SpaceX's $75 billion raised today will be used to build more Starships, expand the Starlink constellation, deploy AI data centers in orbit, and explore the possibility of humans permanently leaving Earth. Musk's bet is that the next battleground for AI isn't on Earth's data centers, but in space.
But American investors are well aware that Musk's $1.1 trillion fortune depends in part on SpaceX's ability to achieve those ambitious goals. Grok's struggles in the AI race, the multiple explosions during Starship test flights, and his own 19% public commitment fulfillment rate are all figures in this story that cannot be obscured by valuation reports.
Today, he is the first trillionaire in history. Tomorrow, whether the universe will cooperate with his timeline is another matter entirely.
