Elon Musk Charges Disney With ‘Institutionalized Racism And Sexism’ Over Leaked ‘Inclusion Standards’ Memo, Dangles Legal Aid To Discriminated
From Nasdaq_SEGMENT:
Elon Musk intensifies criticism of Disney, alleging “institutionalized racism and sexism” within the company. He shared Disney’s “General Entertainment Content Inclusion Standards” on Twitter, sparking a heated debate. Musk’s corporation also partnered to support Gina Carano in her legal battle against Disney and Lucasfilm after her termination from the Star Wars franchise. This extends beyond diversity standards, as he has predicted a “meaningful decline” in Disney’s future and openly criticized Bob Iger and Disney’s CEO. Musk has also criticized the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) agenda, branding it as “extremely anti-Semitic” and “dangerous.” He has also lashed out against such hiring standards in the airline industry as well in big tech companies. Musk reshared his post, offering legal support to anyone who believes they were discriminated against by Disney or its subsidiaries. This feud is especially significant considering Disney’s suspension of advertising on X after Musk interacted with an antisemitic post. Musk has expressed disdain for companies that suspended advertising, declaring, “If someone is going to blackmail me with advertising or money, go f*** yourself.” In addition, last year, the Department of Justice sued Musk-owned SpaceX for allegedly discriminating against asylees and refugees in hiring.
