Is this something they did, or an a shitty ESG persons opinion?

Tesla no longer qualifies for inclusion in the S&P 500 ESG Index.
...
“A few of the factors contributing to its 2021 [ESG] Score were a decline in criteria level scores related to Tesla’s (lack of) low carbon strategy and codes of business conduct,” wrote Maggie Dorn, senior director and head of ESG Indices, North America, at S&P Dow Jones Indices, in a blog post.

edit: Oh it's some stupid ESG index, not actually the sp500 index.

ESG just seems evil. Literally evil.
