Thesis

Bookrunner press leak target is $1.75T IPO valuation. To close day 1 at > $2T market cap requires ~14.3% first-day pop — meaningfully easier than the 20% pop threshold. Given mega-tech IPO base rates (Snap +44%, Airbnb +112%, Rivian +29%, Reddit +48%, Coinbase intraday +47%) and SpaceX-specific demand stack, probability of clearing the ~14% threshold sits modestly above 50/50.

1.At the press-leaked $1.75T IPO valuation, $2T close = +14.3% pop. Historically easier hurdle than +20%.
2.Pre-IPO share count from S-1 (May 1, 2026, post-Stock-Split + Class C Reclassification + Preferred Conversion): 6,932,508,000 Class A + 5,602,790,410 Class B = 12,535,298,410 basic shares outstanding before the IPO issuance. At $1.75T / 12.5B shares ≈ $140/share IPO. $2T market cap requires share price ~$160 at close.
3.Resolution discipline: uses BASIC shares outstanding at close, not fully diluted. Excludes Musk's 1.3B restricted performance-conditioned Class B unless triggers vest within first trading day (extremely unlikely).
4.Risk: if IPO prices below $1.75T target (institutional pushback), the +14% pop threshold delivers a lower absolute mcap. Probability framing is at the target valuation; if pricing comes in light, this call gets harder.
