The reason you know the people complaining the most about this aren’t serious is that they don’t lead with crsp and vti.

They did change their rules, they did it fairly specifically for spacex and it did drive inclusion in a major index fund (perhaps the biggest one).

Now me personally, as a holder of vti I am good with the change and my included exposure to spacex. Further I think mostly complaining about the inclusion/exclusion of a single name in an index _defeats the point_.

But for those decrying the shenanigans crsp and vti are the example to go with.

To the extent there is potential bullshit, it is here.
