SpaceX, led by Elon Musk, has raised a new round of financing. At present, the company is promoting projects worth billions of dollars and facing rising costs. According to an investor, SpaceX raised at least $1.5 billion (about 10 billion yuan) in the latest round of financing and valued SpaceX at about $125 billion.
According to the data of pitch Research Institute, the valuation of pitch was $100 billion last year. In addition, SpaceX also proposed to buy shares from existing shareholders to give current and former employees the opportunity to cash out.
SpaceX's round of financing comes at a time when musk is accused of sexual harassment. Earlier, the insider website revealed that a stewardess accused musk of exposing her private parts on his private plane and stroking her legs without consent. SpaceX paid the stewardess a $250000 (about 1.7 million yuan) sealing fee to settle her allegations of improper sexual behavior against musk. Musk has denied the charge, saying it was "completely untrue".
