SpaceX’s massive IPO: all the latest news

SpaceX went public in an IPO that lets investors buy shares of the combined rocket, AI, and social media company for the first time, with the raise large enough to put Elon Musk on track to become the first trillionaire on paper. The listing matters because its valuation is tied in part to plans for launching AI datacenters into space, a speculative bet big enough that the excerpt says only 20 countries have economies larger than $1.1 trillion.

SpaceX’s IPO on Friday allows the public to buy shares of the combined rocket, AI, and social media company for the first time, and is raising enough money to likely make Elon Musk the first trillionaire.  He’ll have more wealth, on paper at least, than the economies of nations like Ireland, Sweden, or his home country of South Africa ( CNN cites the International Monetary Fund saying only 20 countries have economies larger than $1.1 trillion), now largely based on the promise of a business based on launching AI datacenters into space.
