To prepare for an initial public offering of the combined entity—potentially valued at $1.75 trillion—the firms are moving to eliminate a massive $17.5 billion debt pile. This financial cleanup includes a $3 billion early buyback of junk bonds at a premium to satisfy investors and improve the balance sheet. Significant global backing has fueled this transition, notably a $3 billion investment from the Saudi-backed firm HUMAIN, whose stake has now converted into SpaceX equity. Additionally, the social media platform X is showing signs of recovery, reporting its first major revenue increase since Musk's acquisition. These maneuvers collectively aim to position SpaceX for a historic public debut as early as mid-2026.
