SpaceX IPO draws more than $70 billion in retail orders

SpaceX's IPO attracted more than $70 billion in retail subscription orders, and the company will allocate at least 20% of the offering to retail investors. The planned offering is structured so roughly $62.6 billion, about 78% of expected proceeds, would be used to repay company debt rather than primarily fund new launches. Heavy retail demand plus a sizable retail allocation gives everyday investors rare access to one of the world's most valuable private companies while locking early backers and creditors into a major liquidity event. If priced and sold as planned, the deal could rank among the largest IPOs ever and reshape who captures gains from SpaceX's private-to-public transition.
