SpaceX Sheds Over $1.2 Trillion in Market Cap From Peak
SpaceX has erased more than $1.2 trillion in market value since shares peaked at $225.64 in June, a loss roughly equal to Tesla's entire valuation.
Elon Musk's SpaceX has wiped out more than $1.2 trillion in market capitalization since the company's shares reached an all-time high of $225.64 in June, a staggering decline that underscores how sharply sentiment has shifted around one of the world's most valuable private companies.

While SpaceX continues to execute high-profile launches and expand its Starlink satellite internet business, the valuation correction suggests those operational milestones have not been enough to sustain the peak pricing private buyers were willing to accept earlier this year.
The situation highlights the volatility that can accompany sky-high valuations for private technology and aerospace firms, where enthusiasm can inflate prices rapidly — and corrections can be equally swift. Continue reading at US Top News and Analysis.
