In 2022, he said that Tesla could be worth more than Apple and Saudi Aramco combined. That pair was worth about $4.4 trillion at the time.

Musk is fond of talking about the Kardashev Scale, a framework for evaluating civilizations proposed in the 1960s by Soviet astronomer Nikolai Kardashev.<\/p>\n<p data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}\">The scale is about energy use. A level I civilization harnesses the energy on its planet. A level II civilization harnesses the power of its sun. And a Level III civilization harnesses the power of its galaxy. Musk\u2019s ambition is to harness the power of the sun, which, of course, is much larger than the Earth.<\/p>\n<p data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}\">As for the non-planetary valuations, Raymond James has the highest price target for SpaceX at $800 per share. Citi\u2019s bull case for the stock is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barrons.com\/articles\/spacex-stock-price-analyst-target-7a020bc8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;destination&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:1,&quot;c.t&quot;:7}\">$900 per share<\/a>, valuing SpaceX at about $12 trillion.<\/p>\n<p data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}\">Those estimates, obviously, assume everything goes well for SpaceX, including the development of Starship, SpaceX\u2019s huge, fully reusable rocket that will drive down costs to reach orbit. Morgan Stanley has a $300 price target for SpaceX and a $600 bull case. Its bear case is $75 and assumes Starship isn\u2019t operational until 2029.<\/p>\n<div class=\"intra-article-module\" data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;intraArticle&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13}\">\n<div
