They all know it’s coming, if it pops before they ipo then they don’t get their billion dollar payday, they have every incentive to move quickly.

FYI they have about a 365 day lockup after IPO before the execs can sell.

They get to sell 20% on day two. Get f’ed everyone!

Did you read your own link? Quote: "Musk himself is not allowed to participate in any of the early-release provisions."

S-1 isn’t public yet. Source on the lockup period? SpaceX for example filed with accelerated release of insider/investor shares so I don’t think we can know if this is the case until the filing documents become public.

sure but it would be really weird if there wasn't one

Look at SpaceXs filing. There is one but it is super short. I was just pointing out that 365day lockup is likely incorrect and OP doesn’t really know that until the filing is approved and becomes public.

i mean spacex filing reads more like an investor prospectus than an s-1 so, its a few standard deviations off the norm

Common knowledge: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lock-up_period

Going to give the benefit of the doubt here. I know what lockup period means.

365day lockup isn’t a universal standard. For example for SpaceX 20% of insider shares can be sold in the first few days. 100% within the first 3 months.

Without a public S-1 filing we don’t know what the lockup for Anthropic will be

I'm sure they can get private loads or similiar way to "hedge" those? also dark markets and other tricks exist. Fin. eng. level goes way higher for them, just contact inv. banker or their lower class friends. They will find a way.

It cant be that simple, I am sure that they will find some way to make money before that
