SPCX: the company has designed a rolling schedule that drips shares out in stages. Two days after its first earnings report, insiders can sell up to 20% of their holdings. Another 10% unlocks early if the stock holds 30% above its IPO price for five of ten consecutive trading days. After that, 7% tranches free up at regular intervals through the first 135 days. A further 28% follows after Q3 earnings, with the remainder releasing at the standard 180-day point.

[...] Elon Musk sits outside this entirely. He and select major backers have committed to a full 366-day lockup. Given that Musk controls the majority of voting power, his agreement to stay locked up for a full year is a meaningful positive signal. https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/spacex-sto...

I will not be trying to participate in the IPO. I do think waiting until the first 20% unlocks and potentially sold into the market would be reasonable thing to consider. Long term I think this is majorly bullish based only on the xAI infrastructure plays.

From an engineering standpoint, no one else has the technical capability right now to land a rocket and refurbish it and send it back to space with the speed that SpaceX has demonstrated.
