SpaceX completed a record-breaking $75 billion initial public offering (IPO) on Sunday [3]. This historic market debut pushed the company's valuation past $2 trillion [1]. The offering makes CEO Elon Musk the world’s first trillionaire [1][2]. Analysts say the deal reflects growing interest in orbital data centers [1].
