A bombshell report tonight claims that SpaceX's initial public offering raised a staggering $10bn more than the company has declared. Whistleblowers inside the rocket firm have leaked documents suggesting that the true total raised was $40bn, not the $30bn publicly stated. UK pension funds and retail investors who poured billions into the IPO now demand answers.
The leaked documents show untraceable payments to shell companies registered in the Cayman Islands and Delaware. Unions representing aerospace workers warn that this could mean job losses and wage cuts as the true picture of SpaceX's financial health remains hidden. The Financial Conduct Authority is under pressure to investigate.
A spokesperson for the UK investors' group said: 'We are furious. Our members' life savings are at stake. This is a betrayal of trust.
' SpaceX has refused to comment. The revelation threatens to shake confidence in the entire space industry and raises serious questions about financial regulation in the booming tech sector.
