So when your investing in index funds (except S&P 500), you can't avoid SpaceX stock and the AI financial bubble it seems. It looks like they want to make the SpaceX stock too big and important to fail. We will see if it is enough when the inevitable financial bubble of AI will pop.

Why the SpaceX IPO Will Affect Your 401(k), Like It or Not

Elon Musk’s rocket company, on the cusp of the largest initial public offering ever, will soon end up in index funds after rule changes by Nasdaq and other index providers.

S&P 500 rejects SpaceX, also blocking entry for OpenAI and Anthropic

SpaceX won’t get easy access to billions of dollars from passive investors.

But do people understand this well enough to dump the index funds from their pensions before it’s too late?
I think it’s only #NASDAQ which should be expunged. #S&P500 for the time being will not be listing #SpaceX.

@ErikJonker what they’re doing with respect to bending the rules for a nasdaq listing is despicable, however, your point about being exposed to the AI bubble as you put it, inherently goes against the idea of index funds; namely, you can’t pick winners and losers. Otherwise what you’re suggesting there is just active management with different words.
