Is it total coincidence that Nikita is stepping down the day after SpaceXAI’s first earnings report?
That earning report revealed that X platform ad revenue is down from $426 million in Q2 2025 (~13.8% decline).
Also, today is the first time many internal shareholders are legally allowed to sell.
TLDR: yesterdays earnings report triggers the first major release of “early release eligible” shares held by employees, former employees, and early/pre-IPO investors.
Things that make you go “hmmmm.”
