PANews reported on December 6th that, according to sources familiar with the matter, SpaceX is in talks to sell internal shares, a deal that would value Elon Musk's rocket and satellite manufacturer at $800 billion. If confirmed, this new deal would make SpaceX the world's most valuable startup again, surpassing the previous record of $500 billion set by OpenAI in October. This valuation represents a significant increase from the $212 per share valuation set in July, when the company raised funds and sold shares at a valuation of $400 billion.

Two people familiar with the discussions revealed that SpaceX has informed investors and representatives of financial institutions that the company plans to conduct its initial public offering (IPO) in the second half of next year. These talks come as SpaceX is considering selling shares held by investors.
