SpaceX IPO: $1.75 Trillion, Still Losing Money

from Elon Musk Podcast · host Stage Zero

SpaceX is set to go public on June 12, 2026 at a $1.75 trillion valuation, the largest IPO in history. The company is targeting a $75 billion raise at $135 per share. But the S-1 filing reveals a contradiction: Starlink generates billions while the company posts a net loss, driven by the xAI merger and a massive bet on AI compute. This episode breaks down the SpaceX IPO filing. xAI posted a $2.47 billion operating loss in Q1 2026, and Starlink revenue is covering most of it. Then two compute deals changed the math. Anthropic agreed to pay $1.25 billion a month to rent xAI's Colossus 1 data center, and Google signed a $920 million per month deal, both running through 2029. Together that's about $75 billion in contracted future revenue. We cover how SpaceX shifted from running GPUs internally for Grok to operating as an AI cloud infrastructure provider, the multi-class share structure that keeps Elon Musk in control, the possible Tesla merger tying together chips, data centers, and robotics, and the FCC filing for a million-satellite "space cloud." Plus where the $600-700 billion premium above Starlink and launch is actually coming from, and what a generational liquidity event means for employees and VC backers.
