SpaceX Completes First Launch as Public Company, Musk Sees $1 Trillion Revenue by 2030
SpaceX completed its first rocket launch as a public company, deploying 24 satellites via Falcon 9. Earlier in the session, the stock was up about 8%, and Elon Musk said the company could reach $1 trillion in revenue by 2030.
The mission came days after the company’s June 12 Nasdaq IPO, which raised $75 billion and was later expanded to about $85.7 billion when underwriters exercised an overallotment option to buy an additional 83.33 million shares. SpaceX closed its first trading day up 19%, valuing the company at roughly $2.1 trillion.
