Elon Musk said "several thousand" SpaceX employees are likely millionaires now, thanks to the company's rising private-market valuation. Musk made the comment during a radio interview Wednesday. He also repeated his goal of building cities on the moon and Mars.
The SpaceX CEO did not specify how many employees hold equity or the exact valuation threshold that would make them millionaires. SpaceX has raised money at valuations above $200 billion in recent funding rounds. Employee stock options have appreciated as the company's launch business and Starlink satellite internet operation have grown.
