Venture capital firm Vy Capital holds a 3.4% stake in SpaceX and is the largest outside investor across Elon Musk's portfolio companies, according to regulatory filings.

Vy Capital's investment footprint spans multiple Musk ventures. Beyond its SpaceX stake, the firm is the primary outside investor in The Boring Company and Neuralink. The firm also committed $700 million to Musk's 2022 acquisition of Twitter. The filings reveal Vy Capital as one of SpaceX's largest shareholders, elevating the low-profile venture firm's role in funding Musk's companies. The firm's concentrated presence across Musk's ventures—from space exploration to tunneling infrastructure to brain-computer interfaces—demonstrates significant confidence in the entrepreneur's portfolio. Vy Capital's involvement underscores broader trends in venture funding, where investors increasingly back individual entrepreneurs across multiple companies rather than single ventures.
