SpaceX is officially going public at a massive $1.75 trillion valuation, which makes it larger than Tesla. The company is selling shares at $135 each to raise $75 billion.

## Idea

SpaceX is debuting on the stock market with a valuation higher than Tesla's, which is guaranteed to draw massive mainstream attention to the aerospace and space-economy sectors. Because SpaceX is led by Elon Musk, retail traders will likely bid up Tesla's stock as a proxy to cash in on the hype surrounding the launch. Additionally, this landmark event could lift sentiment for other major defense and aerospace contractors like Lockheed Martin and Boeing. Buying Tesla ahead of the actual SpaceX listing allows traders to front-run the market's excitement.
