**SpaceX Set to Launch Tender Offer, Valued at $250 Billion**

SpaceX, led by Elon Musk, is reportedly on the verge of initiating a tender offer next month, which will allow the sale of existing shares at $135 each. This move is expected to value the company at over $250 billion, according to information from Reuters.

This development is significant as Musk’s vision for human Mars exploration could potentially align with the priorities of Trump's administration. The NASA Artemis program plans to utilize SpaceX's Starship for lunar missions as a stepping stone towards Mars expeditions, potentially shifting focus to Mars with uncrewed missions this decade.

There is also the possibility that SpaceX may pursue relaxed regulations on worker and participant safety in private space flights if supported by Trump’s administration. This comes after an investigation last year reported over 600 worker injuries at SpaceX facilities, which exceeded the industry average and raised concerns about the company’s compliance with safety standards.

The valuation of SpaceX has seen remarkable growth over the past year. In June, the company was reportedly poised for a record $210 billion valuation in a tender offer, surpassing its previous $200 billion estimate, driven by significant investor demand. Despite this growth, Musk has dismissed the possibility of a SpaceX initial public offering (IPO), citing the intense pressure for short-term results faced by publicly listed companies.

Highlighting its dominance in the space sector, SpaceX controls two-thirds of the planet’s satellites, largely due to the rapid growth of its Starlink satellite network. As of September, the Starlink service connects over 4 million customers globally, marking a significant impact on global connectivity.
