In utterly unsurprising news, Maga blames diversity for the Los Angeles wildfires
Obviously, I’m being facetious when I say that Musk is blaming the wildfires on women.
Obviously, it’s more complicated than that.
To be more precise, the tech billionaire is also blaming the catastrophe on minorities, diversity initiatives and various other scapegoats.
Everything but the climate crisis, basically.
On Wednesday, for example, Musk took some time out from obsessively tweeting about whether the US should “liberate” Britain
to proclaim that the Los Angeles fire department (LAFD) “prioritized DEI over saving lives and homes”.
He has continued to post spurious claims about diversity initiatives (for example, “DEI means people DIE”) for days now,
along with posts insinuating that if LAFD’s fire chief weren’t a woman, then things would be very different.
Musk is not the only one trying to link wildfires to “wokeness”:
all the usual suspects are at it.
Donald Trump Jr has also been busy making uninspired jokes about DEI meaning DIE.
The rightwing actor James Woods and former Fox News host Megyn Kelly have railed about the fire department promoting diversity.
Even CNN commentator Scott Jennings blamed the wildfires on DEI policies.
