SpaceX Could Reach $100 Trillion Valuation in 10 Years, Musk Says
Current overview (not historical)
Elon Musk announced on X that SpaceX might achieve a $100 trillion valuation within a decade—about 48 times its current market value—adding that the only major obstacle would be a global war. Musk’s claim follows a separate forecast by Ron Baron, founder of Baron Capital, who projected a $50 trillion valuation based on the growth of Starlink and the potential of orbital data‑center services, noting that the latter could eventually outpace Starlink in scale. The two estimates highlight differing views on SpaceX’s future value, with Musk’s figure being roughly twice Baron’s projection and both hinging on the continued expansion of satellite‑based services and the absence of geopolitical conflict.

- BeInCryptoRelated fact: single sourceElon Musk predicts SpaceX could reach $100 trillion valuation within 10 years unless a major world war occurs
Report first recorded Oct 15, 14:30
Elon Musk stated on X on October 15 that SpaceX will probably exceed a $100 trillion market value within 10 years, with the only caveat being a major world war, which is about 48 times the company's $2.07 trillion market value at the October 14 close. This prediction follows Ron Baron, founder of Baron Capital, who forecasted up to $50 trillion, based on the potential of Starlink and space-based data centers, which Baron expects Starlink to reach a valuation of $14 trillion to $15 trillion within the next decade. Despite the high ambition, SpaceX's AI division spent $15.8 billion on infrastructure last quarter, and the company is reportedly seeking $40 billion more in debt for Nvidia chips, causing its five-year credit default swaps to surge to 194 basis points, though it maintains an investment-grade BBB rating.
