Insider: SpaceX seeks to advance the inclusion of stock into indexes while preparing for a large-scale IPO.

Elon Musk's rocket-satellite company SpaceX is preparing to give its stock a boost as soon as it lands on the stock market. According to sources, advisors of this company, recently merged with xAI, have been in contact with major index providers including Nasdaq to discuss how SpaceX and other hot startups this year can be included in key indices faster than usual. Companies typically have to wait for several months or a year after going public to be included in major indices such as the S&P 500 or Nasdaq 100. Being included in an index can open up access to funds from retail and institutional investors, especially those tracking index performance and therefore must hold index component stocks. The traditional waiting period is designed to give companies time to prove that they are stable enough and have enough liquidity to handle large buy orders from index funds. As part of its IPO plans, SpaceX hopes to bypass traditional rules in order to provide liquidity to its shareholders as soon as possible. These sources say that SpaceX's advisors have sought changes in index policies to allow the company to be quickly included in major indices and benefit other high-valued non-public companies. SpaceX's latest valuation is $800 billion, with a target valuation of over $1 trillion, and if successful in going public, it will be the largest IPO in American history.
