SpaceX files Confidentially for IPO: What this means; and how Elon Musk’s company may have left OpenAI and Anthropic ‘behind’
Elon Musk’s Space company SpaceX has reportedly filed confidentially for an initial public offering (IPO). SpaceX confidentially filing brings Elon Musk’s rocket, satellite and AI company closer to delivering what is widely speculated to be the biggest-ever listing. According to a report in Bloomberg, quoting people familiar with the matter, Spacex submitted its draft IPO registration to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The confidentiality filing puts it on track for a June listing. SpaceX is the world’s most valuable privately held company, based on the valuation implied by its merger deal with xAI. The rocket startup was last valued at about $800 billion in a secondary share sale.
With a June listing, Spacex is likely to be first among the trio of mega-IPOs expected in 2026, including ahead of arch-rivals OpenAI and Anthropic.
