2 April 2026 SpaceX, the space company owned by Elon Musk, has quietly filed an application for an initial public offering (IPO) in the United States, according to sources cited by Reuters and Bloomberg. The move could result in one of the largest stock market flotations ever. Analysts estimate that the company could be valued at more than $1.75 trillion at the time of listing, which would make it a record-breaking IPO. The IPO will give investors the chance to put money into a company that is a global leader in rocket launches and satellite communications. SpaceX launches more rockets than any of its competitors and plays a major role in projects such as lunar missions and plans for the colonisation of Mars.
