In the past, its CEO, Elon Musk\u2014who also controls Tesla\u2014had described environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria as &#8220;a scam weaponized by phony social justice warriors.&#8221; Now that the company&#8217;s shares are publicly traded, it&#8217;s tempting to wonder how SpaceX is perceived in the world of responsible investment and ESG screening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s start with rating agencies and analysts specializing in sustainability. MSCI was the first major agency to act, assigning SpaceX the lowest possible rating in June, with a particularly low score on governance and a high level of controversy. Another major player in non-financial ratings, Morningstar Sustainalytics, also placed the company in the &#8220;severe&#8221; risk category. According to Sustainalytics, the company&#8217;s mix of activities\u2014including satellite connectivity, rocket launches, national security, artificial intelligence, and social media via X\u2014exposes it to a plethora of ESG risks. <a href=\"https:\/\/illuminem.com\/illuminemvoices\/spacex-and-esg-reflections-on-a-scam\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/illuminem.com\/illuminemvoices\/spacex-and-esg-reflections-on-a-scam\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">illuminem<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On June 12, SpaceX went public.
