SpaceX is reportedly mulling an initial public offering, eyeing what would be the largest valuation at the time of availability of all time, a new report from\u00a0<\/a>Bloom<\/a>berg<\/a>\u00a0said on Tuesday.\n<\/p>\n

It is one of many reports involving one of Elon Musk\u2019s companies and a massive market move, as this is not the first time we have seen reports of an IPO by SpaceX. Musk himself has also dispelled other reports in the past of a similar nature, including an xAI funding round.\n<\/p>\n

SpaceX and Musk have yet to comment on the report. In the past, untrue reports were promptly replied to by the CEO; this has not yet gained any response, which is a good sign in terms of credibility.\n<\/p>\n

However, he said just a few days ago that stories of this nature are inaccurate:\n<\/p>\n

\u201cThere has been a lot of press claiming SpaceX is raising money at $800B, which is not accurate. SpaceX has been cash flow positive for many years and does periodic stock buybacks twice a year to provide liquidity for employees and investors. Valuation increments are a function of progress with Starship and Starlink and securing global direct-to-cell spectrum that greatly increases our addressable market. And one other thing that is arguably most significant by far.\u201d<\/p>\n

Musk has discussed a potential IPO for SpaceX in recent months, as the November 6 shareholder meeting, as he commented on the \u201cdownsides\u201d of having a public company, like litigation exposure, quarterly reporting pressures, and other inconveniences.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, Musk has also said<\/a> he wants there to be a way for Tesla shareholders to get in on the action. At the meeting in early November, he said:\n<\/p>\n

\u201cI do want to try to figure out some way for Tesla shareholders to participate in SpaceX. I\u2019ve been giving a lot of thought to how to give people access to SpaceX stock.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

Additionally, he added:\n<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe at some point., SpaceX should become a public company despite all the downsides of being public.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

Musk has been historically reluctant to take SpaceX public, at times stating it could become a barrier to colonizing Mars. That does not mean it will not happen.<\/p>\n

Bloomber<\/a>g\u2019s report<\/a> cites multiple unidentified sources who are familiar with the matter. They indicate to the publication that SpaceX wants to go public in mid-to-late 2026, and it wants to raise $30 billion at a valuation of around $1.5 trillion.\n<\/p>\n

This is not the first time SpaceX has discussed an IPO; we reported on it nine years ago<\/a>. We hope it is true, as the community has spoken for a long time about having access to SpaceX stock. Legendary investor Ron Baron is one of the lucky few to be a SpaceX investor, and said it, along with Tesla, is a \u201clifetime investment.\u201d<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

The primary driver of SpaceX\u2019s value is Starlink, the company\u2019s satellite internet service. Starlink contributes 60-70 percent of SpaceX\u2019s revenue, meaning it is the primary value engine. Launch services, like Falcon 9 contracts, and the development of Starship, also play supporting roles.\n<\/p>\n
