SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk is famous for his sky-high ambitions, including reaching Mars one day. After SpaceX’s earnings report Tuesday, Musk laid out four more brazen goals for the rocket and artificial-intelligence company, including reaching $1 trillion in revenue in less than five years. SpaceX stock tumbled 8% to $115.29 on Wednesday, while the S&P 500 edged up 0.1%.

Wall Street has reached a broad consensus about SpaceX’s shares: investors should buy them. Among 25 analysts with a stock recommendation for the space-and-artificial intelligence company, 21 suggest purchasing the stock or have an “overweight” rating on it, according to a tally from FactSet.
