Claim 3: “roughly seven million shares of SpaceX changed hands [at 9:30 on Thursday on the NASDAQ]”
DISPUTED
The claim states SpaceX shares traded on the NASDAQ. SpaceX is a private company and is not listed on the NASDAQ or any public stock exchange. While there are secondary markets for private shares, they do not trade on the NASDAQ exchange at 9:30 AM like public stocks. The provided evidence includes a YouTube video discussing 'lockup' and 'stock value' in a speculative context, but Wikipedia and general market knowledge confirm SpaceX is not a public company.
