The world’s second richest man, X owner Elon Musk, is exposing and avenging diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) discrimination in a series of damning posts on X.
Musk revealed on Tuesday alleged internal documents from Disney, showing what he characterized as the “mandatory, institutionalized racism and sexism” in Disney’s inclusion standards. Stunningly, Musk followed up with a major promise: the individuals whom Disney discriminated against will receive legal support. “Here is the full racist, sexist, etc discriminatory set of laws enforced by Disney’s DEI Gestapo,” Musk said, also sharing a screenshot of the alleged Disney document. The purported document showed Disney offered preferential treatment to “underrepresented groups” and other victims of DEI.
The alleged documents require that “50% or more” of actors, writers, and other employees of Disney productions “come from underrepresented groups,” while placing other discriminatory burdens on potential productions.
Despite these requirements, which Musk called “laboriously vile” and “illegal” the other documents strenuously deny that this decision will harm people who do not belong to an underrepresented group. The documents gaslight employees by arguing that removing “systemic barriers” will achieve these mandatory goals. The same documents claimed that productions are “encouraged” to hire job candidates who lack the needed experience.”
In other words, move out of the way, we’ve got to reach our 50 percent quota.
Musk has already offered his support to former The Mandalorian actress Gina Carano, who sued Disney for firing her with a statement criticizing her social media use. In early 2021, Disney fired Carano and denounced “her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities” in the statement on her dismissal. Carano thanked Musk for providing her a lawyer to investigate her firing and blasted Disney in a Feb. 6 post on X. “It has been difficult to move forward with the lies & labels stuck on me, backed & encouraged by the most powerful entertainment company in the world,” Carano wrote. “I am grateful someone has come to my defense in such a powerful way & look forward to clearing my name.”
Musk went on to tie Disney’s obsessive focus on DEI and the onerous requirements from these documents to recent Disney box office failures: “No wonder most of their content produced over the past several years has sucked. Just trying to navigate the DEI minefield is going to crush the creative process!” Musk said that this ideology “crushes the spirit” of those who seek to “make great art.”
