A new report indicates that the upcoming SpaceX IPO is poised to have a valuation exceeding $1.7 trillion, making it larger than the combined valuation of all 12 aerospace and defense companies listed on the S&P 500 index. While industry analysts like Gene Munster and Ron Baron are bullish on SpaceX's prospects, some experts, including NYU Stern Professor Aswath Damodaran, express skepticism regarding its valuation and a management-favorable share structure.
