SpaceX’s IPO pitch might be the boldest AI bet Wall Street has ever seen.

Goldman Sachs is reportedly projecting: • SpaceX valuation target: $1.78 TRILLION • AI revenue growth: from $3.2B → $322B by 2030 • Total company revenue: from $18.7B → $474B • EBITDA: from $6.6B → $352B Let that sink in. The most shocking part? By 2030, Goldman expects SpaceX’s AI business to generate MORE than: Starlink Rockets Space operations combined Translation: SpaceX is no longer being pitched as a space company. It’s being pitched as an AI company with rockets attached. But here’s the catch: For these projections to work, Grok would need to outperform OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic in: • Coding • AI agents • Cybersecurity • Enterprise AI • Consumer chatbots That’s an enormous leap — especially for a business currently losing billions and struggling for adoption. Still, this tells us something important: Wall Street is no longer valuing companies based on what they are today. It’s valuing who could dominate AI tomorrow. The AI race is officially rewriting how trillion-dollar companies are built. And investors are willing to price in the future before it exist
