SpaceX is working on a deal to allow employees to sell stock at a valuation of over $800 billion.
EchoStar, a company that has invested in SpaceX, has seen its stock price more than triple since September.

EchoStar's stock has more than tripled since September due to its investment in SpaceX, and analysts predict further gains if SpaceX's valuation increases.
SpaceX is working on a deal to allow employees to sell stock at a valuation of over $800 billion.
