ExclusiveThe Biggest IPO in History Is Coming. Can You Buy It?

Okay, stop everything. The biggest stock sale in human history is happening this week. And for once, Wall Street doesn't get to keep it all to themselves. Today I'm gonna tell you exactly what's going on and how you might get a seat on their rocket. Give us a like and let's go. Here's the deal. SpaceX is going public. Yes, Elon Musk's rocket company, the one that lands boosters like they're parallel parking at Trader Joe's. They filed the paperwork with the SEC last month. They're listing on the Nasdaq under the ticker SPCX. And right now, the price is set around $135 a share. The first day of trading, around June the 12th, that's basically tomorrow. Now, sit down for this number. The company is being valued at about $1.75 trillion, with a T. They want to raise up to $75 billion in this one sale. And for comparison, the biggest IPO ever before this one was Saudi Aramco. That was an oil giant. They raised $29 billion. SpaceX looked at the record and said, cute, let's raise more than double that. This isn't just the biggest space deal, it's the biggest anything deal ever. Apparently, they even gave it an internal codename, Project Apex. Of course they did. You can't raise $75 billion and call it Steve. Now, here's the part that's got Wall Street clenching its pearls. Normally, when a hot IPO comes out, the big institutions get first dips, right? The hedge funds feast, the banks feast, and regular investors get whatever crumbs fall off the table. It's like Thanksgiving dinner. By the time the kids get to the mashed potatoes, all that's left is parsley. But reportedly, SpaceX may set aside up to 30% of the shares for retail investors, meaning regular people. You know, the people who actually pay taxes. The people who know exactly how much eggs cost. The people whose investment strategies mostly, I saw on TikTok and felt optimistic. Well, 30%. Wall Street heard that number and looked personally offended. Now, before anyone empties their savings account and starts yelling to the moon from their balcony, let's talk about what SpaceX actually is. Because here's the surprise. SpaceX isn't really just a rocket company anymore. It's become one of those companies where you can't tell the difference between a press release and a Marvel script. Because back in 2002, Elon Musk starts a rocket company. Everybody laughs, right? Because at the time, private rockets sounded like a guy announcing he's building Jurassic Park in his backyard. Fast forward 20 plus years. Now, SpaceX launches rockets so routinely, it's almost boring. NASA needs a ride? Call SpaceX. Astronauts need a ride? Call SpaceX. Satellite needs a ride? Call SpaceX. It's basically Uber, but for orbit. But here's the twist. The rockets aren't the main business anymore. The real moneymaker is Starlink. Starlink is the internet from space, which sounds ridiculous until you realize you're probably already using it. SpaceX has launched roughly 10,000 satellites. 10,000. You know there are people who can't keep track of 10,000 emails. Elon has 10,000 objects circling Earth. Starlink provides internet to farms, ships, rural towns, and airplanes. When you're getting Wi-Fi on the flight and somehow still choosing to answer work emails, you can thank Starlink or blame Starlink, depending on how much you like your boss. And in some parts of the world, Starlink has been used during wars, blackouts, and communication outages when traditional networks weren't available. That's how important it's become. In fact, more than half of SpaceX's revenue reportedly comes from Starlink. Meaning, when you buy SpaceX stock, you're not really buying a rocket company. You're buying an internet company with a rocket hobby. And then it gets weirder. Because apparently, rockets and internet weren't enough. Earlier this year, SpaceX absorbed Musk's AI company, XAI. Well, the company behind Grok. Because apparently, every company in America now has to be involved with AI. I bought a toaster last week. The toaster has AI. The toaster wants venture capital. So now SpaceX has rockets, satellites, artificial intelligence. At this point, SpaceX sounds less like a company and more like the villain in the Marvel movie. And Elon's long-term vision? AI data centers in space. Computers orbiting Earth, powered by sunlight. You know, when I first heard that, I thought, that's too ridiculous. Then I remembered, this is the same guy who caught a giant rocket using what looked like a pair of industrial chopsticks. So I've learned to stop saying impossible. Maybe there is an alien. Now, the reality check. Dreams are expensive. Really expensive. SpaceX reportedly spent over 10 billion dollars in just the first quarter of the year. More than 7 billion of that went toward AI-related development. This company spends money the way I spend money at Target. You walk in for one thing, you leave wondering what happened. Alright, the question you've been screaming at your computer. How do I get in? For once, the answer isn't, be born into a billionaire family. Some shares are reportedly being offered through platforms many people already use, like Robinhood, Fidelity, Schwab, SoFi. Basically, every finance app that has ever sent you a notification saying, your future starts today, while your account balance is probably $47. But anyways, Robinhood has a feature called IPO access. You can request shares. Request, important word, request, not receive, request. It's like swiping right, you're expressing interest, nothing is guaranteed. And for Schwab, reportedly required around $100,000 in assets for access. So that option is available to everyone who casually keeps six figures lying around, which excludes most of us and several members of Congress. Fidelity reportedly has a much lower threshold, around $2,000, which is still money, but at least it sounds like a number created by humans. Now, here's the part nobody likes hearing. Demand could be insane. You can apply, you can qualify, you can do everything right, and still get zero shares. It's like waiting in line for a roller coaster all day and watching the ride shut down right before your turn. Some emotional damage may occur. And remember, IPOs are roller coasters. Sometimes they soar, sometimes they crash, sometimes both before lunch. So don't invest money you can't afford to lose, don't refinance your house, don't sell a kidney, don't put your grandma's retirement account into a company because a guy on YouTube drew arrows pointing upwards. And just to be clear, I am definitely not your financial advisor. If I were, we would both have bigger problems. But I will say this, for decades, the best investment opportunities were often reserved for people already sitting at the table. Everyone else got to watch through the window. But this time, at least a bigger crowd gets invited in. Maybe that's the most interesting part of the whole story. Not the rockets, not the satellites, not even the trillions. The fact that for one brief moment, the same stock might be available to both a factory worker in Ohio and a hedge fund manager in Manhattan. That's unusual. And that's interesting. And honestly, that's worth watching. So whether you're buying shares or just eating popcorn from your couch, keep your eyes on the sky this week, because history may be getting ready for launch. And unlike most rocket launches, this one comes with a brokerage account. Okay, that's all for today and thanks for watching. I'll see you in the next one.
