On Tuesday, July 7, 2026, Elon Musk's SpaceX is being added to the Nasdaq-100 index, which, according to available information, will also affect ETF funds available to Czech investors. The company's entry into the key technology index is set to mobilize billions of dollars, since indexed products will be required to buy SpaceX shares. seznamzpravy.cz ↗

The inclusion is sparking debate due to the company's short trading history, high valuation, and limited public access to information about its finances. According to foreign articles, the buying pressure could involve funds with assets under management in the range of hundreds of billions of euros, and the index products themselves could secure share purchases worth at least 4.5 billion euros. startitup.sk ↗

On the same day, SpaceX was also linked to several space missions. A Falcon 9 rocket launched from the Vandenberg base in California and placed into orbit, among other things, the Czech student satellite Kostka, assembled by a team from the Brno University of Technology. The mission is expected to last two years. The fifth Slovak satellite also headed into space, which, according to available information, carries a poem by Sládkovič. irozhlas.cz ↗

Further attention is focused on the operation of Starlink satellites. After a year of testing Starlink internet in the InterPanter unit, Czech Railways is considering installing it in additional trains as well. At the same time, questions are emerging related to the destruction of hundreds of satellites in the atmosphere, since, according to the articles, residual substances may pose a risk to the ozone layer. SpaceX is thus simultaneously strengthening its position in the financial markets, in transportation, and in space missions. idnes.cz ↗
