SpaceX can be defined in many ways.
SpaceX is a financial instrument for Musk.
Before the IPO, SpaceX acquired xAI, Musk’s artificial-intelligence company, which itself acquired X, the social-media site, back in 2025.
The maneuver allowed SpaceX to claim that it believed it had “the largest actionable total addressable market in human history”:

Well, she says, the average person’s experience of space is about to change.

perhaps noticing the occasional streaking object that was not a shooting star,
now “there are plans for tens of thousands more satellites, which would really change your relationship with what you see in the sky”.

Elon Musk became the world’s first trillionaire on Friday
