[SpaceX](https://archive.is/o/dgZdZ/https://www.axios.com/2023/12/07/spacex-valuation-175-billion-starlink-elon-musk) could eventually become a public company, [Elon Musk](https://archive.is/o/dgZdZ/https://www.axios.com/business/elon-musk) said Thursday.

**Why it matters:** Often listed as one of the [most valuable private companies](https://archive.is/o/dgZdZ/https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/private-companies/highest-valuation/?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAKMXHM8TU-Blboos7iE4H8uiQxCi-hbhBYz9muVF63PnNWA9siDZ9iGcR8_2AWrE8QZwtLsXiLXKLxF1wi1-yo_1fgh9UFerqwaop4yg5t8YQWFekJyyHjZdSPxzVwgdZVs3Y4y6HfcRrrbV9hLTYdbwGzV8AgHteBaEl8w_8Ql-) in the world, SpaceX has spurned the public markets so far, remaining privately held by Musk and its investors.

**Driving the news:** Musk said Thursday during Tesla’s annual shareholder meeting that he’s been weighing ways for SpaceX supporters to invest in the company.

* „I do want supporters to have SpaceX stock,“ he said.
* „Maybe at some point SpaceX should become a public company despite all the downsides of being public,“ he added.

**Reality check:** Musk noted that federal securities law limits the number of shareholders a private company can have before it becomes subject to additional reporting requirements like a publicly traded company.

* The current threshold is [triggered](https://archive.is/o/dgZdZ/https://carta.com/blog/issue-brief-12g/) when a company has more than $10 million in assets and exceeds 2,000 stockholders or 500 non-accredited investors.

**The intrigue:** Investment app Robinhood recently said it would make tokens of privately held stocks — including SpaceX — available to eligible European customers, [Axios Crypto](https://archive.is/o/dgZdZ/https://www.axios.com/signup/cryptocurrency) author Brady Dale [reported](https://archive.is/o/dgZdZ/https://www.axios.com/2025/06/30/robinhood-s-crypto-plan-for-stocks-closer).
