Elon Musk to become the world’s first trillionaire

SpaceX plans to raise up to $75 billion in its public debut, a move that could lift Elon Musk’s net worth above $1 trillion, analysts said.

  • Space Exploration Technologies Corp. plans to list on the Nasdaq under the symbol SPCX, pricing its upcoming IPO at $135 a share for a valuation of about $1.77 trillion. The offering, expected next week, aims to raise up to $75 billion.
  • SpaceX CEO Elon Musk holds a stake in the rocket maker worth $866.5 billion on paper, positioning him to become the world's first trillionaire. Following the offering, Musk will maintain 82.4% voting control of the company.
  • The IPO prospectus details ambitious goals including colonizing Mars with at least 1 million inhabitants, while citing potential AI revenue of up to $26.5 trillion. Compensation milestones link Musk's rewards to achieving a $7.5 trillion market cap.
  • This listing serves as a major test for public markets after years of muted activity. IDC analyst Arnal Dayaratna noted SpaceX's chatbot Grok is "less impressive than anything that we see from any other major player."
  • Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives expects Tesla and SpaceX to merge next year. Musk faces a 366-day lock-up period before he can reduce his ownership interest in the company.
