Elon Musk’s SpaceX IPO: What Investors Need to Know

Next week, shares will go on sale in Musk’s Texas-based SpaceX, a firm with ambitions to colonize Mars and establish artificial intelligence (AI) dat

Next week, shares will go on sale in Musk’s Texas-based SpaceX, a firm with ambitions to colonize Mars and establish artificial intelligence (AI) data centers in space. This event is shaping up to be the largest ever public sale of shares, potentially catapulting SpaceX into the ranks of the top ten largest listed firms in the United States. But for those looking to invest, what exactly are they getting into, and what risks are involved?

SpaceX, currently under the ownership of Musk and other private investors, will release millions of new shares on June 12. This Initial Public Offering (IPO) is targeting to raise a staggering $75 billion, offering investors a chance to buy into a business that spans from space exploration and satellite communications to the social media platform X and the controversial AI service, Grok. Now, it’s important to note that while SpaceX operates independently from Musk’s more famous company, Tesla, there are whispers that the two might merge as early as next year.

Musk is on a mission to use the funds raised to not only expand SpaceX’s current operations but also to embark on futuristic projects, including asteroid mining, Mars colonization, and placing AI data centers in the cosmos. The sales prospectus reads like a sci-fi novel, urging humans to avoid “the same fate as dinosaurs” and to prepare for an “age of abundance” in space. However, there’s no shortage of skepticism surrounding the viability of these ambitious plans. Critics are quick to point out the ocean of uncertainty that lies ahead, despite Musk’s history of overcoming doubts.

If the IPO proceeds as planned, Musk could find himself on the path to becoming a trillionaire. The shares will be traded on the New York Nasdaq market, a hub for tech-focused investments, and it’s expected that major global investment institutions will snap up shares. Yet, individual investors, including those in the UK, will also have a shot at purchasing shares through specific investment platforms and brokers. SpaceX has put more than 550 million shares on the table, aiming to sell them at a price of $135 each. Investors must weigh whether they believe this valuation holds water. Once trading begins, the share price could fluctuate wildly based on market perceptions—was that initial price too low or too high?

Even if someone doesn’t dive into investing in SpaceX directly, they might have an indirect stake if their pension or savings fund manager decides to buy shares as part of their investment strategy, or if they hold an index-tracking fund that automatically invests in major firms. SpaceX is projected to be valued around $1.75 trillion, positioning it above competitors like Anthropic and OpenAI but still smaller than tech behemoths like Alphabet (Google), Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon.

As analysts keep tabs on the performance of companies like SpaceX, even they are left scratching their heads about whether the stock price will rise or fall once trading kicks off. Musk has faced his fair share of hurdles in the past—failed rocket launches, production slowdowns, and political controversies—but the escalating costs tied to the AI race add another layer of uncertainty, leading to widespread concern that share prices might already be inflated and on the verge of bursting.

Last year, Space Exploration Technologies, the official name of SpaceX, reported an impressive revenue of $18.6 billion, but it also recorded a net loss of $4.9 billion. The IPO prospectus candidly states that the company has “a history of net losses” and cautions that it “may not achieve profitability in the future.” Ruth Foxe-Blader from Citrine Venture Partners believes the sheer number and variety of SpaceX’s projects provide numerous selling points. However, Michael Hewson at iForex argues that the figures are hard to believe, essentially amounting to a gamble on Musk’s “ability to deliver” on grand ambitions.

This IPO is just the first of three AI-related mega-listings anticipated this year. When Anthropic and OpenAI launch their shares, the same principle will apply: substantial investments without guaranteed future profits. After the share sale, Musk will still retain over 80% of the voting power, which is slightly less than he currently holds. He will continue to decide who runs the company and its overarching strategy, a factor that raises eyebrows due to Musk’s unpredictable management style and multiple ventures. Yet, for some investors, it may precisely be Musk’s reputation that fuels interest in this venture.

Musk has been vocal on his platform X, often criticizing various issues, including police treatment in certain cases. He remains the richest person globally, utilizing his platform to share his perspectives across a wide range of topics. Interestingly, his space exploration company has set a target share price for buyers earlier than initially anticipated. And remember, the largest and most powerful rocket in history recently blasted off after a postponed first launch.

