SpaceX Shares Fall Over 30% After Record IPO Amid AI Expansion and Bond Offering
SpaceX's historic $75 billion IPO on June 12 propelled its valuation close to $3 trillion, briefly making it one of the world's most valuable companies. However, the stock has since declined over 30%, losing more than $600 billion in market value within three days amid investor concerns about high valuations, aggressive AI-related spending, and a $20 billion bond offering despite holding $100.8 billion in cash. The company has secured multi-billion-dollar AI infrastructure deals, including a $6.3 billion contract with Reflection AI, signaling its shift toward AI computing services. Elon Musk's net worth has fallen by approximately $300 billion due to the stock's selloff, though SpaceX remains valued above $2 trillion and ranks among the largest global firms.
