SpaceX is reportedly looking into a tender offer for the public, one where it will sell its insider shares to more people to increase its valuation to a massive $140 billion. The company has not yet publicized its plans to sell to the public its insider shares, with this remaining a secret from within the space company with time running out before the year closes.
Still, it has been a massive year for SpaceX with the many spaceflights, missions, and contracts that it already fulfilled and planning to do before 2022 ends.
SpaceX to Sell Insider Shares and Raise its Valuation to $140 billion
Bloomberg's report centers on anonymous insiders of the company that revealed SpaceX's tender offer, centering on its plans to sell insider shares in a new public offering coming soon. The goal is to raise the space company's valuation to $140 billion before 2022 ends, and its focus is to get this from its shareholders and securities.
The alleged shares for sale will debut at $77 per share once it begins selling to the world, and it is unknown when this will enter the market for the public to purchase.
SpaceX has yet to announce this publicly, and people familiar with the company's plans to raise its valuation said that it will happen soon, in time for another record-breaking year's end.
This new information is also coming from the SpaceX CEO's plans to raise the company's overall valuation, says the anonymous sources.

SpaceX and Elon Musk's Leadership
Elon Musk has been spending most of his time managing Twitter, and it is understandable as social media is facing an overhaul of its services and experience for the world.
And while people think that the likes of Tesla and SpaceX are currently being neglected, Musk claimed that these companies need minimal supervision to operate and deliver what it aims to bring to the public and their clients.
SpaceX's 2022 Missions
Despite Elon Musk being busy for the latter part of the year with his patronage of the newly-acquired social media company, Twitter, it still has not changed much for Tesla and SpaceX's success in the market. Particularly, it speaks a lot about SpaceX's continued launching of different missions and delivering payloads to orbit and back.
One of its recent missions was to deliver its rival's internet satellites to orbit with UK's OneWeb, which canceled its initial contract with Russia's Soyuz.
Additionally, SpaceX is also getting ready for its massive Moon mission coming soon, with one of its initial projects centering on the recent launch of the Arab Moon Rover, the Rashid, with the company's fulfillment.
On the other hand, SpaceX's Lunar project has more to it than 2023's dearMoon mission where it invited civilians to join, provided that they pay for their ticket to join its crew.
SpaceX portrayed an incredible performance this 2022, and it is not yet the end of the line for the company. All of this happened despite its CEO staying on the backburner in the latter part of the year, with the company still highly functioning and operational with minimal supervision.
These shares are going to help bump SpaceX up to a $140 billion valuation, a new milestone for its cosmic focus.
