This is an absolute disaster from a national security perspective. Obviously, a lot on F-35s is classified, but a weapons-bay door and a canopy with radar-absorbing material are some of the most sensitive. Hard to describe how bad this is.

SpaceX has $3.73 billion in recent gas turbine purchases that aren't even included in the financials, they're buried in footnotes. /5 (I'll come back to this later, there's... quite a lot going on here. Whew.)

Purchase CommitmentsIn March 2026, the Company executed a purchase agreement with an unaffiliated third party to acquire additional turbines for the AI infrastructure totaling $805 million through 2029.

Asset AcquisitionOn April 30, 2026, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with an unaffiliated third party to purchase certain mobile gas turbines and related packages for approximately $2,000 million (the “Turbine Acquisition”). The closing of the Turbine Acquisition is expected to occur in May 2026 and is subject to customary closing conditions. The seller has also agreed to enter into a post-closing services agreement to support the Company's turbine operations. The Turbine Acquisition will help provide power to the Company's data centers.

Note 16 - Commitments and ContingenciesUnconditional ObligationsDuring the three months ended March 31, 2026, there have been no material changes to the Company’s unconditional obligation since December 31, 2025 other than the execution of certain purchase agreements with an unaffiliated third party to acquire additional turbines for the AI infrastructure totaling $925 million through 2029.

Oh this is delightful. Let's start with SpaceX's violation of 17 CFR § 229.504 (Item 504). Their "use of proceeds" neglects to mention they are contractually obligated to use the first $20 billion from it to pay off a bridge loan. This is also while their quarterly cash burn exceeds $8 billion. /1

USE OF PROCEEDSWe expect to receive approximately $ of net proceeds from this offering (or $ if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares of Class A common stock in full), based upon the assumed initial public offering price of $ per share (which is the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus) after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to fund our growth strategy, including the expansion of our AI compute infrastructure, enhancements to our launch infrastructure and launch vehicles, increases in the scale and capacity of our satellite constellations, and any remaining amounts for general corporate purposes.

SpaceX Bridge LoanIn March 2026, SpaceX entered into a new bridge loan credit agreement (the “SpaceX Bridge Loan”) with a syndicate of lenders, providing for an unsecured bridge term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $20,000 million. The SpaceX Bridge Loan matures on September 2, 2027, with two three-month extensions at the Company’s option, subject to the absence of a continuing default and the payment of an extension fee of 0.25% of the aggregate outstanding principal per extension, resulting in a final extended maturity date of March 2028. The proceeds of the SpaceX Bridge Loan were used to repay the X B-1 Term Loan, the X B-3 Term Loan, the xAI Fixed Rate Loan, the xAI Floating Rate Loan and the xAI 12.5% Senior Secured Notes (as defined and described in Note 10, Debt, to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus). The Company may also use the remaining proceeds for general corporate purposes.The SpaceX Bridge Loan bears interest, at the Company’s election, at a rate per annum equal to (i) Term SOFR plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.75%-1.75% (depending on the Company’s debt rating), or (ii) a base rate equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, (b) the Prime Rate, (c) Term SOFR plus 1.0% and (d) 1.00%, plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.75% (depending on the Company’s debt rating). In addition, the Company is obligated to pay duration fees equal to 0.125% of outstanding principal on the first anniversary of closing and 0.25% of outstanding principal on the fifteen-month anniversary of closing. As of March 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the SpaceX Bridge Loan.

The obligations of the Company under the SpaceX Bridge Loan are guaranteed on a joint and several basis by X Corp., X.AI LLC, and CTC Property LLC (each a subsidiary of the Company). The SpaceX Bridge Loan may be prepaid at any time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. The Company is required to use an amount
