Musk's SpaceX stake crosses $1 trillion, other billionaire shareholders revealed
Elon Musk's stake in SpaceX has crossed $1 trillion after the company's latest secondary-market valuation. According to a CNBC review, Google's co-founders, Founders Fund and Fidelity rank among the largest billionaire holders. The company's valuation is more than double its level a year ago.
Drawing on SpaceX's most recent secondary-market trades, CNBC calculated that Elon Musk's roughly 42 percent controlling stake has crossed the $1 trillion mark for the first time. The level ties the bulk of Musk's net worth to a single private company.
CNBC reported that Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin still hold meaningful positions from their 2015 investment, while Peter Thiel's Founders Fund and Fidelity rank among the largest non-public shareholders. The company has more than doubled its valuation over the past year through fresh private rounds that backstop growth in Starlink and Starship.
Analysts said SpaceX has reiterated it has no plans for an initial public offering, which makes secondary-market trades the only liquidity channel for employees and investors holding shares. Last month's tender priced the stock above $540 a share.
