Didn’t Microsoft downsize or entirely eliminate a DEI team this past fall? And Apple CEO Tim Cook both attended AND gave $1milllion to Trump’s inauguration.

If MSFT eliminated the team, I really question how sincere their "policies" really are (and laying off thousands more while making record profits suggests they DGAF about employees anyways).
Words are cheap. Much cheaper than the $1M each donated to the inauguration. Time will tell if they're real.
Let me put it this way: Its in their best interest to keep DEI in some form, even if not explicitly. To do otherwise is a fast-track to losing talent, and the tech industry is a little too volatile to afford that. They *probably* don't want to lose devs to Apple or Linux...

I suspect Apple, like many others, didn't take Trump 'seriously', only focusing on what they believed was good for business.
