This is such a scam. SpaceX used its massive IPO and listing fees (and the prestige of being the largest IPO ever) as leverage. Index providers and exchanges saw financial incentives: listing fees, trading volume, data sales, and long-term revenue from asset managers. Reuters reported that SpaceX advisers contacted major index providers (including Nasdaq) to discuss early index entry, and that SpaceX was leaning toward listing on Nasdaq only if it got early inclusion in the Nasdaq 100. The rules built to protect passive investors were waived: - S&P 500’s 12-month seasoning and 4-quarter GAAP profitability requirement → waived - Nasdaq’s seasoning window (90 trading days) → cut to 15 - FTSE Russell’s seasoning window → cut to 5 days Meanwhile, Danish pension fund excludes SpaceX citing governance and valuation (Musk holds approximately 42.5% of the equity, but commands roughly 83-85% of total voting control): https://www.reuters.com/legal/transactional/danish-pension-fund-excludes-spacex-citing-governance-valuation-2026-05-29/ https://www.reuters.com/legal/transactional/danish-pension-f...
