If you have a retirement account with "normal" recommended investments (I.e. broad-market mutual funds, target date or otherwise), you're (indirectly) a Tesla shareholder and the fund manager likely voted your shares for this on your behalf.

You've been disenfranchised and the people controlling your money are breaching their fiduciary duty to you. You should be fucking pissed off!

I would speculate that almost all people have either a general version or have part of it in specifically tech funds, so almost everyone has "contributed" to this. Even better are people who have typical a 401k though a company that have very limited ways to change how the investing is done.
