SpaceX’s IPO could be largest in history. Here’s how it compares to previous record-holders

This is about seven-and-a-half times Alibaba’s inflation-adjusted valuation in 2014, which held the record before, and 15 times Facebook’s IPO, blowing modern service giants Uber and Airbnb out of the water entirely. 

SpaceX already made history by raising $75 billion on Thursday, and pulling off its anticipated IPO will make thousands of SpaceX employees millionaires and could push up Elon Musk’s net worth high enough to make him a trillionaire.
