When the state-owned Saudi Arabian oil company went public in 2019, it raised nearly $26 billion, according to Renaissance Capital.<\/p>\n<p>SpaceX&#8217;s public stock offering has generated strong investor interest, with Bloomberg reporting on Thursday that the IPO received more than $100 billion in retail orders. Investors are also gaining exposure to businesses beyond rocket launches, with SpaceX owning Musk&#8217;s artificial intelligence company, xAI, as well as satellite internet provider Starlink.<\/p>\n<p>The IPO gives SpaceX a market valuation of $1.77 trillion, making the Texas-based manufacturer one of Wall Street&#8217;s most valuable companies. By comparison, Nvidia, the world&#8217;s most valuable company, has a market cap of $4.96 trillion, while Apple, the second most valuable, is valued at $4.34 trillion.<\/p>\n<p>The IPO has made SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, already the world&#8217;s richest person,\u00a0<span >a trillionaire<\/span>\u00a0\u2014 at least on paper. Musk owns 4.8 billion shares of SpaceX, or about 42% of the company, as well as 350 million stock options, according to the IPO filing. With 82.4% of the company&#8217;s voting power, he will continue to wield significant control over SpaceX&#8217;s future.<\/p>\n<section >\n<p >\n      Edited by<\/p>\n<p>                                  Aimee  Picchi\n                      <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n      .component--type-recirculation {\n      .item:nth-child(7),\n      .card-recirc:nth-child(7) {\n        display: none;\n      }\n    }\n      #inline-recirc-item--id-487f0570-6702-4639-b923-4498e6172ed6, #right-rail-recirc-item--id-487f0570-6702-4639-b923-4498e6172ed6 {\n      display: none;\n    }<\/p>\n<p>    #inline-recirc-item--id-487f0570-6702-4639-b923-4498e6172ed6 ~ .item:nth-child(7) {\n      display: block;\n    }\n  <\/style>\n<section >\n      <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<section >\n<p >In:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Starlink<\/li>\n<li>Elon Musk<\/li>\n<li>Artificial Intelligence<\/li>\n<li>Satellite<\/li>\n<li>SpaceX<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/spacex-stock-price-ipo-spcx-initial-public-offering\/\">Source <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SpaceX is set to begin trading Friday after completing the largest initial public offering in history, marking the long-awaited Wall Street debut of Elon Musk&#8217;s rocket and satellite company.
