The proposed IPO would primarily be aimed at financing an aggressive expansion strategy, including a sharply increased launch cadence for its experimental <strong data-start=\"832\" data-end=\"851\">Starship rocket<\/strong>, the development of <strong data-start=\"872\" data-end=\"921\">artificial intelligence data centres in space<\/strong>, and long-term plans for establishing a <strong data-start=\"962\" data-end=\"988\">human base on the Moon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"991\" data-end=\"1333\">In the latest secondary share sale, SpaceX set a per-share price of <strong data-start=\"1059\" data-end=\"1067\">$421<\/strong>, nearly double the <strong data-start=\"1087\" data-end=\"1095\">$212<\/strong> price established during a similar offering in July 2025, when the company was valued at approximately <strong data-start=\"1194\" data-end=\"1210\">$400 billion<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"991\" data-end=\"1333\">The pricing details were outlined by Chief Financial Officer <strong data-start=\"1273\" data-end=\"1289\">Bret Johnsen<\/strong> in a memorandum circulated to shareholders.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"991\" data-end=\"1333\">This sharp increase pushes SpaceX beyond the previous valuation record for a private company.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"991\" data-end=\"1333\">The original valuation milestone was set in October by OpenAI, which reached a reported valuation of <strong data-start=\"1536\" data-end=\"1552\">$500 billion<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1539 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/WHITE-KITC-1-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Elon Musk pay package, Elon Musk $1 trillion salary, Tesla CEO pay deal, Tesla shareholder vote, Tesla compensation plan, Elon Musk news, Tesla performance goals, Elon Musk net worth, world\u2019s largest salary, Tesla stock news, Tesla market valuation, Tesla $1 trillion pay deal, Elon Musk Tesla shares, Tesla AI projects, Cybercab robotaxi, Tesla Roadster 2025, Tesla Optimus robot, Elon Musk trillionaire, Tesla profits, Tesla EV production, Tesla investors, Tesla board decision, Norway sovereign wealth fund Tesla, Tesla chip manufacturing, Intel Tesla collaboration, Tesla Full Self-Driving subscriptions, Tesla growth targets, Elon Musk richest man, Tesla annual meeting Austin, Tesla pay controversy, Tesla AI expansion, Elon Musk leadership, Tesla long-term strategy, Tesla market growth, Tesla EV future, Musk trillion dollar deal, Tesla 2025 plans, Tesla innovation news, Elon Musk $878 billion payout\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/WHITE-KITC-1-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/newsraise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/WHITE-KITC-1-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/newsraise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/WHITE-KITC-1-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/newsraise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/WHITE-KITC-1-2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>However, with the new figure, SpaceX has once again become the <strong data-start=\"1608\" data-end=\"1654\">world\u2019s most valuable closely held company<\/strong>.\u00a0If Musk proceeds with the IPO, the offering could seek to raise <strong data-start=\"1721\" data-end=\"1746\">well over $30 billion<\/strong>, surpassing all previous public listings.\u00a0As per the media sources available so far, SpaceX aims to target a total valuation of around <strong data-start=\"1889\" data-end=\"1906\">$1.5 trillion<\/strong>, placing it in the same league as <strong data-start=\"1941\" data-end=\"1957\">Saudi Aramco<\/strong>, which set the global benchmark with its record-breaking 2019 market debut.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2035\" data-end=\"2400\">However, the timing and final structure of the IPO remain uncertain. In his communication to investors, Johnsen cautioned that market conditions and execution risks could influence whether the company ultimately moves forward with the listing. SpaceX has not formally committed to the IPO, and no spokesperson from the company has confirmed this development either.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2402\" data-end=\"2683\">SpaceX conducts <strong data-start=\"2418\" data-end=\"2444\">biannual tender offers<\/strong>, allowing employees and existing shareholders to either sell shares or increase their holdings. The current transaction effectively establishes a new fair market value and is widely viewed as a preparatory step ahead of a public offering.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"2685\" data-end=\"2968\">Founded in 2002, SpaceX has grown into the <strong data-start=\"2728\" data-end=\"2774\">most prolific rocket launcher in the world<\/strong>, dominating the commercial space industry with its <strong data-start=\"2826\" data-end=\"2838\">Falcon 9<\/strong> rocket.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2685\" data-end=\"2968\">The reusable launch system has become the backbone of global satellite deployment and crewed missions to low-Earth orbit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"2970\" data-end=\"3274\">Beyond launch services, SpaceX is also the leader in satellite-based internet connectivity through <strong data-start=\"3069\" data-end=\"3081\">Starlink<\/strong>, a rapidly expanding constellation of thousands of satellites. The service now provides broadband access to <strong data-start=\"3190\" data-end=\"3225\">millions of customers worldwide<\/strong>, particularly in underserved and remote regions.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3276\" data-end=\"3652\">As SpaceX pushes deeper into ambitious frontiers\u2014from interplanetary transport to orbital data infrastructure\u2014investors are closely watching whether Musk\u2019s bold vision can translate into sustained growth at public-market scale. If successful, a SpaceX IPO would not only redefine valuation benchmarks but also reshape the future of the global aerospace and technology
