MUSK TARGETS RETAIL INVESTORS IN SPACEX IPO Elon Musk is considering allocating up to 30% of SpaceX’s IPO to retail investors—far above the typical 5–10%—to tap loyal fans and stabilize trading after listing. The plan includes a hands-on approach to banks, assigning firms specific roles rather than broad competition. Bank of America is expected to lead U.S. retail distribution, alongside firms like Morgan Stanley and UBS. With a potential valuation near $1.75 trillion, demand is expected to be strong. The goal: attract long-term investors and avoid volatile “pop-and-dump” trading after what could be one of the largest IPOs ever.(*Walter Bloomberg)
