Can the stockmarket swallow Anthropic, SpaceX and OpenAI?
https://www.economist.com/finance-and-economics/2026/06/01/can-the-stockmarket-swallow-anthropic-spacex-and-openai ( paywall free link https://archive.ph/WNrzP )SpaceX/Anthropic/OpenAI are bringing massive IPOs that could add $4 trillion to the U.S. market. But, economist warn of a big risk if these companies receive fast track index inclusion forcing tracker funds to buy the shares immediately & with crazy valuations and retail/pension/insurance/governments fund holding massive indigestion & crash in their holdings.
TL;DR: Original index rules were built to protect retail & small investors' retirement funds from being scammed out of their life savings. But AI company bosses has used their deep connections with U.S. government to change these rules, giving them an unfair advantage & an immediate exit for VCs out of AI or LLM companies at a premium price. AI is not profitable at all. This is a big scam & 100% is going to crash everything so hard while AI company bosses become the first trillionaires

@nixCraft have today sent an email to my pension provider about these rule changes and asking how I ensure my pension is not exposed to any nasdaq 100 index linked funds

For SpaceX (and possible the others like OpenAI and Anthropic), stock market rules were changed recently. Since they changed the rules to force over $30 trillion in passive 401k and retirement fund money to buy SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropicat IPO valuations giving exit to big VCs and others. At the end of the day people who put or government backed pension fund put small money every month are going to pay for this mess. Such is evilness of these AI companies.

@nixCraft To me, this indicates a near term run on toilet paper, beans, rice, seeds, water and pitchforks. It might behoove us all to pay attention.

So a company that lost nearly 5 billion dollars last year, and lost nearly as much in the *first quarter* of this year is basically being bailed out by every middle class and working class individuals retirement accounts - and for most of us there's effectively nothing we can (legally) do about it.
Break out the guillotines.

@nixCraft gonna write my bank. My rules for investment was no big tech from the beginning, but want to make sure they're keeping to that rule.

@nixCraft I would like a good explanation of how two large companies that are both burning cash could possibly, legitimately, bring 4 trillion to the market.

Investing via retirement funds, or via an #ETF into plain vanilla indices has always meant a substantial part of your money is benefiting dubious corporations.
Even when you see tags like "socially responsible", "Paris climate blah" attached to an index, you'd be amazed how many of those are still included. One needs to look closer.

@nixCraft I am, once again, baffled at how this isn't a major story. The changes to the nasdaq rules were discussed on some podcasts when the first rumblings around the IPO first appeared.
It's an absolute scandal. It's madness to expect these insane valuations to hold. This entire thing is about cashing out a bunch of rich people and leaving pensions and misguided Elon fans holding the bag. -
@nixCraft
This is nuts.
Like many, my (UK) pension is in a 'default' tracker that will automatically get pulled in to SpaceX trading as a result of this change. That's not a risk I am willing to take.
So I now need to engage a financial advisor to switch away from this nonsense ASAP...@clanger9 @nixCraft (I am NOT authorised to give financial advice. This is what *I* did.)
Some time ago when the current US president was voted in I moved almost all my/family investments away from the US (except some 'active' funds). Some of that money went into a cheap L&G UK tracker, which avoids this particular issue. Moving funds from a US tracker to a UK tracker with a big name and low fees may not require a full IFA flex...
(I am going to re-check that I don't have exposure to this.)

Marvel at the efficiencies of the private market. So glad neolibs killed pensions in the 70s and replaced them with 401ks, it's worked out so well!

@brunogirin @clanger9 @nixCraft I have a personal pension (separate to my main one) that lets me choose between sub-funds, so I can exclude all US investments in there if I wish. Does your pension have any sort of similar scheme?

@DamonHD @nixCraft @brunogirin
Exactly. I'm normally a passive investor, but I can see that my pension is (by default) invested in a tracker fund that looks like it will automatically underwrite the SpaceX IPO - despite them never having turned a profit!
The only way to fix this is to transfer into another fund - which is not something I can (or should) do without professional advice... -

@brunogirin @nixCraft @DamonHD
I can choose any fund in my pension, but if I select anything other than the default, then "I'm on my own", apparently.
Given the opacity of many (most?) funds, I have no way of knowing what I'm investing in. Normally, I would trust the tracker to do its job, but changing the rules to benefit a single (high risk!) IPO totally breaks that trust.
Hence the need for professional help... -

There's this little Danish pension fund that may inspire them not to give you a funny look.

@nixCraft Reducing the seasoning window means letting these obvious fraudsters cash out their private stock while the IPO issue forces the price up.
Then it will tank, because this company is UTTERLY WORTHLESS
