Opinion: The Greatest Fleecing of Retail Investors in Wall Street's Storied History Begins Tomorrow, Aug. 6

SpaceX's insider lockup period expires on Aug. 6, 2026, allowing early investors and executives to begin selling shares in a staggered schedule. The article warns this could trigger a massive sell-off that disadvantages retail investors, as SpaceX remains unprofitable despite its $3 trillion valuation. The company's unusually low IPO float (less than 5% of shares) combined with aggressive insider unlock milestones could flood the market with newly tradable shares, potentially marking a significant wealth transfer from retail investors to corporate insiders.
