I thought you could intelligently allocate 401k. I don’t think mine was etfs of nasdaq or s&p for some time now. Ever since Tesla got in

Most (all?) 401k plans limit you to a pre-picked list of ETFs and mutual funds you can invest in. Not to mention the standard advice for decades has been 'broad market index fund'.
Afaik this is the first time that an IPO is big that it immediately gets a significant share of a broad market index fund. The rules among the providers are actually quite diverse, so it's complicated. The Rational Reminder podcast discussed it in April: https://rationalreminder.ca/podcast/406
Their conclusion: It might be bad, but so be it. No need to change strategy.
if you want to personally manage your risk you can by taking a small short position or buying long dated puts.
It being in the public markets is something you can deal with if you want.
It being in private markets means you cannot choose to participate in the upside if you want.
Definitely not all. Look into 401(k) self-directed brokerage accounts.
If your plan uses Fidelity you can move your 401k into Brokeragelink and that lets you pick individual stocks. Schwab, TIAA, Alight and some others also have something similar.
