Elon Musk is dead right: BoeingAs insane commitment to DEI could literally kill people.

oPeople will die due to DEI,o he thundered on X.

The tech titan was slamming the aeronautics firm after one of its planes
blew a fuselage panel out in midair, with a tragic disaster only narrowly averted.

Specifically, he pointed out that Boeing in 2022 began rewarding execs financially for hitting climate and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion targets
u shifting sole focus away from safety and quality, where it had been
before.

oDo you want to fly in an airplane where they prioritized DEI hiring over
your safety?o Musk asked.

And heAs not even exaggerating.

Per a 2023 report from Boeing, oOur goal was to achieve diverse interview slates for at least 90% of manager and executive openingso u with an
actual o92% of interview slates being diverse, resulting in 47% diverse hires.o

Yep: People responsible for making sure your plane doesnAt crash are now officially less concerned about getting the best person for the job than checking various woke corporate identity boxes.

Such thinking is bad enough when financial firms do it under the guise of
ESG, oenvironmental, social and governanceo rules for investing.

But when that goes badly, investors merely take a loss.

With Boeing u as we may have just seen in the Alaska Airlines near-
disaster u the results are much worse and more concrete.

Indeed, the same insanity is afoot in US medicine.

Notably, med school curricula have been wokified and academic standards lowered in order to push fake oequity.o

Enough is enough. Boeing and every other firm whose product or service
means the difference between life and death need to get back to basics and give up on the whole ugly DEI charade.
