Musk is furious! Tesla has been considered a pioneer in new energy and environmental protection, and has always believed that it is leading the future direction of human civilization, but Tesla was directly removed from the environmental, social and governance index, Musk is really angry faint, said ESG is a scam.

The S&P 500 ESG Index, which measures the performance of securities that meet sustainability criteria based on broad market capitalization weights while maintaining a similar overall industry group weighting to the S&P 500, is used by many fund managers to help determine investment direction, and Tesla being kicked out of this index will certainly have a significant impact on attracting investment.

S&P Dow Jones Indices said Tesla's scores on environmental, social and governance criteria, while fairly stable over the past year, have slipped in the rankings compared to its improving global peers, particularly Tesla's work environment and racial discrimination, its handling of autopilot-related injury and death investigations, and its lack of a low-carbon strategy and business code of conduct have all had a negative impact on Tesla.

Musk was simply furious, tweeting angrily that ExxonMobil was ranked by S&P 500 in the global ESG top ten, but Tesla failed to make the list! ESG is a scam. It has been weaponized by phony social justice warriors. and S&P Global ratings has lost their integrity.

It seems that the world's richest man is really having a bad year lately, with the four "demons" all working against him.

Someone in space is against him
The most important investment that may affect the future of human civilization - the Mars starship, ready for the first orbital launch last year, but has been trapped by the environmental impact assessment, and has been pushed back again and again, and now there is almost no news.

Someone in the social field is against him
The acquisition of Twitter was about to succeed, but it was found that there were many fake and spam accounts on it, and it was feared that the purchase would be greatly reduced.

Biden's administration is also against him
Biden and the Democrats are working hard to collect taxes from billionaires, so Musk said the Democrats are no longer a kindness party and have become a divisive and hateful party, and he is going to vote for the Republicans.

Someone in the securities field is working against him
Now it is the S&P 500 ESG index directly kicked out Tesla, Musk also faced multiple crackdowns and multiple lawsuits from the SEC, and his lawsuit against the SEC was dismissed by the court, it is really too bad, only allowed to be beaten, not allowed to fight back, there is more miserable than Musk?

It seems like the world is really unfair to Musk.

ExxonMobil such a large carbon dioxide emissions, are able to defeat to save energy to reduce carbon emissions-based Tesla, which can not be said to be a kind of irony, as for the irony is Musk or the ambition of all mankind to control carbon emissions, that is the benevolent see the wisdom of the wise.

Starship's capacity is far greater than NASA's own son - the space launch system (SLS) being developed by Boeing, the environmental impact may also be much smaller than the SLS, because the SLS is disposable, while the starship can be fully reusable, and even launch costs may be as low as less than one percent of the SLS, but in the environmental assessment Instead, it has been repeatedly stuck, maybe it is to wait for the success of the SLS before allowing him to launch, which Musk has not yet any way, even in social media whining are afraid.

Then there is the problem of Twitter's false accounts, Twitter claims less than 5%, Musk's preliminary investigation is nearly 20%, more ironic is that his own more than 90 million followers on Twitter, it is possible that 70% are fake; and more than 20 million followers of U.S. President Joe Biden, it is also possible that 47% may be fake! Is this Twitter worth buying or not?

Besides, Musk paid $11 billion in taxes last year, making him the most taxed individual ever in the United States in one year, and even then, it was thought that he should contribute more to society. The United Nations World Food Program forced him to sell stock to donate $6 billion to save the hungry, and the Democratic Party wants to make policies to make billionaires pay more taxes, Musk is really burnt out.

However, the top has a policy, the bottom has a response, Musk simply donated $5.7 billion of stock in anger, but not to the United Nations, but to his own foundation, the direction is for renewable energy, space exploration, pediatric medicine, STEM science and technology education, and artificial intelligence for the benefit of mankind.

California made him pay 54.1%, totaling $11 billion in taxes, so he simply sold his entire estate and moved to a small $50,000 Texas home with no state personal income tax or capital gains tax to legally avoid tens of billions of dollars in taxes in the future.

It seems that the road is one foot high, the devil is one foot high, who called Musk so much wealth, just like the "Journey to the West" of the Tang monk, who wants to eat his meat. Musk had to be constantly vigilant, and people who want his money to fight, and today was the bottom of the standard 500 ESG index, want to break his way, not angry is strange,it seems that a tall tree also attracts the wind in the U.S., do the world's richest man is not easy ah.
