They are buying their time (6 months) before being included in the S&P500s, causing another inevitable surge in forced "demand".

In the next 6 months another 45%-50% of Space X stock is unlocked, increasing the amount of shares on the market ~10 fold.

Although many will be long term believers who won’t sell. I can’t see how this couldn’t deflate the share price further
