Elon Musk calls out Mark Cuban over DEI: ‘His hypocrisy convinces no one’
NY Post
Elon Musk hit out at Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban for his full-throated defense of DEI, or diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives across corporate America in a scathing tweet on Thursday.
“Mark Cuban is desperately trying to signal his ‘virtue,’ but his hypocrisy convinces no one,” Musk wrote as the two billionaires engaged in an online brawl on the X social media platform following the resignation of Harvard President Claudine Gay.
Cuban, who recently announced his departure from the hit business reality TV show “Shark Tank,” responded: “Lol.”
Musk was responding to an X user who asked Cuban “whether he thinks it is okay for Asians to face discrimination in college admissions.”
Cuban “dodged the question and gave a non-answer,” according to the X user who goes by the name “The Rabbit Hole.”
The Mavericks owner on Wednesday spoke up for DEI after it was panned by Musk and fellow billionaire Bill Ackman, the hedge fund manager who has been among the most vocal in calling for Gay’s removal.
