"Rule changes allow SpaceX insiders to cash out at the expense of retail investors."

"Fast entry rule changes by the Nasdaq and U.S. Russell Equity Indexes will lead to tens of billions of dollars in forced buying by index funds shortly after SpaceX debuts."

"In a presumed effort to court SpaceX to list its shares... Nasdaq slashed its inclusion window to the Nasdaq-100... from around three months to just 15 trading days. Low-float rules were also shelved... SpaceX will be eligible to join the Nasdaq-100 on July 7."

At different points in history it's been more or less like a casino depending on how well regulated it was. It's hard to say this Space X rule makes it more like a casino because there's no element of chance. It's just a big fat thumb on the scale.
