In the latest tender offer documents from Elon Musk's company SpaceX, a new piece of information is emerging: this billionaire may not have truly stepped back from the political stage.

Elon Musk previously served as a senior advisor to Trump and led the Department of Government Efficiency. According to documents seen by Bloomberg and informed sources, "he may take on a similar role in the future and devote a lot of time and energy to it."

SpaceX's latest tender offer values the company at approximately $400 billion, making it the most valuable private company in the world. Musk himself and representatives of SpaceX have not commented on this.

Political Stance Changes, Uncertain Fate

Since officially leaving the Trump administration in mid-May, Musk's public statements on political affairs have been inconsistent.

In May, he stated that his focus would return to Tesla, xAI, and his business empire, and reduce political donations. However, after a public conflict with Trump, Musk turned to criticize the president and Republican lawmakers supporting tax and spending plans, and vowed in July to form a new party to try to remove those lawmakers from Congress.

Yet weeks later, Musk said his attention had returned to managing his five companies. He posted on the social platform X: "If the kids aren't around, I work seven days a week and sleep in the office."

However, the warning in SpaceX's latest tender offer documents reminds investors: in Musk's world, or in the world of the Trump administration, almost nothing is set in stone.

SpaceX is a key contractor for the U.S. government, with deep cooperation with NASA and the military. In addition to launching "Falcon" rockets and developing the "Starship" for Mars missions, the company also operates a space communication network consisting of about 8,000 "Starlink" satellites.

As part of this tender offer, SpaceX allows specific shareholders to sell their shares. According to Bloomberg, the company plans to repurchase up to $1.25 billion in employee and shareholder stock. Such partial liquidity schemes are becoming increasingly common among startups that have remained private for a long time, providing early employees and investors with a way to cash out.
