Elon Musk has become the world's first trillionaire with the successful initial public offering (IPO) of Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ:SPCX).
The company's public debut has now raised questions about whether we will see an IPO for Starlink, a subsidiary of SpaceX.

Data from Kalshi, a federally authorized betting platform, shows that over $440,000 has been bet on the contract "When will Starlink officially announce an IPO?"
The prediction market is not very confident about an IPO happening anytime soon. Bettors have placed a 7% probability on a Starlink IPO "Before Apr 1, 2027." The odds slightly rise to 10% if we look at "Before Jun 30, 2027.

Calls For Tesla-SpaceX Merger
Calls for a merger between Tesla and newly listed SpaceX have grown, with investor Anthony Pompliano calling for "one company to bet on this generation's greatest entrepreneur."
While a Tesla-SpaceX combination remains speculative, several prominent Musk watchers have argued that the companies could eventually move closer together.
SpaceX $1 Trillion Revenue
Musk believes SpaceX could reach $1 trillion in annual revenue by 2030.
