Chamath Palihapitiya, a former Facebook Inc. executive and prominent investor known for his “blank-check” companies, is predicting that SpaceX’s internet-from-space initiative Starlink will go public in 2023, years earlier than planned.
Palihapitiya said on his podcast All-In that a Starlink IPO could give chief executive Elon Musk more financial flexibility and would be “an obvious outcome in 2023.”
