SpaceX shares seesawed on Thursday as investors weighed the impact of insider selling on the stock, which has had a turbulent run since its market debut. When a company goes public, its executives, employees and early investors are typically barred from selling their shares for up to 180 days under lock-up agreements designed to curb volatility and support the stock. SpaceX, however, had an unusual arrangement under which up to 20% of the restricted shares could be sold starting Thursday, the second trading day after its second-quarter earnings release.
