Population boundary
SpaceX's public filings identify several equity plans and award types. They do not establish any individual's grant terms. Grant year, governing plan, award agreement, vesting status, acquisition history, trading policy, and employee communications must be checked separately.

SpaceX decision guides
Each guide names the population it covers, answers one question, shows a reviewed date, and links to its primary sources.
