Extended read
The inclusion of SpaceX into major indices is creating a significant liquidity event. Because SpaceX entered with a massive valuation, index-tracking funds must sell existing holdings - primarily Apple, Microsoft, and Nvidia - to make room. This 'forced selling' comes at a time when SpaceX itself is struggling, trading below its offering price and facing bearish analyst reports regarding its long-term cash flow.
