A social media post by Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur behind Tesla and SpaceX, caused a stir online recently.
In the post, Mr. Musk claimed to be the new Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer (DEI Officer) at The Walt Disney Company. This position focuses on promoting diversity and fairness within a company.
However, there hasn’t been any official announcement from Disney about Elon Musk joining their team. Disney is a giant in the entertainment industry, known for its theme parks and beloved characters like Mickey Mouse.
Excited to join @Disney as their Chief DEI Officer.

Can’t wait to work with Bob Iger & Kathleen Kennedy to make their content MORE woke!
Even the linguini.
Given the lack of official confirmation and Mr. Musk’s occasional playful use of social media, it seems more likely this was meant to be a humorous remark. There’s no current indication that Mr. Musk has assumed this role at Disney.
