SpaceX valuation tops $2 trillion after historic market debut

On June 12, 2026, the aerospace industry witnessed a historic event as SpaceX officially entered the public market.

Its debut on the Nasdaq exchange was the largest initial public offering (IPO) in history, raising an impressive $75 billion.

This milestone has not only solidified SpaceX’s position as a global leader but also elevated Elon Musk to become the world’s first trillionaire.

Since its founding in 2002, SpaceX has evolved from a rocket startup into a multifaceted technological powerhouse.

Today, the company manages the expansive Starlink satellite network, integrates artificial intelligence through partnerships with xAI, and continues to pursue ambitious goals like Mars colonization.

With a successful bell-ringing ceremony in New York and celebrations at Starbase, Texas, SpaceX has firmly cemented its place in both financial and aerospace history, marking a new chapter for private space exploration.
