SpaceX Sets Public Share Price Ahead of IPO
SpaceX has announced that its shares will be offered to the public at a minimum price of $135 (£100) when it becomes a publicly traded company this Friday. This offering is anticipated to be the highest-value stock listing in history.
The proposed share price matches the valuation set by the space exploration and artificial intelligence (AI) company a week prior, elevating SpaceX's total valuation to nearly $1.8 trillion.
IPO Aims and Potential Impact
SpaceX aims to raise $75 billion through its initial public offering (IPO). If the shares sell at or above the suggested price, depending on market supply and demand, Elon Musk, the company's founder and chief executive, who is already the richest individual globally, will become the world's first trillionaire.
