Musk Claims SpaceX Could Hit $1T by 2030 as Calls Grow for Tesla Merger

Musk Says SpaceX Could Hit $1 Trillion in Revenue by 2030 as Pompliano Pushes for Tesla Merger

As a researcher following SpaceX, I’ve been tracking their ambitious growth projections. Elon Musk recently stated he believes SpaceX could be generating around $1 trillion in revenue each year by 2030. This announcement came shortly after their successful initial public offering. Interestingly, investor Anthony Pompliano has publicly suggested that Musk consider combining Tesla and SpaceX into one larger company.

  • Key Takeaways:

  • Elon Musk projected SpaceX could reach about $1 trillion in revenue by 2030, versus Morgan Stanley’s $330 billion estimate.
  • SpaceX raised roughly $75 billion at a $1.75 trillion valuation in its June 12 Nasdaq debut.
  • SpaceX holds 18,712 BTC, putting a bitcoin treasury worth about $1.29 billion on Wall Street’s radar.

A Trillion-Dollar Projection

Elon Musk estimates SpaceX could generate around $1 trillion in annual revenue by 2030, and potentially even more by 2031. He shared this prediction on X (formerly Twitter) shortly after SpaceX had a record-breaking initial public offering.

The rocket maker listed on the Nasdaq on June 12 under the ticker SPCX, selling shares at a fixed $135 to raise roughly $75 billion at a $1.75 trillion valuation. Reported demand reached about $250 billion, roughly four times the shares available, underscoring the appetite for Musk’s most valuable private venture.

Elon Musk predicts SpaceX will generate significantly more revenue than previously estimated by financial analysts. For example, Morgan Stanley, a key bank involved in SpaceX’s public offering, projected revenues of around $330 billion by 2030, and $160 billion as early as 2028.

SpaceX’s revenue reached $18.7 billion in 2025, an increase from approximately $14 billion the previous year. While ambitious, reaching a $1 trillion valuation by 2030 would mean growing at a rate no company of its size has ever managed – a 53-fold increase in just five years.

Pompliano Calls for a Tesla-SpaceX Merger

The bullish outlook drew an immediate response from the investor community with Anthony Pompliano, a prominent crypto and equities investor, saying he hoped Musk would merge Tesla and SpaceX “as soon as possible,” adding:

As a Tesla investor, I’d like to see Elon Musk combine Tesla and SpaceX into a single company, giving investors a clear opportunity to support a truly groundbreaking leader of our time.

It’s probably not going to happen in the near future. Tesla and SpaceX are separate companies with different owners and operate in different industries – one builds cars, the other explores space. Still, these kinds of statements show just how much excitement there is around everything Elon Musk is building.

Crypto Markets Continue to Watch

The SpaceX listing carries direct relevance for crypto investors because, as of March 31, SpaceX held 18,712 BTC, with a fair value of about $1.29 billion, ranking it among the largest corporate bitcoin holders. Bitcoin.com News reported that the IPO put that bitcoin treasury squarely on Wall Street’s radar, ahead of holders including Coinbase Global.

The debut also reshaped the makeup of big-tech balance sheets with Strategy executive chairman Michael Saylor saying that 25% of the “Mag8” now holds bitcoin following the listing. In all of this, Tesla, which ranks among public bitcoin holders with 11,509 BTC, deepens the overlap between Musk’s companies and the digital-asset market.

Looking at the near term, Musk’s $1 trillion target functions as a long-term aspiration rather than a forecast the market is pricing in. What is concrete, however, is that SpaceX is now a public company with a multibillion-dollar bitcoin position and its performance will be watched closely by investors who track both Musk and the crypto market he keeps pulling into his orbit.
