Musk Says That's Too Low. Wall Street expects Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ) to grow its revenue at a pace that would leave even Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ) in the dust — and Elon Musk says analysts still aren’t thinking big enough . Ticker Take founder Jon Erlichman shared a chart comparing analysts’ five-year revenue growth estimates for some of the world’s largest companies. SpaceX topped the list with projected revenue growth of 2,090%. It stood far ahead of Nvidia’s 288%, Alphabet Inc ‘s (NASDAQ: GOOGL ) (NASDAQ: GOOG ) 140%, Microsoft Corp ‘s (NASDAQ: MSFT ) 136%, Amazon.com Inc ‘s (NASDAQ: AMZN ) 81% and Apple Inc ‘s (NASDAQ: AAPL ) 54%. That means Wall Street already expects SpaceX’s revenue to grow at more than seven times Nvidia’s pace over the next five years. It’s a remarkable comparison considering Nvidia has become the defining winner of the artificial intelligence boom; while SpaceX is still widely viewed as a rocket company despite its rapidly expanding businesses. Are Analysts Still Too Conservative on SpaceX? Responding to the chart on X, Musk wrote, “I think both SpaceX and Tesla will exceed these estimates.” While the comment covered both companies, SpaceX’s projection stands out. Analysts are already modeling an extraordinary 2,090% revenue increase over the next five years—compared with 119% for Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA ) and 288% for Nvidia. In other words, Musk isn’t just saying SpaceX will outperform expectations; he’s arguing that even one of Wall Street’s most optimistic growth forecasts still doesn’t go far enough.
