The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

For those who still don't understand the difference between, issued and outstanding, and float. WHERE is all the money going to come from to absorb all this stock that frees up next year? Throw in ANT, CHAT, etc and it's going to take one trillion plus to absorb all the potential selling over the next three years to provide liquidity to insiders. How many others will sell and gladly pay the current LT cap gains tax rates before the Dems take total control in 2028?

Buffett and other old timers selling 15- 20 billion a year into the float looks like an odd lot in comparison.

SPCX, enjoy the read.

SpaceX Restricted Shares Unlocking in 2027
In 2027, SpaceX is scheduled to unlock a total of about 6.79 billion restricted shares — the vast majority of which will be Elon Musk’s 6.4 billion shares — with the largest single release on June 12, 2027

2027 Unlock Schedule
According to the SpaceX SEC prospectus and market intelligence sources

March 18, 2027 (Day 280) – 10% of restricted shares become eligible for trading.
This is an additional tranche of roughly 328.4 million shares (about $38 billion at recent prices)

May 17, 2027 (Day 340) – Another 10% of restricted shares unlock, again about 328.4 million shares

June 12, 2027 (Day 366) – Elon Musk’s full stake unlocks:
~6.4 billion Class A shares (including 350 million Class B shares underlying options) become tradable
.
This is the single largest unlock in company history and will raise the free float from ~50% to ~97% in one day

.

Total Restricted Shares Freed in 2027
Adding these tranches:

March 2027: ~328.4 million shares

May 2027: ~328.4 million shares

June 2027: ~6.4 billion shares

Total ≈ 6.79 billion restricted shares will be free to trade in 2027

Context
The June 12, 2027 unlock is the most significant, as it releases all of Musk’s holdings and completes the staggered release process that began in August 2026

.

By September 2027, SpaceX is projected to have 100% of its shares in the free float

.

These unlocks do not create new shares; they simply remove sale restrictions on existing ones, which can affect liquidity and price dynamics

In short: In 2027, SpaceX will free roughly 6.79 billion restricted shares, with the bulk — 6.4 billion — unlocking on June 12, 2027 ""
