: Elon Musk’s SpaceX eyeing $150 billion valuation: reports

Elon Musk’s SpaceX seeks to increase its valuation to $150 billion, The Wall Street Journal reported late Friday, citing people familiar with the issue. The plan is to launch a new sale of employee shares at $81 a piece, the report said. That would come after a December sale that valued the aerospace company’s shares at $77, and at the time valued the company at about $140 billion. Privately held SpaceX occasionally gives former and current employees a window to sell stock they have received as part of their compensation. Bloomberg earlier reported on the latest employee share sale.
