A single sentence in SpaceX’s amended IPO filing suggests the company may use richly priced stock for massive acquisitions, including a possible Tesla deal.

The company set a target price for buyers earlier than expected, giving investors an early read on how public-market demand may shape Elon Musk’s empire.

The filing would make Elon Musk’s rocket company the biggest public debut ever, while preserving his grip on the vote and setting a new benchmark for hot private-market exits.

Elon Musk's rocket maker is poised to top Saudi Aramco's 2019 debut in valuation and money raised, a reminder that pricing alone can rewrite market history.
