The company’s value has doubled to $800 billion. SpaceX is preparing to offer shares at the new valuation

SpaceX, the leading space company owned by the wealthy Elon Musk, is preparing to offer shares based on a total valuation of its assets worth $800 billion, according to what was reported by several media outlets, which is the highest valuation in the world for a company not listed on the stock exchange.
This valuation is double what it was in the last stock sale just five months ago.
The success of this operation will contribute to increasing the wealth of the company’s owner, Elon Musk, who at the beginning of last October became the first man in the world whose fortune reached $500 billion, according to the Forbes website.
Media say that he still owns about 42% of the company’s capital.
SpaceX officials did not want to make any comment to Agence France-Presse.
Elon Musk founded SpaceX in 2002, and has established itself as a major player in the space sector, especially with its Falcon 9 rockets, which have so far launched several missions into space, whether to place artificial satellites in Earth’s orbit or to transport equipment to astronauts residing on the International Space Station.
SpaceX intends to send its vehicles to the moon and Mars within the next two years.
