納斯達克有一項新規定。現在大公司可以更快加入名單，僅需交易 15 天即可。SpaceX 於 6 月 12 日開始交易，因此現在可以加入。

Many funds will buy SpaceX shares. J.P. Morgan says funds might spend $4.3 billion. This is because these funds must follow the Nasdaq list.

許多基金將購買 SpaceX 的股份。摩根大通表示，基金可能會投入 43 億美元。這是因為這些基金必須追蹤納斯達克指數名單。

有些人並不認同。Morningstar 表示 SpaceX 過於昂貴。該公司去年虧損了 49 億美元。此外，標準普爾 500 指數目前還不會將 SpaceX 納入，他們要求公司必須先獲利。
