SpaceX, Elon Musk's aerospace company, is poised for a historic initial public offering (IPO) in June 2026, with a projected valuation reaching approximately $1.77 trillion. This anticipated share sale is expected to be the largest in history, aiming to raise around $75 billion by offering shares at $135 each.
The massive valuation from the IPO, combined with Musk's substantial ownership stake in SpaceX and his other assets like Tesla, is widely predicted to elevate his personal net worth beyond $1 trillion. This achievement would mark him as the world's first verified trillionaire.
While investor demand for the offering is high, some analysts express concerns that SpaceX's valuation may be overly optimistic, particularly given the company reported a net loss of $4.9 billion in 2025.
