How to Buy SpaceX
BloombergThe constellation Monoceros, faintly visible against the Milky Way, has for centuries occupied the heavens as “the unicorn.” The other space unicorn? The billionaire entrepreneur’s onetime side hustle has, in less than two decades, evolved from a novel idea—reusable rockets—into the most highly valued startup in the US. The $210 billion colossus launches satellites, operates the Starlink internet service and counts itself as a critical NASA subcontractor, ferrying astronauts to the International Space Station. The Hawthorne, California-based company remains privately held, which means its shares don’t trade on a stock exchange—not yet anyway. Although that day may come should the company ever go public, for now obtaining a piece of SpaceX is not unlike getting past an exclusive club’s velvet rope.
