SpaceX Insiders Plan to Sell Shares After Earnings

SpaceX insiders are preparing to sell their shares. This follows the company's first earnings report as a public company.

SpaceX spent $15.8 billion on AI this quarter. That is nearly double the prior quarter.

Shares fell about 6.5% after-hours despite beating revenue expectations. Most revenue came from Starlink not rocket launches or AI.

SpaceX executives said they are focusing on rocket development, Starlink satellites, and AI. The company is spending heavily to build its AI abilities.

Investor worry centers on insider stock sales tied to lockup rules ending after the earnings report. SpaceX stock had risen 9% before falling on the earnings news.

SpaceX completed a public offering in June. That $85.7 billion deal happened on June 12.

Investors have also speculated about a possible SpaceX-Tesla merger. SpaceX announced a new Nvidia satellite partnership the same day as its earnings report.

Klear Note — SpaceX went public in June 2026, meaning regular people can now buy its stock. Lockup periods prevent company insiders from selling shares for a set time after going public. When lockup ends, insiders often sell, which can worry investors about the company's future.
