SpaceX IPO | Rockets, AI losses and Elon Musk in control
SpaceX is preparing for an IPO that invites investors to support Elon Musk's ambitious plans for AI data centers in space and human colonization of Mars. Despite a high valuation of nearly $1.8 trillion, the company is currently facing significant financial losses. Musk's control over the company is reinforced by a dual-class share structure, limiting the voting power of ordinary investors.
- ▪SpaceX is currently losing billions of dollars a year despite a revenue of $18.7 billion in 2025.
- ▪The IPO will allow ordinary investors to purchase Class A shares, which carry one vote each, while Musk holds Class B shares with ten votes each.
- ▪Only 4% of SpaceX's shares will be available for purchase, creating a limited supply that could drive up stock prices.
