SpaceX is pushing banks for one of the lowest IPO fee rates ever.
The company is negotiating to pay less than 0.75% on its planned $75B IPO, though banks could still collect roughly $500M in fees.
Goldman and Morgan Stanley are reportedly set to take the largest share of the fee pool, with 21 other brokers involved.

GM 2010: $15.8B raise, 0.75% fee
Facebook 2012: $16B raise, 1.1%
Alibaba 2014: $25B raise, 1.2%
Uber 2019: $8B raise, 1.3%
Visa 2008: $17.9B raise, 2.8%
