SpaceX on Monday announced a senior unsecured notes offering and disclosed about $100.8 billion in cash.
The space and artificial intelligence company plans to use the proceeds to pay off bridge financing and other general purpose needs, but didn't disclose how much it plans to raise.
Sources familiar with the matter told CNBC that SpaceX is looking to raise $20 billion, with the sale expected to kick off as early as Tuesday.
Shares fell 16% for a third consecutive losing session.
