Elon Musk did not forget to joke on April 1st. In his latest post on X, he made fun of Walt Disney. He said he is the new Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) at Disney. The fact that the announcement came on April 1 attracted great attention on social media.
Elon Musk’s April Fools’ Day joke mocking Disney
“I’m excited to join Disney as Chief DEI Officer and look forward to working with Bob Iger (Disney CEO) and Kathleen Kennedy (film producer) to make their content more Woke (a US term for equality),” Musk said in a post.
Elon Musk has actually been criticizing the policies of companies like Disney and Netflix for a long time. Disney, which uses elements of Woke culture in many of its productions, is accused of not treating communities equally. Actress Gina Carano was even fired from The Mandalorian for criticizing this strategy.
Samsung plans to reuse wastewater to meet the huge water needs of its semiconductor manufacturing processes.
Although Musk’s post was quite explicit, he did not say whether it was an April Fools’ joke. However, given the date of the post, it seems that Musk’s new target is companies like Disney and Netflix.
One user who runs Elon Musk’s parody account even joked, “Sorry, I posted from the wrong account”. Musk, on the other hand, did not keep silent about this comment and shared a smile emoji.
On the other hand, Musk filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman last week. Accordingly, he said that the non-profit organization has moved away from its goal. He claimed that OpenAI is now more focused on profit-generating endeavors.
