Trader consensus on Polymarket positions Morgan Stanley as the frontrunner at 51% implied probability to serve as lead bank for SpaceX's blockbuster "Project Apex" IPO, bolstered by its deep ties to Elon Musk through veteran banker Michael Grimes—who rejoined the firm and led the final bake-off at Starbase—and historical precedent like Tesla's IPO. Recent catalysts include SpaceX's April 1 confidential S-1 filing targeting a $1.75 trillion valuation and $75 billion raise, lining up 21 banks with Morgan Stanley, Bank of America (15.8%), Goldman Sachs (10.5%), JPMorgan, and Citigroup as active bookrunners, plus an April 6 virtual kickoff meeting led by Musk and CFO Bret Johnsen outlining a late-May prospectus and June 8 roadshow. Ongoing jockeying between Morgan Stanley and Goldman underscores uncertainty absent a traditional "lead left" designation, with alphabetical listing possible.

This market will resolve according to the bank that serves as the lead underwriter in the initial public offering of SpaceX.
If no IPO occurs by December 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, or SpaceX completes an initial public offering without a designated lead underwriter, this market will resolve to “Other.”
If multiple banks are identified as lead underwriters, this market will resolve according to the primary lead underwriter. If the hierarchy between them is unclear, this market will resolve once it is conclusively evident which bank is the primary lead underwriter, for example, through the order in which the banks are listed in the underwriting section of SpaceX’s final initial public offering prospectus, once released.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official disclosures from SpaceX.
