SpaceX is shooting for the stars: a record-breaking $135 per share initial public offering that would value the company at $1.77 trillion.
This is about seven-and-a-half times Alibaba’s inflation-adjusted valuation in 2014, which held the record before, and 15 times Facebook’s IPO, blowing modern service giants Uber and Airbnb out of the water entirely.
SpaceX already made history by raising $75 billion on Thursday, and pulling off its anticipated IPO will make thousands of SpaceX employees millionaires and could push up Elon Musk’s net worth high enough to make him a trillionaire.
