The billionaire is chief executive officer and the largest shareholder of Tesla, the electric-vehicle maker which has boasted that underrepresented groups make up the majority of its US workforce.
Elon Musk on Friday evening criticized Diversity, Equity and Inclusion as "propaganda words" despite efforts by Tesla Inc. to promote such initiatives. “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” are propaganda words for racism, sexism and other -isms.This is just as morally wrong as any other racism and sexism. Changing the target class doesn't make it right!
The billionaire is chief executive officer and the largest shareholder of Tesla, the electric-vehicle maker which has boasted that underrepresented groups make up the majority of its US workforce. The company didn't respond to requests for comment on Musk's views, made on the social-media platform X, which he owns.
Tesla, with headquarters in Austin and factories in California, Nevada, Texas and New York, published its first ever Diversity, Equity and Inclusion report in December 2020. More recently, DEI efforts have been part of the EV maker's annual impact report.
