Wait, Philip Morris (tobacco) scores 84 on ESG while Tesla gets 37? 🤔 Musk just called this out on Twitter—and honestly, he's got a point. Tesla's literally pushing the EV revolution, yet Big Tobacco ranks higher in "sustainability" scores?
The math doesn't add up. Shell and Exxon also beat Tesla on ESG ratings. Musk has been vocal before: the whole system feels backwards.
Here's the thing though:
- ESG funds keep flowing toward "high-scorers"
- Companies are accused of gaming the ratings
- Some say it's politically motivated
- Others argue Tesla tanks on *social* and *governance* factors, no
