SpaceX, Elon Musk’s groundbreaking aerospace company, is reportedly in talks to sell insider shares, potentially pushing its valuation to an eye-popping $350 billion. If finalized, this would mark a dramatic leap from its $210 billion valuation during a tender offer earlier this year and surpass the previously speculated $255 billion figure reported last month. Such a milestone would solidify SpaceX’s position as the world’s most valuable private startup.
This tender or secondary offering provides an avenue for employees and early investors to cash in on their holdings, bringing liquidity to those invested in the company. While discussions are still ongoing, insiders note that the final terms of the transaction could evolve based on interest levels among buyers and sellers.

The move underscores the staggering growth of Musk’s enterprises in recent months. Following the U.S. presidential election, Tesla’s shares surged by 42%, bolstering Musk’s personal fortune to an estimated $353 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. The potential valuation of SpaceX would place it alongside some of the world’s largest publicly traded companies in terms of market capitalization.

Founded as Space Exploration Technologies Corp., SpaceX has consistently pushed the boundaries of aerospace innovation. The company is renowned for its advancements in reusable rocket technology, a sprawling constellation of Starlink satellites, and ambitious plans for Mars colonization. SpaceX’s groundbreaking work has captivated investors, fuelling its meteoric rise in the private sector.

Although SpaceX hasn’t publicly commented on these discussions, this development reflects Musk's growing influence in both the tech and space industries. As the company’s valuation soars, it highlights the unmatched potential of private startups to achieve monumental success in sectors traditionally dominated by government agencies.
