Elon Musk claims SpaceX could eventually exceed global economy value

Elon Musk posted on X on October 8, 2026, that he believes SpaceX could one day be worth far more than the entire global economy. He said the probability of reaching this goal is not zero, but he did not claim it was likely.

SpaceX is currently valued at $2.2 trillion. The global economy is about 57 times larger than that. To be worth 100 times more than today's global economy, SpaceX would need a value of around $12 quadrillion. That would require its stock price to rise roughly 5,500 times.

SpaceX listed its shares in June 2026. Since then, the stock has gained only one percent. Musk made a similar claim in July 2026, saying SpaceX could be worth more than all of Earth if it achieved its goals.