Global Steel Crisis Intensifies: OECD Sounds the Alarm on Oversupply

Global steelmaking capacity is on the rise, even as demand continues to falter, leading to concerns that prices could plummet and disrupt fair compet

Global steelmaking capacity is on the rise, even as demand continues to falter, leading to concerns that prices could plummet and disrupt fair competition. Steel, a fundamental material in various industries like construction, manufacturing, and even the booming electric vehicle sector, is at the center of this crisis. The OECD has pointed out that government subsidies play a significant role in fueling this global overcapacity. Most of the growth in steelmaking capacity over the past twenty years has occurred outside of OECD countries, frequently backed by state support.

In a striking revelation, the OECD reported that in 2024, the typical Chinese steel firm received subsidies that were 15 times greater than what producers in other countries received, relative to their total assets. This is a staggering figure that underscores the disparity in support among steelmakers globally. At the same time, Chinese steelmakers exported a record-breaking 131 million tonnes of steel in 2025, marking a 153% increase compared to 2020. This volume far exceeds what the European Union can manage, raising eyebrows and concerns among European producers.

The OECD emphasizes the urgent need to address the root causes of this issue, particularly harmful subsidies and other non-market practices. It’s clear that stronger international cooperation is essential to create a fair playing field for steel producers everywhere. European steelmakers, for instance, face higher labor and energy costs and stricter environmental regulations than many of their international counterparts. This leaves them in a precarious position, often unable to withstand prolonged periods of low prices, unlike rivals who benefit from lower operational costs and more substantial government backing.

So, what’s the outlook moving forward? As steel prices teeter on the edge, the question remains: how will the global market adapt to these alarming trends? It’s a situation that bears watching closely as the intricacies of international trade and government support continue to shape the landscape of the steel industry.

Starmer Calls Out Musk Over Divisive Comments on Henry Nowak Murder

Sir Keir Starmer has accused tech billionaire Elon Musk of “trying to whip up division” regarding the murder of Henry Nowak. This claim comes in the

Sir Keir Starmer has accused tech billionaire Elon Musk of “trying to whip up division” regarding the murder of Henry Nowak. This claim comes in the wake of violent protests in Southampton after the release of bodycam footage showing police handcuffing the 18-year-old Nowak as he lay dying. His assailant, Vickrum Digwa, had previously asserted that he was a victim of a racist attack. Nowak’s tragic final moments have ignited a political storm in the UK, with Musk criticizing the treatment of the teenager by the police.

Just to give you the lay of the land, Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has already met with Nowak’s family on Thursday and emphasized the need for cooperation across political lines to rebuild trust in the police. Starmer is set to meet the family later as well. On Tuesday, Musk took to X, stating: “Send the video to everyone you know showing how heinously Nowak was treated by the police in his dying moments and how the police cravenly kowtowed to his murderer.” He also mentioned that mainstream media, who had extensively covered the George Floyd case, were suspiciously silent about Nowak’s situation.

Now, if you remember, George Floyd’s tragic death sparked worldwide protests against racism and police brutality, making this comparison particularly poignant. In a visit to York, Starmer didn’t hold back, accusing Musk of meddling in British politics. He stressed that the grieving family had called for calm and that the British people are generally reasonable and tolerant. “When we have a terrible case like Henry’s, we react calmly, as his family has done,” he said.

On the same day, Badenoch shared on X that she had met with Nowak’s parents and stepmother, praising their bravery. She echoed their plea for political leaders to work together to restore trust in the police, saying, “That trust has been broken because of what happened, and I agree with them on that.” She also pointed out that we need to carefully examine religious practices that allow the carrying of dangerous weapons in public, along with other activities detrimental to public safety.

Digwa, the man responsible for Nowak’s death, was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum of 21 years. After the verdict on Monday, Nowak’s father, Mark, made a heartfelt plea outside the court: “We do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension. We want his story to make our streets safer for everyone.”

