SpaceX goes public in the largest IPO ever, and Musk crosses the trillion-dollar line
What $135 (or more) a share buys: a rocket business, Starlink, and a very, very large bet on AI
Why it matters: The largest IPO in history did two things at once: it made Elon Musk the world's first trillionaire, and it quietly converted a privately held rocket company into a stock that millions of investors may soon own whether they chose to or not. SpaceX isn't asking Wall Street to price its launches or its satellites. It's asking the market to bet that a rocket company is on its way to becoming one of the most valuable AI companies on Earth, and to start paying for that future today.
