Could SpaceX become the first super unicorn company to go public this year?
Recently, I've seen a lot of discussion about whether SpaceX will go public. I'd like to share my thoughts. Although SpaceX is well-positioned in the rapidly developing aerospace industry, both SpaceX and Elon Musk have repeatedly stated that they have no plans to go public in the short term. They believe that an IPO would create short-term performance pressure, which would be detrimental to their long-term, high-risk space goals (especially the Mars program). SpaceX will only go public after substantial progress has been made on the Mars program. In my opinion, SpaceX doesn't lack funding; it collaborates with several private equity firms and national defense agencies. Its current valuation has already reached super-unicorn levels. A SpaceX IPO is not a matter of time, but a strategic decision. Of course, Starlink could also go public separately, and I believe the likelihood of a Starlink IPO is far higher than that of SpaceX. Therefore, I am very optimistic about Starlink's short-term prospects. Although I know many people dislike Musk, including myself, we are here to make money, so I hope everyone will express their opinions rationally. Thank you.
