As SpaceX prepares for its initial public offering, prediction markets such as Polymarket are projecting a valuation for the company in the $1.75 trillion to $2 trillion range. This anticipated valuation is central to discussions regarding Elon Musk's potential to reach a trillion-dollar net worth, as he holds approximately 41% of SpaceX shares. The IPO process has been marked by significant corporate restructuring, including SpaceX's acquisition of xAI as a subsidiary and a $2 billion equity investment from Tesla, which now holds nearly 19 million shares of SpaceX Class A common stock.
Polymarket traders assign a 60% probability to a SpaceX IPO valuation between $1.75 trillion and $2 trillion, with a 70.5% probability of a first-day market cap exceeding $2 trillion.
Tesla holds 18,990,195 shares of SpaceX Class A common stock, representing less than 1% of total outstanding shares as of May 1, 2026.
SpaceX and Tesla have entered a collaborative initiative called Terafab, which aims to produce one terawatt of compute hardware annually, with Intel joining the project in April 2026.
Elon Musk's net worth is estimated at approximately $800 billion, with analysts suggesting a successful SpaceX IPO at a $1.75 trillion valuation could push his total wealth past the $1 trillion mark.
SpaceX entered into a $20 billion bridge loan in March 2026, with repayment terms tied to the proceeds of its qualified IPO.
In February 2026, SpaceX completed a merger with xAI, making it a wholly-owned subsidiary. Consequently, Tesla's previous agreement to acquire xAI stock was converted into the right to acquire SpaceX Class A common stock.
Terafab is a partnership between SpaceX, Tesla, and Intel to build a semiconductor research fab at the Gigafactory Texas campus, intended to support orbital AI ambitions by producing logic and memory chips.
Polymarket traders have assigned an 88.5% to 92.5% probability that SpaceX will hold a higher valuation than Tesla by June 30, 2026.
Analysts suggest that because Musk owns approximately 41% of SpaceX, a high-valuation IPO could increase his total net worth to over $1 trillion, a level of wealth concentration estimated at 3% of U.S. GDP.
