US EditionSpaceX Filing Shows Musk Will Keep 79% Voting Control After IPO
The filing gives public investors a first look at SpaceX finances while preserving Musk’s control through super-voting shares.
- SpaceX's S-1 IPO filing, made public this month, targets a $1.75 trillion valuation and $75 billion raise while cementing founder Elon Musk's control through a dual-class share structure granting him roughly 79% voting power.
- Musk consolidated the rocket maker with his xAI company earlier this year, shifting the narrative toward 'Orbital AI Data Centers' and Grok integration to justify the record valuation across Starlink, Starship, and AI operations.
- The company swung to a $4.94 billion consolidated loss in 2025 on $18.67 billion revenue as heavy AI infrastructure investments offset $4.42 billion in operating profit from Starlink's satellite internet business.

- SpaceX executives are hosting three days of analyst meetings this week at the Starbase launch facility in Boca Chica, Texas, as the company targets a June listing on the Nasdaq.
