Investors Say Elon Musk's SpaceX Trading Debut Will Be 'Craziest IPO' Ever, But Valuation Concerns Loom

Investors are welcoming reports that SpaceX is considering a potential initial public offering that could value Elon Musk'selon musk rocket and satellite company at more than $1 trillion, with some market watchers predicting it could become the most frenzied IPO in stock market history. SpaceX is looking to raise more than $25 billion in an IPO that could come as early as June, according to a person familiar with the matter.

"It's going to be the craziest IPO in the history of the stock market," said Shay Boloor, chief market strategist for Futurum Equities Research. "If it's trying to go for $1.5 trillion, I wouldn't be surprised if it goes up to over $2 trillion once it gets open." The demand from retail investors is expected to be substantial despite the high-risk and capital-intensive nature of the aerospace business.
