We retail investors love a good show — and right now, nothing is more explosive than the upcoming market clash between Sam Altman’s OpenAI and Elon Musk’s SpaceX.
One promises to sell artificial intelligence to every business with a laptop.

The other wants to beam internet from space while building a bus to Mars.
But if you’re choosing who will truly dominate the stock market, the frontrunner is clear: OpenAI. At least, that’s the view of the author — and many analysts agree. Sam Altman, despite his flaws, has cleaner books, clearer revenue models, and a far more professional machine behind him.
Elon, meanwhile — charming as he may be — is still burning through mountains of cash to fund rockets, satellites, and Star Wars–style dreams.
And unlike Musk, Sam doesn’t miss deadlines quite so often.
We are on the verge of witnessing three of the biggest tech IPOs in history as OpenAI, SpaceX, and Anthropic race to pull in as much capital as possible from a market still intoxicated by the AI boom. Sure, many people still like Elon… but the fatigue is real.
People want results. They want a plan. They want a CEO who isn’t firing off thousands of controversial tweets in his mid-50s, calling for the dissolution of the EU or — astonishingly — advocating war crimes.

Elon’s rocket math no longer works for retail investors
Musk keeps distracting the audience with shiny objects and online drama, but Tesla shares are down year-over-year, the financials are underwhelming, and investors are beginning to treat him like a friend who never pays you back.
This is the same Musk who attended a dinner with President Trump to celebrate the illegal capture of Venezuela’s President Maduro — and then publicly called him an alleged pedophile in a now-infamous deleted tweet. His political extremism helped push Tesla off its throne as the world’s largest EV maker in 2025, and sales have fallen sharply across global markets.
Trump even claimed Musk is “addicted to fentanyl and almost never sober.”
Meanwhile, OpenAI is quiet on the outside but ruthless on the inside. Altman is winning lawsuits, staying focused, and chasing enterprise contracts. The legal fight between him and Musk over OpenAI’s origins continues in San Francisco — and Sam showed up heavily armed. His legal firepower? Morrison & Foerster and Wachtell Lipton.
Musk’s legal bench? Small boutique firms — plus one guy who moonlights as a clown, Jaymie Parkkinen. “None of my comedy friends believe I’m a lawyer,” Parkkinen admitted. That’s not a metaphor. It is written in court transcripts.

OpenAI is already making money — real money
This is where the gap becomes obvious.
ChatGPT is not just a cool product — it’s a full-fledged enterprise engine. Microsoft invested billions. Companies pay subscriptions. Every API call means revenue. Yes, compute costs are high, but demand is higher.
Once OpenAI hits the stock market, it will roar.
Even Jim Cramer weighed in:

“The biggest winner from limiting power-gating could be META,” he said, “because it can cut costs — and OpenAI won’t be able to build its expensive infrastructure: not enough workers, not enough equipment.”
Maybe. But once OpenAI opens the floodgates of public capital, everything changes — fast.

Retail investors prefer banks over chaos
OpenAI reached a valuation of $500 billion in October and now aims to double it through a $1 trillion IPO. Wall Street loves anything that produces predictable cash flow — especially one that doesn’t need government subsidies, NASA babysitting, or a launch pad.
SpaceX, meanwhile, sold shares last December at an $800 billion valuation, and Musk insists he will list the company in Q4 2026. But every Musk timeline feels the same: loud, self-confident — and utterly unreliable.
Starship is still delayed.

Starlink has become a strange hybrid of telecom service and satellite monopoly.

Yes, it might one day produce consistent revenue — but right now it’s burning cash in orbit with no clear business model.

IPO analysts are calling this a market-shifting moment
Samuel Kerr of Mergermarket says this wave of IPOs could reshape how tech companies raise capital. For years, firms stayed private to shield intellectual property from reporting requirements. Now, the AI arms race demands money — billions of dollars. Staying private simply doesn’t work when you need 100,000 GPUs.
That’s why these IPOs are happening.
JPMorgan’s Matthieu Wiltz confirms a “strong demand environment,” with deal value up 47% despite global tariffs and wars. “There is excess liquidity,” he told Bloomberg. “We even decline deals when we think there are no covenants.”
But when structure exists — JPMorgan is ready.

And OpenAI has structure.

SpaceX valuations? Mostly hype
Kerr floated the idea of SpaceX hitting a $1.5 trillion valuation. But it’s just speculation. Retail investors have been burned before. They remember promises. They remember earnings calls. And yes — they remember the crashes.
Generation Z investors prefer Sam over Elon. Nobody makes TikToks about Starship engines.

But everyone uses ChatGPT.

Final verdict: The winner seems obvious
While Musk is juggling politics, scandals, legal chaos, and multi-billion-dollar hardware challenges, Sam Altman is staying laser-focused:
predictable revenue,massive global user base,enterprise adoption,deep-pocketed partners,and a product already embedded into daily life.
OpenAI looks like the next great stock-market titan.

SpaceX looks… visionary, expensive, and chronically late.
And investors — especially younger ones — are casting their votes with their wallets.
The real battle of Silicon Valley has begun. And Sam Altman is currently leading.

