kha1n3vol3on Ask HN: Prediction for SpaceX IPO?

SPCX: the company has designed a rolling schedule that drips shares out in stages. Two days after its first earnings report, insiders can sell up to 20% of their holdings. Another 10% unlocks early if the stock holds 30% above its IPO price for five of ten consecutive trading days. After that, 7% tranches free up at regular intervals through the first 135 days. A further 28% follows after Q3 earnings, with the remainder releasing at the standard 180-day point.

[...] Elon Musk sits outside this entirely. He and select major backers have committed to a full 366-day lockup. Given that Musk controls the majority of voting power, his agreement to stay locked up for a full year is a meaningful positive signal. https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/spacex-sto...

I will not be trying to participate in the IPO. I do think waiting until the first 20% unlocks and potentially sold into the market would be reasonable thing to consider. Long term I think this is majorly bullish based only on the xAI infrastructure plays.

From an engineering standpoint, no one else has the technical capability right now to land a rocket and refurbish it and send it back to space with the speed that SpaceX has demonstrated.

kha1n3vol3on US transportation bill would add a $130 annual fee for EV drivers

They should simply place the fee on tires. Then it is a consumable tied to usage rather than trying to match the fee to estimate of mileage.

kha1n3vol3on Show HN: OSS Agent I built topped the TerminalBench on Gemini-3-flash-preview

I am using dirac with Kimi 2.6 for refactoring a rust codebase. I have a Clean Architecture design which is being reinforced. The scope of work is laid out in a Beads epic with sub-issues. The planning was done with gpt5.5, and gpt5.5 is checking the work is complete. I have found that dirac is more productive on large codebase refactoring than OpenCode which actually trashed the .rs file and had to revert the code.
