In an April Fool X post, Elon Musk, the billionaire creator and CEO of Tesla, was named The Walt Disney Company’s new Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer.
Elon Musk, a multibillionaire who has gained notoriety by criticising the stances of major corporations such as Disney, Netflix, and others that he views as progressive, announced on Twitter that he will join Disney as chief DEI officer. The term DEI stands for “diversity, equity, and inclusion.”
“Excited to collaborate with Bob Iger & Kathleen Kennedy to make their content MORE woke!” he stated in his post.
The president of Lucasfilm, which is currently a part of Disney, is Kathleen Kennedy. Their most recent film together is “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.”
In his tweets, Musk often harshly criticizes DEI regulations and asserts that this is a new kind of discrimination against individuals with conventional beliefs and values.
Elon Musk, whose business endeavours include the aerospace and automotive sectors (SpaceX and Tesla, respectively), expressed his excitement about the new position on Monday via his social networking site, X.
The Walt Disney Company is a well-known name in the world of entertainment. Bob Iger leads it and has important individuals like Kathleen Kennedy overseeing its many businesses.
Its extensive portfolio includes theme parks, film studios, and several television networks.
Musk and Bob Iger, the CEO of Disney, got into a spat last year after Iger removed Disney ads from Twitter, and X. Elon Musk made it known to CNBC that he would not tolerate being blackmailed financially or through advertising by Iger or anybody else.
He told them where to go and said they are not obligated to advertise on X. Elon Musk’s April Fool’s joke seems a little harsh.
We earlier reported that the most recent Grok-1.5 chatbot from Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence startup, xAI, will be accessible on his social media platform X starting next week, the billionaire announced in a post on X on Friday.
He said that Grok 2 should outperform existing AI in every way.
