Elon Musk may be on the verge of making financial history. If SpaceX launches an initial public offering (IPO) at a valuation of around $1.5 trillion, Musk could become the world’s first trillionaire, according to multiple financial estimates.
Musk owns roughly 42% of SpaceX, meaning his stake alone could be worth more than $625 billion at that valuation. Combined with his holdings in Tesla and other ventures, his total net worth could climb to nearly $1 trillion, up from about $460 billion today, based on Bloomberg calculations.
Investor expectations are already high. Data from prediction market Polymarket suggests a strong chance that a future SpaceX IPO could exceed $1 trillion in valuation. SpaceX’s rapid growth, driven by its rocket launches and Starlink satellite internet business, has fueled strong demand from both private and institutional investors.
While SpaceX has not officially confirmed IPO plans, the company is reportedly preparing new share sales that could value it at more than $800 billion, potentially making it the world’s most valuable private company once again.
The IPO would represent Musk’s second major path toward trillionaire status, alongside his ambitious Tesla compensation package, which depends on extreme long-term performance targets.
For now, a SpaceX IPO remains speculative, but if it happens at the numbers investors are betting on, Elon Musk could soon cross a milestone no individual has reached before.
