SpaceX Plans Record IPO Highlighting AI Market Amid Unprofitability

SpaceX is preparing for a record-setting initial public offering (IPO) targeting a valuation of about $1.75 trillion, aiming to raise approximately $75 billion. The company projects a total addressable market of $28.5 trillion, with over $26 trillion linked to artificial intelligence, particularly AI for enterprises. Despite generating $18.6 billion in revenue last year, SpaceX reported a $5 billion loss. Alongside OpenAI and Anthropic, which also operate at losses, these firms are expected to drive a significant wave of high-valuation tech IPOs in the U.S., raising questions about investor tolerance for unprofitable growth.
