Musk Likely to Face Tough Questions During SpaceX’s First Earnings Call as a Public Company

Investors will question Elon Musk on Starlink profits, AI spending and a lock-up that could release more than 911 million shares.

  • On Tuesday, SpaceX reports its first-ever quarterly earnings as a public company, giving investors a detailed look at Elon Musk's rocket, satellite, and AI business after a volatile start to trading.
  • SpaceX reported losses of about $4.3 billion in the first quarter after losing roughly $4.9 billion in 2025, as the company ramped up AI spending following its acquisition of Cursor.
  • Capital expenditures reached $10.1 billion in the first quarter with $7.7 billion spent on AI, while investors focus on Starlink revenue streams and progress on the Starship rocket.
  • A lockup on up to 911.5 million shares expires on Thursday, allowing insiders to sell stock and potentially increasing SpaceX's weight in the Nasdaq index.
  • Analysts at Oppenheimer expect a "modest slowdown" in Starlink growth, though Timothy Horan, equity analyst at Oppenheimer, said results are secondary to reading management's outlook on the company's uncertain future.
