SpaceX raises $75 billion in history's biggest IPO, minting Musk a trillionaire.
SpaceX officially prices shares at $135 in the largest IPO ever
SpaceX has made history. Elon Musk's space and AI conglomerate has officially raised $75 billion through its initial public offering, pricing 555.6 million shares at $135 each. The deal marks the largest IPO in history, easily surpassing Saudi Aramco's $24.9 billion raise during its 2019 public markets debut. Trading begins Friday on the Nasdaq stock exchange under the ticker symbol SPCX.
The pricing process itself was unconventional. Rather than following traditional IPO procedures, SpaceX began testing its $135 price target with investors before the official roadshow even kicked off. The move paid off — demand reportedly came in at four times the number of available shares. Given the overwhelming interest, underwriters hold an option to release an additional 83.3 million shares, which would bring in another $11 billion at the opening price.
As trading gets underway, the share price could move in either direction. However, early signals are bullish. Hyperliquid, a crypto prediction market offering synthetic exposure to SpaceX stock, currently prices shares at $167 — implying traders expect a roughly 20% pop on the first day of trading, a classic sign of a hot IPO.
The biggest winner from the offering is Musk himself. He holds just under 850 million Class A shares, each carrying one vote. On top of that, he is entitled to 5.6 billion Class B shares, which carry 10 votes each. Included in that figure is one billion shares tied to a long-shot milestone: a million people living in a SpaceX colony on Mars. At the IPO price, the listing is widely expected to make Musk the world's first trillionaire.
Other major shareholders are also set for enormous windfalls. Antonio Gracias, founder and CEO of Valor Management, will receive 503.4 million shares — a position worth nearly $68 billion at the IPO price. SpaceX board member and investor Luke Nosek owns 33 million shares, while Chief Operating Officer Gwynne Shotwell holds nearly 12.6 million shares.
The IPO also closes a lucrative chapter for the roughly 400 venture capital firms that backed SpaceX during its two decades as a private company. Over that period, the company raised approximately $40 billion in private capital. Many of those early backers are now set to see extraordinary returns on their investments.
A large pool of smaller investors who gained exposure to SpaceX through special purpose vehicles (SPVs) will also benefit. However, due to the structural complexity of these investment vehicles, some may not know the precise size of their gains until months after the public debut.
Looking further ahead, questions remain about how SpaceX will sustain and justify its massive valuation over time. The company's engineering ambitions are as vast as ever — from operating the world's largest reusable rocket program to building a new American semiconductor fabrication facility. Delivering on those promises while meeting the expectations of public market investors will be no small task.
For now, though, SpaceX's market debut stands as a landmark moment — not just for the company, but for the entire history of public markets.

DoorDash launches AI chatbot for ordering food and groceries using text and photos.
DoorDash's new AI chatbot lets you order with prompts and photos
DoorDash has introduced "Ask DoorDash," an AI chatbot that lets users order food and groceries using natural language and photos. Instead of scrolling through menus, users can describe their cravings, share a recipe link, or upload a grocery list photo to build a cart automatically.
The chatbot also suggests restaurants based on preferences like budget, group size, and dietary needs. It even supports reservation searches, helping users find the perfect dining spot. Currently rolling out on iOS in select U.S. regions, it will expand nationwide in the coming weeks.

⚡ Trends for the Future
Theker just raised $85M to build the factory robot that doesn't specialize in anything
Barcelona startup Theker raises $85M to build adaptable factory robots for any task.
Humanoids aren't ready to replace factory workers yet, but manufacturers can't afford to wait. Labor shortages are pushing the industry toward faster automation solutions, and Barcelona-based startup Theker is positioning itself as the answer — with an ambitious twist.
Unlike most industrial robots built to repeat a single task, Theker's machines are designed to be reconfigured. Their arms, hands, and overall form can be swapped out depending on what needs doing, whether that's sorting packages, packing clothing, or handling warehouse inventory. "If you always have to put the same cookie in the same box, that works perfectly, but most processes aren't like that," said co-founder Carla Gómez Cano.
That generalist approach has attracted serious attention. Inditex, Zara's parent company, signed on as an early backer, and Theker has now closed an $85 million Series A — what it's calling Europe's largest ever robotics Series A. The round was led by American VC firm CRV and included Samsung and Aglaé Ventures, the investment vehicle tied to LVMH chairman Bernard Arnault. Samsung is not yet a client, but advanced discussions are underway, and Theker sees a future where the tech giant serves as customer, supplier, and investor simultaneously.
The startup's ambitions stretch well beyond retail. Theker is eyeing heavier industrial and manufacturing environments where manual tasks are more complex and the scale is far greater. To prove it can deliver, the company has opened a showroom in central Barcelona and plans to expand across Europe, the U.S., and Asia.
Notably, Theker raised more than double its original target, a vote of confidence that also reinforces the founders' decision to keep their headquarters in Barcelona. "It has never been a barrier to acceleration for us," Gómez Cano said. The team, currently in the dozens, could grow to 120 people by year's end — already fielding over 15,000 job applications. For a startup that skips innovation pilots and goes straight to operations, the momentum appears very real.
