SpaceX completes the largest IPO in history
SpaceX has gone public on the Nasdaq. The company priced its IPO at $135 a share, raising around $75bn and valuing it at roughly $1.77tn: the largest IPO ever: and now spans Starship, Starlink, xAI, X, and its launch business under one umbrella.
What changed
The listing follows SpaceX's recent compute deals, including the $920m-a-month arrangement with Google reported earlier this month.
The IPO matters to paid media indirectly, through xAI's place inside the SpaceX group and the broader contest over AI compute capacity that is shaping how quickly platforms can ship AI features.
Why it matters for advertisers
For you, this means another of the entities competing for AI compute has raised enormous fresh capital, reinforcing how capacity and funding are concentrating among a few players. Worth noting as part of the same infrastructure story driving platform AI roadmaps.
