Elon Musk Says the Short Sellers Betting Against SpaceX Have a "Very Low" Survival Probability. Their Bets Now Equal 32% of the Float.

SpaceX faces a massive short position of 206 million shares (32% of tradable float) worth $25 billion. CEO Elon Musk claims short sellers have "very low" survival probability, but the stock has fallen 45% from its post-IPO peak to $123.46. While a potential short squeeze could occur before the company's first earnings report on Aug. 4, expanding lock-up expirations will increase share supply, potentially easing short pressure. The stock trades at 80+ times sales despite impressive 33% revenue growth, leaving valuation concerns unresolved.
