Elon Musk’s SpaceX has filed plans to go public in what could become the biggest IPO ever. The company aims to raise as much as $75 billion from investors, a move that could further strengthen Musk’s influence in the tech and space industries.
After the IPO, Musk would be the CEO, CTO, and Chairman of the Board, the filing revealed.
US media reports say SpaceX is hoping to raise $75 billion and win a valuation of as much as $1.75 trillion when it begins trading as early as next month.
Understandably, there is a massive retail interest in the IPO. Spacex has a huge contribution toward reshaping the economics of orbital launch. It also folded in AI business xAI in a mostly stock-based deal in February. The company has also partnered with Tesla on a chip-making project called Terafab. The combined story – powerful satellite internet business paired with big AI ambitions – makes this a rare and attractive story for investors.

The filing of the S-1 prospectus — a document companies must submit to the SEC before going public — provides investors a first detailed look at SpaceX’s finances, risks and business plans, marking the first major public financial disclosure in the company’s 24-year history.
