SpaceX's IPO prospectus, now public, confirms that Elon Musk and other insiders will retain dominant voting control of the company after its listing due to a dual-class share structure. The company is aiming for a June listing at a $1.75 trillion valuation, raising up to $75 billion, and an unusually large 30% retail investor allocation.

If successful, SpaceX would be one of the ten most valuable public companies on earth.
