Shares of SpaceX climbed in their first day of trading on Friday following a $75 billion IPO that smashed records and instantly turned the crown jewel of Elon Musk’s empire into one of the most valuable public companies in the world. 

The stock climbed as high as $176.52, or 31% above its offering price, less than two hours after the shares started trading shortly before noon in New York. The jump in price turned Musk into the world’s first trillionaire and sent the company’s market capitalization above $2 trillion.

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.
On today's podcast:
1) The US and Iran are edging closer to signing an agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, according to senior officials. A deal is likely to take the form of a memorandum of understanding, and Geneva is being considered as a potential location for the signing. An Iranian foreign ministry spokesman said "we have not yet reached a conclusion on this matter", despite reports of progress toward ending the war.
2) SpaceX made history with a $75 billion IPO and now needs the market's validation of its ambition to dominate AI and carry humans to the moon and Mars. The company's IPO was more than four times oversubscribed, and indications are that SpaceX shares could open with a pop of at least 35% on its first day of trading. The trading will determine whether Elon Musk becomes the world's first trillionaire and will also affect the prospects for initial public offerings from SpaceX's AI rivals Anthropic PBC and OpenAI.
3) The New York Knicks are on the cusp of winning the NBA finals, and SpaceX is poised to go public in the biggest IPO in history. The NBA finals have had a significant economic impact, with high ticket prices and increased merchandise sales, and ratings are higher than they've been in decades. The SpaceX IPO could have a significant market impact, with investors having mixed views on the company's valuation and potential for growth in the AI sector.

SpaceX IPO Debuts; US-Iran Deal Nears

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.
On today's podcast:
1) The New York Knicks came from 29 points down to beat the San Antonio Spurs 107-106 in Game 4 of the NBA Finals, taking a 3-1 lead in the series. The Knicks' win was capped off by OG Anunoby's tip-in with 1.2 seconds remaining, which followed a long 3-point shot by Jalen Brunson that bounced off the front of the rim. The Spurs had led 81-52 in the third quarter, but the Knicks outscored them 58-30 in the second half to complete the record-breaking comeback.
2) President Trump said he will continue bombing Iran if it refuses to agree to an interim peace deal, following a second night of clashes between the countries’ forces. Iran retaliated by firing on US bases in Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan, and said the Strait of Hormuz would be closed to all types of vessels. Trump ordered multiple strikes, including around 50 Tomahawk missiles, which Central Command described as “self-defense strikes,” in a signal that Trump wants to avoid restarting a full-on war.
3) US inflation accelerated in May to the fastest pace in more than three years as the Iran war pushed up energy prices, outstripping Americans’ pay gains. Still, President Trump sought to downplay the CPI data, calling the figures “great” and suggesting fuel costs would be even higher if not for US efforts to get oil shipments out of the Strait of Hormuz. “You know what I really love? I love the inflation,” Trump said Wednesday. That’s because once the war is over “it’s going to come down like a rock.”
