# It is reported that Morgan Stanley may become the underwriter for SpaceX's IPO

> Morgan Stanley may become the underwriter for SpaceX's IPO due to its close relationship with Musk. Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan are also competing to participate. Musk has not yet selected a lead bank and may decide before the end of the year. Whether to proceed with the IPO depends on market conditions, and SpaceX may delay or abandon the listing. CFO Bret Johnsen stated that the company is preparing for an IPO next year, but the timing and valuation are uncertain. SpaceX seeks to raise over $25 billion in the IPO

According to sources cited by Reuters, Morgan Stanley (MS.US) may become the underwriter for SpaceX's new stock listing, due to Morgan Stanley's close relationship with SpaceX CEO Elon Musk. Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs (GS.US) and JP Morgan (JPM.US) are also competing to participate in this IPO.

It is reported that although Musk has not yet selected a lead bank, a decision may be made by the end of the year, but whether to proceed with the IPO ultimately depends on market conditions, and SpaceX may choose to delay or completely abandon the listing.

SpaceX CFO Bret Johnsen previously stated in an internal memo that the company is preparing for an IPO next year, but whether it will actually happen, when it will happen, and the valuation level remain highly uncertain. Reports indicate that SpaceX is seeking to raise over $25 billion in the IPO
