SpaceX, now part of the Nasdaq 100 with a valuation around $1.5 trillion, is transitioning from a rocket business to an AI and data centre conglomerate, with AI contracts driving revenue growth despite ongoing losses. Key risks include dependency on short-term AI contracts, heavy investment burn, and investor uncertainty following IPO lockup expiry.
