Elon Musk has affirmed the latest speculation surrounding SpaceX’s public offering plans, indicating that reports of a 2026 IPO are on target.
Responding to an analysis by Ars Technica’s Eric Berger—who evaluated the timing and factors propelling the anticipated listing—Musk stated on his social media platform X, “As usual, Eric is accurate.”
Berger’s commentary, which examined the impact of accelerating artificial intelligence developments and the burgeoning potential for space-based data centers, concluded that the environment is ripe for SpaceX to enter the public markets.
Confirmation of the timeline comes as leading outlets, including The Information and The Wall Street Journal, recently reported on SpaceX’s prospective IPO as well as a new share sale pegging the company’s valuation at approximately $800 billion. Bloomberg added this week that Musk’s space company is seeking to raise over $30 billion through the offering.
SpaceX continues to play a critical role as a primary contractor for NASA, managing a range of high-profile missions.
