Well, well, well… looks like the rumors were true after all. 👀

After last week's speculation (and a little Elon-style denial), SpaceX has officially confirmed on Friday that an IPO is indeed on the table. And not just any IPO — we’re talking about one that values the company at a massive $800 billion, instantly putting it as one of the biggest market debuts of all time. 💸

According to Bloomberg, SpaceX is preparing for a possible 2026 public offering, with plans to raise well north of $30 billion. And if it happens, it would tower every IPO before it, including Saudi Aramco’s legendary 2019 listing. 📈

The valuation itself comes from SpaceX’s latest insider share sale, which priced shares at $421 each — nearly double the $212 price set just months ago. That earlier round valued the company at $400 billion. (Yeah, it practically doubled overnight!) 😳

So… what exactly is all this money for?

Short answer… ambition on steroids, as all of Elon’s projects are.

The company says the IPO would help fund an “insane flight rate” for its Starship rocket, build AI-powered data centers in space, and even support plans for a future base on the moon.

That’s… a lot, to put it lightly.

And while that might sound wildly futuristic, it’s not unrealistic. SpaceX already dominates today’s space economy. Its Falcon 9 rockets are arguably the industry’s darlings, launching satellites, cargo, and astronauts with unmatched competition. And Starlink has already quietly become the global Internet provider leader, serving millions of customers across the world. 📡

Financially, SpaceX is also playing this smart. The company already runs twice-yearly tender offers, allowing employees and early investors to cash out or increase their stakes. So, this insider sale feels like a clear warm-up before the main event.

However, don’t get too excited just yet as nothing is officially locked in. CFO Bret Johnsen cautioned that the timing (and even the IPO itself) could change. Execution matters, he explained. ⏱️

But if SpaceX pulls this off? Analysts say it’ll definitely be a defining moment for markets, tech, and the future of space itself. And Wall Street may be about to meet the final frontier. 🚀
