SpaceX IPO Expected to Debut with $1.77 Trillion Valuation, Potentially Making Elon Musk World's First Trillionaire
SpaceX is set to debut on the Nasdaq on Friday with an expected initial valuation of $1.77 trillion at a $135 per share price point. Prediction market traders estimate an 84% probability the company will close above $1.8 trillion and a 69% probability it will surpass $2 trillion on its first day. If valuations hold, Elon Musk's personal wealth could potentially cross the $1 trillion threshold, making him the world's first trillionaire.
SpaceX is preparing for what is expected to be the largest IPO in history, with an initial market capitalization of $1.77 trillion based on a $135 per share pricing. According to Polymarket prediction market traders, there is an 84% probability SpaceX will close above $1.8 trillion and a 69% probability it will exceed $2 trillion on its debut day—representing a potential 13% rally. Pre-IPO perpetual futures on Hyperliquid suggest the stock could jump more than 20% in first-day trading. A $2 trillion valuation would place SpaceX in an exclusive club alongside only five other U.S. companies: Nvidia, Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft, and Amazon. Elon Musk's current net worth is estimated between $800 billion and $850 billion; if SpaceX reaches anticipated valuations, his personal fortune could potentially exceed $1 trillion, which would make him the world's first trillionaire in modern history.
What's missing
The articles do not specify the exact percentage of SpaceX that Elon Musk owns, which is essential for calculating whether his personal wealth would actually reach $1 trillion based on the company's valuation. Additionally, the articles do not address potential lockup periods, tax implications, or other factors that could affect the realizability of such wealth.

South Korea's Central Bank Governor Signals Imminent Interest Rate Increase
South Korea's Bank of Korea governor stated on Friday that interest rates must be raised "on time" to combat inflation that is expected to exceed the central bank's 2% target for an extended period. Consumer inflation in South Korea reached 3.1% in May, a more than two-year high, driven partly by elevated oil prices from Middle East tensions.
