A new wave of exchange-traded funds designed to exclude Elon Musk's business interests has launched, offering investors a structured way to avoid exposure to Tesla and SpaceX.

The products arrive as market sentiment toward the tech billionaire's expanding empire shows signs of fragmentation, with institutional and retail alike seeking tools to manage concentrated risk.

The launch of these exclusionary funds coincides with heightened scrutiny of Wall Street’s valuation models for SpaceX.

A seasoned investment strategist has raised alarms regarding the integrity of these models, suggesting that the lofty price targets issued by major banks may be compromised by hidden conflicts of interest.

This skepticism adds a layer of complexity to the investment thesis for companies closely tied to Musk’s ventures.

Artificial intelligence’s rapid advancement presents a dual challenge for the market.
