"This Will Sound Super Crazy": Elon Musk Makes Wild Prediction About What SpaceX Could Be Worth
Musk said the rocket company could be worth orders of magnitude more than the current Earth economy, but gave no valuation target or timetable.
- On Thursday, SpaceX founder Elon Musk posted on X that he sees a path for the company to be worth "orders of magnitude more than the current Earth economy."
- Musk previously floated this idea to SpaceX investors in July, when reports described the goal as a "startling claim" linked to plans to "Harvest the Sun."
- SpaceX shares traded at $162.22 on Thursday, down 3.21% for the session, though the stock has risen 9.65% over the past month and 7.53% over the past week.
- The post did not include a specific valuation, financial breakdown, or timetable to support the prediction, leaving the scale of the ambition unclear to investors.
- Achieving such scale depends on technical progress and operating costs for systems like Starship, and financial experts note that company valuations and global GDP are not directly comparable.
