I'm a hiring manager for a company that recently won a bunch of awards for diversity, our policy is "it's nice to hire PoC, LGBTQ+ people, and women whenever possible" we don't reject candidates because of their race, and we don't hire unqualified people because of their race or any of the other boogeyman poo poo Musk and co. are promoting. It's great for attracting top talent who doesn't want to work in a bigoted hell hole, and it keeps the bigots from applying.

E: full disclosure, when I I'm done with interviewing a white guy I do sigh and role my eyes theatrically and shout "fine, I guess we'll hire another CIS WHITE MALE BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER APPLICANTS" then I throw things and storm out.

He does post about hurdles on legal immigration, but always in a "tech workers in South and East Asia should be allowed in the US to work for my companies for cheap" kind of way

welcome to dead gay dog house
a young man was attending his mandatory gender studies class at harvard and his marxist professor, who looked like the bad kind of mexican, started explaining a variation on the classic trolley problem using the effects and consequences of language rather than the standard 'bystander switch' model.

the professor, who was probably gay by the way, was not even halfway through the lecture when the young student valiantly stood and yelled: "sir! i would immediately use a slur if it meant saving the life of even one white cis child!"

the professor, shocked, said "young man. i haven't said anything about any of that. what the gently caress is wrong with you. sit your rear end back down"

the student, knowing he had won, eased back into his seat and returned to his domination run in civ vi (on deity difficulty)

that student's name? elon musk.

Now the scene's lighting is perfect!
Can't get over the fact that instead of the attention-seeking owner of the site providing endearing pictures of himself (which shouldn't be too hard given his resources, despite his looks) to be adored by his fans, those fans themselves have to create what they would imagine a benevolent Elon Musk would look like via AI, like a loving father or somebody wishing them happy Easter. He can't even do that himself and relies on his goons to provide six-fingered depictions of this alternate reality where he shows some love and empathy or something. That's so sad and wrong.

Sorry Elon, but it's just a fact that conservatives have genetically-linked lower intelligence, which is why their numbers decrease as you go into the higher levels of academic achievement.

Some people say we should have DEI quotas to give conservatives more of a place in academia, but wouldn't that be unfair to all the qualified liberals this would take jobs away from?

They also shamelessly want socialism for Whites Only, which hilariously led <especially fascist "I will be a dictator on day one" former president here> to sign a small handful of the most socialist bills/policies we've seen this side of LBJ.

aw man I feel left out of the DEI discord you guys are all brigading in, please tell me more about how i'm a racist for having an opinion about lovely corporate practices

I don't know why you thought this would go over well but yeah corporations tend to suck at DEI because they don't care about people anyhow. They tend to work best when they at least put someone in charge of it who cares and is educated on the subject otherwise it's a silly dog and pony show to trot out when people start asking why there are so many white guys in the office.

So anyhow you can say something like that without sounding straight maga. Don't let people get their hooks in you on this stuff dude.
