SpaceX makes its debut among the stars (of Wall Street)
SpaceX is preparing for a landmark initial public offering (IPO) targeting proceeds of around $75 billion at an implied valuation of over ~$1.7 trillion, thus positioning it to become the largest IPO in history. The transaction will consist of low-voting Class A shares (one vote per share) for public investors, while founder and CEO, Elon Musk, and insiders will retain super-voting Class B shares (ten votes per share). Post-listing, Musk is expected to maintain effective control of the company (~85%), with the ability to determine board composition and shareholder outcomes. Ultimately, the IPO is expected to feature a very limited free float of less than 5% based on outstanding shares in its filing.
