The fundamental issue is that half of all publicly-traded shares are controlled by passive index funds who, for the most part, outsource their shareholder vote to the advisory firms of ISS and Glass Lewis. ISS and Glass Lewis have no actual ownership themselves and often vote along random political lines unrelated to shareholder interests! This is a major problem that is not just limited to Tesla. For example, they recommend voting against re-electing one of our excellent longstanding directors, Ira Ehrenpreis, for “insufficient gender diversity”, but, at the same time, also recommend voting against re-electing Kathleen Wilson-Thompson!(Elon Musk)
