Core Viewpoint - Investors are eagerly awaiting SpaceX's initial public offering (IPO), with Elon Musk planning to merge SpaceX with xAI, potentially raising $50 billion and achieving a valuation of $1.5 trillion, which would set a record for the largest single IPO in history [2]. Financial Overview - SpaceX's revenue for the previous year was approximately $15 billion, with an EBITDA of around $8 billion. However, reports indicate a loss of $2.4 billion for the first nine months of 2025 [2][3]. - The financial data does not account for interest and depreciation expenses, suggesting that SpaceX's earnings under GAAP may be zero or negative [3].
