Quick overview

  • SpaceX's valuation has surged to $800 billion ahead of its public offering, significantly boosting Elon Musk's net worth to $677 billion.
  • The company plans to go public in 2026 with an initial valuation target of $1.5 trillion, potentially making Musk a trillionaire.
  • SpaceX is set to use the capital from its public offering to finance ambitious projects, including AI-powered satellites and lunar factories.
  • With a revenue growth rate of 50% per year, SpaceX is on track to become the largest public offering in history.

SpaceX’s value is massively increasing ahead of its public offering.

SpaceX’s valuation ahead of its public offering just shot up from $400 billion to $800 billion, adding to Musk’s net worth and helping him achieve the remarkable milestone of becoming the first person to have more than $600 billion in net worth.

SpaceX should be available for investors to trade in 2026, and the company is aiming for an initial valuation of $1.5 trillion. If that happens, then Musk may reach trillionaire status.

Why SpaceX Is Going Public

In the next year, SpaceX is set to be publicly traded, and that would give Musk and SpaceX significant capital to work with. The company needs those funds to finance new projects like creating AI-powered satellites that can reach escape velocity from the moon without needing to use rockets. The company also has plans to place satellite factories on the moon and develop an electromagnetic railgun. These endeavors would have been thought impossible years ago, but SpaceX may pull them off in the next few years, with enough capital.

SpaceX is responsible for launching more than 160 rockets in 2025, which places it well above all other companies and countries around the world for rocket launches this year. The company’s satellite arm Starlink has placed upwards of 9,000 satellites in space.

Revenue for SpaceX is growing at a rate of about 50% per year, which could easily take it to around $23 billion in earnings by 2026. The company has kept up that pace for years now, and they are well on their way to becoming the largest public offering of all time. For years, SpaceX has been reporting that it is a cash flow positive company, which stands out among other space companies that tend to lose money due to their high development costs. Musk’s company is certainly on track to have an exceptional public offering, and the company’s future projects have potential investors excited.
