BOSTON (Reuters) - S&P Dow Jones Indices has removed electric carmaker Tesla Inc from its widely-followed S&P 500 ESG Index, citing issues including racial discrimination claims against the company and its handling of a government investigation after crashes linked to its autopilot vehicles.

The changes, effective May 2, were described in May 17 blog post sent by a spokesman for the index provider on Wednesday.

I drank the Musk Kool-Aid years ago and don't regret it one bit. He is a refreshing truth teller and an incredible visionary.

I can't wait 'til Musk tells NASA that SpaceX can no longer send their Astronauts to the ISS. Russia is the only other country offering this service, perhaps Team Bye-Done will run crying to Russia to resume manned launches instead of going with SpaceX.

The FAA is playing hardball with Musk on the StarShip launch. I am looking forward to the 400 ft. tall rocket launch to orbit!

>It’s the Environmental, Social and Governance Index.
No sane company even wants to be considered for it.

Are you serious?

ESG is now the gold standard for investors.

You see our economy has been so manipulated and infiltrated by the red diaper doper baby acolytes of Saul Alinsky that corporations are no longer in the business of making money, but now serve as a political tool of the globalist left, just as with mass media and entertainment.

Musk is an African American of the wrong color.

That explains the situation well!

We ought to develop our own exchanges. Have two: WOKE and MAGA.

Have them both start at the same number, say 1,000, then see where they are six months from now

What discrimination has to do with SP500?
