SpaceX is set to rank seventh among U.S.-listed companies when its shares commence trading on the Nasdaq on Friday
Stocks rose as SpaceX advanced in its first day of trading, while investors monitored a potential interim peace deal in the Iran conflict. Elon Musk is poised to become the world’s first trillionaire with SpaceX’s highly anticipated stock market debut. The world’s richest person, who is currently worth about $790 billion, is expected to see his wealth top $1 trillion once his spacecraft and satellite communications company goes public Friday.
SpaceX is selling 555.6 shares at $135 a piece, raising $75 billion in the largest IPO on record. From Wall Street to Main Street, Elon Musk's hotly anticipated initial public offering (IPO) for SpaceX tomorrow has hit a fever pitch with anyone and everyone.
Bloomberg reported the story as "S&P 500 Climbs as SpaceX Gains, Hopes Build for Iran Peace Deal." The Seattle Times reported the story as "Elon Musk could become the world's first trillionaire with SpaceX's IPO." South China Morning Post reported the story as "Blast off on Wall Street: record SpaceX IPO could make Musk a trillionaire."
