Here's another perspective: from a fundamental standpoint, $SPCX is very difficult to rally in the short term, so previous bets on the stock price increase mainly relied on short squeeze and capital arrangements. Looking at the stock price performance, the possibility of continuing the short squeeze during tonight's only window after the market opens is also very low; otherwise, the stock price should be maintained above 130 now. Therefore, the capital arrangement regarding the Tesla–SpaceX merger is the only path. Judging from the recent series of denials about withdrawing from China and other information, the merger is not currently a priority. Confirming the merger when SPCX is stuck at 110 is equivalent to using currency at a 60% discount to buy Tesla—the share swap ratio would be locked at the most humiliating position for SPCX shareholders and the greatest dilution for himself. It's not that he doesn't want to merge; he just can't merge at this exchange rate. So SPCX must be pushed higher first before the merger can be initiated. And all this will likely have to wait until after the Q3 earnings report when the stock price pulls back to 150–170. Are bulls very pessimistic now? Actually, not really. Although the stock price performance yesterday and today hasn't been enough to make unlocked shares reluctant to sell, if the price is low enough, diehards won't sell. The 150–170 range, which is neither too high nor too low, is exactly when the willingness to sell is strongest; prices that are too high or too low will suppress selling pressure. Moreover, judging by Musk's recent actions, he probably still has some tricks up his sleeve, such as signed cloud service or defense orders generating verifiable revenue, Musk or the company increasing holdings with real money, or buybacks. So operationally, holding long-term is fine, and short-term selling on highs to do swing trades is also okay. It ultimately depends on individual position size and leverage level. $SPCX
