An investment adviser to union pension funds has called on U.S. regulators to investigate SpaceX's financial practices before a potential public offering that could value the company above $2 trillion.

SOC Investment Group filed the request with the SEC, citing concerns about SpaceX's financial relationships with other ventures controlled by Elon Musk. The group represents pension funds with substantial stakes in corporate governance matters. The advocacy organization wants regulators to examine how SpaceX manages transactions and financial ties with Musk's other companies, including Tesla and xAI, before the aerospace manufacturer goes public. SpaceX has not announced formal IPO plans, but the company's valuation has grown significantly through private funding rounds. SOC Investment Group's move reflects broader scrutiny of corporate structures involving multiple Musk-controlled entities and their financial entanglements. The SEC has not yet responded to the request. Any regulatory review could influence the timeline and terms of SpaceX's potential Wall Street debut.
