SpaceX made the biggest stock market debut in history on Friday after nearly two and a half decades as a private company.

Public trading began around midday with a starting share price of $150, which quickly jumped by a double digit percentage and sent the company’s valuation above $2tn, where it remained through market close.

The company’s initial public offering made the company’s CEO, Elon Musk, the world’s first trillionaire.
