New York.- Businessman Elon Musk has confirmed that he plans to take the aerospace company SpaceX public in 2026 after several media outlets indicated that a public offering of shares could occur next year, placing its value at over a trillion dollars.
In a message on his social network X, Musk said that the information published by the media Ars Technica, in which it confirmed the IPO in 2026 to raise up to 30 billion dollars (about 25,548), was "correct".
Previously, Musk had indicated that SpaceX's valuation of $800 billion was not "accurate" because the company does not depend on NASA economically, but rather its main source of income is its Starlink satellite internet system.
Ars Technica compared SpaceX's possible IPO to that of Aramco, the Saudi Arabian state-owned oil company, which in 2019 set the record for an initial public offering (IPO) by raising $29 billion.
The publication indicated that SpaceX's IPO, something Musk had opposed in the past, would allow the company to access capital to finance new projects, such as the construction of data centers, essential for the development of artificial intelligence (AI) systems, in space.
But Bloomberg also pointed out that if the IPO were to take place, Musk's fortune, among the three richest men in the world with about $460 billion, would double and allow him to reach the magic figure of $1 trillion thanks to his stake in SpaceX.
