SpaceX Makes Record $75 Billion Sale
SpaceX is a rocket company owned by Elon Musk. It has sold its shares to the public. The price is $135 for each share. The company raised $75 billion. This is the biggest stock sale ever. It will start trading on Friday.
SpaceX makes rockets and runs Starlink. Starlink gives internet from space. Now people can buy parts of the company. But Musk still keeps most of the control. Some experts say the price is too high. They think each share is worth much less.
Many people still want to buy the shares. They asked for much more than there were. But most small buyers will not get any. SpaceX lost money in 2025. Even so, people are very excited about the company.
