[upbeat music] Here's your afternoon TNB Tech Minute for Friday, June 12th. I'm Julie Chang for The Wall Street Journal. [upbeat music] It's official, SpaceX launched its initial public offering on the Nasdaq today. By this afternoon, shares were up about 30% over their opening price of $135 as the largest ever IPO. When the stock opened trading, the initial climb gave it a market cap above $2.2 trillion, making it the sixth most valuable US-listed company and minting CEO Elon Musk as the first ever trillionaire. High trading volume even caused outages over at Robinhood for some users. Meanwhile, banks are also raking it in. According to a filing and people familiar with the matter, the total fee pool for SpaceX's IPO is around $500 million. Lead banks Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley will take home the lion's share
