SpaceX stalls on S&P inclusion; retirement funds still at Musk's mercy
TL;DR
SpaceX won’t be fast-tracked into the S&P 500, delaying its inclusion for at least a year, so many 401(k)s and index funds will still indirectly own SpaceX; the company is also reserving up to 30% of its IPO for retail investors, a move aimed at tapping Elon Musk’s fanbase and boosting demand while retirement portfolios remain exposed to the megacap.
