In a recent fiery battle between two titans of industry, Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of SpaceX and Mark Cuban, the minority team owner of the Dallas Mavericks, clashed on social media over the leftist darling concept of DEI — diversity, equity, and inclusion. Musk, known for his no-nonsense approach, didn’t mince words when he called out DEI as “just another word for racism” and “shame on anyone who uses it.” He didn’t need a bunch of fancy words to explain his point, and who could blame him? It’s pretty simple – hiring or not hiring someone based on their skin color is just plain old racism, plain and simple.
But Cuban, with his leftist sensibilities, couldn’t resist a good old-fashioned lecture. He began with the condescending line, “Let me help you understand,” as if everyone else was just living in the dark ages. He then launched into a convoluted defense of DEI, claiming that “treating people equally does not mean treating them the same.” Like, what? Treating people equally doesn’t mean treating them equally? That’s just some woke nonsense right there.
Let me help you out and give you my thoughts on DEI
1. Diversity
Good businesses look where others don't, to find the employees that will put your business in the best possible position to succeed.
You may not agree, but I take it as a given that there are people of various… https://t.co/L00fl6ggUD— Mark Cuban (@mcuban) January 3, 2024
Musk didn’t waste time on Cuban’s word soup. He simply asked when they could expect to see short white or Asian women on the Mavs team. I mean, let’s face it, it would be pretty ridiculous to have a short woman playing in the NBA, right? So where’s the diversity in that? Occam’s razor in action, folks. Sometimes the simplest question cuts through all the nonsense.
Even evangelist Franklin Graham chimed in, pointing out that going woke might be good for business, but sin has always been good for business. DEI may be a moneymaker for wealthy woke men, but at the end of the day, racism is still a sin – plain and simple.
In conclusion, Musk’s straightforward approach and commitment to unraveling the complexities of leftist arguments with one simple question demonstrate the power of Occam’s razor. And let’s face it, trying to build a foundation of sand on a cockeyed scheme like DEI is just a fool’s game. It’s time to cut through the nonsense and focus on what really matters – treating everyone as equals, regardless of race. Because that’s what true equity is all about. And that’s the conservative truth, no bells and whistles required.
