| There's a 32-story rocket sitting on Pad 39B at Kennedy Space Center right now. | In a few hours, it lights up. Four astronauts go somewhere no human has been since 1972.
And this morning — same day, same calendar square — the company that built the rocket quietly filed paperwork with the SEC to raise $75 billion.
I want you to picture the SpaceX PR team this morning. | Someone walked into that office, put their coffee down, and said:
"Okay so… Artemis launches tonight AND we filed for the IPO today. Should we maybe… space these out?" | Reader, they did not space these out. | And honestly? Respect. | Because today is the kind of day that comes along maybe once a decade.
This is either the greatest marketing timing in corporate history, or a cosmic coincidence…
Here's the story ⇩

| | SPONSOR BREAK presented by TheOxfordClub* | Get "Backdoor Access" BEFORE the SpaceX IPO | When SpaceX goes public, it could hit a $1.5 TRILLION valuation - that would be 3,000 times bigger than Amazon's IPO. | Most investors will be locked out until AFTER the big announcement. | But I've discovered a "backdoor" that lets you grab a pre-IPO stake in SpaceX right now. | I'm revealing the ticker for free. | Click Here for Your FREE "SpaceX" Ticker | |

| | The numbers are genuinely absurd | Let's do the SpaceX IPO math real quick because the numbers deserve a moment. | $75 billion raise. $1.75 trillion valuation. Both records. By a lot. (according to Bloomberg)
The company Elon started in a warehouse in 2002 — after three rockets exploded — is now worth more than Toyota, Walmart, and Mastercard. | The part that's actually interesting for regular investors:
SpaceX is reportedly allocating up to 30% of the offering to retail. The typical IPO gives retail about 10%. So they're tripling the individual investor slice — which either means Musk genuinely wants Main Street along for the ride, or demand from institutions isn't quite as rabid as the headlines suggest. | (Probably the first one. But worth noting.) |

|
| | SPONSOR BREAK presented by InvestorPlace* | Is Elon about to trigger another 315X opportunity?
Elon gave Tesla investors the chance to make more than 315 times their money when he revived the electric vehicle industry. $1 billion fund manager Louis Navellier believes Elon's "Project Apex" will mint a new generation of millionaires. | Click here to get the details. | This ad is sent on behalf of InvestorPlace Media at 1125 N.

| | The Fine Print Nobody Reads (But Should) | SpaceX is considering a dual-class share structure for the IPO.
Here's what that actually means in plain English.
Most companies have one type of share.
One share = one vote. Simple.
Dual-class means there are two tiers.
→ Class A shares go to the public — that's you.
→ Class B shares stay with insiders — that's Musk.
The catch? Class B shares carry way more voting power. Sometimes 10x more.
So you could own 1,000 shares of SpaceX and Musk could own 100 — and he'd still outvote you. By a lot.
This isn't unusual.
✓ Meta does it.
✓ Alphabet does it.
✓ Snap does it.
Mark Zuckerberg owns 99.7% of Meta's Class B shares, which represents about 13% of the stock but over 53% of the voting power. That's the same idea.
What it means practically: Musk can ignore shareholders. He can make decisions they disagree with — new missions, new ventures, pivots, personnel — and there is nothing they can do about it except sell.
We've seen this movie before with Tesla. Retail investors love the stock. They also have essentially zero say in how the company is run.

| | Elon's Secret Cash Machine | Everyone thinks SpaceX is a rocket company.
It's not. Not really.
It's an internet company that happens to own the most impressive delivery system ever built.
Starlink launched in 2019. The idea was simple but insane: instead of running cables under oceans and through mountains, what if you just… put the internet in space?
SpaceX has launched over 7,000 satellites into low Earth orbit. They're roughly 340 miles up — close enough to deliver internet speeds that can actually compete with your home broadband.
To anywhere on the planet.
→ A fishing boat in the middle of the Pacific.
→ A farm in rural Montana… also,
→ in Ukraine.
Starlink became critical military and civilian infrastructure almost overnight. Governments started paying for it. Then corporations. Then consumers.
And here's the beautiful part — it's a subscription business.
Like Netflix. Like Spotify.
That recurring revenue is now reportedly the majority of SpaceX's profits.
! Not the rocket launches. Not the NASA contracts. Not the Falcon 9 flights that made Elon famous.
Starlink. 7,000+ satellites already in orbit and zero serious competition at scale.
The rockets are the show. Starlink is the business.

| | | | Wait, They're Building What? |  | credit: SpaceX |
| SpaceX and Tesla just announced a joint venture called Terafab.
The idea: build every stage of semiconductor production under one roof.
→ No outsourcing. No supply chain drama. Just chips, made in-house, in Austin, Texas.
Two types of chips specifically.
1\ The first is an edge-inference processor — the brain inside Tesla's full self-driving system, Optimus robots, and the Robotaxi fleet. Every time a Tesla decides not to hit a traffic cone, that chip is doing the thinking.
2\ The second is more interesting. A space-hardened variant. Built to survive radiation, extreme temperatures, and the general hostility of being 340 miles above Earth. These go into SpaceX satellites, orbital infrastructure, and xAI projects.
Why does this matter? Because right now, SpaceX buys chips from the same suppliers everyone else fights over. Terafab changes that.
Vertical integration means → lower costs, faster iteration, and zero dependency on Taiwan if things get geopolitically complicated.

| Then there's the orbital data centers.
Musk's argument is straightforward: land is expensive, cooling is expensive, energy is expensive.
In space, you have unlimited solar power and the vacuum of space for cooling.
So why not put the servers up there?
Wall Street called this science fiction six months ago.
They're not calling it that anymore.
The SpaceX IPO money funds all of this. So when you look at that $75 billion raise — that's not just rockets. That's chips, satellites, and a bet that the next generation of AI compute runs from orbit.
Whether it works is a different question.
But the market is about to price it in either way.
