Billionaire Elon Musk Airlines SpaceX is looking to raise new $ 1.7 billion funding as its controversial founder continues to report the news between his ex-girlfriend Amber Heard and Johnny Depp in a last-week defamation case.
CNBC, citing an email from a company that the entire network claims to have received, reported that the space travel pioneer will be paying $ 70 a share - 25 percent more than the $ 56 share of stock sold in February after the stock split.
That would cost a 20-year-old company - the first independent company to send astronauts to orbit, among other things - for $ 127 billion.
That calculation has risen slightly in recent years as SpaceX has raised billions to fund work with the next generation Starship rocket and the global Starlink satellite online network.
Meanwhile, the independent online website Insider reported this week that SpaceX paid $ 250,000 to resolve a complaint about alleged misconduct by Musk and a SpaceX flight attendant.
The 50-year-old Musk dismissed the case, saying on Thursday on Twitter "the record, those gross allegations are not true at all."
Elon Musk was reportedly in a relationship with Amber Heard when he harassed a SpaceX employee.

And while opinions may vary, from the crowded media market to the flood of unwanted content, there is a great deal of disappointment at seeing the company invest so much in the launch to see it fail quickly.
Businesses fail for many different reasons. Some suffer from taking the opportunity to try something new that does not catch on.
For some, it is a matter of time. MySpace would not be great today, but in its time it dominated the top because it attracted people in the time it came out.
Indeed, CNN + is far from the end of a business project that crashes and burns so fast.
What Other Businesses Fail More?
New Coke
Launched in April 1985, New Coke was a response to the changing soda industry of the time. Consumers became increasingly conscious of their health and bought extra dietary soda and soft drinks, which was bad news about the sale of a leading Coke product.
As Pepsi found some love to have a sweet taste, New Coke was a remake trying to imitate that. And at first people seem to be right about it. Sales increased by 8%, and it looked like Coca-Cola Company (KO).
However, the people were not particularly happy about the change in the South. In Constance L. Hays' book “The Real Thing: Truth and Power at the Coca-Cola Company,” she reports that more than 40,000 people contacted Coca-Cola by telephone or in writing to express their anger and frustration over the change.
Just 79 days after the launch, Coke announced an old formula that would return as "Coke Classic." New Coke was renamed Coke II in 1990 and is still sold in other markets, but in 2002, it was quietly dumped on its grave.
Quibi
Quibi was a streaming service with one different perspective: Serve TV broadcasts and movies that people can watch on their phones while on the go. Originally launched in August 2018 as NewTV by Hollywood CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg and former HP CEO Meg Whitman, Quibi managed to raise $ 1.75 billion from investors, making it look like it could be the next big thing.
Launched in April 2020 as Quibi, the app proved to be a success at first, hitting 3 in the App Store and receiving 300,000 downloads on launch day. But it dropped to the top 50 a week after his release, and in early June, top officials were asked to reduce their salaries.
Quibi closed just six months later, and although many thought of reasons, there was one that stood out above all others: All of its shows were bad. One Verge writer aptly referred to them as "garbage cans."
Amazon Fire Phone
Amazon (AMZN) - Owns everything and makes billions of dollars, so it felt like launching its phone could only be a success. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos unveiled a call to the audience during a 2014 news event, calling it an "Amazon Prime members' call" that will be packed with all the features they already love.
But unlike the easy-going Amazon Prime shipping that was very popular, the phone was full of difficulties. Couldn't use Google apps that people have relied on for other devices. Importing the iTunes library was painful. Battery life was not good. Worst of all, the only way to get a phone for less than $ 650 was to sign a contract with AT&T, which many did not want to do.
In September 2014, AT&T reduced phone costs to 99 cents on a two-year contract. The Fire Brigade had officially failed.
Burger King Satisfries
If you have never heard of these, do not worry — they came and went so quickly that most people missed them completely. They happened in the first place because Burger King of Restaurant Brands International (RBI) decided to try a healthy version of French fries in 2013.
Called Satisfries, they promise to contain 40% less fat and 30% fewer calories. Surprisingly, they were higher in calories than the standard order of the films, and more expensive, too ($ 1.89 compared to $ 1.59 for the standard type).
Some customers call them "saddest fries" which should give you a good idea of how well they go.
Surprisingly, the films have been canceled in 2014, and people continue to order old movies that they know and love. French films are not the same as trying to be healthy.
Windows 8
Microsoft Vision (MSFT) People were working on both PCs and tablets, so they wanted to introduce a operating system that could handle both.
The OS was launched in 2012, and has left customers feeling confused. The Start button has been removed and the Start menu has been replaced by the start screen, leaving long-lost Windows users to navigate.
Windows 8 acquisition numbers were free, and in response, Microsoft announced in 2014 that its next birth of the OS would bring back old features that people were familiar with. It was a brave effort in many ways, but it was a huge change over time.
