Elon Musk declared that he's going to vote for Republicans

This could be pretty much expected, and I think that he may be serious. xd

Elon Musk says he'll vote Republican, bashes Democrats

Musk has been historically anti-union, opposed to a billionaire's tax and is a vocal critic of President Biden.

Even if he's not serious, it's a good move. If anything just to get the hate machine spinning and out of the way once it tires out.

Kind of a get it over with now rather than later thing.

Also the ree-ing will be hilarious. They were already rabidly screeching about him. Now they'll turn it up to 11. I am curious to see all the hit pieces that come out about him.

What'll it be? Rape gangs? Touching children? Hate crimes? All of the above? It'll at least be entertaining to find out.

His follow up about "we need a moderate party" was mega cringe though. The "moderates" are the Uniparty types that got us in this mess in the first place

Baby steps my friend. He’ll realize that soon enough. Or maybe he already does and is playing dumb; I obviously couldn’t say.

No, it's the fucking neo-cons/neo-libs and progressives who got us into the current mess.

Moderates are why Trump was elected in 2016; they flipped to him from the Dems.

Blaming moderates for being 'uniparty' is a wholly mistaken approach and a great way to hurt the progress the GOP has made in bringing moderates on-side.

Also, Musk isn't wrong that a 3rd party is needed; the two-party system is poison to reasonable politics.

Tesla has been removed from the ESG Index, the Environmental, Social, Governance group section of the S&P 500. This has cratered Tesla stock since many index funds invest specifically in the ESG and have had to sell suddenly.

A few of the factors contributing to its 2021 S&P DJI ESG Score were a decline in criteria level scores related to Tesla’s (lack of) low carbon strategy...

Quite a few people are scratching their heads as to why Tesla, the electric car company, has a lack of low carbon strategy. Especially given the stock they replaced it with, declaring that company in the top 10 most environmentally friendly companies... Exxonmobile.

These two aren't the only head scratchers in the index's latest update.

Musk isn't happy. The internet is generating memes about it, and has noted that the ESG doesn't exactly promote companies with an environmental bent, but one bending the knee to a specific political party.
