The buzz around that $800 billion SpaceX valuation? Turns out it's not what people think. Musk just clarified they're not out raising funds—the company's been running positive cash flow for years now. They've actually been doing regular buyback programs, letting employees and early backers cash out their shares.

What's really driving the valuation spike? Two words: Starship momentum and Starlink expansion. The rocket program's hitting milestones faster than expected, while their satellite internet network keeps scaling up. Pretty wild how a space company can generate that kind of organic growth without needing to knock on investors' doors every quarter.
