Becoming a public company will lead to more scrutiny, but Musk will keep almost total control. <\/p>\n

He will maintain roughly 40% of SpaceX total equity through his holding of different types of shares, which come with extra voting rights meaning he effectively controls 85% of the company.<\/p>\n

With so much control consolidated with Musk, SpaceX will not even need to have on its board of directors anyone considered to be “independent” – who does not have a direct personal or financial interest in the company.<\/p>\n

Such control creates potential risk for investors, according to analysis from Harvard Law School, external<\/span><\/a>, because SpaceX insiders will be able to make decisions on business deals, including possible acquisitions of other Musk-owned entities, and his compensation.<\/p>\n

Already, SpaceX has acquired Musk’s startup xAI, which itself acquired the social media platform X in 2025. Musk bought the platform formerly known as Twitter in 2022.<\/p>\n

Asked about the governance structure, chief operating officer Shotwell told CNBC: “There is no-one who can run this company other than Elon, frankly. We want Elon to have that kind of control.”<\/p>\n

Musk has divided public opinion in recent years, using his power and wealth in controversial ways.<\/p>\n

He helped fund Donald Trump’s second run for office before their relationship imploded, secured billions in US government contracts and has dabbled in the internal affairs and politics of other countries.<\/p>\n

His posts and comments about matters in the UK, Germany and other European states have frequently angered politicians. Sometimes they appeared to have come at a cost to his businesses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