Starmer noted that the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) is investigating the officers’ actions, and the National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) is reviewing its guidelines concerning race due to this case. When asked if he supported the Conservatives’ call for a full misconduct investigation into the police officers involved, Starmer stated, “I think it’s right that there may need to be changes… But how we conduct ourselves now as politicians is really important.”

During the Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday, tempers flared as Starmer accused Nigel Farage of exploiting Nowak’s death. Farage suggested that the public should respond with “pure, cold rage,” which didn’t sit well with many. In the Commons, Farage faced heckling from opposition MPs demanding he denounce the protests in Southampton while reiterating his claims that anti-racism policies led to differential treatment of ethnic groups by police.

Starmer, clearly frustrated, pointed out that a grieving family had asked for restraint and not for their tragedy to be used to fuel societal division. “Exploiting this tragedy to create grievance and division would be wrong in any circumstances,” he emphasized. “But to do it when the family are expressly saying ‘please don’t’ is unforgivable.”

The situation is tense, and with the police watchdog investigating the case, it raises questions about the future of policing and community relations in the UK. Will this tragic incident lead to meaningful change, or will it just add fuel to the fire of division?

Young Londoners Struggle with Lifetime ISA: Savings in Limbo

Fraser Glen, 35, and his partner Sophie Bauer, 30, had high hopes when they started saving into Lifetime ISAs a few years back. The plan? To finally

Fraser Glen, 35, and his partner Sophie Bauer, 30, had high hopes when they started saving into Lifetime ISAs a few years back. The plan? To finally get on the property ladder in London. But after viewing over 30 properties in central and east London in 2024, they hit a harsh reality. Finding a flat under the Lifetime ISA cap of £450,000 is no easy feat. “People may think we’re talking about luxury, big properties with big bedrooms, multiple properties—that’s not what we were talking about at all,” Fraser shares. “We’re talking about one, two-bedroom flats; the costs significantly more than £450,000 if you want to live within touching distance of central London where lots of us work.”

To buy their “modest two-bedroom flat” in Tower Hamlets for a whopping £521,000, Sophie had to withdraw her money from the LISA, which cost her £3,500. Meanwhile, Fraser decided to keep his cash locked away in the LISA, leaving £50,000 of his savings “in limbo.” He can’t access the funds until he turns 60 without incurring penalties. “This is a savings tool that hindered rather than helped us, which leaves a bad taste,” he laments. Sophie adds, “What you’re either doing is encouraging young people to move out of London where a lot of jobs and opportunities are, and then paying huge amounts to get in on the train, or you have to cash out like we did and take the loss.”

Calvin Kern, just 23, has been saving in the Lifetime ISA for two years, eyeing a two-bedroom property with his girlfriend before he hits the big 3-0. But they’ve had to shift their sights from Stratford to Epping or Edgware, further out in Zones 4 and 5. “It’s more expensive than I thought. We’ve had to change what we’re looking for. It’s a bit frustrating. And if anything, the prices are going to go up.” Calvin believes the withdrawal penalty should be removed. “If you don’t have a safety net in London like a family… some people would be forced to take their money out and lose out on the 25%, which makes the situation even worse.”

Jordan Waite, aged 31, put most of his savings into a Lifetime ISA during the pandemic. In October 2025, he and his partner managed to buy an ex-council flat in Archway for just under the £450,000 cap. Yet, he describes the search as a “massive struggle.” “It’s only when you start looking that you realize quite how little there is,” he emphasizes. Buyers often find themselves compromising on location or facing high service charges. Jordan and his partner were satisfied with their location but had to settle for a flat with an 82-year lease, which they now plan to extend for £10,000. “It poses a bit of a problem when it hits 80 years in terms of remortgaging and whether we could sell it on.”

Helen Knapman, news and investigations editor at MoneySavingExpert, points out that while the Lifetime ISA can help many savers, it needs reform. She highlights that those forced to withdraw their savings because a property exceeds the £450,000 limit can lose part of their money through the 25% withdrawal charge. Knapman is advocating for a “two-pronged approach”—removing the penalty and raising the property price cap, especially in London, where average first-time buyer prices hover around £460,000.

