SpaceX initiates historic IPO, revealing massive space and AI blueprint. SpaceX has confidentially filed its S-1, targeting a record-breaking IPO that could raise $75 billion at a $1.75 trillion valuation. The company revealed over $11 billion in 2025 revenue from Starlink, though it still posted a $4.9 billion loss amid massive capital expenditures for Starship and xAI integrations. This blockbuster filing frames SpaceX not just as an aerospace giant, but as a core AI infrastructure player, competing directly for capital as OpenAI also prepares to secretly file for its own IPO targeting a September listing.
