TONY: ESG is flawed as it funnels funds into the same stocks "If you look into the top ESG stocks that are out there with the highest ratings, the highest environmental, social and governance ratings, they're companies like Apple and they're big companies that make smartphones." "And they get high ranks on ESG. However, at the bottom of their lithium supply chain is a cobalt mine in the Congo where there are absolutely not humanitarian conditions taking place."
