SpaceX went public with less than 5% of shares available, with Elon Musk's 366-day lockup expiring June 12, 2027. Multiple interim lockup expirations will release billions of shares through 2027, potentially creating selling pressure. While some analysts view this as a buying opportunity, SpaceX's unprofitability and need for capital raises amid AI competition could make share price weakness particularly impactful.

Axe note: Elon Musk can't sell SpaceX shares until 2027, but massive share unlocks before then could lead to volatility.
