Short sellers have sharply increased their bets against SpaceX, with about 185 million shares sold short, representing nearly 29% of the company's public float and around $25 billion in bearish wagers. This surge follows the stock's decline of about 20% in July, dipping briefly below its $135 IPO price. The increase in short interest comes ahead of upcoming lockup expirations that will release more shares into the market, potentially impacting the stock further. Investors are also watching SpaceX's 13th Starship test flight, which could influence market sentiment.
