Musk Projects SpaceX $1 Trillion Revenue by 2030 After $2 Trillion IPO
3 articles · Updated · Reuters · Jun 15
Summary
Two days after SpaceX's IPO valued it above $2 trillion, Elon Musk said the rocket company could generate $1 trillion in revenue by 2030 and even more in 2031.
That target sits far above Wall Street forecasts: Goldman Sachs had estimated more than $470 billion in 2030 revenue, while Morgan Stanley projected nearly $330 billion.
SpaceX's latest reported results show why analysts remain cautious — 2025 revenue rose to $18.67 billion from $14.02 billion, but the company swung to a $4.94 billion net loss from a $791 million profit.
The listing made SpaceX the sixth-largest U.S. company and helped cement Musk's status as the world's first trillionaire, even as the business still generates far less revenue than similarly valued peers such as Amazon and Broadcom.

Overview
SpaceX’s historic IPO on June 12, 2026, instantly created massive wealth for early investors and thousands of employees, as their shares and options soared in value. Despite not being profitable and thus ineligible for the S&P 500, SpaceX is set to join the Nasdaq 100 within a month, thanks to revised fast-entry rules. This rapid index inclusion is expected to drive strong demand for its shares, making SpaceX a major holding for many funds. The IPO marks a turning point, not just for the company, but for the broader space and tech industries, signaling new opportunities and challenges ahead.
