He suggested that few companies in history have generated comparable interest, noting that demand appears exceptionally strong and the likelihood of a successful outcome remains high given the structure and leadership behind it.<blockquote>“There are very few businesses that have ever looked like this. There is a very high probability that this would be sought after and successful.”-Eric Mandl, Senior Managing Director, Guggenheim Securities</blockquote>According to a Financial Times&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.ft.com/content/37a14f36-77f6-413e-a4d5-b05cefbddfb1?syn-25a6b1a6=1">report</a>, SpaceX has informed backers it intends to target roughly $75 billion from its debut listing, a sharp increase from a previously discussed $50 billion goal.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">Transformational Companies Attract Capital</h2>Market strategists point to a growing trend among individual investors seeking early access to high-growth private firms. Jay Woods of Freedom Capital Markets said retail participants are increasingly eager to invest before companies debut on public exchanges, where early stakeholders often capitalize on gains. He emphasized that fear of missing out is driving enthusiasm, especially with Elon Musk leading the combined entity.Tom Lee of Fundstrat Global Advisors compared SpaceX and xAI to other groundbreaking firms such as OpenAI and Anthropic, describing them as rare enterprises that influence the global economy.&nbsp;<blockquote>“The dont exist anywhere else in the world. These companies going public is not only good for equity markets it is a chance for investors to own really unique companies.”-Tom Lee, Head of Research, Fundstrat Global Advisors</blockquote>He noted that bringing such companies closer to public markets could offer investors access to businesses unlike traditional listings.

SpaceX IPO Buzz Builds: Analysts Highlight Rare Opportunity And Rising Retail FOMO

Analysts say the potential $75B debut could become one of the most sought-after listings in market history.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>SpaceX is reportedly preparing to file its IPO prospectus as soon as this week or next, targeting a potential June listing.</li><li>Future Fund managing partner Gary Black warned that Tesla investors may sell shares to fund participation in the SpaceX IPO, even without a merger.</li><li>Black expects a “clean” SpaceX IPO with no plans to acquire Tesla.</li></ul>Shares of Tesla, Inc. (TSLA) rose nearly 1% in after-hours trading on Tuesday after reports emerged that SpaceX — also led by Elon Musk — is planning to file its IPO prospectus as soon as this week or next. At least one top analyst has warned that the record-sized listing could prompt some Tesla shareholders to rotate out of TSLA to participate in the offering.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/TSLA">TSLA stock</a> rose nearly 1% on Tuesday, marking its second consecutive session of gains.<h2 class="st-heading-2">SpaceX Targets June IPO With Potential $75B Raise</h2>SpaceX is targeting a potential June public listing, with advisers expecting the offering could raise more than $75 billion, above earlier estimates near $50 billion, The Information&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.theinformation.com/articles/spacex-aims-file-ipo-soon-week?rc=prcjzy">reported</a>, citing a person with knowledge of the matter. An IPO of that size would exceed the amount raised by all U.S. listings last year combined, according to Renaissance Capital.The company was last valued at about $1.25 trillion following its recent merger with xAI, the developer of the Grok chatbot. Both SpaceX and Tesla separately invested $2 billion in xAI, and Tesla has received regulatory clearance to convert its investment into a stake in SpaceX following the transaction.SpaceX has also explored a potential combination with Tesla as well as an alternative tie-up with xAI, adding to concerns about how the companies could remain interconnected. The final valuation and offering size will supposedly be determined closer to pricing.Musk has also pushed for unusually broad retail participation in the offering. Individual investors could reportedly receive more than 20% of IPO shares, compared with roughly 10% typically allocated in most listings.Major banks, including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup have been preparing IPO plans, though formal roles have apparently not yet been finalized.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Analyst Says SpaceX IPO May Pull Investors From Tesla</h2>Gary Black, managing partner at The Future Fund,&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/garyblack00/status/2036555777901732178">said on X</a> that the scale of the planned offering could influence trading in Tesla shares, even without a merger. “TSLA shareholders that want to participate in the SpaceX IPO would sell some of their TSLA shares to fund their SpaceX investment,” he said.Black added that expectations SpaceX could go public and then use newly issued equity to acquire Tesla are “fooling themselves,” arguing institutional demand would likely weaken if investors anticipated a large post-IPO stock-funded acquisition.“Shareholders hate when companies use equity to buy other companies,” he said, citing the past acquisition attempt involving Netflix and Warner Bros. Discovery as an example of investor resistance to dilution-driven deals. “I know very few institutional holders who will invest in a SpaceX IPO if they expect SpaceX to then turn around and dilute them by buying TSLA,” he said<h2 class="st-heading-2">Black Sees ‘Clean’ SpaceX IPO As Most Likely Scenario</h2>Black said the more likely scenario is a “clean” SpaceX IPO at roughly a $1.5 trillion valuation, raising about $50 billion, which would make it the largest listing in corporate history, surpassing the record set by Saudi Aramco at $25.6 billion.By “clean,” he said SpaceX could indicate in its registration filing that there are “no current plans” to acquire Tesla following the listing, helping support investor demand and reduce litigation risk.His comments follow&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/tesla-stock-slips-premarket-analyst-warns-spacex-merger-could-erase-750b-value/cZ3md5xRI0G">earlier warnings</a> that a Tesla-SpaceX deal could imply roughly 25% downside for Tesla shareholders under what he described as the “lowest-multiple rule.” “In my 30 years as a professional investor,” Black said, “I have rarely seen post-merger companies trade at blended multiples,” adding that “a Tesla-SpaceX merger is a solution looking for a problem.”<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Did Stocktwits Users React?</h2>On Stocktwits, retail sentiment toward Tesla and xAI was ‘bearish’ amid ‘high’ message volume, while sentiment toward SpaceX was ‘bullish’ amid ‘extremely high’ message volume.<figure class="image"><img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/tsla_ss_png_95da79a377.webp" alt="tsla ss.png" width="973" height="149"><figcaption>TSLA sentiment and message volume as of March 24 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>TSLA stock, the only publicly traded Musk-linked company available to investors today, has gained about 38% over the past year.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Elon Musk Says He Won't Profit From OpenAI Lawsuit — Even As Judge Questions Massive $134B Damages Claim

