After months of speculation, Elon Musk’s SpaceX has filed for an initial public offering in the United States, setting up what could become one of the biggest IPOs in history.
Reports on April 1, 2026, said the filing was made confidentially, meaning the registration statement was not yet public. Widely cited timelines point to a June market debut.
The filing would give investors a way to buy into the company behind Falcon 9, Starlink and Starship, the three pillars of SpaceX’s business and Elon Musk’s long-term push toward establishing a human presence on the Moon and, eventually, a colony on Mars.
Falcon 9 has become the workhorse of the launch industry, while Starlink has grown into a major communications business and an increasingly important strategic asset. Starship remains the company’s biggest long-term bet, the vehicle SpaceX is developing for deep-space missions, lunar operations and, ultimately, Mars.
Musk’s stated goal is to build self-sustaining life beyond Earth, with Starship central to his effort to make humanity a multiplanetary species. Musk has also said he wants to live on Mars and die there.
Reports point to a valuation of around $1.75 trillion, which would make the offering one of the biggest ever and, if completed anywhere near that level, could push Musk’s wealth to levels that would put him on track to become the world’s first trillionaire.
