    On June 4, SpaceX launched an IPO promotion for retail investors through a video early Thursday morning. In this 17-minute video, Chief Financial Officer Bret Johnsen connected the company's rocket, satellite, and artificial intelligence businesses. This presentation is part of the company's efforts, led by Elon Musk, to attract ordinary investors globally. Media reports have indicated that these buyers are a key component of SpaceX's IPO strategy, with up to 30% of the $75 billion issuance allocated to such investors. Johnsen was the only person featured in the video, where he introduced himself as the company's first and only CFO. The video is available on the company's website, spacexipo.com, which prominently encourages visitors to open brokerage accounts. Johnsen stated, 'Elon founded SpaceX with the goal of changing humanity and making us a multi-planetary species. It is incredibly exciting that we have already been able to expand this vision through the Starlink constellation and our AI solutions.' The roadshow outlined several future goals but did not specify timelines for achieving them, including increasing gross margins from last year's 49% to around 70% and achieving a net profit margin of approximately 45%, compared to last year's negative 26%.
