SpaceX\u2019s acquisition of Musk\u2019s xAI in February valued the combined company at $1.25 trillion.<\/p>\n<p>At more than $2 trillion, SpaceX would rank among the world\u2019s most valuable publicly traded companies, exceeding the market value of Meta and Tesla and trailing only Nvidia, Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft and Amazon in the S&amp;P 500.<\/p>\n<p>Bloomberg previously reported that SpaceX had confidentially filed for an IPO that could take place in June, initially targeting a valuation of more than $1.75 trillion. The listing could be among a wave of major offerings, including potential debuts by OpenAI and Anthropic, rivals to xAI\u2019s chatbot Grok.<\/p>\n<p>The IPO could raise as much as $75 billion, according to Bloomberg, far surpassing Saudi Aramco\u2019s $29 billion listing in 2019, currently the largest on record.<\/p>\n<p>Proceeds are expected to fund Musk\u2019s capital-intensive plans, including space-based artificial intelligence data centers and a factory on the moon.<\/p>\n<p>Musk also said in March that his Terafab project, aimed at producing chips for robotics, artificial intelligence and space-based data centers, would eventually be jointly operated by Tesla and SpaceX.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ap-article-footer-note\">Find more news and analyses on <span class=\"ap-highlight-country\">Tanzania<\/span> on the <span class=\"ap-highlight-brand\">Africa Press<\/span> website<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Tanzania.
