A look into the finances of SpaceX

Accredited Investors can invest via Special Purpose Vehicles when SpaceX is raising a round, or buy secondary shares if they know of anyone selling (sometimes these types of secondary offerings are listed on AngelList). A few years ago I saw someone on Twitter organizing an SPV to participate in their funding round at the time and the minimum commitment was $250K.

Mortality Assessments are left as an exercise for the reader.

Is there a way for a mortal to buy or invest into SpaceX or are we just waiting for an IPO eventually?

SpaceX is the second biggest holding in The Private Shares Fund [0].

This is an Interval Fund - effectively a mutual fund except that you can only sell it one day per quarter due to limited liquidity.

Go work for them on a position that has equity as part of the compensation.

Otherwise, I doubt it. Elon has been pretty vocal about regretting making Tesla public. Additionally SpaceX as a company is oriented around putting humans on mars. Until that happens, I expect a supermajority of ownership would be against the profit seeking motives that an IPO creates.

Short of investing in them, you could look for companies in industries that are likely to benefit from cheaper space access. Might have an easier time there.
