He's slashing critical services. He's gutting federal agencies that protect our food and health. He has unprecedented access to government data. Many, many people will die because of Musk's actions; in fact, according to one study, over 145,000 people are estimated to have already died as a result of sudden cuts to USAID. 

Since February, thousands of people have protested at Tesla showrooms across the country to push back against Musk’s government takeover. Musk’s toxic personal brand – complete with Nazi salutes and open fawning over far-right parties – and these mass mobilizations are tanking Tesla’s stock. CNBC reported that Tesla shares dropped more than 28% this past February. New York State’s pension fund owns approximately 3.5 million shares of Tesla stock. Tesla constitutes the seventh-largest share of our state pension fund’s holdings. New Yorkers do not wish to see our public funds invested in the company of the man leading an unconstitutional and devastating takeover of the government; nor do we wish to see our hard-earned retirement savings hurt by financially toxic Tesla stock. NYS Comptroller Tom DiNapoli has the power to decide what our state pension invests in. He also has a fiduciary duty to make investment decisions that safeguard New Yorkers' retirement savings. Sign this petition to call on Comptroller DiNapoli to divest New York State’s pension fund from Tesla! https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/new-york-state-divest-from-tesla
