Elon Musk One Step Away from Becoming History's First Trillionaire

Business

Just three days after a bruising courtroom defeat against OpenAI and Sam Altman, the billionaire’s aerospace empire, SpaceX, has officially filed for an Initial Public Offering (IPO). This historic market debut will not only cement the corporation’s trillion-dollar valuation but is also guaranteed to elevate Musk as history's first-ever trillionaire, wielding unprecedented personal wealth.

Elon Musk One Step Away from Becoming History's First Trillionaire
Aerospace giant SpaceX has officially filed for an IPO, with investment banking titan Goldman Sachs tapped as the lead underwriter, CNBC reports. In February of this year, following a strategic merger with Musk's artificial intelligence startup xAI, SpaceX’s market valuation reached a staggering $1.25 trillion. Against this backdrop, Elon Musk’s personal controlling stake in the company is valued at over $600 billion.

Given that Musk's net worth already set a global record by clearing the $500 billion mark in 2025, the public listing is set to catapult the entrepreneur into becoming the world's first official trillionaire. Remarkably, the move toward an IPO comes immediately after Musk lost a high-profile lawsuit against OpenAI, where he had accused Sam Altman of breach of trust for shifting the venture to a for-profit structure after Musk invested millions into its inception.
