S&P 500 delays SpaceX, Anthropic inclusion; other indexes adapt

SpaceX and Anthropic will not be immediately included in the S&P 500 index due to standard eligibility rules, delaying their entry by at least a year. Despite this, other indexes like Russell and Nasdaq are changing their criteria to include these companies. SpaceX is also making a significant portion of its upcoming IPO available to retail investors, suggesting Elon Musk is aiming to attract his fan base regardless of financial performance. AI
