Elon Musk Says SpaceX Will Hit $1 Trillion in Revenue by 2030 -- 1 Year Faster Than the Original Timeline. Here's the Math Behind the New Number.

Overview

Before SpaceX (NASDAQ: SPCX) went public on June 12, its founder and CEO, Elon Musk, claimed his company could generate more than $1 trillion in annual revenue by 2031. After its IPO, Musk moved that target up by a year to 2030.
