SpaceX stock will be offered for public sale for the first time today, marking what could be the largest initial public offering (IPO) in history
If share sales reach the company’s suggested price of $135 (£100), it will set founder Elon Musk on track to be the world’s first trillionaire
The company aims to raise $75bn, marking a new record for an IPO and sweeping past the previous record held by oil giant Saudi Aramco, which opened at $25.6bn in 2019
Musk controls more than 80% of the space exploration firm, which builds rockets and infrastructure used by Nasa
SpaceX owns other Musk ventures, including artificial intelligence firm xAI and internet service Starlink
The New York Stock Exchange opening bell will ring at 09:30 EDT to mark the start of trading
