It’s his company, he can run it any way he wants? Gay and woksters can STFU until they can match his achievements.

"President of its LGBTQ+ community and a lead involved in diversity and inclusivity programs"

If you're wondering what the job description is for those positions, aside from indoctrination programs and posting nauseating posters...

They penalize you in your annual review if you are insufficiently supportive of their agenda.

Before I retired, I refused to sit in meetings with this guy in women's clothes who seemed to be staring at me just a bit too much. (it was NOT my imagination)

The problem with “diversity” and “inclusiveness” is that the way these are being used is to silo everyone into groups so that individuality (the real diversity) is completely swallowed up in identity politics.

Ironically, this is one of the biggest complaints of minorities. A black person does not necessarily want to be asked to give an opinion on something based on representing all black people. Etc. Etc.

There needs to be a balance between diversity and community, inclusiveness and cohesion.

Diversity means don’t hire Whitey, normal people, people with all original body parts still intact and people who go to church.

“laid off both the President of its LGBTQ+ community”

WHY the hell would a company need an “LGBTQ community” never mind a President of it? What the hell does sexual preference have to do with making cars? Is this to make pink cars?

>>senior software engineer in charge of naming conventions in Tesla’s vehicle UI team

A “senior” engineer in charge of “naming conventions”? Oh, that just screams competence, definitely NOT a diversity hire. </sarc>

LOL. Musk is going full anti-Woke and the Left’s heads are exploding.

It even got a story out of the new “non-sensational” CNN, which allegedly isn’t supposed to print leftwing clickbait as news anymore.

These people are so used to corporations bowing toward the
alter of the woken outcasts, that it must have come as a
real shock when one of them cashiered their sorry ass.

Hopefully other corporations will grow a set, and adopt
this policy.

Companies don’t need to have “clubs” or “programs” for certain people who work there. Why do the LGBTQxyz’s have to have extra attention wherever they work or live or go to school? I’m not sorry to say to them...”You’re Not Special”! They need to get over themselves.

They only exist almost exclusively in government (and because of government) because government (certainly US government anyway) has access to printed money and unlimited debt.
Oddly enough that (government printed money and unlimited debt AKA taxpayers) is exactly what he's been using to make him so wealthy and a genius.

Ponzi and Madoff had pyramids that came to a head built with limited private funds. Musk doesn't, he has/had unlimited taxpayer funds.

“Those positions are unproductive and a waste of money.”

Worse. Load up a legislative body with people like that and you will end up with very bad legislative policy and direction.

Same with a private company. Load it up with people who are unstable - can’t tell up from down; boy from girl; right from wrong - and you are headed for trouble.

The U.S. has been playing around with fire for a few decades and we are just about kaput.

This “woke virus” is serious and debilitating. Try to imagine how much capital is squandered and productivity is lessened nationwide as American corporations waste time, money and resources implementing and enforcing these lunatic policies.

Just like Participation trophies has fostered non-useful employees-——

Affirmative Action fostered the Diversity crap.

All are NON-productive-— tight budgets or not.
