SpaceX files to go public in landmark IPO

SpaceX has filed to go public, a move that would give the company a public market valuation and could push Elon Musk toward becoming the world's first trillionaire. The filing comes as the company operates the world's dominant low-Earth orbit satellite network and competes directly with Amazon, which is in talks to acquire satellite operator Globalstar for $9 billion to challenge Starlink.
