美国财政部已提议制定新规,将环境、社会和治理(ESG)投资基金排除在“特朗普账户”之外。财政部长斯科特·贝森特(Scott Bessent)表示,政府打算禁止使用ESG标准,并指出该框架已被活动人士“武器化”,致使政治议程被置于财务表现之上。 包括埃隆·马斯克及多位共和党议员在内的ESG批评者长期以来认为,这些评级标准不一致且带有意识形态色彩,往往在惩罚创新的同时,偏袒那些基于主观社会指标的公司。财政部通过强制要求合格指数使用客观财务数据追踪广泛的市场板块,旨在保护这些账户免受支持者所称的“觉醒”激进主义的影响,以防其损害投资者回报。 “特朗普账户”于7月4日推出,已获得广泛参与,目前已有超过700万个注册账户,200万名儿童符合联邦缴款资格。此举反映了政府为使投资策略脱离ESG强制要求所做的更广泛努力;批评者(如作家詹姆斯·林赛)认为,ESG是削弱企业独立性并推动全球集权议程的工具。

The Treasury Department is moving forward with rules that would exclude investment funds built around scammy, globalist environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria from Trump Accounts.

Fox Business reports that under the newly proposed framework, qualifying indexes would need to track broad segments of US or global equity markets using objective financial criteria, rather than criteria crafted by social justice warriors who seek to make the West energy-poor.

"Corporate America has rejected ESG ideology, and we will not allow it to be a part of Trump Accounts," Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told the outlet in a statement.

ESG scores have been hijacked and "weaponized" by social justice warriors over the years. For instance, large tobacco companies have received higher ESG scores than Elon Musk's Tesla.

"Exxon is rated top ten best in world for environment, social & governance (ESG) by S&P 500, while Tesla didn't make the list!" Elon Musk wrote on X several years ago.

Musk is right...

Meanwhile, earlier this year, the ESG ruse continued with MSCI's decision to assign SpaceX the "lowest possible ESG rating," while Big Oil and defense companies scored high on the list.

ESG investing has drawn criticism from Republicans who say these funds incorporate ESG standards that may subordinate investor returns to political priorities.

Trump Accounts launched on July 4 and have attracted more than 7 million registrations, the outlet said, citing a Treasury spokeswoman. More than 2 million enrolled children are eligible for a $1,000 federal contribution.

James Lindsay, the author of "Race Marxism" and other books challenging woke narratives, has noted that ESG is merely a weapon in the hands of "social justice warriors" seeking to shake down corporations and a tool for those attempting to impose a "one-world government."
