Elon Musk stated his goal is to reach a $10 trillion net worth. In today's dollars, $10 trillion would exceed the combined GDP of India, Brazil, Mexico, and Switzerland. SpaceX is preparing for a public listing expected as soon as next month from May 4, 2026.

The IPO is expected to raise roughly $75 billion. 75 trillion, with an IPO potentially valuing SpaceX at close to $2 trillion. SpaceX is overseen by Elon Musk.

The company is positioned as a major tech bet amid broader industrial shifts. There are two industrial actors attempting to vertically integrate electric vehicles, batteries, chips, robotics, and artificial intelligence into one entity. One such actor is China.

Musk's efforts through SpaceX and related ventures aim to transform these sectors into a monolithic structure.
