SpaceX live updates: IPO filing sets stage for record offering

Elon Musk’s SpaceX is officially headed for the public market in what’s likely to be a record IPO that will put the world’s richest person at the helm of two separate trillion-dollar publicly traded companies.

In a prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday, SpaceX said it plans to list under ticker symbol SPCX on the Nasdaq. SpaceX confidentially filed with the SEC in April, and CNBC reported last week that the company is aiming to kick off a roadshow to market the deal on June 8.

Founded by Musk in 2002 to develop and operate reusable rockets, SpaceX has turned into NASA’s biggest launch partner after the agency ended its space shuttle program in 2011. In addition to its massive aerospace and defense contracts, SpaceX also operates the Starlink satellite internet service and a constellation of around 10,000 satellites, as well as artificial intelligence unit xAI, which previously acquired X, the social network formerly known as Twitter.
