Elon Musk has taken a jab at the United States Defense Department over a tweet declaring diversity as a “strategic imperative” on Twitter.
Musk, who has already ventured into privatizing space travel and transforming electric vehicle production, challenged the department’s stance on diversity and put them in their place with a Twitter post.
Your strategic imperative is defending the United States
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 19, 2023
The Pentagon had earlier declared diversity as crucial to mission readiness and accomplishment, but Musk argued that the department’s strategic imperative is to defend the United States.
He has already established himself as a revolutionary force in space travel and electric vehicle production and has now escalated the battle with the Pentagon. Musk’s tweet has succeeded in calling out the Defense Department’s priorities and asserting his position as a maverick entrepreneur.
