On June 12, 2026, SpaceX blasted into public markets with the largest IPO in history — $75 billion raised at a $1.77 trillion valuation. But the real story for B2B marketers isn't the rocket company. It's what happened in the milliseconds after: millions of people asked ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude about SpaceX, and those engines instantly decided which sources to trust and which brands to name.