Meanwhile, HMRC’s 25% withdrawal charge on early or unauthorized LISA withdrawals generated about £102 million in revenue in 2024-25. A spokesperson from HM Treasury stated, “The government is committed to making the aspiration of home ownership a reality for as many people as possible and will build the homes this country needs.” Yet, the voices of young Londoners like Fraser, Sophie, Calvin, and Jordan echo a growing concern: how can they secure their future in an increasingly unaffordable city?

Elon Musk: The Billionaire Who Could Become a Trillionaire

Elon Musk is making headlines almost every day, and it seems that the world might soon be calling him a trillionaire. The man behind SpaceX, Tesla, a

Elon Musk is making headlines almost every day, and it seems that the world might soon be calling him a trillionaire. The man behind SpaceX, Tesla, and X (formerly Twitter) has officially become the richest person on the planet. In October 2025, Musk became the first individual to reach a staggering net worth of over half a trillion dollars (£370.9 billion), as reported by Forbes. Just a month later, Tesla’s shareholders greenlit a groundbreaking pay deal that could potentially be valued at $1 trillion. With the anticipated public offering of SpaceX—which builds rockets for space exploration and operates xAI and Starlink—his wealth could soar to approximately $1 trillion.

But it’s not just his business accomplishments that keep him in the news. Musk is also notorious for expressing his views on various topics, particularly politics, through his social media platform. His influence expanded significantly in early 2024 following Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election, where Musk played a pivotal yet controversial role. However, the relationship quickly soured, leading to a public feud that grabbed even more headlines. And it’s not just American politics that Musk has dabbled in; his comments about current events in the UK, Germany, and other European nations have sparked outrage among politicians overseas. Analysts have suggested that his political ventures may have negatively impacted Tesla’s sales, which suffered in 2025, partially due to customers turning against him.

Musk’s story begins in Pretoria, South Africa, where he demonstrated a knack for entrepreneurship from a young age. Alongside his brother, he sold homemade chocolate Easter eggs, and at just 12 years old, he created his first computer game. He has openly shared that his childhood was marked by challenges, including his parents’ divorce, bullying, and difficulties in social interactions attributed to Asperger’s Syndrome. Eager to leave home, Musk moved to Canada for college and eventually settled in the U.S., studying economics and physics at the prestigious University of Pennsylvania.

His first wife, writer Justine Musk, remarked in a 2010 essay that even before his wealth, Musk was a determined individual who “did not take no for an answer.” According to her, his competitive spirit did not wane even at home. Musk later dropped out of a physics graduate program at Stanford University to start two tech startups during the 1990s dot-com boom, which included a web software firm and an online banking company that eventually evolved into PayPal, sold to eBay for a whopping $1.5 billion (£1.2 billion) in 2002.

With the fortune he amassed, Musk launched SpaceX, aiming to create a cost-effective alternative to NASA, and took the helm at Tesla, where he became CEO in 2008 after chairing the board. Both companies are credited with revolutionizing their industries, even as they faced near financial collapse at times. In October 2022, Musk acquired the social media platform Twitter, now called X, with a vision to transform it into an “everything app.” However, the value of the platform has plummeted from the $44 billion he originally paid to an estimated $9.4 billion, with some companies severing ties due to concerns about the rise of hate speech on X during his tenure.

Musk has also ventured into the AI sector, initially investing in ChatGPT’s parent company before establishing his own firm, xAI, in 2023, with the lofty goal of “understanding the true nature of the universe.” In February 2024, he took legal action against OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, claiming the organization he helped found strayed from its non-profit, open-source roots by aligning with Microsoft. Yet, a California jury dismissed his lawsuit in May 2026, citing that he had delayed filing it.

Journalist Chris Stokel-Walker describes Musk as someone who “leads by instinct,” raising questions about his long-term vision. Author Ashlee Vance has referred to him as a “confrontational know-it-all” with a significant ego, but also noted his awkwardness in public speaking and dancing. In the media, he has been labeled a mad genius and the biggest troll on X, drawing attention for his grand ambitions as well as ongoing legal troubles related to racial discrimination and the credibility of his claims.

