The answer remains, these rules do not specifically apply to only SpaceX, they apply to a range of companies that fit specific profiles. Timing happens to favor SpaceX, but will equally favor OpenAI, Anthropic and others within the same qualifiers.

The links above provide specifics as to the what's and the why.

The rules were changed with these 3 specific companies in mind. Stop weaseling about it.

And prior to that Elon did float the idea of IPOing on a non-NYC exchange, some Texas exchange. So a bit of a stick and some honey in the IPO fees and early access.

Because the people who can decide the rule change were bribed.

What is a Bribe? These indexes are all for profit companies with no obligation to you.

Steal from everyone and shove their faces in the dirt and the social contract breaks down further

What exactly do people think they are entitled to here? Free money guranteed with no risk? "gimmi gimmi gimmi" is not a social contract.

Yeah ultimately who wouldnt want that? (Strawman btw) The other extreme is, what exactly do the power hungry cretins want? Godlike worship form all other humans.

Reality will be whatever happens (capital and corportism wins through the monopoly of violence and the oligarchic capture)

There are many people with many unmet needs. Everyone has played a part and continues to do so every day with their choices.
