SpaceX mulls $1.5tn IPO timed to 'align with Musk's birthday and the planets'

Elon Musk's SpaceX is reportedly considering a $1.5 trillion initial public offering (IPO) that would make it one of the largest tech IPOs in history, valuing the rocket company at nearly 800 billion dollars. According to the Financial Times, the IPO is expected to take place in mid-June, coinciding with a planetary alignment and Musk's upcoming 55th birthday on June 28th.

The planned flotation would see SpaceX raise around $50 billion, valuing it at $1.5 trillion, significantly higher than previous estimates of $25 billion at an $800 billion valuation. The company is expected to use the funds to fuel its growing Starlink satellite internet service and expand its rocket deployment business.

SpaceX's CEO and largest shareholder Musk has reportedly been persuaded by the idea of going public due to his company's rapidly growing valuation and success with Starlink, which has attracted significant attention from investors. Analysts have described the planned IPO as a "monster premium" and a bet on the future of space technology, driven by rapid development prospects.

The US equity capital market is expected to see a surge in listings this year, including potential IPOs from artificial intelligence companies Anthropic and OpenAI. The rebound in US equity markets began in 2025 after three years of limited activity, partly due to volatility and geopolitical tensions.

SpaceX's planned IPO has drawn interest from several major banks, including Bank of America, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley. However, the company's chief financial officer Bret Johnsen has been holding talks with existing private investors since December to explore a mid-2026 IPO.

The planned IPO would significantly boost Musk's fortune, which is currently around $680 billion. The billionaire owns nearly 42% of SpaceX and over 17% of electric carmaker Tesla, where he serves as CEO.
 
OMG 🀯, can you believe it? SpaceX is going to be the biggest IPO in history πŸ’Έ! I mean, $1.5 trillion valuation is just mind-blowing 🀯. I'm not surprised though, Elon's been working hard on Starlink and those satellites are launching like crazy πŸš€. I've got a friend who works for SpaceX and he said it's going to be huge, they're going to make so much money from the IPO πŸ’Έ. I just hope Musk doesn't spend all of it on his other projects πŸ˜‚. Anyway, I'm excited to see how this plays out in mid-June πŸŽ‰. It's going to be interesting to see what happens next...
 
omg can you believe that spacex is gonna be worth like 800billion?! 🀯 i mean, starlink is such a game changer for internet access and it's crazy to think about how much money they're making from it. but isn't this just like when our school raised funds for the new science lab and it was so much pressure on everyone to sell those overpriced t-shirts lol? anyway, i'm curious about how spacex plans to use all that cash... maybe they can even help out some of the rural areas with internet access πŸ€”
 
omg this is like whoa 🀯! SpaceX going public is a huge deal, it's not just about the benjamins πŸ’Έ, it's also about the space tech future πŸš€. I mean, Elon Musk has been talking about making humanity a multi-planetary species for ages, and now he's got the funds to make it happen πŸ€”. The $1.5 trillion valuation is insane πŸ’₯, but if they can deliver on their promises with Starlink and rocket deployments, it could be huge πŸš€.

I'm also curious about how this will impact the space industry as a whole 🀝. Will we see more companies going public and investing in space tech? It's exciting to think about the possibilities 🌠. And for Elon Musk, well, he's already set πŸ’Έ. A $1.5 trillion IPO is like adding a few zeros to his existing fortune πŸ”₯.
 
I'm super stoked about this! πŸš€ A $1.5 trillion IPO for SpaceX would be a massive step forward for the space tech industry. I mean, can you think of anything cooler than private investors pouring money into making humanity a multi-planetary species? 🀯 It's like the ultimate 'go big or go home' moment for Musk and his team. Plus, with that kind of funding, they'll be able to take Starlink to even more people around the world, which is going to change lives! πŸ’» And let's not forget about the potential boost to the US economy - it's like a shot in the arm for all the good vibes we need right now 🌈. I'm all about celebrating innovation and progress, and this IPO is definitely one of those moments where you can't help but feel optimistic about the future! πŸ’–
 
OMG, can you even believe this? 🀯 A $1.5 trillion IPO for SpaceX?! That's like, crazy! I'm hyped for Elon Musk, the guy is a genius 😎. And to think it's happening in mid-June, just before his birthday, that's like, universe alignment vibes ✨. The fact that Starlink is killing it and people are invested in space tech again is so cool πŸš€. It's gonna be a wild ride for everyone involved, especially Elon's wallet πŸ’Έ. And the timing couldn't be better, I mean, we're finally out of that three-year slump, all thanks to the rebound 😊. Bring on the IPOs from other AI companies too, I'm excited to see what else 2025 has in store πŸ€”!
 
I think this is gonna be crazy! $1.5 trillion is just insane πŸ’ΈπŸ’₯. I mean, Elon's been working so hard to get Starlink off the ground and make it a thing πŸš€. It's gonna be interesting to see how this all plays out. Will they actually hit that valuation? Is Musk ready for all the scrutiny that comes with being a public company? I'm not sure, but one thing's for sure, this is gonna be wild ride πŸŽ’πŸ‘€.
 
Wow πŸš€πŸ’Έ SpaceX going public is a big deal! I mean, who wouldn't want to invest in space tech? It's like the future is now, right? 🌠 And Elon Musk is just getting started with his birthday coming up and all... that's some interesting timing. I wonder if he'll use those funds for something crazy like colonizing Mars or just keep it on Earth? πŸ’Έ Anyway, it's gonna be a wild ride in the space industry this year!
 
I gotta say, if SpaceX goes through with this IPO, it's gonna be crazy! 🀯 A $1.5 trillion valuation? That's just mind-boggling. I mean, Starlink is definitely a game-changer, but 800 billion dollars feels like way too much to me. Is the tech industry really that far ahead of everyone else already?