Having been divorced three times, including twice from British actress Talulah Riley, Musk is candid about his flaws, stating, “If you list my sins, I sound like the worst person on Earth.” Despite these contradictions, he has amassed a remarkable fortune. As of October 2025, Musk’s net worth was estimated at around $726 billion, according to Bloomberg, putting him ahead of other tech billionaires like Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Oracle’s Larry Ellison, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, and Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg. If SpaceX’s shares float at the projected price of $135 per share, Musk’s net worth could rise to around $988 billion.

Tesla’s board has also approved a deal that could see Musk earning over $1 trillion if he meets ambitious targets in the next decade, such as increasing Tesla’s value eightfold and selling millions of AI robots and Tesla cars. In 2024, Musk found himself embroiled in a legal battle over a $56 billion pay package from Tesla. A Delaware judge initially rejected his claim, but in December 2025, the Delaware Supreme Court reinstated the package.

Musk, who proudly embraces the title of workaholic, often states that he is not in business merely to generate wealth. His friend Ross Gerber notes that Musk only engages with projects he deems critical for society or humanity. For years, Musk has shied away from political labels, identifying as “half-Democrat, half-Republican” and politically moderate. He has voted for Democratic candidates like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton but has also supported Donald Trump, officially endorsing him for a second term in 2024 after Trump’s assassination attempt.

However, their friendship took a hit after a public disagreement over tax and spending legislation, leading to personal insults exchanged on their respective social media platforms. Musk announced his exit from the White House on May 28, 2025, and although the feud seemed to wane, it remains a hot topic. Musk has previously stated that he views his businesses as a form of philanthropy aimed at addressing significant human challenges, including climate change. Ironically, he has since moderated his stance on climate, tweeting that it is “real, just much slower than alarmists claim.”

As a prominent figure concerned about the potential dangers of super-intelligent AI, Musk has expressed worries that declining birth rates could lead to “not enough people” in the world. He is a father to 14 children—six with his first wife, three with Canadian singer Grimes, four with Shivon Zilis, and one with conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair. After the arrival of his twins with Zilis, he tweeted, “Doing my best to help the underpopulation crisis.”

Meanwhile, St. Clair, who revealed she had given birth to Musk’s child in February 2025, filed a lawsuit against his company xAI in January 2026 after the firm’s tool Grok was allegedly used to create sexualized deepfakes of her on X. The controversies surrounding Musk continue to unfold, and the world is watching closely.

Finding Family: Poppie’s Journey from Care to Love and Support

Poppie was just a child of 10 when her life took a drastic turn. After a breakdown in her relationship with her mother, she found herself placed in a

Poppie was just a child of 10 when her life took a drastic turn. After a breakdown in her relationship with her mother, she found herself placed in a children’s home in Hertfordshire, leaving behind everything she knew. Can you imagine the fear and loneliness of being uprooted at such a young age? She spent nearly eight years in the care system, transitioning from a foster family to a residential home. But the moment she stepped into adulthood last year, a new chapter began, one filled with unexpected love and support.

Now 18, Poppie has formed a bond with Brigitte Marshall, 58, and her son Reuben, 24, who were once her support workers at the care home. Reuben was her key worker and really had her back when it came to her GCSEs, guiding her through the academic maze. Imagine the relief of having someone in your corner during such a stressful time! They now accompany her to medical appointments and even helped her pick a college course. In September, she’s set to start a health and care course, with big dreams of becoming a doctor. “It means so much having Brigitte and her family in my life,” Poppie shares, and you can feel the warmth in her words. She’s even so close to them that she affectionately calls Brigitte “mummy Brigitte.”

But Poppie’s story isn’t the same as everyone else’s. Not everyone leaving care is as fortunate. Many young people experience what’s known as the “cliff edge” — a sudden drop-off of support when they exit the care system. Brigitte recalls the moment she thought about Poppie leaving and facing the world all alone, and it was nothing short of shocking. “When you leave, you get support sorting out housing, finance, and education, but you need more than that.” She emphasizes, “I just wanted her to feel valued, loved, and supported.”

