SpaceX targets $1T annual revenue by 2030 as Tesla Roadster integrates SpaceX tech
SpaceX has revised its financial goals, now aiming to reach $1 trillion in annual revenue by 2030. This target is one year earlier than the previous 2031 projection. During a Q2 2026 earnings call, Elon Musk identified Starlink expansion, AI-related infrastructure demand, and core launch operations as the primary drivers for this growth. While SpaceX reported $12.5 billion in revenue for the first half of 2026, analysts remain skeptical of the trillion-dollar goal, with 2030 revenue forecasts ranging between $330 billion and $486 billion.
Separately, the long-delayed second-generation Tesla Roadster is reportedly being developed with integration from SpaceX. Former Tesla president Jon McNeill suggests the project aims to inject excitement into Tesla while strategically knitting the futures of Tesla and SpaceX closer together. The vehicle may utilize a SpaceX-developed cold-gas thruster system, code-named A71, to enable hovering capabilities. The Roadster has faced numerous delays since its initial unveiling in 2017.
