Elon Musk Just Dealt Some Massive News at SpaceX's Roadshow

The offering could mint about 4,000 new millionaires and lift Elon Musk toward trillionaire status as SpaceX seeks $74.4 billion in proceeds.

  • On Friday, SpaceX will launch its initial public offering under ticker SPCX at a $1.77 trillion valuation, making it the largest IPO in history and potentially turning founder Elon Musk into the world's first-ever trillionaire.
  • SpaceX achieved this valuation by folding xAI and Starlink into the company in February, inflating its value to more than 90 times its 2025 revenue, far exceeding Morningstar's estimate of about $780 billion.
  • Nasdaq implemented a new rule allowing mega-offerings like SpaceX to list in just 15 days, rather than the traditional one-year seasoning period, with OpenAI and Anthropic expected to follow this accelerated timeline.
  • Donald Trump Jr. holds SpaceX shares through his venture firm, 1789 Capital, which has grown to $3.5 billion in value since his father returned to the White House; he describes the firm as "patriotic capitalism."
  • Peter Thiel's Founders Fund owns a stake worth more than $60 billion, while partner Luke Nosek holds roughly $2.5 billion in SpaceX stock and Gigafund has poured some $1 billion into the company's ventures.