Brigitte, a mother of four, has taken Poppie into her heart as one of her own. There’s another young man, Mackenzie, 20, who also benefited from the Finding Family program, which aims to create lasting connections for those in care. He spent six long years in care after losing his mother and enduring a fractured relationship with his father. Placed in a care home far away from Hertfordshire, Mackenzie felt the distance from his family acutely. His coordinator helped him reconnect with his wider family, including aunts, uncles, cousins, and a half-sister. “It’s wonderful to feel close to them again,” he says. You can sense the relief in his voice as he reflects on his past traumas. He admits he sometimes needs time to himself but acknowledges that without those connections, his life would feel incomplete.

The support that Poppie and Mackenzie have received is part of a broader initiative by the government aimed at reaching all 80,000 children in care. The Department for Education has pumped funding into 25 local areas, hiring coordinators to assist children in re-establishing or forming new relationships with trusted adults. This can include reconnecting with estranged family members or forging stronger ties with teachers and former coaches. During the pilot phase, young people who received support made an average of nearly two meaningful relationships, with over a third reconnecting with family members.

Yet, while some areas are making strides, support remains inconsistent. The government plans to allocate £8.4 million over the next three years to ensure all children in care and those transitioning out receive this vital support. Children’s minister Josh MacAlister hopes these efforts will help young people “achieve and thrive.” But the reality is stark — many young people leaving care are three times more likely to be out of education, employment, or training, and a third end up homeless within two years.

Cathy Ashley, head of the Family Rights Group, warns that while these initiatives are a “brilliant start,” there are still “huge challenges” to overcome. “The state system has fundamentally failed for so long, that is why the outcomes for these young people are so poor,” she points out. There’s a pressing need for more housing and employment support, and the community must rally to keep building on these foundations if we are to turn the tide for these vulnerable youths.

As we look ahead, the question lingers: will these changes be enough to ensure no child leaves care without the support they desperately need? The journey continues, and we’ll be here to follow every step of the way.

Man City Takes Action After Real Madrid Candidate’s Haaland Claim

Manchester City is considering legal action following an incident that unfolded live on television during Real Madrid’s presidential election campai

Manchester City is considering legal action following an incident that unfolded live on television during Real Madrid’s presidential election campaign. A candidate boldly unveiled an Erling Haaland shirt, sparking wild speculation about the Norwegian striker’s potential move to Spain. In response, Manchester City swiftly dismissed these claims, reiterating their commitment to keeping the talented forward at the club.

The live unveiling of the Haaland shirt caught many off guard, with the candidate declaring it a promise to the fans. This unexpected move was seen as an attempt to sway voters in his favor, but City was quick to clarify where they stand. “Our position is clear: Erling is not going anywhere,” a club spokesperson emphasized, aiming to quash any rumors that might be swirling in the media.

The situation has raised eyebrows not only among fans but also in football circles, as Haaland has been one of the most sought-after players since his arrival at City. With his remarkable goal-scoring record, it’s no surprise that clubs like Real Madrid would be interested. However, City’s management is reportedly furious about the implications of the candidate’s statements, insisting they will take the necessary steps to protect their interests.

Yahu, this kind of drama isn’t unusual in football, but the stakes are higher than ever. Fans are left wondering what could happen next. Will the candidate face consequences for his bold claims? And what about Haaland’s future? It’s a developing story that has everyone talking.

As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how both clubs will navigate this unexpected twist in the transfer saga. Bakın ne oldu, Real Madrid’in başkanlık seçimleri futbol dünyasında bir yeri daha sarsacak gibi görünüyor. Gelişmeleri takip ediyoruz…

SpaceX Açıkladı: Hisseleri 135 Dolar Olacak, Değeri 1.75 Trilyon Dolar!

