$100.8 billion in cash was disclosed as SpaceX formally launched its first senior unsecured bond offering, with shares falling about 5% on Monday.

The bond deal follows SpaceX's June 12 IPO, which raised nearly $86 billion after the greenshoe option and helped make Elon Musk the first trillionaire.
Shares had surged after the listing, briefly pushing SpaceX's market value past Amazon and already above Broadcom, Meta Platforms and Tesla.
