🚨 SPACEX IS NOT DONE - THE IPO UNWIND IS 🚨
The first months after the IPO followed a very specific sequence
1. THE INITIAL POP
IPO launch: $135
Peak close: $201.80
The first move was pure demand expansion
2. DISTRIBUTION
Within five weeks, $SPCX had flushed almost 50% and traded below its IPO price
That strength faded quickly
3. THE SUPPLY SHOCK
Then came the Aug. 6 (Unlocks):
-911.5M shares
- ~$98.7B of potential supply
- 143% of the existing float
That sounds like the perfect setup for another collapse
Instead, $SPCX closed the day +6.1%
4. THE SHORT SQUEEZE
Short interest then collapsed:
34% -> 11%
The stock ripped back toward $141
But this is where people can misread the chart
Short covering creates buying pressure
It doesn't automatically mean new long-term demand has arrived.
5. THE REAL TEST COMES NEXT
There are still eight unlock tranches scheduled through December 8
By then, as much as ~40% of the company could become tradable.+
So I don't expect the market to immediately go vertical from here
The more important question is whether each new wave of supply can still push price lower
Because we've already seen something interesting
July 7: Nasdaq-100 inclusion brought massive passive demand - and $SPCX still sold off
August 6: 911M shares became available - and $SPCX still closed green
Good news couldn't save the price
Bad news couldn't break it
That is the kind of reaction I want to see near a potential bottom
And there's a historical parallel worth watching
For example:
Facebook went public at $38 in 2012, then dropped roughly 54% as lock-up fears hit
The November unlock brought another huge supply event
Facebook closed that day +13%
It eventually became the beginning of a much larger accumulation process
$SPCX just printed a remarkably similar reaction
But there’s one important difference:
A squeeze is not a bottom
At roughly 88x sales, this still needs time to digest the IPO excess
My read:
Remaining unlocks -> supply absorption -> $100-$120 base -> accumulation -> next expansion
The market may still look ugly while the actual bottom is being built
That’s usually how accumulation works

I'll warn you
A man working as a welder at SpaceX for $28 an hour has just become a millionaire.
Juan Hernandez, who came from Mexico, welded rockets for SpaceX at $28 an hour.
SpaceX gave him $10,000 in stock when he went full time in 2015, and he bought more with every paycheck for 10 years.
$SPCX is now trading at $167, making his shares worth over $1 million.
SpaceX starts trading this Friday.
Here's what history says happens next.
This is the post-IPO performance of every major tech listing of the last decade. Every name you know. Every name you use.
Look at the last column: maximum drawdown in year one.
– Facebook: -54%
– Snap: -56%
– Uber: -68%
– Pinterest: -70%
– Lyft: -79%
– Rivian: -88%
– Robinhood: -90%
Median first-year drawdown across the entire list: -54%.
Average: -55%.
Not the speculative junk. The whole class. Including the eventual winners.
Zoom eventually rose 142% in year one. It still drew down 40% along the way. Palantir gained 153%. It still fell 53% at one point. CrowdStrike, Datadog, MongoDB. All ended year one higher. All put their holders through a 40 to 67% drawdown first.
There has not been a single major tech IPO in a decade that didn't hand you a brutal drawdown in the first twelve months. Not one.
Now SpaceX joins the list, at the richest valuation in IPO history.
You don't have to buy it today.
The IPO is the seller's moment, not the buyer's.
Wait for the base.
SpaceX IPO access is starting to take shape, but not every brokerage is handling it the same way...
Here's everything you need to know:
• Fidelity: $2,000 minimum, lowered specifically for SpaceX, with an Indication of Interest process.
• Charles Schwab: $100,000 liquid net worth requirement, with a Conditional Offer to Buy.
• Robinhood: No minimum, with access through IPO Access and a Conditional Offer to Buy.
• SoFi: No minimum, with Indication of Interest through its IPO Center.
• E*TRADE: Funded account required, with a Conditional Offer to Buy and allocations based on total requests.
The biggest takeaway: getting access does not guarantee an allocation.
And depending on the brokerage, the process, eligibility, and share allocation rules may look very different.
SpaceX was founded to make life multiplanetary. We’ve been able to expand that mission with our Starlink constellation and AI solution

When a so-called retired Admiral goes on Fox News with such an obvious mask, it is done to expose how operations are conducted.
This is a wake-up event, not a mistake.
