SpaceX's first-ever investment-grade bond offering will attract heavy demand for one simple reason: nobody owns it yet. Bonds priced wide to BBB peers makes it a screaming buy for credit investors hungry for AI-linked diversification.
SpaceX sits on $100 billion in cash, is committed to investment-grade ratings, and has a liquidity profile that can sustain its burn rate for 3–4 years. That's why the ratings agencies didn't flinch.
SpaceX raised approximately $85 billion in equity through its IPO and may need an additional $100 billion in debt for its AI and space buildout.
SpaceX is sitting on $100 billion in cash, and its liquidity profile is considered strong enough to sustain 3–4 years of capital burn.
Credit markets aren't scared of the Elon factor — they see it as a reward. Robert Schiffman argues Musk is to this generation what Buffett was to the last one: a rare value creator whose vision deserves a premium.
