SpaceX reportedly weighs 30% retail allocation for blockbuster IPO

Elon Musk is considering reserving up to 30% of SpaceX's IPO for individual (retail) investors as the company eyes a reported $75 billion raise at a $1.75 trillion valuation. The proposed allocation would be a sharp departure from traditional institutional-heavy IPO allocations and could broaden retail participation and aftermarket demand. Execution and final sizing remain uncertain, so implications for valuation discovery and allocation precedent in the IPO market are speculative.
