SOURCE EVIDENCE

"When a stock joins an index like the Nasdaq 100, funds tracking that index are effectively forced to buy its shares so that they still reflect the index. This creates additional demand for a stock and could push up its share price."

Money Week unknown Source article

"SpaceX will go into the Nasdaq-100 on Tuesday, unleashing a wave of passive buying of the stock from mutual funds and exchange-traded funds that track the index."

CNBC mainstream_finance Source article

"SpaceX is expected to enter the index with a weighting below 1%, which sounds small. However, less than 10% of SpaceX's total shares are available to trade right now, which could result in a short-term spike in the price of SPCX stock."
