SpaceX plans a mid-June 2026 IPO aiming to raise up to $50 billion at about a $1.5 trillion valuation, the Financial Times reported Jan. 28. The FT said timing targets a June 8-9 Jupiter-Venus conjunction (and aligns with Elon Musk's June 28 birthday) and that proceeds would fund Starship development, Moon and Mars missions, and proposed space-based AI datacenters.
