    SpaceX is preparing for liftoff. After months of speculation, the company could file for a historic IPO as early as this week — seeking $75 billion in funding that would push the company’s value to $1.75 trillion.

    On today’s Big Take podcast, Bloomberg Tech’s Ed Ludlow joins David Gura to break down the timing of the mega-offering. They discuss the challenges SpaceX could face taking its Mars-focused mission public, how the move could push Elon Musk’s net worth past the $1 trillion mark and what this all means for everyday investors looking to get in on the action.
