Jun 08, 2026
SpaceX's $75 billion IPO isn't just about rockets anymore — it's asking regular investors to fund Elon Musk's war with OpenAI through xAI. The company is allocating 30% of shares directly to retail investors through Robinhood and other platforms, three times the normal amount for mega-IPOs. But buried in the roadshow documents is a troubling detail: xAI is projected to burn $10 billion next year alone, and its compute contracts with SpaceX are terminable at will. Full breakdown of why analysts say this $1.7 trillion valuation is nearly double what SpaceX is actually worth. New AI news every weekday — subscribe so you don't miss tomorrow's story.
