$7-7.5 billion in funding, 60% more expensive than after merging with xAI, Elon Musk is trying to hype up the space concept to the sky

ME News reported on May 15: SpaceX plans to publicly release its IPO prospectus as early as next week. The global roadshow will kick off on June 8, where the company will pitch the offering to investors. The company privately filed its application in April this year, aiming to raise roughly $7.0–$7.5 billion. Its listing valuation could be as high as $2 trillion, far exceeding the $1.25 trillion valuation after the xAI merger. To make it easier for overseas long-term retail investors, its advisers are seeking special sales channels with brokers in countries including the UK, Japan, and Canada to secure allocations. The news also pushed related shares such as Redwire, AST SpaceMobile, and Rocket Lab to surge.
