How Elon Musk’s SpaceX may make Google richer by more than $100 billion in 2026

Google-parent Alphabet may see a major financial return from its investment in Elon Musk’s SpaceX in 2026. The tech giant’s investment in the rocket company may be valued at approximately $111 billion if SpaceX reportedly goes public next year as planned. In 2015, Google invested around $900 million in SpaceX, acquiring a stake of about 7% when the space company was valued at $12 billion. With reports indicating SpaceX is planning an IPO next year at a valuation of $1.5 trillion, Google’s holding is set to reach $111 billion.

SpaceX’s success has already had a significant positive impact on Google’s finances.
