SpaceX’s 30x Surge to $12 Trillion by 2035 and the Mars Effect
By Brian Wang
Mach33, ARK’s open-source SpaceX model projects SpaceX to be worth ~$2.5 trillion in 2030 and about $12 trillion around 2035.
I discuss SpaceX future value and the Mars plans in a new video.
This will be driven by the success of the reusable Starship and massive deployment of more Starlink satellites.
Elon Musk has updated the Mars and Starship plans.
Starship and the Booster will eventually each be made about 20% more powerful. There will be versions by the end of the year that will be improved by about 5-10%.
The new Starship will not have heat shields around the engines. The new engines can withstand the higher temperatures without protection.
SpaceX has a 50-50 chance of getting refueling working in time for an unmanned launch to Mars at the end of 2026. They will then go with larger and larger mission every 26 months.
SpaceX plans to make about 1000 Starships every year and to make 5000 Starlink satellites per year. The number of Starlink satellites could increase to 10,000 per year.
"The number of Starlink satellites could increase to 10,000 per year."
I remember O'Bozo asking, "At some point, don't you have enough?" Of course, he apparently never reached that point - so there's that.
