SpaceX, led by Elon Musk, plans to raise up to $75 billion in its upcoming public stock offering, potentially making it the largest in history. The company will sell 555.6 million shares at $135 each, giving it a market value of $1.77 trillion. This move could make Musk the world’s first trillionaire, as he holds significant voting power in SpaceX through his ownership of Class B shares. Despite its ambitious plans, including establishing a human colony on Mars, SpaceX is currently losing billions annually. The company sees artificial intelligence as a key revenue source, potentially generating up to $26.5 trillion. Musk also envisions merging SpaceX with Tesla, his electric vehicle company, to further these goals.
