This post misinterprets recent financial disclosures regarding SpaceX's June 2026 IPO. While Prince Alwaleed bin Talal's combined stake is to be worth over $10 billion at a $1.75 trillion valuation, this represents the appreciation of an existing holding rather than a new $10 billion purchase. The projections of a $2 trillion valuation and the comparison to Saudi Aramco's market size are consistent with current financial reporting and SEC filings.

The content is provided as a direct post from the specified Threads account, and the timing aligns with the viral spread of SpaceX IPO news in June 2026. - misleading: Prince Alwaleed bin Talal’s investment firm reportedly purchased a $10 billion pre-IPO stake in SpaceX.
Kingdom Holding Company (KHC) disclosed in June 2026 that its existing 0.63% stake (combined with the Prince's private office) would be worth approximately $10.6 billion if SpaceX hits a $1.75 trillion valuation. There is no record of a new $10 billion purchase; the firm's entire market cap is only approximately $12 billion. - mostly true: Prince Alwaleed bin Talal projected that SpaceX could reach a $2 trillion valuation.
While official KHC filings use a $1.75 trillion illustrative valuation, Bloomberg and other financial outlets reported in April and May 2026 that SpaceX was initially targeting a valuation above $2 trillion before adjusting it for the IPO. - verified: Prince Alwaleed bin Talal claimed SpaceX's market size could rival that of Saudi Aramco.
The SpaceX IPO is widely reported as a direct challenge to Saudi Aramco's 2019 record for the largest IPO in history. At a $1.75T-$2T valuation, SpaceX's market cap would be in the same tier as Saudi Aramco's current valuation.
