Expectations are high for the IPO of SpaceX. The company - which includes rockets, satellites, and AI units - could become one of the most valuable in the world following its market launch on Friday. Founder Elon Musk is set to retail near total control of SpaceX, with 85% of the voting rights. Igor Pejic, Tech Investing Strategist and author of the book "Tech Money," says Musk's personal influence is likely to draw in more investors - but the company is overvalued at $1.75 trillion.

Wall Street is counting down to what could be the biggest market debut in history, with SpaceX preparing to go public.
