It seems that the ten-year $1 trillion salary cannot cover Musk's ambitions. SpaceX plans to go public in 2026 with a target valuation of approximately $1.5 trillion. What does that mean? It's more than the combined value of Tencent, Alibaba, and Baidu (around $1.16 trillion as of December 10)! Of course, in terms of current profitability, Starlink is far more profitable than Starship. Starlink's revenue is expected to be $7 billion in 2024 and $9 billion in 205, making it undoubtedly SpaceX's cash cow, while Starship's rocket launches are basically not profitable, still in the technical verification phase, and there is no regular commercial launch revenue yet. Starlink is advancing rapidly, with direct mobile connections, global spectrum, and services launched in 156 countries: South Korea launched on December 4, and India's Starlink package is expected to be available by early 2026. Other countries in line include Uzbekistan, Rwanda, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, and more. If SpaceX's IPO valuation can reach $1.5 trillion in 2026, it will surpass Tesla to become the highest-valued company under Musk. At that time, with SpaceX's salary incentives, Musk's compensation is expected to rise even further. $BTC $ETH $AXL
