“It's probably also worth mentioning that our internal projections for reaching $1 trillion in revenue, not ARR, but revenue, have moved up from 2031 to 2030.”
— Elon Musk · Aug 4, 2026 · SpaceX Q2 2026 earnings call, Elon Musk remarks, Aug 4 2026 ↗
The fine print
Said on SpaceX's first earnings call as a public company (Q2 2026, Aug 4 2026). Musk pulled the internal target for $1 trillion in ANNUAL revenue (not ARR) forward a year, from 2031 to 2030, and added 'there's a non-zero chance of that being in 2029.' SpaceX reported $7.81B revenue for Q2 2026 (up 92% YoY), so hitting $1T/yr by 2030 implies roughly a 10x jump in ~4 years.
