Mark Cuban doesn’t even have an Asian or Hispanic man on his basketball team 😮‍💨😮‍💨

[PhilMoskowitz]

I always got racist vibes from Musk and this confirms. I don't care much for DEI either, but blaming an aircraft accident on it is nothing more than trying to push a racist worldview.

The Apartheid in "Apartheid rich kid" it's really starting to show huh?

[TimBitts]

Mark Cuban is a great guy. Morally principled. He should prove it by hiring a bunch of short Asian women, for his sports teams. Sports are racist, sexist, the Black Patriarchy dominates talent. We need more women to step up, be the next Michael Jordan. Diversity is our strength.

Blacks should stop supporting Tesla, stop buying cars and stock!

[luciferverone]

I mean DEI is racist to its core, there is no doubt about that.

Sometimes I forget Elon in from South Africa and then he reminds me.

[jaybailleaux]

Elon is simply smarter and moralistic compared to Cuban.

America, you no longer apply standards of character to anyone or anything.

[ToallpointsWest]

Elon is showing his privilege from apartheid South Africa

[GizmoMaltese]

I'm glad to see that Elon is working for important causes like the oppression of White men in America.

Mr Musk taking on the fools and jobs no one else will do. Thank you sir.

"Are you ready to rumble !?"

[BigDwag]

They will be a day when all the rich people will be fighting over each other and the poor people will be living in peace.

[pegaines]

I will not buy a Tesla. Musk views on race are troubling.

[fabolousjada]

Its true he doesnt sign black stars lol peep his rosters of course theres black people but the team is never centered around him

[Alexandria.Washington]

DEI an absolute necessity. It’s the “anti-slavery, anti-JimCrow, anti-discrimination” solution needed to try and restore the inequalities imposed upon the Copper Colored Aboriginal Indigenous American Tribes of North America (formerly known as Black Americans/African Americans). It’s only a small gesture considering they NEVER received their forty acres (or the mule).

Hey, Elon, your starships explode, and your cars take flight. less time being an ahole more time working at your companies. The difference between generations –
There was a generation that saved humanity then came home to send people to the moon. There was no such thing as acceptable failure to them. It was the Soviet Union that pretended something was not a failure or that it did not happen at all.

This generation, failure with phrases like unscheduled rapid disassembly to compensate for ineptitude is ok because at least you participated, and you are entitled to something. This is the same generation demanding communism in this country as they applaud and cheer total failure.

Then Generation – “Failure is not an option”
Today’s Generation – ‘We are not afraid of failure”

I've been applying non-stop and I think declaring I'm white and male is the reason I haven't gotten a job yet, and the years just pass by without work experience.
