SpaceX moves forward with IPO<\/h2>

Big picture view:<\/p>

The company, led by CEO Elon Musk<\/u>, has grown into the world’s largest space business and is expected to become the first U.S. company to go public with a market value of more than $1 trillion at the time of its IPO.<\/p>

<\/div>

According to the documents filed, Elon Musk\u2019s SpaceX lost $2.6 billion from operations last year on $18.7 billion in revenue, and the losses kept piling up at the start of this year, too.<\/p>

Still, the initial public offering is expected to rank among the largest ever, possibly surpassing the current title holder, Saudi Aramco, the oil giant that went public seven years ago.<\/p>

The prospectus did not put a dollar figure on the amount Musk hoped to raise but various reports have put it at $75 billion or so, according to The Associated Press.<\/p>

SpaceX acquires xAI<\/h2>

The backstory:<\/p>

Musk\u2019s rocket and satellite company was expected to go public in June in one of the biggest Wall Street events of the year. Investment banks are lining up to fund Musk\u2019s ambitions to set up a base on the moon, put data centers the size of several football fields in orbit, and possibly one day send a man to Mars.<\/p>

Founded in 2002, SpaceX has soared to the top of the industry, accounting for more than 80% of rocket launches worldwide last year, according to\u00a0Fortune<\/u><\/i>. It has more than 10,000 Starlink satellites in orbit.\u00a0<\/p>

SpaceX recently acquired another startup founded by Musk in xAI, which is focused on developing artificial intelligence (AI)<\/u> technologies. The company’s IPO filing notes that the xAI unit still loses money, though AI will be pivotal to the company’s future and it’s collaborating with another Musk firm, Tesla, on an advanced chip manufacturing facility.\u00a0<\/p>
