United States tech selloff wipes out Musk trillionaire status
Tap title to read story
In the United States, SpaceX shares have fallen sharply only weeks after the company’s record-breaking initial public offering. SpaceX went public on June 12, 2026 on the Nasdaq under the ticker SPCX, raising about $75 billion at an initial price of $135 per share and debuting at a valuation near $1.77 trillion. Early trading briefly pushed its market value above $2.1 trillion, making founder and CEO Elon Musk a paper trillionaire. Amid a wider late-June 2026 technology selloff linked to interest rate concerns and artificial intelligence market fears, SPCX fell roughly 32 percent, cutting Musk’s net worth to about $970.2 billion by June 24.
