The discussion is dominated by massive IPOs from SpaceX and potentially OpenAI, both leveraging AI as the core of their future growth narrative. These companies are using visionary AI-centric stories to justify near-trillion-dollar valuations, signaling a new era where AI is the central investment thesis for public offerings.
A key detail in the SpaceX IPO is the dual-class share structure giving Elon Musk 85.1% voting power.
