According to Sawyer Merritt, Elon Musk stated last month that he is exploring ways for Tesla shareholders to invest in SpaceX, suggesting that SpaceX could potentially become a public company to broaden access to its stock despite the challenges of public markets (source: Sawyer Merritt on X, Dec 6, 2025). This development could significantly impact AI industry trends, as SpaceX has deep investments in artificial intelligence for autonomous rocket navigation, satellite management, and Starlink network optimization. A public offering would open new business opportunities for AI-driven ventures, with increased transparency and funding potentially accelerating AI research and deployment across the aerospace and telecommunications sectors.
