This valuation is based on current market prices as of June 30. The company's significant market presence was established earlier, on June 12, when it went public.
The initial public offering for SpaceX was a record-setting event, successfully raising $85.7 billion. This achievement propelled the company's market capitalization to exceed $2 trillion shortly after its debut.
As of June 30, Musk held a 48.4% stake, exercising sole voting and dispositive power over his 6.42 billion shares. He has maintained over 82% of SpaceX's voting power since the IPO, underscoring his substantial influence.