And what's with the planetary alignment thing? Like, does it really matter when we're going public? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ Can't the banks and investors just focus on making some real money instead of trying to make a magical connection to the stars?

I do think Musk is smart for exploring his options, but I'm not sure if this IPO is gonna be the best move for him. The tech market can get pretty wild, and there's always something that could go wrong. Still, I guess it's good for us investors to see some big players taking risks – maybe we'll all come out ahead in the end? πŸ€‘
 
omg this is insane 🀯 like who needs that kinda cash?! SpaceX is already doing some cool stuff with Starlink and rocket tech. do we really need a $1.5 trillion valuation? seems over the top for me πŸ’Έ also wonder what's in it for investors, is it just gonna be a gamble on space tech growth? πŸ€”
 
OMG u guys!! πŸš€πŸ€‘ Elon Musks spacex is like literally going public!!! πŸ’Έ They're thinking of doing a 1.5 trillion IPO which would make it one of the largest tech listings eva 😲! The funds will supposedly go towards starlink and rocket deployments, cuz thats whats movin the company rn πŸš€πŸ’»

idk if its a good move or not tho...like analysts r callin it a "monster premium" lol what does that even mean πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ? sounds like they're bettin on space tech takin over the world 🌎. Musk has been doin so well with starlink, so maybe he's just tryna cash out his 680 billion fortune πŸ’ΈπŸ‘€

anywayz, this IPO is def gonna be a thing in mid-june πŸ‘ and it'll be cool to see how it all plays out πŸ€”. will keep an eye on it, lol. πŸš€πŸ’•
 
I'm so stoked about this! πŸš€ A $1.5 trillion IPO for SpaceX? That's insane! πŸ’Έ I mean, the thought of Elon Musk's net worth going up to like, a trillion dollars or something? It's crazy! 😲 I've been following Starlink's progress and it's amazing how quickly they're growing their satellite internet service. If this IPO goes through, I'm sure we'll see even more innovative projects from SpaceX. πŸš€ The fact that they're going public at 55 is pretty cool too - who says you can't reach new heights (pun intended) in your 50s? πŸ˜‚ The market's been recovering nicely after three years of slow growth, so this IPO timing couldn't be better. I'm rooting for SpaceX to make a splash with their IPO! πŸ’ͺ
 
I'm kinda curious about how this whole thing is gonna go down... SpaceX has been making some huge strides with Starlink, but I wonder if the IPO's gonna be a hype or something that actually makes sense πŸ€”πŸ’Έ They're already getting a lot of interest from big banks, which is good, but 1.5 trillion dollars seems like a pretty wild valuation to me... like, what exactly are they planning on doing with all that cash? πŸš€πŸ‘€
 
πŸ€” I'm kinda skeptical about this huge IPO plan for SpaceX... I mean, don't get me wrong, the company has made some amazing strides with Starlink, but $1.5 trillion is a pretty lofty valuation πŸ€‘. The market's been volatile lately and investing in space tech can be super risky πŸ’₯. Plus, there's always the chance that investors might lose faith or the company might stumble on something major 🚨. That being said, it's hard to deny the potential for SpaceX to change the game and revolutionize the way we access the internet from space 🌠. If they can execute this IPO smoothly and show solid growth prospects, it could be a game-changer for the space tech industry πŸ’ͺ. But for now, I'll reserve my enthusiasm and wait for some actual numbers before getting too excited 😏
 
πŸš€πŸ’Έ OMG, can you believe it? Elon Musk's SpaceX is thinking of going public for like a trillion dollars 🀯! It's crazy to think about how much money they're looking at, and I'm not even mad about it lol. The planned IPO would definitely be one for the books.

I think it's awesome that they're doing well with Starlink, and now they get to take advantage of all that funding πŸ’Έ. SpaceX has been working so hard to make their space tech dreams a reality, and it's amazing to see the results.

Also, I'm intrigued by all these other companies like Anthropic and OpenAI that are getting ready to go public too πŸ€–. The US equity markets seem to be on the rise, which is awesome for all the startups out there.

But, you know, with great power comes great responsibility πŸ’ͺ. With a valuation of $800 billion, SpaceX has got some big shoes to fill. Fingers crossed they use that money wisely and keep pushing the boundaries of space tech πŸš€!
 
πŸ€” I think this whole thing is a bit crazy, you know? Like, we're talking about some rich dude wanting to give his company away for like, 800 billion dollars! πŸ€‘ And it's all based on the idea that space tech is gonna be huge in the future. But what if it doesn't work out? What if they end up losing money and having to file for bankruptcy? That'd be a total bummer for everyone involved.

And have you ever stopped to think about what this says about our society? Like, we're so focused on making money and growing our wealth that we forget about the impact it has on people's lives. I mean, Elon Musk is basically a billionaire now and he still makes these huge decisions based on his own success and profit margins.

I guess what I'm saying is that this whole thing is a great reminder to be careful with your priorities in life. Is making a ton of money really worth it if it means you're not living in alignment with your values? 🀝
 
πŸš€πŸ’Έ I'm low-key hyped about this potential SpaceX IPO, but also kinda worried? Like, the company's already making waves with Starlink, but do they really need that kinda cash influx to make it happen? πŸ’° I mean, $50 billion is a huge chunk of change, and if they're gonna use it all for just expanding their rocket deployment business... idk πŸ€”. And what about the market conditions? The US equity markets are already on fire this year, so can SpaceX really navigate that without getting caught in the hype? 🚫 Not sure, but I'm definitely keeping an eye on this one πŸ‘€
