Elon Musk has fueled fresh speculation about a potential SpaceX IPO, responding on X to Ars Technica journalist Eric Berger with:
“As usual, Eric is accurate.”
Berger had shared an article outlining why SpaceX may be preparing to go public soon — echoing multiple media reports that the rocket-maker is exploring a 2026 IPO.
🔹 What We Know So Far
- SpaceX is reportedly seeking to raise $25B+ through an IPO.
- Such a listing could push its valuation above $1 trillion.
- That would make it the second-largest IPO in history, behind only Saudi Aramco’s $1.7T offering in 2019.
- Reuters previously reported that SpaceX has begun early discussions with banks, potentially targeting a June–July 2026 launch window.
SpaceX — currently the world’s second most valuable private startup, after OpenAI — has not yet commented publicly on the potential offering.
If confirmed, an IPO of this scale would mark a landmark moment for the space industry, the public markets, and global technology investors.