🚀 SpaceX Kicks Off 2026 With Successful Launch of Italian COSMO-SkyMed Military-Civil Satellite
Vandenberg Space Force Base, CA — January 2, 2026 — SpaceX opened its 2026 launch manifest on a high note with a successful Falcon 9 mission carrying Italy’s advanced COSMO-SkyMed Second Generation Flight Model 3 (CSG-FM3) satellite into orbit. This mission marks the first orbital launch of the year and reinforces SpaceX’s role as a key provider of global access to space for both government and international clients. (Space)
🛰️ Mission Overview
At 6:09 p.m. Pacific Time on January 2, 2026, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Launch Complex 4 East at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, delivering Italy’s Earth observation satellite into a sun-synchronous low Earth orbit at approximately 620 km altitude. Approximately 13 minutes after liftoff, the COSMO-SkyMed spacecraft separated from the second stage and began its mission operations. (Space)
The Falcon 9 first-stage booster — Booster B1081 — completed a successful landing shortly after liftoff, marking another milestone of SpaceX’s reusable launch system capabilities. (Daily Galaxy)
🇮🇹 Dual-Use Satellite With Strategic Importance
The COSMO-SkyMed Second Generation program is a state-of-the-art dual-use Earth observation constellation developed jointly by the Italian Space Agency (ASI) and the Italian Ministry of Defence, with the spacecraft built by aerospace leader Thales Alenia Space. The CSG-FM3 satellite uses advanced X-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR), enabling high-resolution imaging under all weather and lighting conditions — a critical capability for military reconnaissance, disaster response, environmental monitoring, and climate research. (Space)
Italian officials have emphasized the program’s collaborative nature, saying it exemplifies strong public-private synergy between government agencies and the national space industry. (ANSA.it)
🌍 Enhancing Earth Observation & International Cooperation
The launch increases the COSMO-SkyMed constellation’s strength to five operational satellites, improving imaging frequency and data delivery for both civilian and defense applications worldwide. Beyond national priorities, the data gathered by this constellation supports international initiatives in emergency management, urban planning, and environmental sustainability. (Space)
For SpaceX, this mission not only represents a successful start to the year but also underscores the company’s ongoing importance as a trusted launch partner for global space programs. (Daily Galaxy)

When SpaceX's valuation skyrocketed from 400 billion to 1.5 trillion within six months, and when xAI swallowed the X platform to form a hundred billion AI giant, Musk's business empire is playing a grand game that spans across space and AI. His mentioned 'three trillion market value target', is it a crazy fantasy or a step-by-step layout?

The confidence of rocket-style valuation
SpaceX's 1.5 trillion valuation is not reliant on a single aerospace business. Starlink satellite internet monopolizes 65% of near-Earth orbital resources, holding the privilege of 'light-speed network in a vacuum'; the Starship rocket progresses smoothly, which could support lunar and Mars missions in the future; the space data center plan directly addresses the computing power pain points of the AI era—natural cooling and unlimited solar energy, advantages that leave ground data centers far behind. This 'physics arbitrage' logic allows SpaceX to break out of the traditional aerospace valuation framework.

The community #Dogecoin continues to ride the wave of memes with ambitions of 'to the moon' and technical breakthroughs. Here are the current trends:
1. The meme from #SpaceX Elon Musk fuels fantasies about monthly payments in DOGE 🚀
2. Analysts note the bullish pattern 'inverted head and shoulders' 📈
3. Traders are focusing on the resistance level of $0.20 after a weekly increase of 14%

Multiple media outlets reported on January 1 that the American aerospace technology company SpaceX, along with OpenAI and Anthropic in the field of artificial intelligence, is preparing to go public. Sources say that the total fundraising amount for the three companies is expected to reach hundreds of billions of dollars, with a combined valuation potentially as high as 13 trillion yuan.
It is reported that OpenAI is negotiating a new round of financing with a valuation of $750 billion (approximately 5.2 trillion yuan). Anthropic is also in financing talks, with a valuation potentially exceeding $300 billion (approximately 2.1 trillion yuan). SpaceX is conducting a secondary stock sale, and the company's valuation is expected to reach $800 billion (approximately 5.6 trillion yuan). Analysts point out that SpaceX's fundraising alone could set a record for the largest IPO in history.

Elon Musk, the visionary tech mogul, closed out 2025 with a long list of ambitious public promises that once again went unfulfilled. Whether it was projects under SpaceX, Tesla, xAI, or his federal DOGE initiative, reality often fell far short of the bold projections.

SpaceX and Mars? Still No Human Mission
Back in 2011, Musk claimed that humans would reach Mars within 10 years. Now in 2025, 14 years later, there's still no human mission in sight. Even his 2016 promise that people would land on Mars by 2025 turned out to be false. While SpaceX continues launching rockets, they're limited to Earth’s orbit.

Robotaxis? Just a Few in Austin
In Tesla’s Q2 2025 earnings call, Musk declared:
“By the end of the year, Tesla robotaxis will cover half of the U.S. population.”

The truth? Robotaxis are only operating in Austin, and even there, vehicles require human safety drivers. The promised fully autonomous, empty Teslas? Nowhere to be seen.

AGI and xAI: Artificial General Intelligence? Maybe Next Year
Musk claimed AGI would arrive in 2025. When asked by a Google AI developer, he simply responded:
“Next year.”

But as of January 1, 2026, AGI has yet to materialize.

Tesla Roadster? Not Even a Prototype
On the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Musk said he would unveil a prototype of the long-awaited Tesla Roadster by the end of 2025. Result? No show, no model, no flying car – despite earlier promises. Preorders have been open since 2017.

DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency): Trimming Waste?
After Donald Trump’s reelection, Musk took charge of the DOGE initiative, promising to cut federal waste, fraud, and abuse by $2 trillion.

But over time, that number shrank – from $2 trillion to $1 trillion, and finally to just “hundreds of billions.” No concrete savings were ever confirmed.

Hyperloop and Other Projects? Radio Silence
Musk’s Hyperloop was once described as the fastest way to move between cities. It was supposed to be operational by 2025. Reality? Not a word. No progress. No updates.

What Does This Mean for Investors and Fans?
While Musk remains one of the most influential figures in the world, 2025 has shown that not every public statement he makes is grounded in reality. Some projects may simply be delayed — others may never lift off.
The real question now is: When will Elon Musk be held accountable for a growing list of public promises that continue to go unmet?
