Elon Musk’s SpaceX Prepares for Record-Breaking IPO Next Month

from Headlines From The Times · host L.A. Times Studios

SpaceX, Elon Musk's rocket and space company is preparing to go public next month in what could become the biggest IPO to hit Wall Street. New filings reveal a sky-high projection that values the company at just over $1 trillion and estimates the offering could raise between $50 and $75 billion when shares hit the market in June. If it does, the SpaceX IPO would shatter the current record held by Saudi Aramco or the Saudi Arabian Oil Company, which raised about $26 billion in 2019. Meanwhile, James Murdoch is buying half of Vox Media for more than $300 million, with the deal including their podcast network, Vox.com, and New York Magazine. And tonight will be the final night of “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.” In 2015, Colbert took over from David Letterman, the first and only host of CBS's “The Late Show,” and for most of Colbert’s time with the show, he was the highest-rated late-night host.
