SpaceX stake values surpass $1 trillion for Musk, with other billionaires benefiting

Elon Musk’s stake in SpaceX has risen to more than $1 trillion after the company’s public debut, according to CNBC’s report on June 19, 2026. The IPO also lifted the value of holdings for several other billionaire shareholders, while creating thousands of new millionaires among early investors and employees. CNBC said SpaceX shares were still up 37% from the IPO price of $135, even after some recent cooling in sentiment trimmed earlier gains. The company’s market value briefly moved ahead of Amazon and Microsoft before easing to about $2.43 trillion at Thursday’s close. Among the largest shareholders identified with FactSet data were Valor Equity Partners, with a stake worth about $96.6 billion, board member Luke Nosek at $6.3 billion, president and COO Gwynne Shotwell at $2.4 billion, and CFO Bret Johnsen at $1.2 billion.
