Elon Musk's SpaceX is negotiating to pay razor-thin fees to Wall Street firms handling its IPO but banks are still likely to rake in about $500 million from the record-setting market debut. Musk's space and artificial-intelligence conglomerate is negotiating to pay less than 0.75% for the $75 billion it aims to drum up in an initial public offering this month, according to people with knowledge of the matter. Even at that low spread, it will likely amount to one of the biggest fee events ever for Wall Street firms that arrange public listings. The lead banks  Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Morgan Stanley  are positioned to take in a bigger share of the fee pool than the other 21 brokers involved. For more, we speak with Sri Natarajan, Chief Wall Street Correspondent for Bloomberg News.
