SpaceX is preparing for a significant public offering in 2026, aiming for a valuation of $1.5 trillion. Elon Musk has confirmed that the reports regarding this IPO are accurate. This offering could potentially escalate Musk's net worth to nearly $1 trillion, making him the first trillionaire, given his stake in SpaceX is estimated at $625 billion.
In the meantime, SpaceX continues to expand its Starlink satellite internet service, recently launching 29 Starlink satellites from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. This launch marked the 300th worldwide orbital flight attempt of 2025.
Additionally, Starlink is set to be integrated into NetJets' private jet fleet, enhancing in-flight internet options for luxury travel. As SpaceX pushes forward with these developments, the competitive landscape in the commercial space industry is heating up, particularly as it competes with companies like Blue Origin in the data center space race.
