I would feel better as an investor if money-hemorraging xAI was not shoved onto the balance sheet of SpaceX prior to the filing.

May open near 200, tbh. There is an absolute frenzy. The problem is that unlike most IPOs insiders can sell a lot sooner than 180 days.

BREAKING: The SpaceX, $SPCX, IPO will be quoted at 9:50 AM ET today and begin trading at 10:00 AM ET.

Currently, the stock is indicated to open ~25% higher, making SpaceX the 7th largest public company in the world and Elon Musk the first trillionaire in history.

IPO: With SpaceX public under $SPCX, Elon Musk is now twice as wealthy as John D Rockefeller in inflation-adjusted terms. The only person in history ahead of him is Augustus Caesar at $4.6 trillion. LFG!

Today is the day $GOOGL watches its $900M $SPCX investment from more than a decade ago turn into potentially north of $100B.

From Google:

Elon Musk is now officially the world's first trillionaire following the record-breaking initial public offering (IPO) of SpaceX on June 12, 2026. His net worth climbed past the $1 trillion mark as SpaceX shares debuted at $135 each.

I don't think I'll be investing in SPCX, but I do think I'll start an "AI Astronaut" program on Github. Coming soon to a launch pad near you!

I may not have $$ to invest, but I can invest some time. :)

AOC will condemn. She has already said that no one EARNS that kind of money.
Typical commie trash position.

I may smack myself for passing, but I’m told old to risk capital if this goes south.

I’m not planning on working longer to make it back.

I know what you mean. Hubby and I will probably buy a share or two for the grandkids, but we aren’t betting the farm on it. And, we aren’t buying today.

SpaceX sold 555 million shares in its IPO.

Today, over 514 million shares were traded.

Nearly an entire IPO’s worth of stock changed hands in a single day.

You might want to wait a bit before buying SPCX stock. There’s a lockup period before insiders and pre-IPO investors can start selling their shares, but once those periods expire a lot of stock can become available.

It looks like SpaceX will allow employees to begin selling their shares just weeks after the IPO. Big institutional holders will have to wait until 366 days pass, but then huge blocks could hit the market.

IPO mania could make SPCX shares double in short order but I wouldn’t chase it. Maybe buy one share just for fun. For the first year it’s probably going to be a SpaceX casino.

There’s a number of smaller ancillary companies that supply and partner with SpaceX. Those are worth looking at.