Elon Musk’ın uzay keşif şirketi SpaceX, planladığı halka arz öncesinde hisse fiyatını açıkladı. Bu fiyat, şirketin değerini yaklaşık

Elon Musk’ın uzay keşif şirketi SpaceX, planladığı halka arz öncesinde hisse fiyatını açıkladı. Bu fiyat, şirketin değerini yaklaşık 1.75 trilyon dolara çıkaracak. Önümüzdeki 12 Haziran’da Nasdaq borsa indeksinde işlem görmeye başlaması beklenen SpaceX, hisse başına 135 dolar (100 sterlin) fiyat belirledi. Bu, şirketin daha önceki 1.25 trilyon dolarlık değerlemesinden büyük bir artış anlamına geliyor. Ancak, bu fiyatın kesinleşmediğini, alıcıların nihai kararı vereceğini unutmayalım… Yani fiyat yukarı da çıkabilir, aşağı da inebilir.

SpaceX, uzay roketleri ve altyapı inşası yapmanın yanı sıra xAI ve Starlink gibi diğer teknolojilere de sahip. Hisse fiyatını bir haftadan fazla bir süre önce açıklaması alışılmadık bir durum. Genelde şirketler, borsa işlemine başlamadan bir gün önce hisse fiyatlarını duyuruyor. İşte bu yüzden SpaceX’in bu hamlesi, borsa tarihindeki en erken fiyat tahminleri arasında yer alıyor. Şirket, bu halka arzla 75 milyar dolar toplamayı hedefliyor ki bu da mevcut rekoru elinde bulunduran Suudi Aramco’nun 25.6 milyar dolarlık 2019’daki halka arzını geride bırakacak.

Hisse fiyatı 135 doları aşarsa, SpaceX dünyanın en değerli şirketlerinden biri haline gelecek. Ve Elon Musk, SpaceX’teki %80’den fazla hissesiyle bir trilyoner olma yolunda ilerleyecek. Ancak, bu sonuç kesin değil. Dealogic’ten alınan verilere göre, son 30 yılda halka açılan şirketlerin neredeyse yarısı, listeleme fiyatından daha düşük bir değere sahip oldu. Yani, işin aslı pek de iç açıcı değil…

Samuel Kerr, Mergermarket’in öz sermaye piyasa araştırmaları başkanı, SpaceX’in değerlemesinin “inanılmaz derecede yüksek” olduğunu belirtti. SpaceX, satışlarına göre kendini, yatırımcıların “Mag 7” olarak adlandırdığı Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Nvidia, Microsoft ve Musk’ın diğer şirketi Tesla’dan daha yüksek bir oranla fiyatlandırıyor. Ancak, bazı yatırımcıların gelecekteki kazanç ve gelir beklentileri üzerinden değerlendirme yapabileceğini de ekledi. Geçtiğimiz yıl, SpaceX 18.6 milyar dolar gelir elde etti fakat 4.9 milyar dolarlık bir net kayıp yaşadı. Bu yılın ilk üç ayında ise 4.7 milyar dolarlık satış yaptı ancak net kaybı 4.3 milyar dolara ulaştı.

SpaceX’in bilançosunda 102 milyar dolar değerinde varlık bulunuyor, ki bunlar roketler ve diğer ekipmanları içeriyor. Ancak, 60.5 milyar dolarlık bir borç yükü de mevcut. Uzay keşfi dışında, şirket yapay zeka, sosyal medya, uzaya dayalı internet hizmetleri ve veri merkezlerine de yoğun yatırımlar yapıyor. Bu yıl başında, Musk’ın bir başka şirketi olan xAI’yi satın aldı. xAI, Grok chatbotu ile tanınan bir firma. Musk, uzayda altyapı geliştirmenin, yapay zeka için gerekli kaynakları güvence altına almak adına en iyi yol olduğunu düşünüyor. Çünkü, yeryüzünde arazi sınırlı. Uzayda AI uyduları fırlatma ve sonunda yörüngede veri merkezleri inşa etme planları var.

