SpaceX prices its IPO Friday at $135 per share. OpenAI just filed confidentially to go public, and its numbers are weaker than Anthropic's by almost every measure. Anthropic leads enterprise AI with 40% market share versus OpenAI's 27%. And the Nasdaq 100 bent its rules to let these companies in fast, whether index fund holders want them or not.
