Why this matters
SpaceX's record-shattering debut doesn't just mint the world's first trillionaire—it directly impacts the retirement savings of millions of Americans. Because major index funds are fast-tracking the stock's inclusion, everyday passive investors will automatically buy into the highly volatile, unprofitable company, tying their financial futures to the speculative space economy.
