Even as Elon Musk’s gutting of the federal government is ravaging state and local government budgets, local and state governments are continuing to buy Elon Musk’s products and invest billions in Tesla stock. They shouldn’t.
So, we have launched the Divest Public Money from Elon Musk campaign. Our campaign has two main goals: 1. Get City, County and State governments to stop doing business with Elon Musk’s companies, including Tesla, X, and Starlink 2. Get public pensions to divest from Tesla Campaigners in California, Colorado, Maryland, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin have already started.
And just two weeks after our campaign kickoff event, the $500 million Lehigh County pension fund became the first pension fund to halt all new investments in Tesla, owing to concerns about Elon Musk’s political activity.
Join us on this call to learn how you can get involved (or start!) a Divest Musk campaign in your city or state!
