Here's a very short video wherein Musk tries to tell Don Lemon that DEI is killing people, specifically in medicine (by lowering the standards, more mistakes are going to happen).

Lemon says: "I don't understand what you are saying...do you have any evidence for this." (paraphrased).

Elon Musk schools Don Lemon on DEI
I hate to say it, but Don Lemon must be dumb as a post if he can't understand what Musk is saying.

Coming from Medicine to aviation, especially Boeing’s problems.

I was born at the end of 1942 (yes, 1942) and began to get aware of things like aviation disasters and technology in general by 1950, when I turned eight. One of the things I most clearly remember is the amount of trouble the British had when they introduced their Comet passenger jet, the world’s first jet passenger aircraft. It seemed the thing was had a tendency to fall out of the sky and there were at least three major crashes that killed everyone aboard. Research revealed that the cause was metal fatigue resulting from repeated pressure pressurization and depressurization. About a year or two later Boeing came out with the 707, its first jet passenger aircraft, an aircraft that was designed by a bunch of old white guys using nothing but their knowledge of aircraft construction and design along with slide rules, laughably primitive computers, and manual calculators. In spite of all that primitivity, Boeing went on brilliantly producing thousands of passenger jets that became the safest form of transportation in the world.

Then came the 737 Max, which has shown almost as alarming a tendency to fall out of the sky as the old British Commets. What could be the reason for all of this since modern aircraft designers have excellent access to all kinds of superb digital equipment that should enable them to do a much better job of designing aircraft like the 737 Max than the old slide rules, laughably primitive computers, and manual calculators gave their predecessors?

Funny thing, isn’t it, that all the 737 Max problems coincide quite nicely with Boeing going woke and making major DEI efforts in its employment and personnel areas to avoid accusations of horrible sins like racism, sexism, and ableism.
