| Putting cynicism aside (there's plenty of that here already): there is a theory that people invest in index funds because they don't want to pick individual stocks. They want exposure to "the public stock market as a whole". I think there are good arguments on both sides of including SpaceX in such an index. |

Pretty much everybody know what it was about on day one, brokers were (and still are) operating in blatant bad faith for personal gain and they know they can count on the current US administration to get off scot free. It's like if Jordan Belfort was in charge of Nasdaq. |

| The president may throw a tantrum that “some crazy democrat throws stones under the feet of that beautiful Elon, the most beautiful Elon we ever had”. Better do what the new Tzar wants. Dude was sent here apparently by the God, don’t mess with the God. |
