Elon Musk could become the world’s first dollar trillionaire if SpaceX lists at a valuation of around $1.7–$1.75 trillion. The planned IPO would be one of the largest stock market debuts in history and could sharply increase the value of Musk’s stake in the company.
A record-breaking valuation
Reports say SpaceX is targeting a raise of about $75–$80 billion, with a possible Nasdaq listing in June. At that level, the company would rank among the most valuable listed businesses in the world from its first trading day.
Musk’s wealth depends on SpaceX
Musk’s fortune is already tied to Tesla, SpaceX, xAI and other ventures. A public listing would give investors a clearer market price for SpaceX, potentially lifting his paper wealth above the trillion-dollar threshold.
Starlink drives the story
The strongest commercial argument is Starlink, SpaceX’s satellite internet business. Its recurring revenue, global reach and defence-related potential have helped turn SpaceX from a rocket company into a broader infrastructure platform.
Risk remains high
The valuation also depends on investor confidence in future growth, AI infrastructure, launch economics and Musk’s leadership. A trillion-dollar fortune would therefore be a market calculation, not cash in the bank.
