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 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!
Are you serious?

What discrimination has to do with SP500?
