Several articles state there are at least two sources concerning the report of SpaceX receiving possible funding from Saudi and UAE investors. There's also at least some connection between the Saudi's and SpaceX. Two Saudi astronauts are scheduled to fly aboard a Crew Dragon capsule on the Axiom-2 mission scheduled for May to the ISS.....Note, Musk has denied the funding story.I don't have access behind this paywall, maybe someone here does and can get us more info.

So, what is true? His statement is accurate if just one or the other are planning, or if both have already invested in SpaceX, or several other scenarios. One problem with Elon blowing his credibility with endless falsehoods and misleading statements on Twitter is that nobody believes him any more, or at least they don't believe him unless he's completely unambiguous.

When Musk needs money, his only option is to sell Tesla stock".....That's baloney, it's not his only option.Pretty good article about SpaceX spinning out Starlink, and in particular how that would benefit TSLA shareholders since selling TSLA shares has been Elon's multi-billion $ bank account for the Twitter purchase.

I'm sure they are doing initial steps for IPO-ing just to run the numbers. I'm sure the public would like a piece of the action but does SpaceX really need the money? I would think that lots of money is flowing in just fine. But maybe there is some other reason they would want to break Starlink away from SpaceX.Elon Musk says it would ‘not be legal for me to speculate about a Starlink IPO’

“It would not be legal for me to speculate about a Starlink IPO,” Musk said Saturday when asked about it by Bloomberg’s Ashlee Vance in a Twitter Spaces talk. Then he broke out laughing.
