The markets lit up today as Elon Musk delivered two major updates — one for investors, and one for politics. Within hours, he confirmed that SpaceX is moving toward an IPO, and made it clear he has no plans to return to DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency).

🚀 SpaceX IPO: Officially on the Horizon
A strong signal came when space journalist Eric Berger posted his analysis predicting a near-term SpaceX IPO — and Musk replied:
“As usual, Eric is accurate.”
This is as close to an official confirmation as it gets.
📌 Key IPO Highlights:
Target Valuation: ~$1.5 trillion (Bloomberg)
Capital Raise: Expected to exceed $30 billion
Potential Timeline: Mid-to-late 2026, possibly stretching into 2027
Current Valuation (Secondary Market): Over $800 billion at ~$420/share
SpaceX has stayed private for years to avoid quarterly pressure while pursuing long-horizon goals like Starship and Mars exploration. But now, its explosive growth — especially through Starlink — is pushing it toward public markets.
📈 Starlink Driving Massive Revenue
2025 Revenue Projection: ~$15B
2026 Revenue Estimate: ~$22–24B
Majority coming from Starlink’s global satellite internet
IPO funding will go toward space-based data centers and AI chip purchases
This will be one of the largest — and most anticipated — IPOs in global history.

🪙 Tokenized Shares: Retail’s Backdoor Access
Because private shares are off-limits for normal investors, demand for alternatives is surging.
In June, Robinhood EU offered tokenized SpaceX shares on Arbitrum, allocating:
$500,000 in SpaceX tokens
$1 million in OpenAI tokens
A move that created major buzz in crypto circles.

🏛️ Musk Says “No More DOGE”
In a new podcast with former DOGE spokeswoman Katie Miller, Musk was asked whether he would do DOGE again.
His answer: “No, I don’t think so.”
Musk said he should’ve focused on his companies instead — pointing to vandalism incidents at Tesla facilities during his government stint:
“They wouldn’t have been burning the cars.”
He described his time in DOGE as only “a little bit successful,” despite major cuts to federal spending. The DOGE site lists $214B in savings, but many analysts argue the real figure is unclear.

⚠️ Break With Trump
Musk’s political chapter effectively ended when he split with Trump in June over the administration’s tax and spending bill, calling it:
“Utterly insane and destructive.”
The comments mark Musk’s clearest shift back to business — and away from Washington.

🟡 Bottom Line
SpaceX’s IPO looks inevitable and closer than ever.
Tokenized shares are emerging as a new gateway for smaller investors.
Musk is closing the door on
$DOGE and returning full focus to SpaceX, Tesla, and his core companies.
This could become the biggest public listing in human history — and crypto may play a surprising role along the way.
