PANews reported on June 12 that SpaceX President and Chief Operating Officer Gwynne Shotwell stated in an interview that SpaceX's IPO does not aim to achieve all its fundraising goals on the first day. The company hopes to attract investors willing to commit to long-term growth. "Not everything needs to be accomplished on the first day of the IPO."
Shotwell stated that SpaceX sees itself as an infrastructure company, not only building rockets and launch sites, but also deploying data centers on the ground and in orbit in the future, and said that the company is "100 percent" an emerging competitor in the field of artificial intelligence.
When discussing key metrics that investors should focus on, she pointed out that they should pay close attention to Starlink user growth and Starship development progress, while also mentioning Starlink Mobile and the expansion of the Grok ecosystem operated by xAI.
In addition, Shotwell revealed that SpaceX plans to launch its first AI1 satellite by the end of next year. Prior to that, it will deploy computing power for some Starlink broadband and mobile communication satellites to validate related technologies and operational models. She also emphasized that SpaceX is committed to ensuring the U.S. government has access to state-of-the-art technological capabilities.
