Here's a story that's not getting nearly enough attention.
Defunding Planned Parenthood has already caused chaos and harm, and access to essential reproductive care is plummeting.
Right now, the Trump administration's backers in Congress want to permanently defund Planned Parenthood,
forcing even more health centers to close, and millions at risk of losing access to care.
It takes less than a minute to help.
And make a gift of any size.
The stock's performance will be a barometer for how enthusiastic people are about Elon Musk and all the things
he's promised the company will do, like putting data centers into space and even sending people to Mars.
It will also test Wall Street's enthusiasm for artificial intelligence since Musk rolled his AI company into SpaceX too.
So far, the hype has been high with investors going all in.
But a lot of other people are also about to own a piece of SpaceX, whether they wanted to or not.
That's because many Americans' retirement plans, their 401Ks,
include index funds that are going to automatically invest in SpaceX.
In the past, you normally wouldn't get a newly public company in your index.
There'd be a big lag time for a number of reasons,
but one of them is that stocks are very volatile
in the early days and weeks and even months of trading as the market is established for them.
Essentially, they're just much riskier.
