Could SpaceX Go Public Through a Merger With EchoStar (SATS)?
SpaceX may go public through a merger with EchoStar, which offers wireless phone and satellite TV services. The two companies already have business ties, with SpaceX buying wireless spectrum from EchoStar in 2023. A merger could speed up the process of going public, avoid IPO fees, and provide a stable valuation. EchoStar's chairman has praised SpaceX, and the merger could help expand Starlink. However, no plans have been announced yet.
