SpaceX IPO paperwork surfaced in public reporting on May 21, 2026, outlining governance terms that would leave Elon Musk with dominant voting control and a long-range business pitch described as potentially the largest IPO in history.

Deal Size, Timing, and Financials

The filing followed a confidential SEC registration in April 2026 and placed SpaceX’s valuation between roughly $1.5 trillion and $2 trillion. The offering could raise about $75 billion to $80 billion. The documents reported 2024 revenue of $18.7 billion and a loss of $4.9 billion. Coverage noted that a valuation at the top end would make Musk a trillionaire.

The IPO timeline is tight, with a roadshow starting June 4, 2026, pricing on June 11, and a listing the next day. This schedule would move the deal from marketing to public trading in about a week if it proceeds as planned.

Governance and Long-Term Strategy

The paperwork proposes a voting structure that could leave Musk with roughly 85% of the voting power, preserving near-total control as SpaceX goes public. The prospectus outlines long-term markets beyond satellite broadband, including lunar and Martian factories, asteroid mining, point-to-point Earth travel, space tourism, and in-orbit manufacturing.

The filing pitches a total addressable market of about $28.5 trillion across artificial intelligence to Mars-related opportunities. It asks investors to accept a high premium on execution and long horizons. Coverage highlighted that many of these futuristic markets are unproven, with uncertain timing and scale, and that some speculative areas were excluded from formal estimates.

In a virtual appearance at the Samson International Smart Mobility Summit in Tel Aviv, Musk said, “We’ve got to get the SpaceX IPO going pretty soon.”
