SpaceX is reportedly planning a $1.5T IPO this summer

Rumors are circulating that Elon Musk is planning to IPO a combined SpaceX and xAI this summer. They expect to raise $50 billion at a $1.5 trillion valuation. This would be the largest IPO raise ever. The financials are mixed. They did $15 billion in revenue last year with $8 billion in EBITDA, but reportedly had a $2.4 billion loss for the first nine months of 2025. Both are highly capital-intensive businesses. Building 10,000 rockets will cost an estimated $350 billion, and xAI burned through $8 billion last year just on data centers. To make the $1.5 trillion valuation work and offer a 10% return to shareholders, the company would need to hit $80 billion in annual profit by 2031. That is more than Meta or Berkshire Hathaway makes right now. It is a massive bet on them monopolizing the space industry.

those revenue numbers for SpaceX are impressive but that loss is definitely something to think about. would you jump in on day one or wait for things to settle?
