New York: Elon Musk said his rocket company, SpaceX, could generate $1 trillion in revenue by 2030, a statement made two days after the company went public, with a valuation of more than $2 trillion.

“I would be surprised if revenues did not exceed one trillion dollars in 2030,” he wrote on his social network X, in response to specialized journalist Jon Erlichman.

SpaceX became the sixth largest US company on Friday, consolidating Musk’s status as the world’s first billionaire; However, the company still makes much less money than similarly valued tech giants like Broadcom and Amazon.com.

In 2025, SpaceX’s revenue was $18.67 billion, up from $14.20 million a year earlier, but the company lost $4.94 billion, compared to a profit of $791 million.

Wall Street analysts are cautious about the company’s growth. Goldman estimates that SpaceX’s revenue would exceed $470 billion in 2030, while Morgan Stanley projected $330 billion, published this month The Wall Street Journal.

Favor OpenAI

A federal court in the United States dismissed a lawsuit brought by Elon Musk’s xAI, which accused OpenAI, Sam Altman’s rival company, of stealing its trade secrets by hiring a subordinate of Musk.
