SpaceX revealed in a regulatory filing on Friday that Google will pay it $920 million a month for computing power, pumping billions of dollars into Elon Musk’s rocket company as it prepares for a blockbuster initial public offering. The agreement, which starts in October and runs through June 2029, could earn SpaceX about $30 billion…
SpaceX, Elon Musk’s rocket maker and artificial intelligence company, set a price for its initial public offering on Wednesday of $135 a share, which would value it at $1.77 trillion and crown it the largest I.P.O. ever. At that price, SpaceX would raise $74.4 billion from the offering, and its valuation would be more than…
Elon Musk, the chief executive of SpaceX, has dined with President Trump at the White House, lost a flashy trial where he testified against his rival Sam Altman and accompanied Mr. Trump to China for a major diplomatic summit.

Anthony Scaramucci has said he owns shares of SpaceX. So does 2 Chainz, the rapper; Betsy DeVos, the former education secretary; and the hosts of a podcast called “Rich Habits” and more than 150 of its followers. Elon Musk’s rocket and satellite company is about to hold what could be the largest initial public offering…
In January 2018, Elon Musk needed $100 million. Instead of calling a bank, he turned to SpaceX, the rocket company he founded and where he serves as chief executive. Over the next three years, Mr. Musk borrowed a total of $500 million from his company. The loan terms were significantly lower than what most banks…
