Space X has captured the attention of media, investors, and the public for years now — interest propelled by the company s reusable rocket launches, the rise of its Starlink satellite network, and of course, for its founder and CEO Elon Musk.
But in its 24-year history, nothing quite compared to its initial public offering. Everyone seemed interested — perhaps because of the sheer size of the IPO. The company priced its 555.6 million shares at $135 each to raise $75 billion, making it the largest IPO in history and turning Musk into the world s first trillionaire. That total raised figure would end up ballooning to $85.7 billion raised.
