SpaceX is considering a dual-class share structure for its potential 2026 IPO, according to Bloomberg. This would give founders like Elon Musk super-voting rights (potentially 10-20 votes per share), similar to the setups at Alphabet and Meta, allowing them to retain control even after going public.
In contrast, Tesla uses single-class shares, where Musk’s influence comes primarily from his ~13% ownership stake rather than enhanced voting power. Adopting dual-class shares for SpaceX could signal a stronger emphasis on protecting long-term vision from short-term shareholder pressure.
Research shows dual-class structures often drive greater innovation in founder-led companies—for example, a Harvard Business Review analysis found ~20% higher R&D spending—but they also limit ordinary shareholders’ influence and have raised governance concerns in about 15% of dual-class S&P 500 firms, per ISS data.
"I think Elon Musk’s the Thomas Edison of our age. I think he's a very good person. He wants to do the right thing, if I had to say one thing, he wants to do the right thing, to transform the lot of most of humanity."
