INTERNAL SPACEX DOCUMENTS SHOW THE SWEET STOCK DEALS OFFERED TO INVESTORS LIKE A16Z, GIGAFUND

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

SpaceX allows its employees to cash out some of their shares by selling to company-authorized outside investors around every 6 months. This article discusses an internal document from SpaceX about such a tender offer from 2022. Investors paid $70 per share to employees in the offer, an enormous discount compared to the $270 per share during the primary sale that year. The main reason for the price discrepancy comes from employees owning common stock - investors who buy into primary rounds typically buy preferred stock, which entitles them to dividends and liquidation preferences.