Musk's expert witness claims his $38 million donation accounted for up to 75% of OpenAI's not-for-profit value. While a California judge called the number unconvincing, a jury will now decide the outcome.

The investment would translate into a stake of less than 1% in SpaceX for Tesla.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Musk’s Empire Moves Closer Ahead Of SpaceX IPO</h2>The deal underscores a broader reshaping of Elon Musk’s business empire as SpaceX prepares for a potential IPO that could become one of the largest in history.Musk’s companies, spanning electric vehicles, rockets, artificial intelligence and social media, are increasingly interconnected through investments and shared technology strategies. Last month, SpaceX confirmed it would acquire xAI in a deal valuing the AI startup at about $125 billion and SpaceX at roughly $1 trillion, with Musk calling the combination an “innovation engine” that brings together AI, space infrastructure, and satellite internet.Tesla had previously announced a $2 billion investment in xAI, positioning the AI company as part of its future robotics and automation plans. Musk has also discussed potential links between his companies’ technologies, including using Tesla energy systems to power space-based data centers and Starship rockets to transport Tesla’s Optimus robots.In January, SpaceX reportedly explored potential mergers with Tesla or xAI as part of discussions to consolidate Musk’s companies ahead of a listing. Tesla remains the only publicly traded firm among Musk’s major ventures.<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Did Stocktwits Users React?</h2>On Stocktwits, retail sentiment for TSLA was ‘bullish’ amid ‘high’ message volume.<figure class="image"><img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/tsla_ss_png_a170b0574d.webp" alt="tsla ss.png" width="969" height="140"><figcaption>TSLA sentiment and message volume as of March 12 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>One user&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/trumpdisasterprez/message/647414366">noted</a>, “$2 billion investment divided by 3 billion shares outstanding = 65 cent investment per share of Tesler.

(TSLA)&nbsp;and xAI, announced on Wednesday that both companies have teamed up to develop a new AI initiative called Macrohard, also referred to as Digital Optimus.&nbsp;In a&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/2031751255060885911">post</a> on the X platform, Musk said the project is part of Tesla’s investment agreement with xAI and aims to create a highly responsive, real-time AI system that can interpret and act on digital inputs almost instantly.<h2 class="st-heading-2">The System Relies On Grok</h2>At the heart of the project is Grok, an AI described as the director of Digital Optimus.&nbsp;<blockquote>“Grok is the master conductor/navigator with deep understanding of the world to direct digital Optimus, which is processing and actioning the past 5 secs of real-time computer screen video and keyboard/mouse actions.”-Elon Musk&nbsp;</blockquote>xAI’s conversational and reasoning model would guide Digital Optimus as it processes recent computer activity, including screen visuals and keyboard or mouse inputs, to make immediate decisions.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">How The AI System Works</h2>Musk explained that the architecture mirrors the way the human mind processes information. Digital Optimus represents “System 1,” which performs rapid and instinctive actions, while Grok serves as “System 2,” handling deeper reasoning and strategic thinking. Working together, the two components enable the platform to monitor real-time computer activity and take appropriate action almost instantly.The AI platform is designed to run primarily on Tesla’s AI4 hardware, which Musk said costs roughly $650. He suggested the technology could eventually replicate complex operational workflows typically handled by human teams.&nbsp;On March 4, Musk said Tesla plans to be one of the companies leading the development of artificial general intelligence (AGI). Tesla plans to spend more than $20 billion in 2026, much higher than the $8.5 billion it spent in 2025. The increased investment will help boost production of the Cybercab, Tesla Semi, and the Optimus robot, with its Fremont factory preparing to manufacture Optimus units.TSLA stock has gained over 76% in the last 12 months.&nbsp;Also See:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/ondas-uas-defense-tech-aerosystems-acquisition/cZdA6fLRIJp">Ondas Moves Deeper Into Defense Tech With BIRD Aerosystems Acquisition</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
