Betting Against Elon Musk's SpaceX Has Cleared More Than $7 Billion, Says Research Firm

According to a report by the New York Times on Tuesday, market research firm S3 Partners’ Ihor Dusaniwsky, who is the firm’s Head of Predictive Analytics, said that short-sellers cleared approximately $7.3 billion since SpaceX’s IPO in June.

“We’ve seen continued SPCX short selling since its inception,” Dusaniwsky said in the report.

SpaceX is set to report its second-quarter 2026 earnings on August 4, in what will be its first-ever public earnings call. Following its earnings, SpaceX will also allow some insiders to begin selling stock as the lock-up period stipulated in the IPO ends.
