SpaceX's Record-Breaking IPO: Musk's Vision Rockets to Wall Street

Elon Musk's SpaceX has secretly filed for a U.S. initial public offering, according to a Reuters source, preparing for what could become the largest stock market listing ever.

A potential valuation over $1.75 trillion would show space exploration's shift from speculative to mainstream investment. SpaceX's growth leverages reusable rockets and the Starlink satellite network. The recent merger with Musk's AI startup, xAI, valued SpaceX at $1 trillion and the Grok chatbot at $250 billion.

The IPO could raise over $50 billion, surpassing Saudi Aramco's 2019 record-breaking IPO. Investors' strong demand, fueled by Musk's brand and SpaceX's potential, might revitalize the IPO market. A potentially dual-class share structure would let Musk retain control while tapping public capital.
