Musk hinted that SpaceX may choose to go public for the first time in June to coincide with a planetary event and his 55th birthday. According to five informed sources, the head of the rocket manufacturing company is considering timing the IPO around the moment when Venus and Jupiter are extremely close, which would suggest a mid-June IPO date, coinciding with Musk's 55th birthday. For most companies, this decision-making process is unimaginable, but Musk has long had a habit of incorporating symbolic meaning and "playing jokes" in major business decisions. Previously, the Tesla boss had announced plans to take the company private at a price of $420 per share, widely seen as a nod to the "4/20" holiday celebrated by marijuana enthusiasts. Renaming Twitter to X was also seen as a tribute to the early startup company X.com.
