According to reports, SpaceX has already started discussions with financial institutions and banks over the possibility of going public, and the IPO is likely to be held in June or July 2026.
This is and will be marking a significant milestone for Elon Musk’s private rocket empire, as it indicates the company might allow the public to invest in it.
In 2020, Musk indicated that the company’s satellite internet venture, Starlink, would go public when its revenue growth became “smooth and predictable.” After years of global satellite network development and expansion, the long-awaited moment seems to be here. SpaceX fans and investors might finally get the opportunity to own a piece of the space race.
