Background
Elon Musk has set an ambitious revenue target for SpaceX, saying the rocket and satellite company could cross $1 trillion in annual earnings by 2030, days after its landmark entry onto public markets.
Musk shared the projection on his social media platform X, telling financial commentator Jon Erlichman he would be surprised if SpaceX revenue did not exceed $1 trillion by 2031 at the latest.
The statement followed one of the most anticipated public listings in recent memory. SpaceX raised $75 billion from new investors and landed a market valuation above $2 trillion, vaulting into the ranks of the six largest companies in the United States. The listing also made Musk the world’s first trillionaire on paper.
The company’s revenue growth backs that confidence. Revenue at SpaceX climbed to $18.67 billion in 2025 from $14.02 billion a year earlier, supported by continued expansion across its aerospace and communications businesses.
Wall Street has taken notice. Goldman Sachs put SpaceX revenue at more than $470 billion by 2030, while Morgan Stanley forecast nearly $330 billion over the same period, according to a Wall Street Journal report. Both projections point to a company with few direct rivals and considerable room to grow.
SpaceX’s climb from a privately funded rocket company to a multitrillion-dollar public enterprise ranks among the boldest business transformations in modern history.
With Starlink adding subscribers across new markets and a strong launch pipeline ahead, the company carries real momentum into what could be its most consequential years yet.
