Seems far-fetched. No one is forcing you to buy an S&P 500 fund. And you could have sold your S&P 500 shares the day Tesla entered the index.

Do we expect everyone and their grandmas to 'diversify investments without Tesla' and 'know what date Tesla entered the index'?

The government incentivizes retirement and investment. I have plenty of that thing the government hates because it doesnt produce value, it just stores value.

These bad actors have me thinking more and more about these non-producing assets that continue to grow because they are scare and necessary.

Short answer yes. If you invest in the S&P 500 you should know what you’re investing in.
