The standard window is 180 days (about six months). What makes SpaceX unusual is that its lockup, as described in the company’s S-1 filing, releases shares in stages rather than all at once, so portions of employee stock are expected to become sellable at several points during that six-month period rather than only at the very end.
…
After the first quarterly earnings release as a public company (the quarter ending June 30, with the report expected sometime between mid-July and September), up to 20% of eligible locked-up shares become sellable.
A performance-based early release of up to an additional 10% can unlock if the Class A shares trade at least 30% above the IPO price on at least five of ten consecutive trading days before that first earnings release.
Five time-based tranches of up to 7% each release at 70, 90, 105, 120, and 135 days after the IPO (about 35% in total across those dates).
After the second quarterly earnings release (the quarter ending September 30, expected between mid-October and December), up to an additional 28% becomes eligible.
Musk has been compensating his employees with stocks instead of salaries for 20 years. Some of those older employees were “paid in” at $3-4 after splits while employee’s as recent as 2024 would be holding shares @ ~ $30.
I’m going to assume the current downward pressure is people anticipating this late-july deadline allowing SPCX employees to sell off the first 20% of their stocks.
Pump, then dump

Same is true for TSLA but sunk cost fallacy is very powerful with cult investors.
This was me in my twenties.
So you’re claiming not to be full of shit anymore…?
