The world just paid $2 trillion for a rocket company that lost $4.9 billion last year. And the rockets are not why it lost the money. They are the only part making any.
SpaceX went public Friday, the largest IPO in history. Up 19%, a $2 trillion valuation, Elon Musk the first trillionaire. Then you open the filing.
Three businesses sit inside it. Starlink, the satellites, brought in $11.4 billion, 61% of all revenue, and $4.4 billion in profit. It is the only piece that earns a dollar. The rockets that land themselves run a small loss reinvesting in Starship. And the AI arm, Grok plus the app once called Twitter, folded in this February, lost $6.4 billion in a single year on $12.7 billion of spending.
Read that again. The satellites pay for everything. The AI loses more than the satellites make. And the AI is the part the market fell in love with.
It gets bolder. The prospectus claims a total market of $28.5 trillion, the largest any company has ever put in a filing. Larger than the GDP of the United States. That is the number underwriting a $2 trillion price tag built on a division bleeding $6 billion a year.
Now the structure. About 4% of the company trades. That sliver sets the price for all of it. Musk is locked up for 366 days and holds roughly 80% of the votes. The public bought a company they cannot steer, priced on the one segment losing the most.
This is the whole year in one ticker. The profit is satellites. The story is AI. The market bought the story.
The rockets were never the risk. The risk is a $2 trillion price resting on the one bet that has yet to make a cent.

QB Jack Layne’s final line: 12-for-16, 152 yards and two touchdowns.
Eck: “Awesome. Great decision-making, tough. I thought he did a really nice job managing the end of the game and making sure we were snapping it … He’s really playing at a high level here.
“I told him this week — I said I think you’re playing the best you’ve played in the four years I’ve been with him.”
