The case is the Police and Fire Retirement System of Detroit v. Musk, 2020-0477, Delaware Chancery Court (Wilmington).

Do retirements funds invests in stocks ? Didnt they learned from 2007 ?

Two points:

  1. It's the fiscally responsible thing for these pension funds to do. They have diversified investments, including S&P500 stocks. I hope the police and firefighter pension realized all those TSLA gains.
  2. Institutional investors have POWER, and we don't want all institutional investors to be investment banks. Why isn't it good news that a union pension fund is holding a greedy board accountable for outsized executive pay? These guys saw a material impact in their investments at TSLA due to board BS and sued the board.
