The biggest billionaire in the world, Elon Musk, and Shark Tank star and Dallas Mavericks owner, Mark Cuban, got into a fight about the topic of Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion (DEI) programmes in US companies.
When Mr. Musk criticised DEI and called it “literally the definition of racism” in a post on X, formerly Twitter, the social media debate heated up.After reading the post, Mr. Cuban replied right away, saying, “Let me help you out and give you my thoughts on DEI.” “You may not agree, but I take it as a given that there are people who are routinely excluded from consideration for employment, regardless of their race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc.,” he wrote. We can locate more qualified candidates if we broaden our hiring search to include them.”
