In the heart of California’s Yolo County, the progressive college town of Davis is making headlines for a audacious proposal: severing all ties with companies controlled by Elon Musk. On February 17, 2026, the Davis City Council convened to debate a resolution that would ban new contracts, purchases, and even the use of Tesla Robotaxis by the city, while urging the massive California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) to dump its Tesla stock. This isn’t just local politics—it’s a flashpoint in the growing divide between Musk’s libertarian-leaning empire and left-leaning institutions wary of his influence.

Jim Cramer Finally Gets Tesla: It’s a Robotics Juggernaut, Not a Car Company – The 2026 Pivot That’s Reshaping Investing

In a stunning reversal that’s got Wall Street buzzing, legendary CNBC host Jim Cramer has declared Tesla (TSLA) “actually a robotics company” – echoing what Elon Musk and Tesla’s die-hard fans have been shouting from the rooftops for years.
