On Friday's broadcast of HBO's “Real Time,” Billionaire Mark Cuban, co-founder of Cost Plus Drug Company, said DEI initiatives and programs have been set back on college campuses due to legal rulings. , said that companies like his company are still in existence. The only difference is, “We're not going to go out and brag about it.” But the principles are still the same. ”
“There's such a reaction to Waitism,” Joe Scarborough, co-host of MSNBC's “Morning Joe,” said while discussing Silicon Valley's political leanings. … [T]Again and again, when I talk to people in Silicon Valley, it always comes back to that. They want to tax us, but over the last four, five, six years they've started talking about weightism. ”
Host Bill Maher then interjected and said that wokeism is a particular problem for SpaceX CEO Elon Musk.
Scarborough interjected and asked, “Do you think that's going backwards?”
Cuban replied: [are] Two elements, right? There [are] Both sides. There's definitely a setback on college campuses because of legal decisions, right? Because you can't do that. Some states have ruled against it. In companies, like my company, DEI, diversity, equity, and inclusion remain important. We're not going to go out and brag about it. But the principles are still the same. And I think that's consistent. ”
