SpaceX sets $75 billion IPO target as Musk on track to become first trillionaire

Published Updated



SpaceX is preparing for the largest stock market debut in history, announcing Wednesday that it planned to raise approximately $75 billion in an initial public offering that would value the company at roughly $1.77 trillion.

The space and satellite giant plans to sell 555.6 million shares at an expected price of $135 per share, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If completed as planned, the offering would eclipse the record-setting $26 billion IPO of Saudi Aramco in 2019 and instantly rank among the largest public offerings ever.
