[SpaceX Executive Downplays Risk of Employees Leaving After IPO] SpaceX's IPO is expected to make many employees a small fortune, with some potentially reaping huge sums. Employees have been consistently buying SpaceX stock, even when its value was far below the IPO price of $135 per share. However, SpaceX President Gwen Shotwell downplayed the notion that many employees would cash out and leave once they saw the increased wealth from the IPO in their brokerage accounts. In a CNBC interview released Friday, she stated, "SpaceX already has many very wealthy employees, but they are still working. Those who don't want to work shouldn't be at this company anyway."
