is there's a billboard across the street they could have used.
