SpaceX is weighing a $1.5 trillion initial public offering scheduled for mid‑June, timed to coincide with a planetary alignment and Elon Musk’s 55th birthday. The rocket company would seek to raise $50 billion, a higher target than the $25 billion it previously considered, and would be valued at about $1.5 trillion. Chief financial officer Bret Johnsen has held talks with existing private investors since December to explore a mid‑2026 IPO. Musk, who owns roughly 42 % of SpaceX, has said the company’s revenue is $15.5 billion, with $1.1 billion from NASA contracts, and notes that the success of Starlink and growing valuation have spurred interest in a flotation. The flotation, if it goes ahead, would raise more in a single event than the 2019 Saudi Aramco IPO, which drew $29 billion. Analysts have called the $1.5 trillion price a “monster premium” that reflects a tech and AI premium, Musk’s personal brand and a frothy market. The move would place SpaceX among a wave of high‑profile US listings, joining AI firms such as Anthropic and OpenAI that are also eyeing the market. No official comment has yet been released from SpaceX.
