SpaceX’s IPO momentum is reshaping the debate over where the company could be by 2030, as CEO Elon Musk points to ambitious revenue targets. Space Exploration Technologies (SPCX) went public on June 12, raising $85.7 billion in its first tranche and valuing the firm at $1.77 trillion, after which its market cap rose above $2.1 trillion, according to the article. Despite volatility, SpaceX traded at about 114 times last year’s revenue, after posting a net loss of roughly $4.9 billion last year and about $18.7 billion in sales.
