SpaceX’s first day on the market saw its stock price fall below the offering price, and Musk’s fortune first surpassed $1.27 trillion



According to Bloomberg data, thanks to SpaceX’s stock price coming in below its offering price on the first day of trading, Elon Musk’s personal wealth increased by $164 billion on June 16 alone, bringing his total net worth to more than $1.27 trillion, officially making him the first trillionaire in human history.

On Friday, SPCX went live on NASDAQ on its first trading day with an offering price of $135 per share. It opened at $150, up 11% from the offering price, and at one point during the day surged by more than 30% to $176.52. It ultimately closed its first day at $160.95, up 19.22%.

Entering Monday, SPCX’s closing price reached $192.5, with a total market value of about $2.52 trillion, making it the sixth-largest publicly traded company by market cap in the United States, behind NVIDIA, Google (Alphabet), Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon.

Market analysis suggests that investors’ optimistic expectations for SpaceX’s “Starlink” satellite internet business, the outlook for the commercial space sector, and its future deep-space exploration plans are the main reasons the company was strongly favored by the market on its first day of listing.

Meanwhile, according to market news, Musk holds about 42% of SpaceX. The strong performance of this IPO directly boosted his personal net worth past the trillion-dollar mark. This figure is equivalent to Switzerland’s annual GDP and far exceeds that of other top global billionaires.
