Elon Musk’s technology company is seeking private investors and aims to raise up to $50 billion.
Elon Musk’s aerospace manufacturer SpaceX is weighing an initial public offering (IPO) as early as mid-June, with the goal of raising up to $50 billion at a valuation of approximately $1.5 trillion, according to the Financial Times.
Its chief financial officer, Bret Johnsen, has also been holding discussions with existing private investors since mid-December to explore a potential public listing by mid-2026. Along those lines, Reuters reported last week that SpaceX is lining up four Wall Street banks to serve as lead underwriters for its market debut.
The largest IPO in history
Following Saudi Aramco’s $29 billion IPO in 2019, SpaceX would surpass that benchmark by a wide margin, making it the largest public offering ever.
The news comes amid rapid growth in the space economy. In 2024, the sector reached a record $613 billion, driven by the expansion of commercial activities, which accounted for nearly 78% of the total. In 2025, private investment in space technology jumped 48% to $12.4 billion, including $3.8 billion in the fourth quarter alone.
Federal Reserve Meeting
Unlike on other occasions, this Wednesday’s Federal Reserve (Fed) meeting will not hinge on the monetary policy decision itself, which is expected to be made by the central bank’s rate-setting committee, but rather on what Chair Jerome Powell says during the press conference that follows. Powell’s term expires in May, leaving him with three meetings remaining before stepping down.
While this would normally be a routine situation, it has gained increasing prominence since Donald Trump’s return to the White House, particularly because it remains unclear who the president will nominate to replace Powell. The Republican leader repeatedly criticized Powell for months over his reluctance to cut interest rates more aggressively and even launched a judicial investigation into him over alleged misuse of funds.
