Is Musk the Cardinal Richelieu of our time?

Holding “blind auditions” increased the % of women in orchestras significantly. Maybe we are just better. If women and minorities succeed without DEI will the administration impose DEI for people who look like them?

Noting all the media executives at the inauguration who have caved to the Trump protection racket. “Nice media company you have there, be a shame if something happened to it…”
