OpenAI Eyes 2027 IPO Delay as SpaceX Eyes Mobile Push
OpenAI may push its public debut to 2027 while SpaceX explores expanding into mobile services, two major private-market moves to watch.

OpenAI is reportedly weighing a delay of its highly anticipated IPO until 2027. That's a significant pullback from earlier speculation that a public offering could come sooner.
