Elon Musk’s SpaceX is set to make history with its initial public offering (IPO), which could make Musk the world’s first trillionaire. The company, known for its innovative technology and ambitious goals, is expected to raise $75 billion in the largest IPO ever.

SpaceX’s Ambitious Plans

SpaceX has promised to establish a one-million person Martian colony, launch data centers into orbit, and outdo rivals in the race to make money from artificial intelligence. To reach its goals, the company needs billions more than it currently takes in from its rocket and satellite business.

Despite losing $8.7 billion between 2025 and March 2026, big institutional buyers and smaller-pocketed investors alike have indicated they are willing to take a chance on SpaceX. The company’s valuation will come down mainly to one thing: Musk.

Musk’s Track Record

Musk has a history of creating successful companies, including Zip2 and PayPal, which netted him about $200 million at sale. He used that money to start SpaceX and invest in Tesla, and has since become one of the richest people in the world.

However, not all investors are thrilled about SpaceX’s IPO. Officials from pension funds for firefighters, teachers, and other workers in California and New York have sent a letter to SpaceX decrying some of the provisions in its IPO, including the “super voting shares” and mandatory arbitration of shareholder claims.
