SpaceX is public: Everything you need to know post-IPO

SpaceX has captured the attention of media, investors, and the public for years now — interest propelled by the company’s reusable rocket launches and the rise of its Starlink satellite network, and, of course, for its founder and CEO Elon Musk. But in its 24-year history, nothing quite compared to its initial public offering. Everyone seemed interested — perhaps because of the sheer size of the IPO. The company priced its 555.6 million shares at $135 each to raise $75 billion, making it the largest IPO in history and turning Musk into the world’s first trillionaire . That total raised figure would end up ballooning to $85.7 billion raised.
