is Branson’s recent social media activity actually a sign the Delta build is moving along?

Stock Talk

For ages, Branson went pretty much radio silent on Virgin Galactic while they were stuck in the weeds building the new Delta-class ships. But recently? He’s actually started posting positive stuff about the company again out of nowhere.

​Makes you think right? The guy doesn't usually post unless there's a legitimate reason, and it lines up with the fact that they've actually moved the first Delta ship out of assembly and into the testing facility. For once, it looks like they're actually hitting their timeline targets.

​Don't get me wrong, this isn't me saying the company's financial worries are over, the cash burn is still massive and dilution is always hanging over SPCE But it feels like the engineering side is finally delivering a real milestone, which is why he's running a victory lap.

​Curious what you lot think. Is he just pumping the hype because they desperately need positive sentiment while burning cash, or does this actually signal the build is locked in for late 2026?

He may even buy more stock closer to the time. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens either way
