SpaceX Locks In $25 Billion Debt Deal on Massive Demand
SpaceX closed a $25B debt raise backed by nearly $90B in orders, signaling overwhelming investor appetite for the rocket giant.
SpaceX just proved the market can't get enough of it. The company pulled in $25 billion through a debt sale — and that number could've been a whole lot bigger. Orders poured in at nearly $90 billion, meaning investors were ready to throw roughly three and a half times more money at SpaceX than it actually took.

Raising this kind of debt so quickly after going public suggests management sees near-term deployment opportunities and isn't waiting around.
For retail traders watching from the sidelines, the message is clear: institutional money is voting loudly on SpaceX's future. The demand gap between what was offered and what was wanted is the real story here. Continue reading at US Top News and Analysis.
