New ETFs Excluding Elon Musk
A firm called Title registered with the SEC to launch two ETFs: S&P 500 XEL Elon ETF and NASDAQ 100X Elon ETF, with tickers SPN and QQN, which track the same indexes as VOO and QQQ but exclude companies founded, controlled, or led by Elon Musk.
[00:32]
Company Background and Fees
Title is the same company that offers an ETF tracking Nancy Pelosi's stock trades, which has an expense ratio of 72%. The creator implies that the no-Elon ETFs will likely have similarly high fees, making them a costly premium for investors.
[00:48]
Creator's Opinion and Alternative
The creator thinks these ETFs are 'a little silly' and suggests that investors should simply buy VOO and QQQ instead, which provide the same index exposure without the high fees and without excluding Musk companies.
The video presents the new no-Elon Musk ETFs as a niche product with potentially high fees, and recommends that investors stick with traditional index funds like VOO and QQQ for better value.

[00:02] anything to do with Elon Musk. These are called no Elon Musk ETFs. And this week, a firm called Title, they registered with the SEC, the S&P 500 XEL Elon ETF, and the NASDAQ 100X Elon ETF. Their ticker symbols are going to be SPN and
[00:17] QQN. And I assume that these stand for S&P no Elon and QQ no Elon. They track the same indexes as VU and QQQ with one primary difference. And that would exclude any company founded, controlled or led by Elon Musk. So that means for
[00:32] included in these tickers, but then you get everything else in the index besides that. This is the same company that has an ETF that follows Nancy Pelosy's stock trades. And that ticker N has an expense ratio of 72%. In other words, you're
