Summary
SPCX finalized its IPO pricing at $135 per share, offering 555.6 million Class A shares for $74.4 billion in net proceeds ($85.7 billion with full overallotment). The pricing amendment fills in previously-blank terms from the June 1 S-1/A, locking in one of the largest public offerings on record.
New investors will own just 4.2% of outstanding shares but contribute 48% of total consideration, while existing holders—who paid an average of $6.48 per share—retain 95.8% ownership.
The $127.15-per-share immediate dilution (94.2% of the purchase price) reflects the premium new investors pay over the company's $7.85 post-offering book value per share; existing holders gain $5.60 per share in book value from the capital infusion. Mr. Musk will hold 82.4% of total voting power post-IPO through ownership of 849.5 million Class A shares and 5.2 billion Class B shares (91.6% of the Class B class). The dual-class structure grants Class B shares a 10-to-1 voting ratio, leaving public Class A holders with 11.5% of voting power despite representing a majority of economic interest post-offering. The company remains a controlled entity with concentrated decision-making authority in a single individual. Proceeds will fund AI infrastructure (data centers), space launch facilities, and satellite expansion. FY2024 capex rose $6.7 billion year-over-year for data centers and launch infrastructure, signaling aggressive buildout plans. The prospectus discloses two material regulatory risks: child-safety/CSAM exposure and a large-scale EU Data Protection Commission inquiry into the AI segment's privacy practices. Both represent ongoing compliance and reputational risks. Watch Q3 2026 for initial deployment of IPO proceeds and any updates on the EU inquiry.

Initial public offering price per share ........................................................................ $135.00
The company set the IPO price at $135.00 per share and is offering 555,555,555 shares of Class A common stock. The baseline filing contained placeholder blanks for these figures, indicating pricing had not yet been determined.

our pro forma net tangible book value as of March 31, 2026 was approximately $28,251 million, or $2.25 per share of common stock
The company disclosed pro forma net tangible book value of $28.3 billion ($2.25/share) before the offering. This baseline metric was blank in the prior filing and is now quantified, establishing the starting point for dilution calculations.

our adjusted pro forma net tangible book value as of March 31, 2026 would have been approximately $102,697 million, or $7.85 per share of common stock

an immediate dilution (i.e., the difference between the offering price and the adjusted pro forma net tangible book value immediately after this offering) to new investors purchasing shares of Class A common stock in this offering of $127.15 per share
New investors will pay $135.00 per share but receive stock with a net tangible book value of only $7.85 per share, resulting in immediate dilution of $127.15 per share (94.2% of the purchase price). This quantifies the premium new investors pay relative to the company's tangible asset backing.

Elon Musk and existing investors will own 12.5 billion shares (95.8% of outstanding stock) post-offering, representing $81.1 billion in total consideration at an average cost basis of $6.48 per share. Despite owning 95.8% of shares, they contributed only 52.0% of total consideration, reflecting the substantial premium paid by new investors.

New investors will own 555.6 million shares (4.2% of outstanding stock) for $75.0 billion in consideration (48.0% of total). This illustrates the asymmetry: new investors pay nearly half the total consideration for less than 5% ownership, while existing holders paid an average of $6.48/share versus the $135.00 IPO price.

This represents an immediate increase in the net tangible book value of $5.60 per share of common stock to Mr. Musk and other existing investors
The baseline filing stated existing investors would experience a "decrease" in net tangible book value per share; the current filing corrects this to an "increase" of $5.60 per share. Existing holders benefit from the capital infusion at a premium price, which raises book value per share from $2.25 to $7.85.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, as a result of the enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (Public Law No. 119-21), we assessed the realizability of our deferred tax assets and reversed the benefit that was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2024.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, we assessed the realizability of our deferred tax assets and reversed the benefit that was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2024 based on cumulative pretax losses adjusted for permanent differences and other negative evidence.
The current filing removes the reference to the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act (Public Law No. 119-21)" as the trigger for the valuation allowance reversal and instead cites "cumulative pretax losses adjusted for permanent differences and other negative evidence." Both versions describe the same $1,267 million tax provision increase and the reversal of the 2024 benefit; the change clarifies the accounting rationale (cumulative losses) rather than attributing the decision solely to the enactment of new legislation.

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $5,929 million from $4,867 million during the year ended December 31, 2023 to $10,796 million during the year ended December 31, 2024. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in capital expenditures of $6,748 million related to the build out of data centers and related infrastructure, and space launch facilities and related infrastructure, partially offset by an increase in cash received for the maturities of marketable securities of $981 million.
The current filing adds disclosure of investing activities for FY 2024 vs FY 2023, showing a $5.9 billion increase in cash used, driven by $6.7 billion more in capital expenditures for data centers and space launch facilities. This was partially offset by $981 million more cash from maturing marketable securities. The baseline filing did not include this annual comparison.

The year-over-year increase in Connectivity marketing costs for FY2025 was revised from $53 million to $40 million. International expansion costs remained unchanged at $37 million. The $13 million reduction in the marketing figure is a correction or reclassification; the total Connectivity SG&A increase of $135 million ($5 billion, FY2025 vs FY2024) is unchanged in both filings.

The breakdown of Connectivity SG&A cost drivers for FY2025 vs FY2024 was revised: marketing costs now stated as $40M (down from $53M in the baseline), while international expansion and overhead remain unchanged. The total SG&A increase ($135M) is unchanged, so this is a reallocation of the explanation, not a change in the underlying financials.

This increase was primarily driven by higher net income exclusive of non-cash items and an increase of $1,080 million for accounts payable and other liabilities as we continue to expand our infrastructure and timing of payments, and higher deferred revenue from cash received from upfront payments from our aviation customers.

Assuming no exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares, each $1.00 change in the assumed initial public offering price of $ per share (which is the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus) would cause the net proceeds from this offering, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, to change by approximately $ million, assuming no change to the number of shares of our Class A common stock offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus.

The baseline filing included two sensitivity disclosures (price-per-share change and share-count change), both with placeholder values. The current filing removed the price-per-share sensitivity and retained only the share-count sensitivity, now populated with $135 million per million shares.
