What was said

"This year, NASDAQ and the Russell changed that rule. They built a fast lane so mega-cap companies like SpaceX can get added in weeks instead of a year. One Wall Street veteran, George Noble, called the change a shameless manipulation of the index."

Major stock indexes have eliminated the traditional one-year waiting period before adding newly public companies, creating a fast lane specifically for mega-cap firms like SpaceX. Critics warn this forces index funds to automatically buy untested stocks at inflated prices, potentially setting up retail investors as exit liquidity for insiders while the S&P 500 has refused to make similar changes.
