Now that SpaceX has successfully launched Starman on a Telsa into outer space using their rocket ship called the Falcon Heavy, many are now interested in investing in the SpaceX company. Even though the company is a privately owned company, there are those hoping for a SpaceX IPO. The IPO would then allow for investors to purchase SpaceX company stocks through a stock exchange such as the NYSE or Nasdaq.
The IPO won't be happening anytime soon. In fact it will probably never happen since Elon Musk has stated that he prefers SpaceX to remain a privately held company. He has reiterated this in public as well as through company email to SpaceX employees. He has explained that Tesla and Solar City had to go public in order to acquire the necessary funding to become fully functional companies while SpaceX did not have that problem. Musk has also publicy stated that he would not want SpaceX to have to answer to corporate investors for fear of losing Mars colonization as a goal over corporate profits.
This may leave many small time and even big money investors deflated. Elon Musk and his SpaceX team will surely turn SpaceX into a very profitable company. Some analysts believe SpaceX's worth could grow to become $50 Billion Dollars in the next few years more than doubling its value. This company is definitely going to make many of SpaceX's investors very wealthy, but unfortunately the public won't be able to directly benefit unless you find a back door into SpaceX shares.
This back door entrance into SpaceX shares will not be cheap either. Starting at around $1030 per share, you can own shares in the company now called Alphabet inc.. Alphabet inc, formerly known as Google Inc, invested $1 Billion Dollars in SpaceX for about a 10% stake in SpaceX around three years ago. So by owning Alphabet inc stock, you will also be an investor in SpaceX. Every SpaceX success can be seen as adding value to Alphabet inc's stock price.
List of SpaceX investors
So long Starman and hello Alphabet soup!

It would be better if he launches an ICO and creates some SpaceX Coins. Please let us skip wall street all together. :)
Thank you for the info on Alphabet INC. by the way.

Those tokens could serve for merchandising, private tours on the company, special "seats" for launches, etc., etc., I would buy!

I hope you can trade them while you are in space. I want fast transfer fees between Mars and the Sun! Since it's SpaceX Coins there should also be like the universe a limitless always expanding supply! Maybe some aliens will finally come see us and start to invest. If they now do exist then they probably got a hell lot more money than we do. They probably look at 1 trillion as tip money! Best part of all is there is truly no tax in space since it is very hard to regulate. Unless Elon sets up a Federal Reserve bank on Mars.

I think Elon knows this planet got no future that's why he is rushing things lol. When the intelligent people want to leave earth then you know how bad it must be behind the scenes! I think Elon is waiting for Bitcoin to hit 1 million dollars in value. So he can beat China and NASA to Mars! Because clearly it will be a costly journey. Especially if something fails! I hope we finally can find some real life on Mars. A red alien would be very exciting. That would make stuff exciting again. That it's not just we in space!

Just double the money? That is a bit boring for our new Crypto boys that are used to seeing 100X gains in value lol! But I believe Elon Musk will do exciting things in the future. Especially if he ever gets to the moon I'm sure he will start the first space Crypto currency. 🚀
It's a bit fun these days how everyone wants to invest in every single thing that exist out there. But will probably make many spread themselves too thin when some things starts to fail. Probably best to put all eggs in the same basket! Something with a great team behind it. That is what Elon did. He was a real gambler!
