SpaceX Will Be Worth $1.75 Trillion Next Week but the S&P 500 Won’t Be Adding It

SpaceX Will Be Worth $1.75 Trillion Next Week but the S&P 500 Won’t Be Adding It

Elon Musk rewrote the IPO playbook in almost every direction for SpaceX. The SP 500 just reminded him there are rules he cannot rewrite. SP Dow Jones Indices confirmed Thursday it is keeping its eligibility rules entirely unchanged, effectively shutting out SpaceX from the worlds most important stock index. To join the SP 500, a company must be profitable in its most recent quarter and across its prior four quarters combined. SpaceX posted a net loss of $4.94 billion in 2025. The SP was equally clear on exceptions, stating waivers should not be granted solely based on market capitalization. What This Means for Passive Investors and SpaceX Passive SP 500 index funds control trillions in assets and would have been forced to buy SpaceX shares automatically had the rules been relaxed. Without index inclusion, that automatic institutional bid simply does not exist, at least for the next twelve months. Nasdaq moved in the opposite direction, fast-tracking its own rules to allow SpaceX into the Nasdaq 100 shortly after listing. Index funds tracking the Nasdaq 100 will be forced to buy a sizeable portion of publicly available shares when inclusion is confirmed. This will provide a floor of institutional demand that the SP 500 will not contribute to. Holy shit! They changed the rules for Elon againThey waved the profitability rule are adding SpaceX to indices only 5 days after IPO normally it's 90This forces 401k retirement passive funds to buy SpaceX at elevated IPO pricing, holding the bags the entire way down Financelot (@FinanceLancelot) May 28, 2026 SpaceX does have a path into less prominent benchmarks. SP confirmed that it will modify the entry rules for its broader Total Market Index and the Dow Jones US Total Stock Market Index. Moreover, FTSE Russell has already made SpaceX eligible for its global equity indexes under fast-entry rules. The Crypto Impact For crypto markets, the SP exclusion adds an interesting wrinkle. SpaceXs S-1 disclosed 18,712 Bitcoin at a cost basis of $661 million. This means that every buyer of SpaceX stock gets passive Bitcoin exposure whether they want it or not. With the Nasdaq 100 forced buy coming and the SP 500 bid absent, the pool of investors gaining that indirect Bitcoin exposure is smaller than it would have been under a fast-track scenario. With SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic together expected to pull in morethan $240 billionby year-end, analysts warn these megacap listings may drain liquidity from tech, AI, and crypto markets and potentially mark a cyclical peak. Art Hogan, chief market strategist at B. Riley Wealth, backed the SP decision. Making exceptions because companies are so large and have been private so long yet are still not profitable didnt make a great deal of sense, he said. The biggest IPO in history will begin trading next Friday, June 12. However, the index that defines Wall Street will not list it for at least a year.

Is a new wave of sell-offs approaching? The ultimate rival of the AI bull market emerges—The "global anchor of asset pricing" breaks through the 5% super threshold

After the 10-year US Treasury yield breaks back above the critical 5% mark, it is more likely to usher in a period of high-level tug-of-war and accelerated asset differentiation. Especially before energy shocks and the significantly eased large-scale expansion of the US fiscal deficit, the conditions to quickly replicate the sharp yield decline seen at the end of 2023 are not yet fully in place.

Anthropic releases another article: What will the economy look like in the AI era?

Anthropic's economics team has released an AI economic scenario model, centered around three scenarios: moderate and gradual growth, transformative changes with GDP doubling, and an extreme situation with 15% annual growth but massive job losses among knowledge workers. The model treats work as "bundles of tasks" and analyzes AI’s enhancement and substitution effects on different types of tasks. Anthropic emphasizes that the economic outlook for 2030 is not predetermined; the key lies in how the dividends from AI are widely shared.

"New Federal Reserve News Agency": Waller's Rate Hike "Has No Way Back", Trump's "Trust" Faces Test

Nick Timiraos believes that after the higher-than-expected August CPI, the probability of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates this week has surged, while Waller’s hawkish stance on inflation has left himself almost "no leeway." With seven weeks before the election, whether or not Waller raises rates will directly test how long Trump's “trust” in him can last. Previously, Waller maintained a balance between the White House and the Federal Reserve by “talking less and avoiding provocation,” but after this meeting, silence will no longer serve as his shield.