Laurence Pevsner, Lux Capital’dan bir ortak, SpaceX’in artık bir lansman şirketi olmanın ötesine geçtiğini, bir sosyal medya şirketi ve yapay zeka laboratuvarı haline geldiğini belirtti. “AI laboratuvarı, değerlemenin artmasında büyük rol oynuyor ama bu, hissedarlar için riskli bir bahis,” dedi. SpaceX’in halka arzı, diğer teknoloji devleri de yapay zeka harcamalarını finanse etmek için daha fazla nakit toplamaya çalışırken geldi. Bu hafta, yapay zeka firması Anthropic, bu yıl içinde halka arz planlarını açıkladı. Google’ın sahibi Alphabet ise AI yatırımları için 80 milyar dolar toplamak istediğini duyurdu. OpenAI’nin de bu yıl halka açılmayı düşündüğü iddia ediliyor.

Bakalım bundan sonra ne olacak? SpaceX’in hisseleri ne durumda olacak, merakla bekliyoruz…

Spain’s Startup Scene Struggles with Funding Challenges and Talent Management

The startup ecosystem is facing a crucial reality check at the Ibiza Tech Forum 2026. Pilar Carrato, the Chief Financial Officer of the Centre for the Development of Technology and Innovation (CDTI), highlighted the pressing issues that startups in Spain encounter when seeking funding and scaling their businesses. At the forum, she emphasized that beyond the big ideas and technological disruptions, the real viability of any early-stage project hinges on its financial architecture and scalability potential.

Carrato, who has a wealth of experience in this area, pointed out that many startups make the fundamental mistake of lacking a strategic focus when it comes to capital acquisition. “They need to know what stage they are at and who they should be approaching, otherwise they are going to waste a lot of time,” she warned. This is crucial because private investors are not just hunting for a profitable business; they want models that can demonstrate a clear path toward scalability and profitability, often represented by that elusive J-shaped curve. This curve typically shows an initial dip in cash flow, accompanied by increased investments, followed by a surge in revenues without a parallel rise in operating costs.

When it comes to attracting backers, Carrato stressed three non-negotiable ingredients that can enhance a startup’s attractiveness: a multidisciplinary ecosystem, a clearly defined operational structure, and a commitment to solving real market needs. “Turning a local idea into a global one means moving beyond self-employment,” she explained, underscoring the need for distinct roles in technology, strategy, sales, and finance.

“Yahu, there are some brilliant ideas out there, but if they don’t address a real market need, the startup will fall by the wayside,” she added. This is an important point, especially in an era dominated by artificial intelligence. Founders must stay informed about similar solutions being developed globally; ignorance can undermine any pitch.

Carrato’s analysis revealed a significant bottleneck in the Spanish startup landscape: a logjam in exits. Many investors step into the scene but then find themselves trapped with no viable exit strategy. She attributes this issue to a cultural problem within Spanish companies. “Over the past two decades, barely ten startups have been acquired by major domestic corporations,” she noted. Unlike other markets, neither large corporate players nor Spanish pension funds are buying local technology, which ultimately “dries up” private investors who can’t recycle their capital back into the system.

To tackle this market failure, Carrato argues for the need to streamline regulations, provide tax incentives, and ease access to secondary markets. From her perspective as CFO, instilling discipline from day one is absolutely critical for a startup’s success. If milestones are poorly planned, founders may find themselves jumping from one funding round to the next, losing focus on their product.

Moreover, she warns that if a company’s initial corporate structure is poorly designed, it can obliterate the value of a great idea. “I know companies with good CFOs that have tripled their sales, and equally good products that disappear because they were financed the wrong way and their founders signed up for things they shouldn’t have,” Carrato said.

Given that Spain lacks the robust private financial muscle seen in other countries, Carrato advocates for blending resources. This is where the CDTI steps in to mitigate risk. “We provide a leverage effect. If you need 2 million euros and the private investor is only willing to put up one, the public sector can cover the rest,” she explained.

Her final words of wisdom for founders looking for funding this year are straightforward: they should carefully explore all options, ranging from CDTI grants to Enisa’s participatory loans and long-term support through instruments like ICO or Cofides. But she also issued a crucial caveat: “You need to be absolutely sure who you are marrying. Bringing a fund on board is a long-term marriage; it is vital to look closely at the terms you are signing to avoid parting ways in a traumatic divorce.”
