According to an Odaily 7x24H newsflash, Duan Yongping made a rare public comment on SpaceX on Xueqiu on June 17. His remarks focused on the relationship between SpaceX’s potential annual earnings and a corresponding valuation level.
Duan wrote that “if SpaceX can earn more than 150 billion a year, a $3 trillion valuation would actually not be outlandish.” The comment directly linked the figure of more than 150 billion in annual earnings with a valuation of $3 trillion, framing profitability as the main condition for judging whether such a valuation level is reasonable.
He also emphasized that in five or ten years, this “seems genuinely possible.” The Odaily brief did not provide additional details on revenue sources, profit composition, or any valuation model behind the comment. The item was highlighted because Duan rarely comments publicly on SpaceX.
