Elon Musk's SpaceX is gearing up for what could be the largest initial public offering in history, with plans to set a target valuation of $1.75 trillion. Sources familiar with the matter told Reuters that the rocket and satellite firm aims to raise at least $75 billion through the IPO.

SpaceX has begun preliminary meetings with investors to gauge interest. The company plans to issue new shares exclusively, meaning all proceeds will go to SpaceX itself, rather than existing shareholders. This structure is part of preparations for an IPO that could significantly reshape the investment landscape.

The upcoming public offering presents a rare opportunity for everyday investors to buy into Musk's ambitious vision for space exploration, satellite communications, and artificial intelligence. SpaceX has become a cornerstone of the billionaire's expansive business empire, and its IPO is highly anticipated.

Details, including the fundraising amount, are still subject to change as investor meetings continue. The roadshow for the IPO is reportedly set to begin soon, signaling a major step towards public trading for the aerospace giant.
