Said "I'm not selling." Three months of filings later: he didn't.
The Quote
"I'm not selling any shares," posted as the SpaceX IPO, the largest in history, approached.
X, @elonmusk · May 16, 2026The Action
SpaceX's prospectus locked him up for 366 days, with zero shares sold in the offering. On the Tesla side, the only Form 4 in the entire Feb to Aug window is the June option exercise. No S-code (sale) transactions anywhere.

None found, and we looked.
The Read
The credibility score only means something if it can go up. This is a checkable promise that the filings confirm, through the biggest IPO in history, when selling would have been easiest to justify.
It goes in the pattern file as a green mark, full stop. When his next "I'm not selling" lands, this receipt is the base rate; if a Form 4 ever contradicts one, the archive will already know exactly how unusual that is. Words matched hands for 90 days. We say so as loudly as we would say the opposite.
