SpaceX IPO priced at $135 per share, values company at $1.77 trillion

financeJun 12, 20261618,357

SpaceX set its IPO price at $135 per share, raising about $75 billion and valuing the company near $1.77 trillion. The company's IPO filing spotlights Starship ambitions and new AI initiatives even as SpaceX remains unprofitable, and regulators eased investor-protection and index-listing rules to fast-track the deal. Morningstar values SpaceX at $63 per share, yet early trading interest pushed indications to roughly $165 to $174, making Elon Musk a trillionaire and shifting massive public capital into SpaceX's long-term bets.

The SpaceX IPO made Musk a trillionaire. The old rules of capitalism no longer apply. The economic principles taught in school aren’t as relevant as hype, connections and total, arbitrary control. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/jun/12/spacex-ipo-elon-musk-trillionaire

This isn’t capitalism Its neo-feudalism Equality is utterly irrelevant Fiefdom power and authority overrides democratic legitimacy and accountability And humanity is in the way of more wealth, more power. Its diabolical. And doomed. Time for the revolution #musk #money

Why does SpaceX take government handouts?

NotThatMikey9

Between the 401k investors who do not respond to any news on the market and the "to the moon" stonk crowd, these conmen have a perfect formula to claim a company running at a loss is worth 3 trillion dollars and people actually buy into it. Nothing short of total system collapse will stabalize it.

It is an example of the abject failure of our government.

Musk became a trillionaire on the backs of the American taxpayers. cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/06/ther...

It’s a lot of money for a guy that incites race riots and ‘throws his heart to the crowd’ like he’s at Nuremberg.

paulalj.bsky.social4

I guess we all know now what Nazi Elon got paid for that whole doge fiasco. The real reason he didn’t care about Tesla. Peter Thiel and Elon musk are the two most dangerous immigrants in the USA.

Now Musk has trillions to spend on buying politicians and countries.

We really need to do more than just cry about taxing the rich.

The biggest piece of human garbage walking the face of this dying planet gets rewarded by the stupid plebs for using, abusing and dismantling the very democratic system that made this psychopath possible in the first place.

Wachkussen.bsky.social3

It aint over till the fat lady sings. The smart people ought to be selling, soon.

Yarmon3

This is a play of epic proportions. A collection of questionable untested technology futures with musk holding 85% of the voting rights. The post ipo slide will be jangling lots of investor nerves.

L. J. Valente a.k.a. Thomas Katt2

I know while the news is how much he made but has anyone else read the financials of spacex...this is the golden example of a bubble waiting to pop...crypto has greater realistic value

TRay2

There were barely any rules before.

Miss Kitty 🌈🌈🌈2

Game on! We're going to decentralize their ass. LOL

Leftie Squared2

Some indices r even changing their rules 2 allow SpaceX 2b included n days-weeks n lieu of normal several yrs of proven performance. This means almost everyone with a 401K\IRA will be forced to participate in this madness. Rule changes to benefit the rich & keep the peasant class, well, peasants.

Steve Cobb a.k.a. Kunga Tsöndru2

Remember when all the brokerages turned themselves into 🏦🏦 in '08 so they could suck at the teat of government at zero percent interest & Jamie Dimon took $39 billion of your 💰 & should be in prison? The DoGE chode Leon is just the latest grifter in a long line of failed hacks with abhorrent values.

"Elon Musk’s $1.77 Trillion SpaceX IPO: What You Absolutely Need to Know" The world’s richest man will soon be a trillionaire thanks to changes made by Trump regulators and financial markets. You might end up holding the bag.

Funny how every time regular people get a tax break it’s called irresponsible. Every time a billionaire gets one it’s called innovation and economic growth.

I know all I need to know about Elon

All that money And still an complete asshole

StephenB10

Just a reminder: If one dollar buys you one second… $1 million buys 11 days $1 billion buys 32 years $1 trillion buys 32,000 years Nobody needs a billion, let alone a… oh, for fucks sake. Musk needs to be fired in a rocket to Mars.

Jan Dehn8

Why do I have the sneaking suspicion that the SpaceX IPO will be the greatest corruption episode of all time? Something fishy going on here....transfers to GOP....the sudden Iran thaw to push stocks higher.....

KnowTheTruth7

Musk is already being paid $8M per day by the US Treasury. Trump is aiding Musk to do the greatest heist ever.

Kevin Sweeney aka audiomagnate5

A Ponzi scheme of galactic proportions has made a South African Nazi Earth's first trillionaire.

