The article notes precedents like Alibaba, Datadog, and Beyond Meat in shaping lock-up strategies, though SpaceX did not comment.

Insiders at Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) have sold $5.1 million worth of stock over the past year, raising concerns among investors. While insider selling is not always a negative sign, multiple insiders selling over a specific period could indicate caution.
