I'm really surprised to hear that. I don't really use either but wow.
Of course Meta is doing everything to make Threads work, and Elon is doing everything to burn X to the ground, there's that :P But yes it is impressive.
> take precedence over the impact of the actual company
Either you think that social (and to a lesser extent governance) impact is impact or you don't and that will pretty much decide how you view ESGs. It's not as if Elon is ranting in a vacuum where those views don't manifest in real effects in the companies he owns and the wider political sphere. Regardless of how you feel about how S scores as they're currently measured and their worth as an ethical north star Musk companies don't get very many marks. And that's fine -- I think that's the point, it seems very purposeful. It seems that Elon only actually cared when that fact hurt his stock price, not on principle.
And I'm sure investing in 1789 Capital will skew the other direction and that's fine too. You won't hear me saying their indexes are illegitimate because they do what it says on the tin.
Am in no way saying that a gas company should be included but the exclusion makes sense.
