SpaceX officially launched as a publicly traded company Friday morning, and Elon Musk’s company carries the largest IPO (Initial Public Offering) ever seen for a Wall Street debut.
“If people had told me that this was going to happen.
I was like, man you must be smoking some really good crack,” Musk said Friday morning.
SpaceX has its sights set on some major projects, including more rocket launches — both manned and unmanned — construction of AI infrastructure in space along with satellites, and ambitions of lunar landings and missions to Mars.
Musk elaborated on the company’s goal of making “life multi-planetary," stating "that’s what SpaceX is all about, it’s to take the fiction out of science fiction.”
The market opened at 9:30 a.m. ET, and SpaceX priced its shares at US$135 each.
This makes the current total value of the company approximately US$1.75 trillion dollars.
