Once considered an environmental champion as CEO of Tesla, Musk now took to X to blame Democrats and DEI for the L.A. fires. When a devastating wildfire hit California in November 2018, a powerful CEO went on Twitter to ask how his company could help.

Instead of mourning the dead and the devastating destruction that has befallen the city of Los Angeles due to raging wildfires, X owner Elon Musk has taken to his far-right hate speech incubator to blame the fires on diversity,

Musk said in a social media post “DEI means people DIE” without elaborating on how diversity commitments would impede the Los Angeles Fire Department’s ability to fight fires.
