SpaceX is preparing for a historic IPO, aiming to raise $75 billion by selling shares at $135 each, valuing the company at $1.77 trillion. The proceeds will fund expansion of its Starlink network and AI compute capabilities, with a stated goal of establishing a Mars colony. A significant portion of the funds will be used to repay existing debts to investors and partners, leaving less than $18 billion for direct AI development. Elon Musk will retain majority voting control, positioning SpaceX as a "controlled company" exempt from certain Nasdaq governance rules. AI
