Shares of SpaceX climbed in their first day of trading on Friday following a $75 billion IPO that smashed records and instantly turned the crown jewel of Elon Musk’s empire into one of the most valuable public companies in the world.
The stock climbed as high as $176.52, or 31% above its offering price, less than two hours after the shares started trading shortly before noon in New York. The jump in price turned Musk into the world’s first trillionaire and sent the company’s market capitalization above $2 trillion.

Roughly 7 million barrels of daily oil and fuel shipments are flowing through the Strait of Hormuz, or about half of the volumes stranded at the start of the Iran war, says US Energy Secretary Chris Wright. Speaking during the Bloomberg Energy Executive Briefing in Houston on Friday morning, Wright says the US will fully reopen the waterway with or without Iran’s assistance. At the start of the war in late February, about 20 million barrels of daily shipments were stranded as the strait was effectively shut. Several million barrels were diverted to alternative ports outside the Persian Gulf, leaving about 14 million trapped, Wright says.