Kat K 🐾🐾3

I’m sick of this disgusting spoiled man child getting govt funds and special IPOs. We need to find a way to shut down SpaceX and deport this freak.

Catgate3

The American people are paying for all of this-why, when this cretin is already a multibillionaire? And ordinary, everyday Americans still worship him? 🤬🤦🏻‍♀️

🎙️ 𝐌𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐲 🎙️3

He would’ve been a trillionaire regardless. The country must pass a constitutional amendment making it impossible for individuals (no loop holes!) to be worth more than let’s say 750 million or so.

All I need to know is that he's a complete f'kin nazi POS.

Terry Dale3

No one person on earth should have access to that much money. We are seeing the problems when a free market are taken advantage of and the rich can control the taxes and rules that allow them to build such huge wealth while everyone else suffers. TAX THE RICH (their fair % based on wealth)

thegongster.bsky.social3

I hate this fucking fuckhead. The only thing this IPO does is spur the Dump family and the 🍊💩in the White House to aspire to also be trillionaires by stealing from the rest of us.

James3

Former NASDAQ chairman Bernie Madoff’s Ponzi scheme is widely considered the largest financial swindle in history, defrauding thousands of investors out of an estimated $64.8 billion over four decades. With the help of the deregulation, Elon is gonna beat that record & this time Everyone's Invited!

He convinced Congress to Occupy Mars and doesn't want to travel there????!!?!?!!

Elon Musk has more $$ than he'll ever need .. but no respect and that's something he can't buy #EatTheRich

Morningstar out with a $63/share price target for SpaceX, a 53% discount from its IPO global.morningstar.com/en-gb/stocks...

With a market that prices TSLA at $400 because corruption is legal, unclear why anyone would bet against SpaceX.

Howardoark - pronounced Howar-doark55

we assume that by 2035, SpaceX will be able to launch 340 Starship missions (nearly one a day), and that the reusability rate of the rockets on these missions reaches 85%, extending cost and time savings beyond the reuse of the boosters to the upper stage spacecraft. That’s quite an assumption

Potato Cat28

Even their worst case scenario still assumes starship somehow defies physics and succeeds, they don't actually have a scenario mapped here for the most likely reality where it NEVER works out and they have to cut bait and refocus on falcon, aka, the one that actually works, and being a lift provider

Warren Terra15

But surely that's wrong? Either the bubble stays inflated or it pops, but how does it gently sag?

Cedichou14

Even overvalued at this target price. Half of current price is still grok generating $13T of revenues or half of GDP

Rich Warner8

It’s still overpriced at $63 / share. Musk is an expert in selling horseshit for gold prices.

Matt Gorecki7

What’s the discount for having an owner and CEO who is legitimately bad at everything.

RI Smith6

Still seems incredibly high for a company with the worst performing AI model and few long term prospects superglued to a space company with negligible growth potential

Michael Corthell3

What happens when billionaires call cruelty “efficiency”? The Trillion-Dollar Paper Shredder takes aim at Elon Musk, DOGE, and the brutal arithmetic of cutting mercy while worshiping wealth, power, and technological spectacle. essayx.substack.com/p/the-trilli...

Onedimental2

Even that seems vastly and ludicrously overpriced.

Elon Musk SpaceX IPO launches today, it is expected to lose 80-90% of its 'worth' in the first 3 months. If you buy you are going to lose so much money so quickly.

We want the kind of people who love him to buy so they can lose wealth.

Beth Nixon9

Good, hope it goes fucking bankrupt.

Margaret Baker8

I wish I could tell the index funds in my retirement accounts not to buy Space X but that’s not an option. We’ll all sink together as the muskrat floats on top.

Mike D London8

I think Starlink is the only real generator of profits - and that has limited growth potential as it's very expensive for customers. Those that have a choice will go elsewhere for their internet access. Most of those who don't have a choice can't afford Starlink.

andrewsawyou.bsky.social6

Isn't it odd that the media isn't mentioning it's worth from 11 months ago when it was valued at $400 billion and that it still hasn't made a profit yet?

Dub⚕️6

Oh sweet baby jeebus I hope that is what happens. I would LOVE to see a bunch of tech bros lose their shirts investing in Captain Smoothbrain’s Space Grift.

I watched a woman on a flight earlier this week emailing an advisor for shares while we were on final approach. She was so consumed, not paying attention as we started to deplane, and was grazed in the head by a backpack. I smirked under my mask while she acted offended but didn’t say anything. 😏

It’s going to crash, just like the rockets 🤪

Going to include a whole bunch of folks 401k money. Index based ETFs are required to buy. Do you know what funds your money is invested in?
