**NEW YORK** – SpaceX, Elon Musk’s space exploration company, is planning a tender offer in December to sell existing shares at $135 each, according to sources familiar with the matter. This would value the company at over $250 billion. The news, initially reported by the Financial Times, comes amidst expectations that a second Trump presidency will benefit SpaceX through more favorable government regulation and increased national prioritization of space exploration.
The anticipated shift in Washington’s approach under a Trump administration is expected to impact several areas. Musk’s Mars colonization ambitions are likely to receive greater support, aligning with a renewed focus on the Artemis program and potential uncrewed missions to Mars this decade. Furthermore, SpaceX could see a relaxation of regulations concerning worker safety and the safety of private spaceflight participants. This comes after a Reuters investigation last year revealed at least 600 worker injuries at SpaceX facilities, highlighting concerns about the company’s safety practices. SpaceX has not yet commented on the tender offer or the anticipated regulatory changes.
