As it stands, Elon Musk has not posted on X about it.

That's just the Bloomberg reporting.

Let's bring in Phil Hasslett for more.

He's the chief strategy officer over at Equizy Zen, one of the largest platforms for pre-IPO shares.

There's a lot that you and I have to cover on a potential SpaceX IPO.

which we've reported is for the entirety of the business, right?

Not just Starlink.

But actually, important to start with, you would note that SpaceX is the private company that users of your platform are most interested in.

In quantifying that for us, just transparently explain what Equity Zen's relationship to SpaceX's private market shares is.

Sure.

Thanks for having me, Ed.

Yeah, you hit the nail on the head.

SpaceX is the most popularly requested private company on Equity's end.

It's been that way for probably our entire existence as a business over the last 13 years.

And that really just means that there is...

retail exuberance about investing in spacex you know the company is 23 years old it's older than a lot of my employees uh it has garnered interest it's had success it's out in the public people have done incredibly well with tesla as public market investors and so there's a lot of enthusiasm to invest in the company while it's private and what seems to be now an opportunity to invest in it while it's public and maybe even less than a year which is pretty surprising

There is, of course, a lot that we don't know.

What percentage of the company is SpaceX going to offer?

What is the structure of the IPO going to be?

But in reporting this story, Phil, one of the things I reflect on is that existing SpaceX shareholders aren't that diverse.
