SpaceX Reaches 84% U.S. Recognition Ahead of IPO as 29% Say They Would Buy Shares
3 articles · Updated · Reuters · Jun 11
Summary
84% of Americans say they know SpaceX, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found, putting the pre-IPO company on par with Boeing and ahead of several prominent 2028 presidential hopefuls.
29% said they would likely buy SpaceX stock if offered, a notable signal as the company reportedly plans to reserve up to 30% of the deal for retail investors and could be valued above $1 trillion.
SpaceX's visibility reflects its central role in U.S. space operations: it is the only American company flying astronauts to the ISS, is building NASA's moon lander, and launches most Pentagon satellites.
49% of Americans view SpaceX favorably, but support splits sharply by party—74% among Republicans versus 32% among Democrats—showing how closely the company is tied to Elon Musk's political profile.
