SpaceX IPO
US based billionaire Elon Musk has filled an IPO of his rocket and satellite manufacturing company SpaceX. He has filled confidentially on Wednesday, 1st April 2026 for an initial public offering. The internal sources suggest that the IPO will set the stage for what could be one of the largest offerings ever.
The rocket manufacturing giant SpaceX values itself at more than $1 trillion and is likely to be the one of the valuable companies to reach the stock market, after Saudi Aramco owned by Royal family of KSA which debut on stock exchange in 2019 at valuation of $1.7 trillion. The oil giant raised more than $29 billion from its IPO.
The SpaceX listing could start a fresh wave of enormous IPOs with AI companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic which is also gearing up to list upon stock exchange. The experts believe that the SpaceX listing would be a generational moneymaking event for Wall Street traders, the company’s workforce, and of course Elon Musk, who could become the first trillionaire after the launch of IPO.
Elon Musk founded SpaceX in 2002 with the goal of sending people to Mars, and the company turned into the world’s leading space companies. Since 2002 Musk said that the ultimate mission of the company is to make humans a multiplanetary species, ensuring that life would thrive if something happened to Earth.
The company has launched several rockers into space and established a popular satellite internet service, Starlink. The customers of the company consist of the federal government, the Ukrainian military and many others.
According to Georgetown University’s center for Security and Emerging Technology, the company launches 5 out of every 6 rockets in space in the US.
In February 2026, Elon Musk merged the SpaceX with AI company, xAI after with SpaceX consists of Starship, which is a self-landing rocket meant for Mars, Grok, xAI’s chatbot, and popular microbloging platform X (formerly known as Twitter).
The media reports and experts suggest that the company will use the money raised from the IPO into long-term goals of launching AI data centers into orbit, creating a colony on the moon, and sending humans into Mars.
As per a source, the company may also use the money to fund xAI and its working capital as well as to buy up and expunge billions of dollars in debt that Twitter (now X) borrowed when Musk bought the social media platform back in 2022.
Confidential filing means that the financials of the company are not disclosed until later. In June 2025, Musk posted on social media that he expected SpaceX’s revenue to reach $15.5 billion in 2025, with about $1.1 billion of that coming from NASA. Total revenue would be up from $7.4 billion in 2023, as per documents satellite internet service provider Starlink alone generated $8 billion in terms of sales in 2024.
