As predicted, the world's largest IPO successfully landed today with SpaceX (SPCX) finishing at $2.105 trillion in value with Elon Musk's share at $884 billion.
Combined with Tesla, Neuralink, The Boring Company, and other investments and assets, he is officially the world's first trillionaire at $1.2 trillion (that the we know about - likely larger).
Founded by Musk in 2002 to revolutionize space transportation, SpaceX initially struggled, narrowly avoiding bankruptcy after three failed launches of its Falcon 1 rocket.
The fourth launch in 2008 succeeded, securing a vital $1.6 billion NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration cargo contract that stabilized the company.
SpaceX went on to disrupt the aerospace industry by developing the Falcon 9 and achieving the world's first orbital-class rocket booster landing in 2015. Reusability slashed launch costs, fueling the rapid deployment of its Starlink satellite constellation.
--> SpaceX acquired xAI (which previously merged with X), consolidating SpaceX's aerospace, AI, and social media empires into a single entity.
Now trading publicly as SPCX, the trillion-dollar company leverages Starlink's massive revenues to fund heavy AI compute costs, including a major data center partnership with Anthropic.
Anthropic agreed to pay SpaceX $1.25 billion per month. Running through May 2029, the total potential value of the contract sits at a massive $40+ billion.
--> Anthropic is going to IPO itself into a potential multi-trillion dollar value in the upcoming days.
This operational dominance and the massive scaling of its Starship program combined with AI leadership ultimately propelled SpaceX to its historic public IPO.
Both Anthropic and OpenAI have hired notable channel chiefs (and teams) to go after the enterprise tech opportunity. Waiting for SpaceX to do the same before year end.
