Elon Musk: SpaceX will be worth more than the rest of Earth if goals are met
Elon Musk wrote on X that "SpaceX will be worth more than the rest of Earth" if the company achieves its goals — a claim built on visions of orbital manufacturing, asteroid mining, and Mars colonies, reigniting valuation debate just a month after SpaceX's IPO.
Elon Musk made his boldest claim yet about SpaceX's long-term value.
He wrote on X that "SpaceX will be worth more than the rest of Earth" if the company accomplishes its goals. The comment came amid online debate over a reported $7.5 billion to $40 billion compute deal between Anthropic and SpaceX-xAI.
Musk's claim rests on SpaceX evolving beyond rockets and satellites into the architect of a multiplanetary economy — orbital manufacturing, asteroid mining, and Mars colonies — markets, customers, currencies, and regulators that don't exist yet.
SpaceX priced its IPO at $135 a share on June 12, raising $86 billion in the largest IPO ever and hitting roughly $2.1 trillion in market value on its debut trading day. For Tesla shareholders, Musk pushing SpaceX's valuation ceiling this aggressively adds another layer of uncertainty to the reference point for any Tesla-SpaceX merger talks, which continue to circulate.
