Did they dismantle it, or did it fall apart?

Can you imagine what sort of clusterfrick reassignment of staff is going to be?

Better than planes dismantling

I don’t really wish for companies to fall apart because Americans losing jobs sucks, but reading this particular story makes me fricking ecstatic

But here is who is taking credit/blame for it

A conservative influencer who has launched viral campaigns that forced other high-profile companies — including John Deere, Harley Davidson and Jack Daniels — to scrap their DEI policies took credit for Boeing’s overhaul.

Robby Starbuck said he reached out to Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg and board chair Steve Mollenkopf by email last month to let them know he would wage an online campaign against their DEI policies.

“Our campaigns are so effective that we’re getting some of the biggest corporations on earth to change their policies without me even posting a video first just from the fear they have of being the next company we expose,” Starbuck wrote on X on Thursday.

He added that the “landscape of corporate America is quickly shifting to sanity and neutrality.”

Musk had called out Boeing in the wake of the mid-air incident in January over a filing that appeared to show the company two years ago began using DEI goals as incentives for executive compensation after previously focusing solely on safety and quality controls.

“Do you want to fly in an airplane where they prioritized DEI hiring over your safety? That is actually happening,” Musk said on X.

In a subsequent, Musk wrote: “People will die due to DEI,” citing a news article on Alaska Airlines Flight 1282, which had to make an emergency landing at Portland International Airport after a chunk of the plane blew off at about 16,000 feet, leaving a gaping hole in the plane.

Nothing is changing. They are just distancing themselves from a backlash the ‘DEI’ name brings.
