On June 12, 2026, SpaceX made headlines by completing its initial public offering (IPO) on the Nasdaq, marking the largest IPO in history with a valuation of $1.77 trillion. The stock opened at $150 and surged by over 30% during trading, closing at $160.99, which pushed the company's market capitalization to $2.1 trillion. This surge significantly increased CEO Elon Musk's net worth to approximately $1.05 trillion, making him the world's first billionaire with a net worth exceeding $1 trillion. The IPO's success reflects investor confidence in SpaceX's growth potential, particularly in light of its ambitious Terafab project. In a separate development, Kimi announced the launch of the world's first AI-native credit card, which allows users to convert their spending into AI computing power. This initiative, revealed on the same day, is a collaboration with a major state-owned bank and aims to innovate the financial landscape by integrating AI services into credit card benefits. Additionally, SK Hynix reported a fire incident at its facility in Cheongju, South Korea, which was the second fire this month. Fortunately, there were no injuries or gas leaks, and the situation was quickly controlled. These events highlight significant advancements in technology and finance while also addressing operational challenges faced by major companies.
