Hopefully the share price will "settle" before SPAX is included in index funds.

When the original private investors (the Venture Capitalists and insiders) start selling their shares in late June, July and August the SPAX price is going to be a rollercoaster ride.
$1.7tn valuation seems to be far too high to me.
I suspect it will be much cheaper later on.

Luckily I think it's only heading to NASDAQ, for now.

I read this as saying that the FTSE Global Equity Index Series, which means both the FTSE Developed World and FTSE ALl-World indices, will include it, with the weighting of the under 5% that is actually being floated now, just 5 working days after the IPO.

For the FTSE Developed World Index, that will be about 0.08% of it. When NASDAQ includes it, it will be at 3 times the amount that is being floated.

Ah yes, I just saw FTSE are including it. S&P aren't, and MSCI probably are, but not for a while.

If I owned SMT I'd have serious governance questions given the 20% Space X allocation and general high tech slant. I know that SMT is about growth and innovation, but this seems very risky and one dimensional. I hope people that buy SMT realize that they are in a fund that is far more risky than a general global equity index fund.

I think Scottish Mortgage investors (and I am one, with a modest amount of my portfolio) do mostly know it's riskier; that's been its style for a long time. I think it's that big because of the growth of investment some years ago this was in January, before the latest revaluation (which was still below the IPO valuation):
The UK’s largest investment trust, Scottish Mortgage SMT, has already made a significant paper profit on a 2018 bet on SpaceX, turning a USD 200 million stake into USD 3.3 billion. This stake represents 15% of the trust’s portfolio and makes SpaceX the top holding.

Yes, they might have been able to find someone to sell to, but they reckon there is still growth potential from that valuation. I do have my doubts about the IPO valuation, and so I might trim my holding (part is unprotected from CGT, so I'll probably keep that).

Yes, this would include Global All Cap too.

I think it's a matter of degree. 20% in a single company and a high exposure to AI would make me very nervous.
