Elon Musk says 'DEI must DIE,' explains why

Elon Musk is apparently not a fan of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs, arguing that such initiatives are destructive and need to be ended.

The tech billionaire took to his social media platform, X, on Friday to declare that "DEI must DIE," saying, "The point was to end discrimination, not replace it with different discrimination."

DEI policies have come under increased scrutiny in recent months amid a surge in antisemitism on college campuses following Hamas' terrorist attack on Israel on October 7. Critics argue that the programs favor certain "protected" groups while allowing hostility toward others, such as Jewish students and faculty members, in this case.
