Ottawa. The introduction of SpaceX to the stock market is seen as a major shift in the technology sector, where the rivalry between Elon Musk and AI giants redefines the hierarchies on Wall Street.
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS

- •Starlink generated $11.4 billion in revenue in 2025, serving as the financial engine behind the operation
- •SpaceX leases its excess data center capacity to Anthropic for $1.25 billion per month until May 2029
BIASES
Rivalry framing: The Financial Post prioritizes the competitive angle between Musk and AI platforms over the technical analysis of SpaceX's IPOInvestor prism: The coverage orients the narrative towards the implications for financial markets and institutional funds, at the expense of space-related or geopolitical issuesLow coverage of social dimensions: The impact of Starlink on global connectivity or questions of space monopoly regulation are absent from the angle retained
SPAINDOMINANT ANGLE
Madrid sees an industrial and financial opportunity in SpaceX's IPO, with Banco Santander's presence in the syndicate of 23 banks as a symbol of Spain's economic integration into major US technological cycles.
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
- •Banco Santander joins the syndicate of 23 banks colocating the SpaceX IPO, alongside Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Citi, and JPMorgan as global coordinators
- •SpaceX aims to raise $75 billion on the Nasdaq on June 12, 2026 (symbol SPCX), for a valuation of up to $1.75 billion - a record beating Saudi Aramco ($25 billion in 2019)
- •Starlink generates $11.4 billion in revenue in 2025 (+50%) and $4.42 billion in operating profit, offsetting the $6.36 billion in operating losses of the xAI division
BIASES
