"% of total stake" is the shares in an event against all the vested shares the person held that day, across every share class and holding entity, after that day's vesting. "n/a" means the person's holdings are not confirmed, or the row is a purchase. "Holdings record incomplete" means more shares were sold than the filings show the person held that day, so a percentage would be wrong.

Common questions

Is the Space Exploration Technologies Corp CEO selling stock?

Yes. Elon Musk sold 11K shares ($1.2M) in the past 12 months, none of it under a trading plan disclosed in the filings.

Why are Space Exploration Technologies Corp insiders selling?

Filings rarely give a reason, and we don't guess at one. What they show is how the sales were made: 98% of sales by value ran under 10b5-1 trading plans disclosed in the filings and 2% had no disclosed plan. A trading plan schedules sales in advance.

Are any Space Exploration Technologies Corp insiders buying?

No. Officers and directors reported no purchases in the past 12 months.

What explains the selling$53.7M of sales by plan status, purpose, seller and month

Officer and director open-market sales: $53.7M across 353,560 shares. Plan status and stated purpose are separate questions, and a sale can have both.

By plan status

The lighter segment is sales with no plan disclosed in the filing ($1.2M), including tax-related sales outside a plan.

No plan disclosed · $1.2M

Sales with no 10b5-1 plan and no tax reference in the filing. $1.2M of it is Elon Musk. No plan disclosed is a statement about the filing, not about why the sale happened. Largest such sale: Elon Musk, Apr 2, 2026

Sources and methodology14 filings on record, 14 filed in the 12-month period, and how we read them

All 14 Forms 3, 4 and 5 on record for Space Exploration Technologies Corp (SEC CIK 1181412), filed from Jun 11, 2026 to Sep 30, 2026; 14 of them were filed in the 12 months this page covers, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 16, 2026. Prices are the ones reported in each filing, often weighted averages.

Holdings. Each holding line (a share class plus an owner, such as a trust or LLC) carries its last reported balance forward. Entities first reported during the period start at zero, so transfers between an insider's own trusts don't count as selling. Lines not reported for three years or more are listed separately and left out of totals.

Sales. A sale counts as under a 10b5-1 plan if its footnote cites one or the filing's Rule 10b5-1 box is checked, and as tax-related if its footnote cites tax obligations or sell-to-cover. Shares withheld by the company for taxes are listed separately. Sales with neither attribute are labeled "no plan disclosed".
