Claim 2: “roughly seven million shares of SpaceX changed hands [at 9:30 on Thursday on the NASDAQ]”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
The provided evidence discusses SpaceX stock lockups and general NASDAQ hours, but none of the sources mention seven million shares changing hands at 9:30 AM on a Thursday. SpaceX is a private company, making NASDAQ trading of its shares highly unusual unless referring to a specific secondary market event not detailed here.
