"SpaceX stock is expected to be listed on the Nasdaq. To secure such a high-profile listing, While listing requirements remain unchanged, Nasdaq recently amended its index-inclusion rules to accommodate companies like SpaceX when they go public."

Notice a listing on the board and an inclusion in an index are two different things. Nastaq changed the index to secure the listing of SpaceX on their board.

Nobody contested this. You said inclusion was “a prerequisite for trading the stock on the board.” That is incorrect.

If Nastaq hadn't agreed SpaceX would have listed on the NYSE instead.

Sure. That’s listing. Not trading. Big difference.

New Milennium regulations don’t let listing boards or issuers say where their stock can and can’t be traded.
