Okay, let's keep going here.
All right, topic two, SpaceX just filed their S1 on Wednesday.
They are aiming to raise 75 billion at a 1.75 trillion with a T valuation.
This would be the largest IPO ever by more than double Saudi's Ramco, $29 billion IPO a couple of years ago.
Listing is expected mid-June, likely June 12th.
Ticker will be SPCX.
We got a lot of interesting information in the S1 teardown.
Obviously, SpaceX has three main business units.
Starlink is the money printer right now, but there is a second one that's emerging.
Starlink did $11.4 billion in revenue last year on 50% growth.
with 4.4 billion in operating income.
Over 10 million people are now subscribing to Starlink.
That business could easily be hundreds of millions of paying subscribers.
So that's a lot of growth potentially there.
The space business is but 4 billion in revenue.
It's growing 17% growth, which would still be strong growth, but had 650 million in operating losses.
AI did $3.2 billion in revenue.
That's more than double year-over-year growth, but it had $6.4 billion in operating losses.
SpaceX had $20 billion in CapEx spend last year.
Over 60% was for the AI compute build-out, and obviously they were trailing Anthropic and OpenAI and Gemini in terms of XAI playing catch-up, and he did a big reboot of that, as we saw on the Twitter post.
