Elon Musk is reportedly trying to take SpaceX public

SMRTR summary

Elon Musk is reportedly planning to take SpaceX public by July, abandoning his long-held position against an IPO until Mars colonization. The sudden shift stems from Musk's ambition to build AI data centers in space, competing with Google's similar 2027 plans, but requiring billions in capital that only a public offering could provide. The move would also boost his struggling xAI company, which lags behind OpenAI and Google in artificial intelligence development.
