SpaceX wants to raise up to $75bn at $135 a share, but critics say the fixed-price deal may leave buyers overpaying before book building even starts.
Elon Musk’s company is moving faster toward a market debut that could reset expectations for private space valuations and investor demand.
The Elon Musk company set a target price for buyers earlier than expected, putting a giant private valuation in the market’s spotlight.
The filing fixes SpaceX at 555.6 million shares at $135 apiece, while Musk still controls 82.4% of voting power and public buyers get a sliver of the float.
A fixed $135 IPO roadshow price would put SpaceX at $1.75 trillion, a milestone that reshuffles how founders, boards, and public-market investors compare private and listed giants.
