Companies with dual-class structures have two or more types of shares with different voting rights - usually one with greater voting rights for founders or early investors and another for other shareholders with less voting power.
SpaceX is also in the process of adding members to its board of directors, the Bloomberg report said, to oversee the IPO process and expand Musk's space goals outside its main rocket and satellite business.
Deliberations are ongoing and details of the IPO could change, the report added.
