SpaceX Goes Public Valued at $1.77 Trillion
About this episode
SpaceX's record-breaking IPO has propelled its valuation to $1.77 trillion, making it one of the world's top companies and elevating Elon Musk to trillionaire status.
SpaceX just went public in a record-breaking IPO that sent its valuation soaring to $1.77 trillion, making it one of the world’s top ten companies and catapulting Elon Musk into trillionaire status. The offering sold over 550 million shares at $135 each, raising $75 billion—with an option to sell another $8.6 billion. Despite skepticism over Musk’s control and potential overvaluation, demand exploded, with retail investors alone ordering over $100 billion worth of stock. The cash infusion fuels bold ambitions: Starship rockets for lunar missions and Mars colonization, expanded Starlink internet, orbital AI data centers, and a new Texas semiconductor plant. Musk’s xAI is now integrated into SpaceX, betting big on AI leadership—even if Grok’s current performance lags behind. The future, they say, is definitely in orbit.
