상장 첫날 '대박'..'1조 달러' 역사상 최고 부자로 / SBS 8뉴스

Anchor In the United States, the aerospace company SpaceX has gone public on the stock market, raising the largest amount of capital in history. CEO Elon Musk has become the first "trillionaire" in human history. However, there are criticisms that this corporate valuation is too inflated. Correspondent Kim Beom-ju reports from New York. Reporter On its first day of trading, SpaceX's stock price rose 19%, surpassing a market capitalization of $2.1 trillion and climbing to the 6th position among listed companies in the U.S. Elon Musk, who holds more than 40% of the shares, has also become the first person in history to possess a fortune of over $1 trillion—equivalent to more than 1,500 trillion Korean won. [Elon Musk/SpaceX CEO: To everyone watching this scene, SpaceX is going to take you to the Moon, to Mars, and beyond.] Investors gathered in front of the NASDAQ exchange in New York also cheered and rejoiced. [Ben Broughen / Former SpaceX Employee and Shareholder: We have Starlink, and we are developing artificial intelligence. We will build data centers in space, and we will create things beyond that.] [You are rich now, too. (It’s a stroke of luck. I’m glad to be able to help my friends.)] However, on the other hand, analyses are simultaneously emerging that SpaceX’s stock price today (the 13th) is inflated compared to its actual value. SpaceX has projected that it could earn up to $28.5 trillion in the future, with 90% of that coming from the field of artificial intelligence. While its flagship project is to build large-scale solar-powered data centers in space, there is considerable skepticism regarding whether this is feasible. [Nicholas Owens / Analyst at investment firm Morningstar: If only the rocket and space internet systems take root and the AI ​​business fails, the stock price will drop to $40 (one-quarter of its current price).] Chinese and Hong Kong capital was excluded from participating in this SpaceX IPO, and analysts suggest that similar measures could follow for future listings of U.S. high-tech companies.
