## Understanding SpaceX in context

SpaceX is included because its public company record connects a named business to an identifiable founding team. The business description, “American spaceflight and AI company,” supplies the context for that relationship, with a recorded starting year of 2002. The founding association shown here is with Elon Musk. A single association in this library should not be read as a complete list of everyone who helped establish the business.

The [company website listed in the source](https://spacex.com/) is the next place to research its current offering. Compare the company’s own description, its leadership information, and dated announcements with this reference record before drawing conclusions about today’s business. A founding year describes a historical event; it does not measure business scale, growth, or the length of a founder’s continuing involvement.

This reference library documents public founding associations, including historical businesses and founders. A company may have changed ownership, name, or operating status since the recorded founding event. It is separate from our revenue-qualified growth profiles. Founding does not establish current ownership, employment, company revenue, or an AE client relationship.
