From Thursday, August 6, approximately 911.5 million shares, previously owned by employees and early investors, will become available for sale, increasing the overall stock supply. The newly available shares create a different market from SpaceX's unusually small initial public offering. SpaceX stock has already fallen about 43% from its peak and 15% below its IPO price of $135.
