I was under the impression SpaceX was going to be a trillion dollar company.

The media and market is hyping these three companies up to be all trillion dollar companies.

Afaik SpaceX is only putting 5% of its shares up on the public market when it IPOs (newly minted shares, diluting the existing private shareholders).

So the markets only "need to absorb" $75B when SpaceX IPOs, not its whole $1.7T valuation. At least until the lockup period expires.
