Elon Musk’s space exploration company has filed preliminary paperwork to sell shares to the public, according to two sources familiar with the filing, a blockbuster offering that would likely rank as the biggest ever and could make its founder the world’s first trillionaire.
A SpaceX IPO promises to be one of the biggest Wall Street events of the year, with several investment banks lining up to help raise tens of billions to fund Musk’s ambitions to set up a base on the moon, put datacenters the size of several football fields in orbit and possibly one day send a man to Mars.
Silver lining is human numbers still matter a lot and those people only have their wealth/power because the majority allow them to.
That may not be true for our grandkids, that’s why they’re pushing AI and drones so hard, once they don’t need bodies, they don’t need the majorities permission (thru apathy) to do what they’re doing.
They want to rush it so they hit it in their lifetime, which is the only reason we have a chance to stop them.
